Fan-favorite Robert Irwin charmed fans with a Halloween performance fit for a fairy tale. The “Dancing With the Stars” contestant shared a heartwarming video of himself dancing with his 4-year-old niece, Grace, writing, “Promised Cinderella a dance for Halloween.

Viewers praised the wildlife conservationist for showing his softer side off the ballroom floor.
Former DWTS winner and Robert’s sister, Bindi Irwin, couldn’t help but gush over her brother’s touching moment with her daughter.

Their mother, Terri Irwin, also chimed in with love, writing, “You made Grace’s dream come true!”

Why Bindi Irwin Missed Her Brother’s DWTS Performance
Bindi, who won “Dancing With the Stars” Season 21, has been cheering her younger brother on from home. The 27-year-old revealed that she, her husband, Chandler Powell, and their daughter, Grace, had all come down with a bug during Halloween week.
“Chandler, Grace, and I all got a bug and I’ve completely lost my voice now…so we will be cheering (quietly) from our living room for Robert and Witney,” Bindi wrote on Instagram Oct. 28. “They have an incredible dance for Halloween week, beyond proud of their hard work and dedication.”
Terri Irwin replied in the comments, “Sending get well vibes!”
This marked the second week in a row that Bindi missed being in the ballroom. The previous week, she stayed home while Grace recovered from a cold.
The Irwin Family’s Unbreakable Bond
Despite her absence, Bindi has been one of Robert’s biggest supporters. Earlier this year, she celebrated his “Dancing With the Stars” casting, writing, “Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom. I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved.”
Robert, 21, later shared that he’s been following his sister’s advice closely. “She said, ‘Just try and give it your all, but enjoy and make it your own,’” he told E! News in September. “I was so proud of her, watching her light up the ballroom. Proudest little brother in the world. That’s why I’m here, that’s why I’m doing this.”
As Robert continues to make his mark on “Dancing With the Stars,” his fairytale “Cinderella” moment with Grace has given fans yet another reason to cheer him on, both as a dancer and as the world’s sweetest uncle.
RHOSLC’s Lisa Barlow Clears up ‘Criminal Lawsuit’ Misconceptions: ‘Everyone Online…’
Lisa Barlow is still answering questions about the lawsuits filed against her. If it’s not her co-stars on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
The Vida Tequlia founder hosted a Clarity Luncheon to clear her name to the RHOSLC ladies. Lisa was met with disbelief from some, and more questions from others. So during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she clarified the situation once again.
Lisa Barlow’s lawsuits are “civil,” not “criminal”
WWHL host Andy Cohen posed a public question regarding Lisa’s four lawsuits on the October 28 episode. Viewers wanted to know if they had been “dismissed” in court as Lisa claimed during her luncheon from Season 6, Episode 3.
“Yes, and I just want to clear up a few things. They’re civil lawsuits; they’re not criminal. I’ve never done anything criminal. Everyone online that keeps saying I’m going to jail is wrong,” she replied.
The Clarity Luncheon included giant posters adorned with the words dismissed. However, despite all of Lisa’s supposed explanations, few of her costars accepted it. She chalked it up to a lack of listening skills.
“I cleared up a lot at the clarity lunch,” Lisa explained. “It’s the commitment to listening and asking the same question over and over and over again. That was the problem. I had cute posters, a great outfit… I mean, it went on and on and on for a long time.”
At the time of filming, Lisa equated the lawsuits with “fanciful tales.” She said during the episode, “People can sue you for anything. You can allege anything. So, I figured, like, I’m gonna have a little lunch and we’re gonna talk about the allegations versus facts.”
Will Lisa’s words make any difference with her co-stars? She’s certainly under suspicion from the RHOSLC ladies for allegedly planting stories about them.
