Show co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke confirmed that former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff, crooner Michael Bolton, reality TV party boy Michael “The Situation”

This summer, as “Grease” returns to theaters in sing-a-long form (it’s being billed as “the original high school musical”), and the surprisingly unstoppable “Step Up” series releases its third installment (in 3-D, no less), it’s clear: Films that feature dance are bigger than ever.

Accordingly, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best dance scenes ever shown on-screen.

Pollyanna-ish Sandy needn’t have bothered with her bad-girl makeover: She’d already won Danny’s heart. But we love the way Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta’s tight, black, “greaser” duds contrast with their super-sunny singing and dancing in this 1978 musical’s fun finale.

(The Frisky) — Over the past year, Kate Gosselin has come full circle in the court of public opinion. Around this time last year, most people thought of her as the shrewish mother of eight who was constantly nagging and snapping at her laid-back husband, Jon. As soon as they divorced last summer and Jon started dating a string of questionable 20-somethings, Kate became the sane and stable one to Jon’s man-boy.

Heading into Tuesday night’s season finale of “Dancing With the Stars,” it’s impossible to know who the audience will be pulling for, but it’s certainly clear who the judges are betting on.

Treating Nicole Scherzinger as if she’s already won and greeting Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews mostly with bored politeness, the judges firmly stood with Scherzinger on Monday night.

Niecy Nash joked about her “jiggly parts” throughout her run on “Dancing With the Stars,” but the actress and TV host was shaken out of the ballroom Tuesday.

She came into the results show in last place, with 43 points out of 60 for her two dances. Judges on the hit ABC show praised the Viennese waltz she performed with professional partner Louis Van Amstel on Monday’s episode, but they criticized the couple’s paso doble.

Even before she was booted from “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday night, seeing Kate Gosselin in tears had become a common occurrence.

Was the crying something she was doing for sympathy? Was it a failed attempt to garner votes to keep her on “DWTS”?

Skeptics would like to think so, but according to a friend of the mom/reality star, that’s not the case. Really, Gosselin is feeling pretty alone these days.

Kate Gosselin, one of the most talked-about contestants in the history of “Dancing With the Stars,” was kicked off the show Tuesday night after weeks of drama and not-so-great performances that riled up fans.

Say what you will about Gosselin’s dancing – which often looked more like walking and which the judges described as “catatonic,” “odd” and “hard to watch” at various points of the competition – she boosted the show’s ratings and kept trying despite overwhelming criticism.

In a departure from previous results shows, when producers kept Gosselin’s fate in limbo until the very end of the hour, she and professional partner Tony Dovolani were declared to be in the “bottom two” in the first few minutes.

It was “movie night” on “Dancing With The Stars,” which makes two weeks in a row that the show — currently riding a wave of improved ratings and Gosselin-driven hype — has avoided straightforward routines in favor of things that allow greater use of gimmicky costumes.

Unfortunately, if these theme shows are supposed to drum up excitement, movie night was not a success, because those who are always bad were still bad, the presumptive favorite was returned to her throne, and the chosen punching bag was restored to the bottom.

One more time, for the cheap seats in the back: Kate Gosselin is a single mother, and she does what she’s gotta do to take care of her 8 kids, as she told Jay Leno last night on “The Tonight Show.”

“I feel like I say this a lot, and for whatever reason, I feel like I have to defend myself,” Gosselin told Leno. “The truth is, moms work – single moms work. I travel and work and that’s my job, and I’m very grateful and fortunate to have a job. When work comes my way I only do it so I can literally put food on the table and send my kids to school.

Let’s see: Neon lights flashing the word “HOT,” balls of fire exploding on stage and celebrities throwing red, heart-shaped pillows at each other.

Do you get the hint?

It must be “passion night” on “Dancing With the Stars,” or “our most demanding night ever,” warned co-host Brooke Burke ominously at the start of the show.

The celebrity contestants and their professional partners had to dance the dramatic tango or the romantic rumba on last night’s episode and the judges were hard to please.
