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?

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!

Ricki Lake will be back on Daytime television in a new chat show sometime next year. After her great success on Dancing With The Stars, they’ve decided to give her a show. She said to her fans, “Many of you grew up with me. I hope you’ll stay in touch with me. We’ll learn about each other, and I’m so looking forward to getting back on the air with a show that you guys are needing to see.” Sounds kinda like Oprah to me.

People look up to her as a role model. She says, “I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being. I have definitely grown as a person since I put down the mic in 2005, and I couldn’t be happier to share and continue the journey with both my existing fans and an entirely new generation of women.’

She is preparing for the Dancing With The Stars finals this week. She is now the most favorite to win. But, the competition is harsh and she can’t let her guard down.

Will you watch???
