Rob Kardashian

This has been a heck of a week for Dancing With the Stars controversy.

First, Maksim Chmerkovskiy lashed out at the judges for what he felt were unfair, personal critiques of his partner (a sentiment echoed by Chaz Bono).

Now, a fake tweet sent out by Kim Kardashian sent out to help her brother Rob on Monday night has come to light, and infuriated other contestants.

On Monday she wrote to her 10.7 million followers:

By writing “OMG I have @JustinBieber’s phone#!!!! 800 8684302! CALL HIM! He’s taking calls for the next hour!!!” she was actually pushing votes to Rob.

Funny? Harmless? Maybe, but her own fans turned on her, calling her “lame” and accusing her of cheating, while the DWTS cast too isn't pleased either.

“It is totally unfair that Kim did that,” one cast member said. “The other celebs on the show don’t send out fake information to trick people into voting.”

It's obviously unclear how many people called that number thinking they were actually dialing Justin Bieber, or if Rob had anything at all to do with it.

Still, “some of the contestants think Rob should actually be disqualified,” an insider said. What do you think? Should Rob be eliminated for this?

Rob Kardashian had much of the Kardashian family in the house to cheer him on last night, but did that translate to big scores for the Dancing With the Stars contender?

Not entirely.

With sisters Kim and Khloe, their respective NBA spouses Kris Humphries and Lamar Odom, and his mom Kris Jenner cheering him on, Rob couldn't quite find the magic.

His dance to “Walk Like a Man” with Cheryl Burke with the wardrobe to match was a fun doo-wop tribute, but his scores fell in the middle of the pack. Check it out:

“Each dance offers new challenges. There was no rhythm. It was awfully stiff. It wasn’t oily,” judge Len Goodman told Rob, while Bruno Tonioli chimed in as well.

“You have to be in charge. It was adequate, but it didn’t have the impact or power needed at this stage,” he said. Carrie Ann Inaba was more gracious, however.

“I definitely think I saw much more charisma out of you … I think you’re right on the cusp,” she said. Will being on the cusp keep him around another week?

Rob Kardashian has said he's in it to win it on Dancing With the Stars. We laughed that off a few weeks back, but are now starting to believe him.

Clad in a lime green shirt and black trousers, the 24-year-old got his sexy on with partner Cheryl Burke in front of the judges ... and sister Khloe.

Clearly it worked. Bruno raved that "Rob the heart throb" had finally come out, while Khloe Kardashian could not contain herself on Twitter:

"Wow!!!! Robert did so f****ng amazing!!!! Wow!!!!! Every single week he is improving!!!! So proud!!!" his 27-year-old sister wrote after the show.

Rob can thank hard work, Cheryl's guidance and BFF / former USC schoolmmate / DWTS standout contestant Romeo, who offered his tutelage.

Romeo came by the studio to teach Rob "how to be sexy." It seems to have worked, as his 25 points tied him with David Arquette for second.

Newly-minted contender and fan favorite Rob Kardashian channeled Superman last night for his movie-themed paso doble routine on Dancing With the Stars.

Bold move, likening one's self to the Man of Steel. But Rob delivered.

With Cheryl Burke as his Lois Lane, the judges were quite pleased ... words that had never before been spoken about a Kardashian on this show. Sorry Kim.

Bruno said it's time for Rob "to leave Smallville and take on the world." With the CW hit now a thing of the last, perhaps Roberto is ready to carry the mantle.

His performance earned a solid 24 points, putting him in a tie for third behind only Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez. Watch the super routine right here:

Last week's elimination on Dancing with the Stars was shocking for Cheryl Burke, who says she knows she and Rob Kardashian have to work that much harder now.

"It should not have happened," she said of Kristin Cavallari being sent packing.

"I believed Kristin and Mark were going to last for the long haul, so it's really scary because it doesn't matter what score you get - you could be the one eliminated."

Cheryl says she's proud of her partner and that his best days lie ahead.

"I think that Rob really came out of his shell [last] week, and he stands out because people didn't have high expectations for him," Burke told People.

"Every week he's showing that he cares about this competition and he's improving. He's super competitive and wants to do well. I think he's turning his reputation around, and people are really starting to like him and root for him."

The attitude adjustment is more key than you think. In a season where fan support and charisma may mean more than ever, it could carry him far.

DWTS returns tonight. Who do you think will win this season?

Rob Kardashian is in it to win it.

Thought by many, including this website, to be one of the weaker celebrities on Dancing With the Stars this fall, he's going strong after two weeks.

After Rob danced the jive on Monday, Carrie Ann Inaba proclaimed that Rob is better than Kim Kardashian at dancing. He could have quit right there.

Turns out he's just getting started.

Rumored to be an aloof slacker and only doing DWTS because his mom made him, Rob is practicing harder than ever, working out more in the gym AFTER rehearsals, and even bringing partner Cheryl Burke lunch every day.

Looks like someone's trying to prove a point.

Rob Kardashian will not win Dancing With the Stars, but he's officially won bragging rights after a strong jive routine with partner Cheryl Burke last night.

"It's official," Carrie Ann Inaba said, bestowing a compliment he'll never let his sister live down. "Rob Kardashian is a better dancer than Kim Kardashian!"

"No disrespect to Kim," Inaba continued, before heaping more praise. "But you have the dancing gene, honey. It's nice to see your confidence coming out."

Bruno Tonioli agreed, telling the reality star he'd started "to blossom," while Len Goodman praised Rob for his "great improvement" since last week.

Despite having a famous family, Rob Kardashian struggles with all eyes on him. "I'm scared as hell," he admitted during rehearsal for the ABC show.

"I don't feel great about myself at all. To be in front of people knowing I'm insecure with my weight, and I say I have man boobs jokingly, but it's true."

"Being surrounded by all these dancers who are in great shape, it's just hard to be around and [then] be able to put yourself out there like that."

With his score of 21, Kardashian tied Elisabetta Canalis, Chynna Phillips and Nancy Grace, just two points shy of Ricki Lake's field-leading total of 23.

Look for Rob to be easily safe tonight and live to show up Kim another week.

The Kardashian sisters are as confused by this week's Dancing with the Stars results as we are by their fame.

After brother Rob Kardashian was ranked in the bottom three on Tuesday night - saved from elimination when fans voted off Metta Peace instead - the siblings took to Twitter and expressed their outrage.

"There is NO way Rob Kardashian was trending worldwide last night and in the bottom 3. Impossible!" Kourtney wrote. "HOW IS ELISABETTA SAFE?!??! HOW?! Seriously!!!"

Khloe Kardashian had the answer for her shocked sister, Tweeting: "Shows are rigged all the time."

Finally, Kim chimed in with an abuse of the English language: "Rob in the bottom three is impossible! He did soooo good!"

Allow THG three responses to these reactions:

1. Kourtney, trending does not mean one is popular. Rob may have been trending because people were curious about the brother of the girl who got famous for having sex with Ray J on video.
2. Khloe, the show might be rigged. Viewers also might dislike your talent-free family.
3. Kim, unless you are referring to charity work Rob did during commercial breaks, one cannot do "good." One can only do "well."

Dancing With the Stars saw plenty of strong performances last night. Chynna Phillips and J.R. Martinez in particular stood out atop the Season 13 crowd.

Ron Artest (a.k.a. Metta World Peace)? Rob Kardashian? Not so much.

"It's a new season, we've got a new set, but it's the same old shimmying-about stuff," head judge Len Goodman told the newly-named Los Angeles Laker.

"Your footwork was atrocious. It was all sizzle, no sausage."

BLAM. As for Kardashian, he wasn't quite as terrible, but Chaz Bono scored better than he did, as did sister Kim a few seasons back. Not a good sign.

See the performances that left both men at the bottom of the scoreboard and likely a little nervous about their status tonight by following the jump:

Rob Kardashian may soon be Dancing with the Stars, but an insider says he's currently angering his famous sister.

According to ROCK SOLID SNITCHES at Media Take Out, this family's least famous famous sibling is shacking up with Dollicia Bryan, a woman once rumored to have slept with Reggie Bush while the running back was dating Kim.

Bryan denies any affair took place, but she did take Kardashian to task in last July's issue of King (above), telling the magazine:

"We’re two different women. I’m a mother, so I can never be famous for leaking a sex tape... there’s a huge difference between us. I’ll stay the Queen of talent and acting, but as far as being the Queen of who I’m dating and being in the media all the time; she can stay the Queen of that."

Challenge, extended. Will Kim respond?!?
