Jennie Garth brings husband to tears through 'Dancing'

Dancing with the Stars competitor Jennie Garth, 35, gave an emotional performance last night — at least for her husband, Peter Facinelli, 33. Jennie tells Access Hollywood:

I think my husband was crying when he stood up at the end and was clapping for me. He knows how hard I’ve been working and sacrificing time with my babies.

When the interviewer for Access Hollywood asked Peter if the tears were for real, he responded saying:

Yeah. David Hasselhoff crocodile tears coming down my face.

Peter also made a comment about Jennie’s new shape since she has been dancing.

I said it’s like I got a new car.

Jennie responded by covering Peter’s mouth saying:

No, don’t tell them the rest. This is a family show.

Jennie and Peter are parents to three daughters: Luca Bella, 10, Lola Ray, 4 1/2, and Fiona Eve, 1 on Sept. 30.

Jane Seymour dances for her mom

Actress Jane Seymour, 56, is competing on Dancing with the Stars this fall. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, Ellen, Seymour explained that she has a special reason to excel in the competition – she is dancing for her mom.

I was really, really sad, because my mom had a stroke, and she’s in a nursing home, and she can’t talk anymore and she can’t move. I’d been asked to do (the show) and I mentioned it to her over the phone…and my mother started trying to talk. She went, ‘Wuhwuhwuhwuhwuh,’ she got so excited.

So then I said, ‘Well, Mommy, I’m going to do it for you, and I hope you’ll be proud.’ And she said the first word she’s ever said [since the stroke]. She said, ‘Yes!’ And we were all in shock. So I’m doing it for her. And they’re going to show it in England two days after we do it here, so she’ll actually be able to see it.

Jane is mother to four children: Katherine, 26, Sean, 21, and twins Johnny and Kris, 12.

Bridie Carter on Dancing with the Stars, more children and her delicious son

Former McLeod’s Daughters star, Australian actress Bridie Carter, 36, talked to Woman’s Day this week about her upcoming role as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and her "delicious" son. Bridie, who worked on McLeod’s Daughters for over five years, returned to work just six weeks after welcoming son, Otis Carter Wilson, in March 2005. Bridie is married to clothing designer, Michael Wilson.

Bridie says that Otis is just adorable and that going back to work, while breastfeeding, was one of the hardest things she has ever done.

He’s delicious, edible, my heart explodes with love! After he was born, I said I didn’t realize how much love you could feel for your child, but it gets better and better. He’s at such a wonderful age now. It makes it hard to go to work, but he comes with me to every job. He was only five weeks old when I went back to McLeod’s. I look back with horror. I was working 60-hour weeks and breast-feeding.

When asked about having more children, this is definitely something that Bridie and Michael have considered. Though, not initially.

That’s the question everyone asks as soon as you have one child! I didn’t think I wanted another baby at first, but my dear cousin Jess told me something would happen once Otis turned two, and it has. We would love him to have a sibling. I think he would be a great brother. Not yet, but I’m open to the idea. That’s the plan.
