Big Time Rush star James Maslow has shot to the top as an early favorite on season 18 of Dancing With the Stars, but when he’s not perfecting his paso doble with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, the singer/musician/ actor, 23, lies low at home in Venice, one of L.A.’s hippest areas, restoring old cars, shooting hoops or manning the grill for friends. Always nearby is Fox, his Alaskan Klee Kai dog.Here’s a glimpse at James’ life at home.
