J.R. Martinez: “I’m Cool With Being Different” (PHOTOS)

SPOTTED: J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff of Dancing with the Stars at an interview with Extra at The Grove with Mario Lopez.

J.R. also covers this week’s People mag with the headline, “Triumph After Tragedy.”

The 28 year-old Iraq war hero was involved in a 2003 explosion after his Humvee hit a land mine. He suffered burns covering 40 percent of his body and underwent surgeries and a grueling 34-month treatment. Yet, despite all of his struggles, J.R. tells People“I’m being blessed in so many ways, and it’s because of the energy I’m putting out in the world.”

The former All My Children star says if it weren’t for the accident, his “life would not be what it is today: full of joy, happiness and positivity.”

“When you show people who you really are and you’re genuine, you don’t have to force positivity. I’m not your typical person walking down the street. I’m cool with being different.”

And those are the reasons why America has fallen in love with J.R.

Karina and J.R. brought gifts for Mario’s baby Gia

JUDGES COMMENTS: Carri Ann Inaba said she sees all of the efforts Hope puts into her movements and said she saw her relaxing and trusting her natural sexiness for the first time, coming out in glimpses of a beautiful vulnerable girl. But she said Hope sometimes forces the moves so much that it distorts them.
Len Goodman said he was at a loss because he never lost faith in her because he believes she still has a lot of potential. He told her this was her worst dance of the whole season. He said he was really disappointed. When Max tried to get the crowd to boo Len, Len said, “Max, don’t start all that because half the fault is yours.” Maks said, “As long as the audience liked our journey, we’re good.”  Len shot back, “Let me tell you Maks, the audience like the effect, I’ve been in this business for nearly fifty years, my criteria to judge is different.” Maks quipped, “Maybe it’s time to get out!” Carri Ann scolded Maks,  “WOAH! Don’t be disrespectful like that!” Maks said, “Don’t be disrespectful like that to everybody because everybody is putting in a lot of effort, dying and killing themseleves always to hear your guys’ a little judgmental comments, you know what I mean? I am not being disrespectful, I am just protecting my partner!”
Bruno Tolioni: First, Hope, look at me, performance, difficult song and you portrayed the emotion. It worked sometimes but the Rumba never stops moving…It never gelled quite as well as it could have.

After the judges’ scores were revealed, Maks continued, “With all due respect, this is my show. I helped make it what it is. I love every aspect of it. I love every professional that has ever been here and every celebrity that puts effort every week. Having said that, I am a little tired that we’re being judged some on efforts and some being picked on our heel leads.”
