Zap2it on the Scene: KTLA Morning Show
'Dancing With the Stars' underdog Mike Catherwood explains his enthusiastic new fan base
So when Catherwood stopped by The KTLA News Morning Show, Zap2it had a sit down with the contestant we've grown so attached to. And in addition to telling us about Loveline colleague Dr. Drew Pinsky's rather unorthodox approach to dealing with his friend's low scores, Mike divulged the most unusual side effect of his burgeoning fame.
"Dr. Drew has gotten awful meat-heady about 'Dancing With the Stars,'" Catherwood tells us of his friend who sat in the audience for the Mar. 28 episode. "He just threatens to beat everybody up. He wants me to go far and do well, but he feels like the only way to rectify my low scores is by beating up Bruno and Len... I don't know why he's getting so brutish, but it's support."
Catherwood can also count on support from a demographic he never knew existed: people who really, really want to sleep with him.
"The major difference," he says of his life since Season 12 started, "is that men and women alike are offering me sexual relations. People I've never met before, they'll just email me or find me on the street. And they'll be like, 'Hey you want some of that?' And that's pretty cool."
But not that cool. He's quick to point out that he hasn't actually taken any of them up on their offers.

he is so freakin' hot and adorable and funny - i want him on my shelf
Mike Catherwood, seriously? Both women and MEN want to sleep with you? Ironic, considering the many homophobic comments you regularly make. Maybe gays don't look so bad now that you need fans for your no talent dancing.
Loser.
@Eric That's such a gay thing to say
@Eric, I was literally thinking the same exact thing when I read Mike's comments. It sucks because he's so charming and good-looking that I really want to like him, but sadly he has made homophobic comments in the past that make it hard to do so.
If you guys have listened to Mike on the radio, you would know he is not homophobic. And if these past comments you're referring to are the adam lambert jokes on E!, please. Making a joke about a gay person doesn't make you homophobic.
Catherwood is an egotistical jerk. He thinks he is being funny, but is it usually at someone else's expense. Glad he is the first one kicked off!!
more gays complaining about whatever - dude is hot - he can be as homophobic as he wants while i'm working his tool
and seriously, what does adam lambert expect when he performs and dresses and acts the way he does - i'm gay and i think he's a freak of nature - has a great voice - but i like him so much better when he tones it down and isn't trying to stand out so much
His next career move should be into gay porn where he can show the world what a total bottom boi he is...
Who cares about Adam Labert! his so ******* want to be a woman! I like u Mike! I hope to see u on TV soon!
