Oh-oh! She’s here. The Icon. Ladies and gentlemen, Cher is in the building.

It was movie night on "Dancing With The Stars" when the celebrities danced to motion picture movie scores.

Let’s begin with the fashion—or should I say costumes. The celebrities were dressed in outfits corresponding to the movie score they were performing: “Raiders of the Lost Arc,” “Pink Panther,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Rocky.” All in all, the costumes really enhanced the drama for the performances. But I wonder…what they do with these clothes after the celebs have sweated in them?

J.R. Martinez danced to Mancini's "The Pink Panther."

The show began with an exciting Paso Doble dance number performed to a medley of movie scores. Louis Van Amstel, one of the pro dancers, choreographed the number.

For the celebrities’ performances, some of them did very well. Others did enough to keep them in the competition.

Hope Solo performed the dreaded Fox Trot to the score from “Toy Story.” (You know, “You’ve Got a Friend.”) I think she did enough to stay on the show. But, you never know.

Rob Kardashian danced the Paso Doble to the score from “Superman.” He did a decent job. And he did look like Clark Kent. Passive.

Mr.Hoot himself, Carson Kressley performed the Viennese Waltz to the scorefrom “Pirates of the Caribbean”—in all his pirate glory. The dance wasokay but he is clearly having a lot of fun and he is very entertaining.He quipped that he was portraying a group of men who go around dressedin tights looking for jewelry.

Unfortunately, poor Chynna Phillips had a bad night. She performed the Tango to the “Mission Impossible” movie score. And sorry, that mission was a failure. Once she lost her footing, it was down hill from there. Her partner Tony Dovolani just carried her around like a deer caught in headlights. This contender may be in trouble. We'll see.

ChazBono was given the most appropriate movie score of the night. He dancedthe Paso Doble to the movie score “Rocky.” No matter how many times youget knocked down, you keep on keeping on. The dance was not bad but hestill may be in elimination trouble.

Cher appeared as she promised. She gave her son a standing ovation and shed some tears when Chaz received his highest scores so far. Can you sing, “You Believe in Life… After Dancing With the Stars!”

Nancy Grace performed the Paso Doble to the score from “Flash Gordon.” (Huh?)

And she said she didn't want to be the bull…isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. Confused? Let me explain. The Paso Doble represents a bull fight. The man represents the red cape and the woman represents the bull to be killed.

Just so we’re clear: Nancy Grace, not a bull. But maybe she’s going home.

David Arquette danced the Paso Doble to the score from “Raiders of the Lost Arc.” Not bad, got to use a whip. I don’t think that was his first time.

J.R. Martinez unfortunately had to dance the Fox Trot to Henry Mancini’s score from the “Pink Panther.” They let him have a little fun this time. Come on—he got to wear a pink tux and top hat. Did a nice job, considering. Still not going home.

But,the HOT! number of the night was performed by Ricki Lake and DerekHough. They performed a fantastic dramatic Tango to the score fromAlfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” Ricki looked flawless and the death sceneat the end: Brilliant! She received the first 10s of the season.

Ricki Lake danced to "Psycho." No, really--and she landed the top score.

I think this might be Nancy’s time to go, but it could be Chaz. We'll see. Anything can happen.

As always, keep on dancing.
