Another star exits from 'Dancing'

[April 18, 2012]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The sweetness is gone for Gavin DeGraw on "Dancing with the Stars."

The singer-songwriter and his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff, were bounced from the ABC show Tuesday after the judges' scores were combined with viewers' votes.

DeGraw has been juggling "Dancing with the Stars" and a concert tour promoting his new album, "Sweeter."

Returning to compete next week will be actors Jaleel White, Roshon Fegan, William Levy and Melissa Gilbert; singers Gladys Knight and Katherine Jenkins; TV personality Maria Menounos; and football star Donald Driver.

The hosts announced that next week's Motown-themed episode will feature performances by the Temptations, Martha Reeves and Smokey Robinson.
