LOS ANGELES (AP) - A high-scoring command performance couldn't
keep Denise Richards on "Dancing With the Stars."
The 38-year-old actress was eliminated from the hit ABC show
Tuesday.
Richards said after Monday's performance that she "would be
shocked" not to be in the dance off with her partner Maksim
Chmerkovskiy - a last chance to improve her judges' scores and
remain in the competition.
Despite what the judges said was an improved samba, the couple
failed to dominate against fellow low-scoring couple, reality star
Holly Madison and Dmitry Chaplin.
