DANCING WITH THE STARS Monday 10/17/11 (8:00-10:01 PM) on ABC

THIS WEEK’S “DANCING WITH THE STARS” CELEBRATES THE ’80S

“Episode 1305″ – The competition gets heated as the remaining eight couples perform any style dance to favorite classic ’80s hit songs. And iconic pop group The Bangles visit the ballroom with a special performance, singing some of their biggest hits, “Manic Monday” and a medley of “Eternal Flame” and “Walk Like an Egyptian.”

With their common love for rock’s golden age and the crystalline sound they naturally created, The Bangles began their long and winding road together 30 years ago, and it is evident that their bond still remains with the release of their latest album, “Sweetheart of the Sun.” The album is their first release of new material in nearly eight years and is filled with a fresh batch of definitive Bangles songs. Some of the 10 original songs on this 12-song album are new, while others had extremely long gestation periods, tucked away but not forgotten. The Bangles — guitarist/singer Susanna Hoffs, guitarist/singer Vicki Peterson and drummer/singer Debbi Peterson — are currently on tour performing a mix of their classics and new material from “Sweetheart of the Sun.”

The remaining couples are:

* DAVID ARQUETTE, actor and producer, and partner KYM JOHNSON.
* CHAZ BONO, author and activist, and partner LACEY SCHWIMMER.
* NANCY GRACE, TV host and journalist, and partner TRISTAN MACMANUS.
* ROBERT KARDASHIAN, reality star, and partner CHERYL BURKE.
* CARSON KRESSLEY, television star and style guru, and partner ANNA TREBUNSKAYA.
* RICKI LAKE, talk show host and actress, and partner DEREK HOUGH.
* J.R. MARTINEZ, veteran and actor, and partner KARINA SMIRNOFF.
* HOPE SOLO, World Cup star, and partner MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY.

Hosted by Tom Bergeron (“America’s Funniest Home Videos”) and Brooke Burke-Charvet (“Dancing with the Stars” Season Seven Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
