LOS ANGELES, May 5 (UPI) -- Rapper Lil' Kim and her professional dance partner Derek Hough were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles Tuesday night.

"I think this is one of the greatest experiences I've ever experienced in my life," Lil' Kim said upon learning her fate. "I think I brought different viewers because I know people who have never watched the show and they watch the show (now.) It's been a great experience."

"I love this girl so much," Hough said. "She has been one of my favorites by far."

The remaining contestants headed into the semifinals, along with their professional dance partners, are Melissa Rycroft, Shawn Johnson, Gilles Marini and Ty Murray.
