Looking fabulous as always.  As for the tattoo, I’d be willing to bet that it’s all for the movie.  :-) Looks interesting from here, anyway. Thanks to the multiple people who emailed it to me and tweeted it to me. You know who you are.

Lots of random little tid bits of Derek info came out over the past week and I’ve been saving it up for one post. Mainly because I’ve been very busy. Heh. Understatement.

First, and most important (to me) is that Derek is getting another shot at being Kelly’s cohost on February 6th. Yay!!  From Zap2It’s TV by the Numbers:

February 6, 2012 – “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer and Season 13 finalist DEREK HOUGH kicks off the week as Kelly’s guest co-host for the day. The guests are actress Debra Messing, and, from “The Middle,” young actor Atticus Shaffer.

We don’t know for sure that Derek will be on the next season of DWTS, but we will find out for sure the Week of February 28th when the cast is announced, provided he doesn’t tell us first.

Derek has gotten involved in a very worthy cause – the Dizzy Feet Foundation

I am officially a DizzyFeet Foundation Board Member. Look forward working with a great group of people to help the arts .

Derek Hough

Nappytabs gave us a picture from Cobu 3D filming – Derek, BoA and Napoleon working on camera blocking:

Sally Han (@SallyHan_Psalms) posted this photo from BTS at Cobu – go friend her on facebook or say hi and follow her on Twitter.

I know lots of Derek’s fans can’t see instagram photos unless Derek also tweets them…or someone else tweets them and you happen to follow them. Of course, if you have a iPhone, iPad or other iThingies, you can see instagram and it’s no big deal – this post is for those of you who aren’t seeing Derek’s pictures that stay on instagram and don’t get tweeted. Of course, I’ll include all of them – they’re too great not to include.

I think this is my favorite of the pictures Derek took, not including those he’s in.

If this doesn’t make your ovaries explode, I don’t know what will.

Here’s another one of the very sexy series of Derek and Bree on the Cobu set, this one tweeted by Derek:

Then @Nappytabs got in on the Sexy Derek and Bree photo tweeting. Go find Nappytabs on twitter and thank him, then beg for more.

Lots and lots of pictures of Derek floating around out there taken by various people, including Derek himself. I’m going to try to post them and give the proper people credit – if I get something wrong or leave something out, just let me know it the comments and I’ll fix it. It’s hard for me to keep up with all the stuff flying around.

Picture of the (last 5) year(s) – posted by Derek on Instagram. How long till Cobu again? The wait is killing me.

Derek tweeted this one (or instagram’d it) from the set of Cobu:

@Famous_Jae apparently posted this on his facebook but I saw it on twitter – go like him and his photos.

@Sindai tweeted this one of herself with Derek and Napoleon Dumo

@Amanda_Kelly96 tweeted this one – it looks a couple years old. Cute picture of a cute couple. Go to her twitter…she posted another picture too.

You want to know why there are suddenly ugly black banners across this site?? Today is internet blackout day to protest SOPA and PIPA – read more about this bad legislation on PureDWTS and across the internet.

If you agree this is potentially harmful legislation – write your congress person.  If you’re international, some of the links on PureDWTS lead to a site where you can contact the State Department. This will eventually affect you as well, since it will be setting a precedent.

I’m all for protecting someone’s copyrights – but not at the expense of a free and open internet. Not to mention they already have legislation to do these things.

Love this video…

…and the results are fabulous!!  Only problem is, I think he’s forgets to hit the tweet button. So, for those of you who don’t have instagram, I’ll try to post when he forgets to tweet – you can get instagram if you have an iPhone or iPad. It’s nice to have all his pics in one place anyway. These pictures are all from the extra Cobu scene in New Orleans.

@DaRealNette posted these on Twitter of Derek dancing on Bourbon Street (click here to see another one of him dancing on the garbage can):

And here’s a pic that I’m not sure where it came from – @DWTSGossip tweeted it.

And here’s a great one that Derek himself tweeted. Gorgeous!

I almost forgot this awesome one from Bruce Hough!!

He’s about halfway through, looking gorgeous as usual. Nice long video from Entertainment Tonight, with a short write up:

Some of Dancing with the Stars’ most beloved cast members reunited for a fabulous photo shoot promoting the Game Show Network’s acquisition of the hit ABC show’s reruns, where they shared their excitement for re-living their past seasons all over again on GSN — and what they took away from being on the show.

Don’t get too excited, it’s only about 15 seconds longer. But it is 15 seconds of additional hotness. FYI – DWTS Season 4 starts on GSN January 21. No Derek, but me and Courtney will do the occasional Cheesecake. Actually, there is a bit of Derek in rumba week – he shows up in Julianne and Apolo’s rehearsal.

So yummy.  Thank you, GSN.
