Telenovela star William Levy and his professional dance partner Cheryl Burke have topped the leaderboard on last night’s performance episode of “Dancing With The Stars”. In the show’s eighth week, fans saw the top six finalists competing in a ballroom routine as well as a trio dance performance.

William and Cheryl first performed their Foxtrot to close out the show’s first round. William showed that he has really improved over this season of the show. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba commented, “Meow, meow, meow!” She also said that the dance was a “hot and sexy Pink Panther”, calling his movements “exquisite” and “fun to watch”.

Head judge Len Goodman said that there was care in his technique and flair in his movements. Judge Bruno Tonioli said that William is a “heartbreaker” and that he “couldn’t be more debonaire and suave if he tried”. For the first dance, they were awarded 30 points of a possible 30, marking the second time a star has received a perfect score this season.

To close out the show, William and Cheryl were joined by Tony Dovolani for their Paso Doble in a trio performance. Carrie Ann commented that the lines were incredible and that William learned something from Tony this week. Len said that he salutes them and that they did a fabulous job. Bruno added that the guys used Cheryl like a cape and added that they “lost sync” during the dance. For their efforts, they received 27 points out of 30.

Who are you rooting for on tonight’s show? It’s a double elimination tonight, so it’s anyone’s game. If we had to fathom a guess, we would say that Melissa Gilbert and Roshon Fegan would be in jeopardy. They’ve both improved throughout the show, but they may not have the same fan base as the other contestants. After tonight, we’ll have our top four couples heading into the Semi-Finals! Stay tuned!

On ABC tonight at 8PM EST is an all new performance episode of “Dancing With The Stars”. On last week’s episode of the show, we said goodbye to Jaleel White and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson. So it’s anyone’s game as to who is going to win the competition. In case you’ve missed last week’s elimination, you can read our full, detailed live recap here.

Tonight, the stars and their pro counterparts will be dancing two dances, one with a trio partner! Without further ado, here is what we know so far.

Donald and Peta are up first doing the Tango, followed by Roshon and Chelsie doing the Foxtrot. Afterward, Maria and Derek will take the stage to do their Waltz, followed by Katherine and Mark performing the Viennese Waltz. Melissa and Maks are up next doing the Foxtrot. Closing out the first round will be William and Cheryl performing the Foxtrot.

For round two, Donald and Peta will be doing the Jive with Karina. Secondly, Roshon and Chelsie will follow with their Paso Doble with Sasha. Third on the dance floor are Maria and Derek doing their Samba (possibly with Henry.) They will be followed by Katherine and Mark, performing their Cha Cha with Tristan (See also: Flawless Irish Prince). Melissa and Maks will take the stage to do their Samba with Maks’ brother Val. In the pimp spot are William and Cheryl doing their Paso Doble (possibly with Tony).

Stay tuned for our live recap of the show tonight as it airs!

DANCING WITH THE STARS WEEK 8 RECAP HERE!

George Lindsey, mostly known for his portrayal of Goober Pule On “The Andy Griffith Show” has passed away on Sunday. He was 83-years-old. He passed away at 12:05 AM on Sunday after a long hospitalization.

Andy Griffith said in a statement, “George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago. We would talk about our health, how much we missed our friends who passed before us and usually about something funny. I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, ‘I love you.’ That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. ‘I love you.’”

After Andy left “The Andy Griffith Show”, the network renamed the show “Mayberry R.F.D.” in which George still played Goober. After the show ended in 1971, George took Goober to “Hee Haw” and portrayed the character from 1972 to 1992.

His accomplishments both professional and charitable, will be missed. Rest in peace, Goober.

After much speculation online as to who will be taking on the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in E.L. James’ book “Fifty Shades Of Grey”, I finally finished the book. So, I will give you my opinion about the entire book as a whole. I couldn’t resist the erotic nature of the book, so we picked it up. Then, we put it back down numerous times. It was actually a struggle to get through the entire book. Why? I’ll tell you…

The book was written by a British woman about characters in the U.S. The only problem? The terms used to refer to every day items weren’t Americanized. An example would be how the characters take a “holiday” as opposed to a “vacation”. Another example would be Ana grabbing her “satchel” as opposed to her “bag” or “purse”.

Also of some annoyance were the crutch phrases that were used repetitively in the novel. Her “inner goddess” and “subconscious” were always on hand, being personified like squeamish girls or ladies dancing. The first time Ana referred to them, I thought, ‘Oh how cute.’ When it got to the fiftieth mention of said fictitious creatures, I was cringing and putting the book down.

Lastly, I felt as if the book was very poorly written and in desperate need of editing. There were countless spelling and grammatical errors throughout the book. It almost lends itself to the notion that the book was put on a rush release so that its author could rake in the profits from the movie rights.

Have you read the book? If so, what were your thoughts on this “mommy porn”? Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t say that I would see this movie. Especially if Ian Somerhalder, Alexander Skarsgard or Joe Manganiello get the lead role of Christian. Will you?

Kim Kardashian’s attorney Laura Wasser is blaming the reality stars estranged husband, NBA player Kris Humphries for delaying their high profile divorce. Is it really his fault that their divorce is taking much longer than their marriage lasted?

Laura said that she believes that Kris’ “personal feelings and maybe some media drive is keeping the case alive”. So basically she is saying that Kris is just in search of publicity as his motive in keeping their divorce going. She went on to reveal that Kim and Kris are eligible for divorce “since it has been more than six months since Kardashian filed her petition.”

Laura added, “Certainly, they’ve been separated longer than they’ve been married.”

He is in the process of seeking an annulment, thus voiding their prenuptial agreement. He wants to prove that her intention for marrying him in the first place was in order to boost the ratings for her reality show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

Spies close to Kim are saying the same thing about how Kris is holding up the divorce. An insider said, “He’s doing anything he can to get her attention. She would grant a divorce in a second. But he won’t sign the papers. He won’t let go.”

Another source close to Kim said, “He’s doing this to humiliate her, plain and simple. Kris wants to hurt her.”

Isn’t it crazy how we’re not able to hear anything that is legitimately coming from Kris’ side of the story? He’s unable to speak publicly about the divorce case due to the confidentiality agreement that is associated with his prenup with Kim. Do you want to hear what Kris has to say?

Former Disney star Nick Jonas is denying reports that he is dating his “Smash” co-star Megan Hilty. Rumors were started when Nick played a romantic interest for Megan’s character in a guest appearance on the show. So are they dating for real? No!

Reportedly, the duo were seen enjoying dinner together in New York in April, but Nick says that he is still a bachelor and is not romancing the TV actress. In a new interview with E-Online, he revealed, “We are just friends. And I’m enjoying being a single man here in New York, because my work is my priority these days.”

Besides that, he only ended his ten-month relationship with Delta Goodrem back in February, so he might not have had a long enough time to recuperate following the breakup. Did you think they would make a good couple?

Bill and Giuliana Rancic are featured on the cover of the May 14th issue of “Us Weekly” magazine. The tabloid has an interview with the happy couple who speak on the topic of finally having a baby after learning that Giuliana had cancer.

The magazine dives into the couple’s four year struggle to have a child together. Giuliana has gone through two unsuccessful IVF procedures, a miscarriage and a battle with cancer that resulted in a double mastectomy. On April 23rd, the duo announced on “The Today Show” that they were expecting a baby together via a gestational carrier. They are expecting their new addition this summer.

Also featured in this issue are Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty putting their former “90210″ feud behind them. In addition the magazine covers Lauren Conrad’s new love and Khloe Kardashian choosing her family over fame.

Lindsay Lohan and celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson dated back in 2009, but broke things off after two years together. Now, there are rumors popping up that the duo have rekindled their flame.

Shortly after their 2009 breakup, Lindsay said, “I never really thought about women before. It kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me. She’s the only woman I’ve been attracted to. We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don’t know. We’re still in touch. She has always been one of my best friends.”

Now, it appears that they have reconciled. After spending time together earlier this week at Le Baron in New York, rumors have circulated that they’re back on. A source revealed, “Lindsay and Sam were whispering and laughing, and they left the club holding hands. They didn’t care who saw them, and they definitely seem to be back on. It was just like the old days – they couldn’t get enough of each other!”

Attention “Twilight” fans – your idol Robert Pattinson is set to move away from his role as Edward Cullen in a huge way. According to the latest Hollywood gossip, Pattinson is signing up for a new role in the movie “Mission: Blacklist”.

The movie is about the search for and capture of Saddam Hussein. Pattinson is said to be starring as interrogator Eric Maddox, the man who ran the investigation to locate the former Iraqi dictator. The movie will go to Cannes this year and is based on Maddox’s book “Mission: Blacklist #1″.

This year, Pattinson is starring in “Bel Ami”, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two” and “Cosmopolis”.

Will you see one of Robert Pattinson’s movies this year? Are you a fan of the “Twilight” actor? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts!

According to the latest gossip, Lady Gaga has split from her boyfriend, “Vampire Diaries” actor Taylor Kinney.

The duo began dating after meeting on the set for her video for “You And I” last year. Now, we’ve learned that the singer is taking a breaking from Kinney because she doesn’t feel she has time for a relationship during her “Born This Way Ball” tour.

A source has revealed, “They are now on a break. She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can’t have a relationship at the same time. There’s just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming.”

Pals say that the relationship was doomed to fail. The insider said, “Taylor was all about himself, a typical actor, and didn’t completely get Gaga. She loved that she got this guy who everyone thought was hot! But it was never going to last. He was never that attentive to her.”

“Family Matters” stars Jaleel White and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson have become the latest couple to be eliminated from “Dancing With The Stars“. White isn’t mad about his exit from the hit dancing competition, in fact, he doesn’t have any regrets about taking part in the show.

After the elimination, he said that the biggest thing he is taking away from the experience is “Friendships!” He went on to say, “Believe me, when I go to Miami I’m calling William Levy!”

He also talked about working with Johnson, saying, “If anything, I really respected her work ethic, so that’s why I enjoyed having my daughter around her. I always want my daughter to see me work and it’s not all fame and games. It’s work. We put it in.”

White will next take on his new game show, “Total Blackout”, of which he says, “I’m really happy people are seeing me in a different light. I’ve been stepping out my comfort zone and I’m going to keep on doing it.”

HBO’s hit vampire show “True Blood” has unveiled its official poster for the its fifth season. As you can see from the above photo, it’s a poster showing a vampire crying tears of blood.

The wait is almost over, Truebies! In the latest promo video for the show, Eric and Pam are fighting about the release of Russell Edgington. Does he really think she had anything to do with that? Let’s hope not!

Are you dying to see the show this summer? #WaitingSucks doesn’t it?

Since the announcement that the movie rights to E.L. James’ book “Fifty Shades Of Grey” has been picked up, there have numerous rumors circulating across the internet about who should take the lead roles. Several actors have already spoken about taking the lead role of Christian Grey in the movie adaptation. “Vampire Diaries” actor Ian Somerhalder has expressed an interest in the role, along with Chris Pine and “True Blood” actor Joe Manganiello.

Now, another star is stepping forward to offer himself up for the role of the uber successful billionaire — Alexander Skarsgard. There is no question that he can pull off the hot and suave behavior as someone who is too rich and handsome for his own good. He plays Eric Northman on “True Blood” very nicely, but can it translate to “Fifty Shades”?

Skarsgard joked after hearing all of the saucy book’s details, “I was born to play that part!” Was he? He said, “Where do I sign? He’s got a sex chamber? My character has that on True Blood. He’s got this little dungeon.”

For all of the rumors that we’ve heard, who do you think should play Christian Grey?

THE VOICE RECAP SEMI-FINALS ELIMINATION HERE!

Is Kelly Osbourne finally trying to bury the hatchet with The Voice judge Christina Aguilera? It would appear so after commenting on three good things she could find about the singer. Interesting. This is a feud that we thought would totally last forever. Perhaps Kelly is trying to take the high road here?

No mistaking here, but Kelly and Christina have been involved in a bitter feud ever since Christina referred to her as “fat”. That caused Kelly to go off on Xtina when speaking with Joan Rivers on Fashion Police.

When Joan spoke about Christina, Kelly said, “Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don’t know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house!”

She went on to say, “She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You’re fat too!”

In a later episode of the E! show, she said, “She called me fat for years. I was never that fat.”

During Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, Andy Cohen asked Kelly to speak about Christina, but in a good way. He said, “You and my girl Christina Aguilera have been in something of a feud — say three nice things about Christina Aguilera.”

Impossible? Not so fast! Kelly said in response, “I think she’s looking way better right now, she’s got a great voice and she’s got a beautiful son.”

Feud officially over?

A former bodyguard for the late Michael Jackson, Matt Fiddes, claimed that he is the father of Michael’s youngest son, Blanket. Now, in a new interview, he is revealing that Michael had a bit of a fling with Whitney Houston — and he dreamed of marrying her!

He said, “Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple. But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her.”

He revealed that their fling/relationship only lasted for two weeks. A decade later, Michael and Whitney were reunited at a concert to celebrate his accomplishments in music. Matt said, “They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life. The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces.”

Ringer actress Sarah Michelle Gellar is expecting her second child with husband Freddie Prinze, Jr.

The news of their second addition has been confirmed with a source close to the couple saying, “She and Freddie are thrilled.”

The source went on to say, “They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply. She is such a fantastic mom; it is just great news.”

The happy couple already have a two-year-old daughter named Charlotte Grace, who was born in 2009. The duo have been married since 2002 and commented that they are happy to have waited so long to have children. Sarah Michelle said, “You need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child. Every day I look at her and I am in awe.”

She previously said, “The minute you have a baby, everyone asks, ‘When are you going to have another one?’”

Now they don’t have to field that question any longer. Congratulations to them on their new addition!

Rumors were making the rounds that teen singer Justin Bieber was already gearing up for a proposal to his girlfriend Selena Gomez. Not so fast, says the Biebz. He loves Selena, but he’s in no big rush to walk down the aisle with anyone just yet.

Yes, they have been dating for over a year now, but they aren’t hearing wedding bells yet. In a new interview with French newspaper Le Parisien, Justin revealed, “I’m too young. One day, I will get engaged, when I will have found the right person in five or ten years.”

Quick not to start speculation that Selena isn’t “the one”, he added, “It doesn’t mean that Selena is not the right person though, she is going to kill me if I say that!”

They definitely make a cute couple together, but there are no current plans for an engagement celebration. That doesn’t mean that it won’t happen in the future, though.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES RECAP: ‘DO NOT GO GENTLE’ HERE!

Dancing With The Stars never seems to disappoint when it comes to the ballroom drama. Whether it’s a wardrobe malfunction, a feud between the pro and their celebrity partner or a quibble with the judge’s scoring – you can count on the show to bring the controversy. Let’s be honest — isn’t that why we all watch?

Now, the ABC network is said to be considering an all star season of the hit dancing competition. Would you watch?

Former Dancing contestant and host of Extra Mario Lopez spilled the beans about the possibility of an all star version of the show. Mario was chatting with Kelly Ripa about this week’s elimination of legendary singer Gladys Knight and her pro dance partner Tristan MacManus, when he offered, “I thought she was doing amazing.”

Then, he said, “You know what Kelly? They’re doing a Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars this next season. They called me to do it.”

ABC has yet to make anything official as far as a season dedicated to the show’s stars, but Brooke Burke-Charvet is down for it if it becomes a reality. She said, “I haven’t danced ballroom since I left…I would love to. And being on the show, it just makes me want to dance again.”

Reality television star Khloe Kardashian says that it’s getting harder and harder to brush off all of the criticism about her weight and that it stings when hearing people call her fat.

She has had to endure a lot of weight criticism in being compared to sisters Kourtney and Kim, but she revealed that this sort of thing has been happening her entire life. She said, “People have called me fat and different my whole life. It is something that I have to brush off. Even though it stings, I can’t think about what every person has to say and take it personally.”

She said in a recent interview, “Lamar makes me feel like I am the most beautiful woman in the world and that is all that matters to me.”

AshleyMadison.com, the notorious cheating website, has placed a bounty on Tim Tebow’s virginity.

The website is offering a whopping sum of one million dollars to any woman who can probe that she has had sex with Tebow. Since rising to fame, Tebow has claimed that he is a virgin and insists on waiting until his wedding night to consummate any relationship.

AshleyMadison boss Noel Biderman said, “Sports and sex go hand in hand. If Mr. Tebow is indeed abstaining from adult relationships, I would encourage him to find a nice lady or two and enjoy his youth and fame as much as possible.”

Biderman went on to say, “I guarantee that no man of Tebow’s stature could survive a season in New York without succumbing to the temptations of the city.”

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has signed a new contract for two more years serving as the host of the singing competition. He co-hosted the show with Brian Dunkleman when it first aired in 2002, but has solely presented the show since.

The Hollywood Reporter states that Seacrest will earn a total of $15 million annually for re-upping his contract with Fox. The show is currently in its eleventh season and has seen stiff declines in ratings, but Seacrest has been a long-running staple on the show, alongside judge Randy Jackson.

Fox executives have dubbed Seacrest as “the glue” that keeps American Idol together. As such, all of the other positions besides his and Jackson’s have been changed up throughout the show’s run. One insider revealed, “The goal has always been to keep him.”

Seacrest said in a statement, “For the last eleven seasons, I’ve had the privilege to be a part of one of television’s most iconic shows. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m excited for my journey with American Idol to continue. The legions of fans, amazingly talented contestants, judges, and producers, along with the hard working ‘Idol’ crew, impress me every time we go on air and make hosting the show a dream job.”
