Yesterday, the news was swirling about how Chaz Bono split from his former fiancee Jennifer Elia. But the former Dancing With The Stars castoff isn’t letting the end of his relationship get him down — he’s doing just fine.

Of the split, he said, “Thanks for your concern about our separation. I’m doing fine, and we remain on good terms with nothing but respect and affection for each other.”

He revealed that he was going to tie the knot with Jennifer, but said that they had put things on hold. He previously said, “We’ve been engaged actually for two years and have kind of had to put things on hold a little bit. I would say within a year, definitely. Not to make excuses, but we went through a lot. I transitioned. She went to grad school. Then, you know, we were making the film. And I wrote the book. It was a lot. Now I feel like once this is over, we can sit down and plan a wedding.”

I guess that whole plan is officially out of the window! Who should Chaz date next? Sound off in the comments and let us know!

Dancing With The Stars reject, activist and author Chaz Bono has reportedly gotten engaged to his girlfriend, Jennifer Elia!

According to reports, Chaz presented Jennifer with an engagement ring on her most recent birthday! What a gift!

In a recent interview, he said, “We’ve been engaged for two years and we’ve had to put things on hold.”

So, to cement their relationship status, he gave her a diamond ring during a birthday trip to Seattle, Washington. The happy moment was filmed for an upcoming television show called Being Chaz. She said in response, “Wow, it’s gorgeous – thank you so much. It’s stunning. It’s huge. What he did was romantic. Who would have thought Seattle would be so special?”

Chaz added, “I wanted to pick a special place to give her her birthday present.”

The show will air on OWN tomorrow, November 27, 2011. Will you be watching? Or did you get enough for Chaz Bono on the last season of Dancing With The Stars? I know we did, we thought he acted a bit ungracious getting as far as he did on the show with no dancing talent whatsoever.

Because the National Enquirer didn’t get enough legal threats over their last magazine cover featuring Chaz Bono, they’ve decided to run another story about the activist/author. According to the tabloid, Chaz has collapsed at 271 pounds!

They ran the story on November 2, 2011 that Chaz has four years to live, but his lawyers fired off a letter to the magazine, demanding a retraction and apology.

Now, friends have raced to save him!

Also featured in this issue is another Kardashian divorce! Apparently, Kris and Bruce Jenner’s marriage is falling apart. In addition, they are claiming that Ricki Lake is pregnant at 42!

Oprah Winfrey is now begging Gayle not to leave her. Justin Bieber is also grounded by his mother for spending $160,000 on a car.

Pals are also fearing that Sally Field is suicidal. In addition, Ricky Martin is getting married to his boyfriend in Spain. Also, Demi Moore has been knifed in the back!

Chaz Bono has revealed that he relied on his mother, Cher’s tremendous support during his dancing days on Dancing With The Stars.

He struggled with an injury during the competition, but his mother helped him pull through. In a new interview, he said, “My mom was really into it. When you grow up with Cher as your mother – she’s the performer in the family. My relatives laughed and asked, ‘Do you dance.’ I had tremendous support from her. She got me through it, especially when I hurt my knee. I appreciate everything she does and gives me.”

Chaz went on to reveal that he grew so close to the other competitors on the show that he joked that they would all leave their current partners. He added, “I have become friends with David Arquette and J.R. Martinez and Nancy Grace. We are going to leave our spouses!”

We’re glad that he got through the show with the help of his mother, but we were bummed that he stayed on for so long. The man can’t dance! Sad, but true.

On November 2, 2011, the National Enquirer released the cover of its latest issue, which featured Chaz Bono with the claims that he has four years to live. Apparently that has ruffled some feathers, because his lawyers have fired off a letter to the tabloid demanding a retraction and apology.

The story on Chaz shows opinions from Dr. Patrick Wanis, who says that Chaz’s weight, along with stress and various medications associated with his gender reassignment will increase his risk of dying earlier.

TMZ reports:

But Chaz claims the whole thing is a steaming pile of crap — and his legal team fired off a letter to the Enquirer demanding the print a retraction and issue a public apology ASAP.

In the letter, Chaz’s lawyer calls the story, “blatantly false and defamatory” — adding, “The salacious and inflammatory headline and article were crafted for the malicious purpose of discriminating against our client’s gender and sexual orientation.”

“Further, the statements you attribute to Dr. Patrick Wanis and your depiction of him as a medical doctor specializing in transgender health issues are highly misleading and blatantly false.”

So don’t believe the hype!

The National Enquirer opted to step away from putting Kim Kardashian’s divorce as the main spotlight of their newest issue. Yes, there is a blurb, but it’s not Kardashian Kraziness ala the other tabloids today.

On the cover, Dancing With The Stars reject Chaz Bono takes precedence, with the quote that he has only four years left to live. According to their report, he’s been suffering from liver damage and the dancing competition only made matters worse.

Also in this issue, is Oprah Winfrey’s secret marriage of 30 years and the husband she’s been hiding. They’ve also got a smidgeon of space dedicated to Kim and Kris’ wedding scam, along with a Neo-Nazi marrying into the Swayze family.

Madness! Let’s hope they’re wrong about Chaz Bono’s health being so bad. I would’ve thought that dancing would’ve helped him work off some of the extra weight and that would’ve been a good thing. Who knew?!?

Now that Chaz Bono has been ousted from the dance floor on Dancing With The Stars last week, he’s ready to jump into working — full throttle!

TMZ reports:

Bono’s rep/manager, Howard Bragman, tells TMZ … Chaz took no meetings during “DWTS” — but his team will get together this week to plot out a strategy for the next chapter.

Bragman says they’re looking at several options — including acting, voice-over work, and endorsements — and Chaz also plans to continue booking speaking engagements.

As for whether he’d be into continuing his dancing career, Bragman says Chaz is “open to all reasonable discussions.”

What do you think Chaz should do now that his dancing days are over? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think!

As it turns out, Maksim Chmerkovskiy wasn’t the only one miffed at the judges on Dancing With The Stars last night. Apparently Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer were also offended — but for different reasons.

After performing their Tango, judge Bruno Tonioli had some rather unflattering comments for the author. Bruno said, “It was like watching a cute little penguin try to be a big, menacing bird of prey. It has to be menacing, dark, dangerous, hypnotic…like a panther stalking.”

After the show, Chaz said, “I always go out there and give my best and I feel like I’ve improved week to week and I don’t feel like this week was any different.”

His partner Lacey said, “They called you an animal. They said you have a bad personality. I think it’s fair to say he’s not a favorite.”

Chaz said, “I’ve been called an Ewok, a cute and cuddly bear, now tonight a penguin. It’s disrespectful to me.”

Lacey said, “It’s rude and unnecessary, and as his friend I’m embarrassed. We are both anti-bullying…And having the judge refer to him as animals or dis his personality, it’s unnecessary. It’s rude and it’s going back on everything that people are trying to fix. It’s disappointing that it has to be here and it has to be one of my friends.”

She added, “I cried today because I was so hurt, and I was so embarrassed that they had said that. I’m glad that Maks stood up, because I was about to jump on that table and rip their heads off.”

It’s Broadway Week on Dancing With The Stars!

Dancing fifth is activist and author Chaz Bono and his professional dance partner Lacey Schwimmer doing the Tango.

Chaz’s dancing really seemed uninspired this week. Lacey appears to be leading Chaz around like he’s a robot. We’re not fans.

WATCH:

Bruno Tonioli said that Chaz’s dance is like watching a cute little penguin who is trying to be a menacing bird of prey.

Carrie Ann Inaba said in this dance, it was the most aggressive she has seen him, but she wants to see more confidence in him.

Len Goodman said that the first rule is to get through the routine and you can see all of the work he put into the dance. He also commented that the holds should be tighter and that Chaz did a good job, but the dance didn’t suit his personality.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 7
Len: 6
Bruno: 6

Total: 19/20

Was this your favorite dance of the night? What did you think of Chaz Bono’s performance? Do you think he’ll make it to next week? Sound off in the comments below and let us know your thoughts!

Dancing sixth on 80′s Week of Dancing With The Stars is activist and author Chaz Bono and his professional dance partner, Lacey Schwimmer. They’re doing the Samba to Kool & The Gang’s song, Get Down On It.

They brought in Lacey’s father, Buddy Schwimmer, to show Chaz that bigger men can shake it, too.

It’s a shame that Chaz didn’t pick up any of the tips that Buddy offered, because this dance is heinous and terrible. Ugh, if he gets through again, I might have to stop watching.

WATCH:

Carrie Ann Inaba said it was the most dancing she saw him do during the competition.

Len Goodman called it a gallant effort and he came out and really gave it a go.

Bruno Tonioli said he was giving the wiggle, which is hard to do. He said that J.R. was a tough act to follow, but he did very well.

Scores:

Carrie Ann: 7
Len: 7
Bruno: 7

Total: 21/30

Was that your favorite performance of the evening? Do you want to see Chaz get put through to Broadway Week? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think!

Cher appeared on Monday night’s performance episode of Dancing With The Stars to support her son, Chaz Bono.

She clapped, cried and gave him a standing ovation for his Paso Doble, even though it didn’t merit as much. Cher was a proud mother and you could tell that she was happy to be there.

According to the National Enquirer, there was some commotion behind the scenes that the cameras (and us) weren’t privvy to. On their cover, they’re claiming that Cher “lashed out at DWTS” and there were “vicious insults & nasty slurs”.

Could it be that they’re trying to make the world think that Cher isn’t accepting of her son and his gender switch from woman to man?

Also featured in this issue is Brad Pitt begging Angelina Jolie to eat and their claims that she’s addicted to diet pills. Also in this issue is Amanda Knox’s drug deal, Michael Douglas being marked for death and Paul McCartney’s new bride being linked to the mob.
