2 celebs are booted from 'Dancing With the Stars'

[May 09, 2012]  NEW YORK (AP) -- It was two dancers down in a double elimination on "Dancing With the Stars."

Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan and actress Melissa Gilbert were bounced Tuesday as the hit ABC dance-off wrapped up its eighth week of competition.

Gilbert was hearing her fate the day she turned 48 years old. But she insisted that getting this far in the contest made it an incredible birthday.

Fegan and Gilbert join previously ousted contestants Jaleel White, Gavin DeGraw, Gladys Knight, Sherri Shepherd, Jack Wagner and Martina Navratilova.

Singer Katherine Jenkins had begun the night in jeopardy after Monday's trio dance, but was spared. She'll be back next week for the semi-finals to compete with actor William Levy, TV personality Maria Menounos and football star Donald Driver.
