Dancing With The Stars: American Idol Pia Toscano best singer on DWTS?

Dancing With The Stars!

Pia Toscano from American Idol the best guest singer ever?

[Apr. 26]

I will stand by you. That’s the song singer Pia Toscano knocked out of the ballpark during her live guest appearance on DWTS Tuesday April 26th, 2011. Tom asked the big question, “How the hell did you get voted off?” The new celebrity singer was ousted from American Idol in a freak vote, astonishing judges and fans. Proving her meddle on her live song, the gorgeous girl proved she already is a star celeb of note whose career people will want to follow from now on. Was her song the best on the ABC dance competition? Let’s put it this way… while the other celebrity guests singing were New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys — who were great individually and combined into the boy power band NKOTBSB — she truly was the one who rocked the house.

Pia Toscano is rumored to be dating professional dancer Mark Ballas, the outstanding choreographer who will sure take his dance partner Disney starlet Chelsea Kane to the finals. He has finally come into his own during the 2011 season as his best friend Derek Hough elected to sit this season out. The two are always vying for top spots, but Derek — the golden boy with a big smile and pretty blonde hair — has always managed to get the better celebrity dance partner. That is, up until now.

Chelsea Kane is as lovable as a golden girl as Derek was fun to watch, and she meets and exceeds every dance move challenge sweetie Mark Ballas dreams up. Fans are a bit disappointed to hear that the celebrity teen is not dating young Mark; they are happy to see Mark is dating the lovely brunette Pia Toscano on the other hand.

On the episode where wrestler Chris Jherico got voted off, while surprise dancer Kendra Wilkinson stayed on thanks to her risqué Rumba April 25th, the star of the night was Pia Toscano.

Celebrity Kids: Youngest Kardashian sisters look like star celebs twins?

Youngest Kardashian sisters look like star celebs twins?

[Apr. 26]

Do all the Kardashian sisters look the same? You betcha we say in our best Sarah Palin – Tina Fey impersonation voice! And the word on the street for that in Hollywood is HOT!

Last week, the two littlest Kardashian sisters showed up at the El Capitan looking like twins for the premiere of Prom by Disney pictures, reports PopEater. Kendall and Kylie (who would have thought their names would start with K?) were sporting slightly different cuts of dress, but with similar styles and in the same shade of blue. Of course, both sport the same long, dark locks that are practically synonymous with being a Kardashian.

So with all this Kardashian sisters goodness floating around carpets and red cameras, can we finally expect that Kim Kardashian and company will put the whole family together in a Kardashian film? It sounds like a great idea for the girls, but big sister Kim Kardashian says there’s nothing in the works.

Celebrity Dating: New career for LiLo dad Michael Lohan as Gigolo?

Pity date, anyone?

Michael Lohan selling himself like a Gigolo, hoping some poor lucky man or woman will buy him as a date so he can donate a portion of his man-whore wages to rehab charities…

[Apr. 22]

As if Michael Lohan hadn’t embarrassed Disney princess daughter Lindsay Lohan of The Parent Trap by going on Celebrity Rehab earlier this year, the father who also has struggled with addiction is now putting himself on the auction block for dating website WhatsYourPrice.com, which solicits dates to members who are willing to pay, according to RadarOnline.

Michael Lohan reportedly has asked for $10,000 to go out on a date. He says he will require airfare if the date is out of state, and he insists on first class travel and at least a four-star hotel. You might think this is just a ploy for more attention, although one could argue it’s not the kind of positive attention the embattled father needs right now, but he says otherwise.

Michael Lohan told RadarOnline:

“I’m willing to do this in order to donate the money to a rehab and recovery program or programs,” Lohan told RadarOnline.

In addition to appearing on Celebrity Rehab, Michael Lohan was recently in the news late last month when authorities arrested him on charges of domestic violence against a cohabitant, stemming from a woman’s complaint in an apartment near West Hollywood, People reported. Police say the troubled actor did not appear to be intoxicated and did cooperate. The victim was not identified and refused medical treatment.

[Clearly the kind of guy you want to fly out to service you first class.]

It seems odd that Michael Lohan would be willing to sell himself for a date, given his recent troubles with women and his celebrity status. Also, given the fact that he’s been open about addiction and his daughter, Lindsay Lohan, is still facing legal troubles of her own following a stint in rehab, one would think he’s not the ideal date candidate. But who knows? Some women may disagree.

Not exactly the green celebrity type, maybe Michael Lohan hopes to mend his relationship with the charitable green celebrity Lindsay Lohan by doing something charitable in the name of rehab. Perhaps that was his intention by appearing on Celebrity Rehab. Let’s just hope he doesn’t do anything to sink Lindsay’s role in the new film Gotti: Three Generations with John Travolta.

Scratch that. Word on the street is she already lost the lead role playing John Gotti’s daughter Victoria Gotti, but will instead play a lesser role of a mobster wife.

Glenn Beck leaving FOX News to compete with Jon Stewart and Comedy Central?

Now THAT is funny!

Glenn Beck leaving FOX News to compete with Comedy Central?

[Apr. 21]

Glenn Beck says he’s not going to hold back against Jon Stewart of The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, both comedians and commentators for the Comedy Central cable television network, once The Glenn Beck Show is discontinued by FOX later this year. Both Stewart and Colbert have repeatedly lampooned Glenn Beck for some of his outrageous commentary, including impersonating Beck’s end-of-the-world fatalism.

“I am going to make sure that Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart do not occupy the space of comedy alone,” Glenn Beck said, according to Death and Taxes magazine.

News commentator Glenn Beck has said he’ll be leaving his show later this year, but that he has no animosity toward FOX News. He has said he’s looking for opportunities to change media and says he will not be doing it in New York, even though his media company, Mercury Radio Arts, is set up in New York with no plans to move, according to Business Insider.

But can Glenn Beck even begin to make it in comedy? Some say maybe. A report from Time magazine says writer Joel Stein was tapped to help write material for Beck for a Common Sense Comedy Tour in 2009. Stein wasn’t exactly favorable to the FOX News personality, but he wasn’t completely terrible about it either. He noted Beck had a couple of cute jokes of his own, but said, “It turns out that coming up with jokes for members of a reactionary, religious, libertarian audience is not easy.”

Did dancer Mark Ballas get American Idol singer Pia Toscano on DWTS?

Hollywood Gossip!

Did Mark Ballas secretly help ex American Idol contestant Pia Toscano get a gig singing on DWTS?

[Apr. 20]

Dancer Mark Ballas and Disney princess Chelsea Kane are keeping up with the rankings on Dancing with the Stars. Sources close to the production crew on DWTS staff are wondering if Ballas pulled some strings to to get the American Idol favorite onto Dancing with the Stars. After Pia introduced herself to the dance pro by way of a mutual acquaintance of wrestling star Chris Jericho, who also is a competitor on DWTS. Ballas says, no, though. Even thought judge favorite Pia Toscano was voted off of American Idol, she is still a hot commodity in Hollywood social circles as a new voice and pretty face, and the hot male celebrity dance pro took note. Apparently, that Pia Toscano will be performing next week on Dancing with the Stars while Ballas dances with Karina Smirnoff on the April 26 results episode thanks to a romantic spark between Pia and Mark. But he denies being anything more than just friends and claims he has zero influence with the producers decisions who to bring on the show as musical guests.

Ummm… yeah. Sure he doesn’t have any pull… and of course they are just friends… and no WAY the DWTS producers would ever think of capitalizing on some free press if one of their dance pros just happens to hook up on his down time with the hottest female contestant ever voted off American Idol.

Lindsay Lohan lost Victoria Gotti role bid, but will play Gotti Jr wife?

Lindsay Lohan News!

Lindsay Lohan lost Victoria Gotti role bid, but will play Gotti Jr wife?

[Apr. 20]

Troubled Disney princess and actress Lindsay Lohan is out of the running to play Victoria Gotti alongside John Travolta in his new film Gotti: Three Generations, according to a representative for Fiore Films, reports Access Hollywood. This would have been the first film role for Lohan since she was in rehab early this year. The star supposedly was hand-picked by Victoria Gotti herself, with whom the Lohan family is friends.

Just last week, Lohan was discussing her proposed role in the film. Access Hollywood reports:

“I’ve been speaking to some of the producers… and we’re discussing me possibly having a role in the film, which is very exciting,” Lindsay told a crew at the press conference for the project last week.

“I think it’s an amazing story in the things that the Gottis have gone through over the years and just everything that comes with that family. I think is an incredible story to tell,” she added.

But the representative for Fiore Films confirmed that the green celebrity actress was turned down: “Discussions have been broken between Fiore Films and Lindsay Lohan playing Victoria Gotti,” the rep said.

Instead, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Lohan has been tapped to play the wife of Junior Gotti in the film. She said it would be a “great honor” to work with superstars John Travolta, who plays John Gotti, Sr., and Joe Pesci, who plays Angelo Ruggiero, one of Gotti’s deputies.
