Bruno: 'I Want to See The Situation in 25 Years...'
"Extra's" Terri Seymour caught up with "Dancing with the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli after Tuesday's results show, where the exuberant critic weighed in on "The Situation" and Michael Bolton's show-stopping performance of "Hallelujah."
After calling "Jersey Shore's" Mike "The Situation" a "crappy dancer," Bruno told Terri he's "a cultural phenomenon. Even better than Paris Hilton!" And of his well-flashed abs, Bruno said, "I want to see 'The Situation' in 25 years and see if he's still got it."
The Situation, in comparing his abs to Bruno's, said, "It's like comparing basketball with football, know what I'm saying? He's a great basketball player. I'm a great football player. Haha."
Tonioli received a lot of sharp criticism himself for his review of Michael Bolton's jive last week, but still make no apology for it. "I have to do my job, and that is that," said the fiery dance maven.
Bolton clearly wasn't a great dancer, but Bruno couldn't deny his singing ability. "He had one hour to learn a new song, and come out performing it brilliantly," the "Dancing" judge said of Michael's performance last night, after Bolton stepped in for Susan Boyle, who had to cancel last-minute due to a throat infection.
Tune in to "Dancing with the Stars" next Monday to see who makes it through another week of twirls and lifts.
