A Wiggy Night at DWTS
I just spoke with “Dancing with the Stars” contender and ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews and complimented her on the blonde wig she wore last night to perform the theme from “Pulp Fiction” with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
But there was high drama backstage right before the show and it all centered on the Uma Thurman black wig that Andrews had been wearing all day. She said she doesn’t let the hair people put anything in her tresses. No ornaments for Erin, so the costuming effect was a big deal.
“It took a lot to get me in a wig,” she told me. “I’m really not daring, and last night was out-of-the-box. But I was wearing it all day, and Maksim came in to see me and I started blushing. By later in the day, I was really used to it.”
Shortly before air, a huge drama unfolded. It was determined that having Erin wear the black wig was copyright infringement of the iconic Quentin Tarantino film. So she had to go from being a brunette to dancing as a platinum blonde that you saw in the show.
“They were practically pulling my hair out at the last minute,” she said. “The studio felt really bad about it.”
