On the latest cover of the National Enquirer, they’re reporting on the weight battles in Hollywood.

On their cover photo, they show Ricki Lake, Oprah Winfrey and Demi Moore all battling issues with their respective weights. Apparently Ricki was “too fat” for her wedding dress??!? And this is after she lost all of that weight on Dancing With The Stars? Girlfriend looks good, if you ask us!

They are also claiming that Oprah is at 280 pounds and of course, Demi appears to be struggling to eat. She’s going through a divorce, nimrod, of course that stress alone is enough to mess with a woman’s eating habits.

On top of all of that, they are also claiming that Brad Pitt is raging at Angelina Jolie because she’s raising Shiloh as a boy. Apparently they didn’t get the memo that Shiloh is still going for that “Montenegro” look.

Also, there’s a “shocking tell-all” involving this season’s winner of DWTS, J.R. Martinez! There were “women, war wounds and WINNING!” Did they struggle to come up with that alliteration?!?? Enquiring minds want to know!!

Has Oprah really been ordered to diet or die? Did Natalie Wood have a sex secret? Will you keep wondering? Or is that enough for you to run out to your local grocery store and pick up this issue?

I guess winning the Mirror Ball Trophy on the latest season of Dancing With The Stars is some serious business — because season thirteen winner J.R. Martinez was just invited to the Pentagon!

The Iraq War Veteran received an invitation from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Friday, who asked the DWTS champ to visit the Pentagon and meet with him in person. Wow!

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the Defense Secretary penned a note of congratulations to J.R. The note read, “Your strength and spirit captivated the nation, and your victory sends a strong message about the strength and resilience of our wounded warriors.”

Reportedly, while he’s in the Washington, D.C. area, he will also address thousands of active and retired troops.

Nice! Congratulations to J.R.!

Last night on the performance episode of Dancing With The Stars, Rob Kardashian, J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake brought it with their dances. Each proved why they were in the top three in the competition. You can view all of the performance videos at this link and read our recap here. Tonight, only one will emerge as the winner of the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy!

Before the show, we conducted a poll to ask fans who should walk away with the show’s prize. Unsurprisingly, 53% said that J.R. should win, while 30% voted that Rob would win and the remaining 17% thought that Ricki would win the competition.

Tonight, the top three will perform their favorite dances from the season. Rob and Cheryl will perform their Foxtrot to Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra. Ricki and Derek will perform their favorite dance which was their Psycho Tango. J.R. and Karina will do their first Jive to Jump, Jive And Wail by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. We’ll be covering all of the performance videos at this handy link, so check them out after the show starts!

It’s a close competition this season and it’s hard to say who will win. So stay tuned, as we’ll be recapping the Grand Finale tonight — Live. Also, performing on tonight’s show is Lady Antebellum!

Can Rob pull it out of his hat and win it? Perhaps. But his sister Kim has said that she’s super proud of her brother. She came out in support of him on last night’s show.

IT’S GO TIME — ARE YOU EXCITED?

Lady Antebellum is kicking off the show with their performance from We Own The Night.

Round Scores:

Ricki & Derek – Psycho Tango – Scores: 30 (1st place)
Rob & Cheryl – Foxtrot – Scores: 26 (3rd place)
J.R. & Karina – Jive – Scores: 28 (2nd place)

FIRST RESULTS:

Ricki and Derek are in third place! That means that Rob and J.R. will be competing in one final dance for the Trophy! Stay tuned, it’s getting good!

J.R. is dancing his Instant Samba first, with Rob going second. They are dancing to Shake Your Bon Bon by Ricky Martin.

As always, they are taking a trip down memory lane with all of the stars and their pro dancers from this season.

Carson Kressley’s Vogue dance was cute, but we’re digging David Arquette’s performance. It’s unfortunate that he was booted off of the competition way before his time. He just tried to run off with the Mirror Ball Trophy….too funny!

J.R. and Karina danced first and it was great! Rob and Cheryl picked right up where they left off and did pretty nicely, as well.

J.R. and Karina: Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30
Rob and Cheryl: Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30

Who won the thirteenth season of Dancing With The Stars???? J.R. MARTINEZ & KARINA SMIRNOFF!

Tonight is the Finals on Dancing With The Stars — and it has all come down to three top contenders for the prize of the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. So who is going to walk away a winner on tomorrow night’s season finale?

It’s down to Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez — three fine dancers. According to DWTS cast-off Maksim Chmerkovskiy, he thinks that J.R. will take the top spot on the dancing competition.

When asked about who should win, he said, “Everyone deserves it.”

But afterward, he offered a more detailed explanation. He said, “I think J.R. deserves it. It is his right to walk into Dancing With The Stars and walk away with the trophy. But on top of all of that, he is a great dancer. If he doesn’t win there is something fundamentally wrong with America.”

And there you have it! Do you agree with Maks’ opinion on the winner? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts! If J.R. doesn’t deserve it, then who do you think does? Let us know!

DWTS ELIMINATION RESULTS HERE

On last night’s Halloween episode of Dancing With The Stars, J.R. Martinez was not the top of the heap when it came down to the scores. Usually, he pulls an awesome performance, but last night, he scored a total of 25 points out of a possible 30, for his Tango.

After last night’s performance, he said, “We’re all going to have a bad week. If America pulls us through, I’m going to bust my ass this coming week and I’m going to come back strong.”

He went on to say, “It’s week seven. I think every season when you get to this timeframe, you see everyone’s injuries and you start to see other things, but [these are the weeks] where champions are made, so let’s see who steps up and see who is able to enter the mental and physical pain and make it through.”

He added that he’s not going to get discouraged by the criticism from the judges. He said, “It did kind of hurt in a way because of how much work you put in. But, at the same time, it motivates me.”

It’s Halloween night on Dancing With The Stars!

Dancing second is Iraq War veteran J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, doing the Tango to the theme from Ghostbusters. What a really cute Tango! Loved it! The crowd is going nuts!

Great dance!

Bruno Tonioli said it was bewitched and conquered, but he lost his place a couple of times…but the dance is difficult.

Carrie Ann Inaba said they got out of sync with each other, but it was a well done performance.

Len Goodman said it was sub-standard from what he expects from J.R. and that he has set such a high standard for himself.

J.R. really pulled this number off, as usual! We loved the dance, as it was fun and eloquently executed. The two of them look like a completely professional dancing couple. It was by far, the best dance of the entire night. Way to save the best for last!

WATCH:

Len Goodman said that J.R. really came up a notch and was really close to beating Helio, which he never thought he would see.

Bruno Tonioli said, “It’s a hit!”

J.R. Martinez took to the dance floor with his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, to do the Samba, fourth. They danced to Gloria Estefan’s Conga. They did a great job and looked like they had a blast!

I really like J.R. and I think he’s going to go far in the competition. Don’t you?

Len Goodman said, “Way to go Jose!” He said he didn’t think he would come out and perform anything like that.

Bruno Tonioli said, “Talk about hip action!” He said he had so much fire down below that it was like a volcano.

Carrie Ann Inaba said, “Muy caliente” and she wants more of that because it was amazing.

J.R. gave such an amazing performance, it was very touching and emotional. He dedicated the dance to the men and women who don’t make it home. Sad!

J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, took the stage last on last night’s episode of Dancing With The Stars and performed their Jive.

From our recap last night:

This is the best dance of the night. It’s cute and they’re in step with each other all of the way. They’re having a blast, too. Well done. Bruno Tonioli said he was charismatic, athletic and had a feel for the music. Carrie Ann Inaba said it was great, but there was a lift, so she has to take off a point.

Check out the video:

Len Goodman said it was a great dance, but it wasn’t a Jive.
