Reality Updates: Top Chef Engaged, a VP Dancer, and Idol Gets a Record Deal

Sam Talbot, a Bravo’s “Top Chef” finalist, has announced his engagement. Sam and his Columbian girlfriend Paola Guerro became engaged this past weekend. They met in Brazil on Talbot’s 30th birthday. As of right now, there is no set wedding date. Guerra is a model and t-shirt designer who Talbot says is “amazing” and “stunning.” Sam is not so bad himself, providing eye candy for the ladies in season 2. Sam is currently the executive chef of Surf Lodge in Montauk, NY. That is in the Hamptons for those not in the know. Could there be a presidential tone to … Continue reading →

Who’s Dancing Next and How to Win a Date with Miley Cyrus

WHO’S DANCING NEXT The dance cards are filling up fast. According to the New York Daily News, reality TV star Kim Kardashian is set to shake her ample rear (of which she is quite proud of) on the upcoming season of ABC’s hit series “Dancing with the Stars.” The raven hair socialite and current gal pal of pro football player Reggie Bush is reportedly in final negotiations to join the cast of the dance contest. Other celebrity two-steppers rumored to be hitting the ballroom floor this fall include former ‘N Sync star Lance Bass and model Lily Cole. WIN A … Continue reading →

Paula Abdul Needs to Buy a Clue

Honestly, I strive to think of people in the best light possible (which is not to say that I’m always successful) but when it comes to thinking highly of Paula Abdul the word “challenging” becomes a severe understatement. In a previous blog I mentioned that Abdul secretly dreamed of and then made public her desire to compete on ABC’s smash hit “Dancing with the Stars.” Never mind that she is gainfully employed as a judge on Fox’s “American Idol.” (Though, how she remains so is still a mystery to me.) Well, Abdul can put away her dancing shoes because her … Continue reading →

Stars Who Won’t Be Doing the Tango on TV

Now that ABC’s smash hit “Dancing with the Stars” is over for the season (and the right person walked away with the hideous disco-ball trophy) tongues are wagging regarding who will be included on the next installment of the show, which premieres in September. I have seen a few names being tossed around, but nothing has been signed (or so claims ABC execs). However, there is one celeb you absolutely won’t be seeing on the dance floor come the fall. Despite being asked by show producers several times, football star Terrell Owens says he won’t be waltzing into your living … Continue reading →

Julianne Hough’s New Album Released Today

We know her best as the spunky blonde professional dancer from “Dancing with the Stars.” She’s taken home the title of “champion” twice, first with Olympic champion Apolo Anton Ono and then with Helio Castroneves, fully deserving this honor for her amazing choreography and gutsy moves. However, Julianne Hough’s first love isn’t dancing, it’s singing. She and her family formed a family band when she was just a child—yes, Derek too. Dancing was just a sideline for her while she studied singing, but when the offer to do “Dancing with the Stars” came along, it was too good to pass … Continue reading →

Celeb Updates: Star Sightings, Dinosaur Dung, and Bitter DWTS Star

STAR SIGHTINGS Pictures surfaced this week of a fit looking, divorce filing Star Jones riding a Zipline in Costa Rica. However, while the former “View” co-host was coasting through a sweltering hot tropical jungle back in this country the man who is rumored to be her new love was sweating it out on national TV. NBA player Dwyane Wade was put in front of a firing squad during TNT’s show “Inside the NBA.” Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith put the heat on the Miami Heat guard peppering him with questions regarding his rumored romance with Jones—-a woman nearly 20 years … Continue reading →

Mario Lopez is Single Again

They said it wouldn’t last… and I agreed. Sources close to Mario Lopez and his flexible former “Dancing with the Stars” pro partner Karina Smirnoff confirm that the dark-haired duo have called it quits. The couple first sparked rumors of a romance when they were partnered during the popular dance competition’s third season. Interestingly, the pair never once publicly acknowledged that they were dating despite being photographed canoodling at dozens of celebrity events. Now it appears Smirnoff is waltzing out of Lopez’s life… and his Los Angeles home—-the place she has reportedly been living for more than a year now. … Continue reading →

Paula Abdul Should Quit While She is Ahead

Just when we all thought Paula Abdul’s 15 minutes were up an unknown singing competition came along and asked her to be a judge. Within a year’s time she became affiliated with one of the most popular shows in television history and her 15 minutes turned into an hour. Now the “American Idol” judge is looking to encroach on another hot TV competition—ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” For months now rumors have been flying that Abdul is in the process of making a deal with her bosses at FOX and execs with the mega-popular dancing contest so that she can … Continue reading →

Another “Dancing” Hook Up

A this point I don’t think it is a matter or if, rather it’s when will one of the gyrating pairs on ABC’s smash hit “Dancing with the Stars” take their chemistry on the ballroom floor to new heights in the real world. Looks like we have a winner… I mean… it appears cupid’s arrow has struck sexy actress Shannon Elizabeth and her pro partner Derek Hough. For weeks now former DWTS contestant turned “Access Hollywood” dancing commentator the always spicy Mel B. has been hinting that Elizabeth and Hough have been cha-cha-ing a bit more passionately than their fellow … Continue reading →
