| | | Dancing With The Stars broke up Barkers | | Posted Sunday, August 27, 2006 2:22:01 AM by Blog57 Team | | Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and wife Shanna Moakler decided to end their marriage because she agreed to become a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. The couple announced they were separating earlier this month, amid rumours the former Miss USA was unfaithful during their marriage. However, a source close to Moakler tells American publication Us Weekly her participation in the show was the real reason behind the split, saying, "When he found out, he flipped and told her he wanted a wife, not a Hollywood socialite."

Every few beats, the dancers change directions. Or they hesitate and kick sharply in time with a romantic Argentine tango melody. At first, a visitor might not even notice Daniel Arredondo, the thin 35-year-old man with deep brown eyes and curly hair hanging past his shoulders. He's so smooth, so subtle, so focused on his dance partner that he blends into the crowd. But this man is not just any dancer - he's Charlotte's tango king. This crowd, this music, this passionate dance, Arredondo orchestrated all of it. Without him, there might be no Argentine tango scene here.... | |
