Spoiler alert! Do not read any further if you don’t want to know who got the boot yet tonight on Dancing With the Stars.

ABC executives threw four star singers into tonight’s results show to spin-out the drama to the last seconds. The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin sang “Chain of Fools” and “Respect,” Leona Lewis performed '”Bleeding Love,” John Legend sang “Green Light” and our Las Vegas Academy singer-dancer Julianne Hough performed her current country hit “My Hallelujah Song,” which had the studio audience on its feet with applause.

Down in the final moments, our Vegas regular Lance Bass was declared safe along with TV host and actress Brooke Burke. My prediction from week 1 remains safe. That left Hannah Montana star Cody Linley and Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp.

Backstage rumors out of DWTS indicate that teenage Cody, the youngest contestant to ever dance on the show, has fallen “head over heels” in love with Julianne -- and she’s had to tread gingerly with him as she has her own country singer beau!

Despite everybody rooting for Julianne performing so bravely after surgery just two weeks ago, the viewers turned on teen heartthrob Cody -- and he was sent home for good! It was the end of the run for our Vegas girl Julianne, who on her four seasons had racked up two DWTS championships -- with athletes Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves!

The three remaining stars -- Brooke, Lance and Warren -- meet again next Monday night for the ultimate battle and showdown!
