Taking the Show on the Road: How did Lil' Kim and Derek Hough celebrate following Tuesday's results show? They had a jam session! The rapper joined the Ballas Hough Band and performed "It's All About the Benjamins" at The Grove in Los Angeles. While Chuck Wicks signed autographs for fans and sweethearts Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff huddled nearby, Lil' Kim rocked the stage with her dance partner and fellow pro and BHB bandmate Mark Ballas. The crowd cheered wildly for Lil' Kim, who thanked her Dancing with the Stars family for showing up and supporting them. Ballas, who showcased his rap skills on part of the song, said afterward, "It was an honor performing with Lil' Kim."

Carb Loading: Gilles Marini, who's known for burning it up on the dancefloor, was fueling up behind the scenes. Dressed casually in a black T-shirt and pants, the French actor was spotted quickly chowing down on a bowl of pasta and chatting with friends and colleagues before Tuesday's show.

Go, Team!: Ballroom pros Mark Ballas and Chelsie Hightower gave each other a supporting hand after their dance performance to Rascal Flatts by high-fiving each other after their energetic number.



Spread the Dancing 'Love': Before every show, the studio plays music to give the guest audience a chance to shake their booty. Tuesday night, the spotlight was on the balcony. As guests danced to Dr. Dre's "California Love," Lacey Schwimmer and Gilles Marini made a surprise appearance on the second level to dance with the studio audience members to the roar of the crowd's approval. --Elaine Aradillas
