Big Dancing with the Stars news…someone called the dirt phone to report that Mario Lopez and his dance partner Karina are engaged!!! Cool.
In other DWTS news.. ABC's refusal to release audience voting is adding fuel to the conspiracy theory that Mario Lopez, and not Emmit Smith, won "Dancing With The Stars." And this is coming from a source who works on the show. The insider says, "Disney execs were NOT happy when they learned early in the season that Mario insisted he had no formal dance training." Apparently, that wasn't the case. Now this source says Mario is so angry that he's considering legal action. His rep, of course, says that's not true. Meantime, a rep for the show declined to provide any information about voting figures or the extent to which previous dance training is permitted. In other "DWTS" news, Willa Ford is engaged to her hunky hockey boyfriend Mike Modano. She says, "We were out to dinner the other night, and I think he had the ring with him the entire night... He was really nervous. And then right before we went to sleep, he asked me and I said yes."
Paris Hilton has pulled out of hosting the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas tonight. She and Britney Spears were supposed to host this thing together, but Britney dropped out on Thursday. And now Paris says she won't do it because of some of the jokes written at the expense of her celebrity friends. She didn't want to say anything hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows, so she dropped out.
In case the world didn't see enough of Britney Spears' private parts yet, she went out of her way to show off her junk again -- but this time, it was definitely intentional.
After arriving in a skin tight dress that barely covered her butt or her 25th birthday party, Britney and a few pals settled in at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills -- right next to a giant glass window. Before she even sat down, Britney played it up for the paparazzi -- shaking her booty, and even bending over to give the crowd one hell of a view.
Britney returned to the window several times during the party, dancing, waving and making every effort to guarantee that the crowd noticed her butt.
Britney celebrated her 25th birthday with – who else – new galpal Paris Hilton, and they added a third at least for Saturday night – Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. After eating at Mr. Chow, the girls nestled into a corner table with Paris and Fergie at L.A. hotspot Hyde, and walked "hand in hand" around the club until past 2 AM.
"Prison Break" star Lane Garrison was involved in a car crash that killed a 17-year-old boy late Saturday night in L.A.

Authorities had not determined who was driving the car, though it was reportedly registered to Garrison. Garrison suffered minor injuries in the crash, while the conditions of the two girls were not released

Jessica Simpson and Luke Wilson, who are costarring in Blonde Ambition being shot in Shreveport, La., were spotted checking out a local hot spot on Thursday night. The pals arrived at the upscale club Phoenix Underground so early that there were more employees there than patrons, according to a source at the club. "Luke was there the night before, and he wanted to show the place to Jessica," the source says. "She was very friendly to everyone." Phoenix Underground is a 14,000 square-foot club that was once a bank; it's dance floor used to be the bank's vault. Wilson spent about four hours there on Wednesday evening, according to the source. At the club, Jessica posed for pictures and chatted with people for about a half hour before leaving with her costar. Their movie, Blonde Ambition, has been described as a remake of the 1980s movie, Working Girl.
Jennifer Garner says don't believe what you've heard. She's not pregnant with baby number two... She's simply out of shape. Jen says she's been so focused on family life with hubby Ben Affleck and their one-year-old daughter Violet that she hasn't found much time to visit the gym. In fact, she says she's in the worst shape ever! She says, "My trainer just shakes her head and says, 'This is a disaster.'"
Tom Cruise is big buddies with Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Will admits that he and Tom have had some in depth conversations about Scientology, but don't be looking for him to convert.

Plus, he says his late grandmother would NOT approve. He says, "I was raised in a Baptist household, and my grandmother would get up out of her casket!"
Kevin Federline wants to drag out his 15 minutes as long as he possibly can. He's in negotiations to develop his own reality series with Kenneth Crear -- the brains behind "The House of Carters." Kevin liked the way Kenneth made Nick Carter look real and trustworthy. Kenneth promises that Kevin's show wouldn't be filled with attacks on Britney Spears. He says, "Kevin doesn't dislike or hate Britney. The show will show him for who he is, but not smear her." They're hoping to shoot 8 episodes and see where it goes from there.

There is ALWAYS crap like this after these reality shows, and winners being announced. From people who are fighting to earn fame, I could understand it. But, from someone who's already "famous" to stoop to a level like that, I find it pathetic, and childish. Emmett won because he did a good job, and people love him. Mario is a good dancer, but a lot of people haven't forgotten that he was arrested for abusing his woman, awhile back. I didn't vote for him because of that.
It's just a show... grow up, move on with life, and then, be happy.

She didn't want to say anything hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows, so she dropped out.
It's probably not that she doesn't want to say anything hurtful (even in a scripted joke), but rather that she doesn't want to be made to look more of a fool than she already does, as far as most people are concerned. Clubs turn her away from their doors, constantly, because they don't want her trash in there.

Personally, I'm glad that Will and Jada wouldn't join that craptacular cult. And I bet more then Will's dead grandmother would slap him if he joined up.

His shows aren't selling tickets. People aren't going to the concerts, even when free tickets are given out. Whoopie... 300 people show up. They are desperate for somewhere warm to hang out, and will put up with that crap rap, to have a place to call home for a few hours. Yeppers... just the homeless are coming.
Why would ANYONE put money out for him to have a show? WHY, WHY, WHY!? He's an idiot, who's "fame" never launched.
