Kate Gosselin Speaks on Dancing “Breakthrough”

April 13, 2010


Kate Gosselin electrified the Dancing with the Stars crowd last night.

Okay, not really. She sucked and still got the lowest score. But she sucked a lot less than previous weeks, and that’s building up her confidence.

“Dancing is starting to feel natural; that’s scary, right?” Kate told E! last night after her Dancing With the Stars “mini-breakthrough” of a tango.

Does Tony Dovolani agree about the bane of his existence his partner? Believe it or not, yes: “She crossed over to the dancing side,” he said.

“It sounds like the dark side,” she joked. No doubt Jon Gosselin would have a witty retort if he weren’t chasing mediocre skirts somewhere.

It’s not saying much, but last night was Kate’s best effort yet.

“I was totally in the dance,” Kate added. “This was the first week I had fun out there. I was with Tony the entire time. Who had time to be nervous? I was dancing!”

Will the fans keep her around for another week? If they did so the previous two, you’d have to think she stands a good chance this time. She sure hopes so, too.

“I am psyched, we’re going to practice after this,” she said following her interview earlier today. “I’m totally into this and using my time wisely,” she promised.

Who are you rooting for on Dancing with the Stars?

Jesse James: Gay Slur-Using, Cheating, Nazi Jackass


If you thought Jesse James’ reputation couldn’t get any worse, think again. Accusations of gay bashing have surfaced surrounding Sandra Bullock’s cheating husband.

James has been accused of many unfavorable things, thanks to a sordid cheating scandal, a Nazi photo, etc. But here his own words may come back to bite him.

No, not the texts he wrote to Merilee Gerth. These emails are way worse.

An email between Jesse and a former coworker features Jesse making many gay slurs, behavior that has been leveled at him before by coworkers and acquaintances.

In what looks to be a falling out between Jesse and others, he writes: “Now you guys will be able to Suck each others d***s without anyone giving you a hard time!”

Lovely.

Going Up in Smoke

An artist’s rendition of Jesse James’ reputation … and soon career.

Oh, but it continues: “That’s right!… my place is ‘f***ed up’ … and the Two most ‘f***ed up’ things about my place are gone now! … Don’t worry though you 2 f***ots will be fine!” the a$$hat continued. “Maybe Just Maybe?”

“If you suck his d**k real hard he might even put you guys on TV!”

Goodness.

Several sources have suggested that Jesse James has always had a problem with the gay community and has been known for making gay slurs in the workplace.

“He uses the word f***ot all the time,” an insider said.

“It makes people really uncomfortable and it’s very inappropriate, but it flows out of his mouth just as naturally as ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ does with most people.”

Time for Sandra Bullock to call her divorce attorney.

Emmanuelle Chriqui, Kara DioGuardi: Nude in Allure


She came close to showing it all off on the American Idol stage last May, donning a bikini on the season eight finale.

But Kara DioGuardi takes things one step further in the latest issue of Allure. Actually, two steps: the bottom and the top. She appears totally naked in the magazine.

“This shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk and showing people a side of me they never have seen,” the American Idol judge said, looking back on her days of battling an eating disorder:

“Back then I was a size 6 or 8; now I’m more like a size 2. Food is not what I use to anesthetize myself anymore.”

DioGuardi isn’t the only celebrity to bare it all for Allure. Wanna see an Entourage hottie and a Grey’s Anatomy beauty in the buff? Read on.

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson: Rejected!


The Michael Jackson estate is being hit with many creditors claims, some valid, many preposterous. One of the ones fitting squarely into the latter category?

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, a 25-year-old man who says he’s the biological son of the late singer. He’s totally not. But hey, why let that stop you …

To his credit, he’s not asking for money. The only thing Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson sought was a DNA test proving he’s Michael’s flesh and blood.

But to his chagrin, Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the estate, formally rejected a large number of claims on Monday, including the effort from P.M.M.J.J.

More rejections are coming, TMZ reports, so stay tuned.

This kid is cute. Just not Michael Jackson’s.

This puts to rest a long-running dispute over one of Michael’s supposed love children. As for Omer Bhatti, some say he is Michael’s son … or his kids’ father.

Who the frick knows.

In any case, the “official” Prince Michaels – M.J. Jr., 12, and Blanket, 7, were raised by MJ and are now with his mom Katherine, along with his daughter Paris.

Happy Birthday, Good Housekeeping!


The stars came out in New York City last night, as one of the country’s leading publications celebrated a major milestone.

No, not The National Enquirer. Not Star Magazine, either.

HA! You wish, OK! Weekly.

Instead, it was the honorable Good Housekeeping that brought out such names as Brooke Shields, Meryl Streep and Jessica Simpson for its 125th anniversary event. The latter is pictured immediately below, showing off abysmal posture:

Jim Carrey Insists: I’m Totally Sane!


This may be hard to believe, but there was a time when Jim Carrey was known as one of the most popular actors on the planet. Remember Ace Ventura, anyone?

But the funny man hasn’t had a box office success in years. Which was fine when he was seemingly busy and content with Jenny McCarthy.

Ever since that pair broke-up, though, Carrey has unleashed a stream of Tweets that has fans concerned: might the actor have fallen off the deep end? For example, he recently referenced his character in The Truman Show and wrote:

“I have freed Truman at long last! I am grateful for my avatar’s many yrs of dedicated service, but no one has ever won the Tour De France while back peddling… so I killed him.”

Well, okay then. At least Carrey isn’t still placing some blame on Elin Woods for her husband’s infidelity.

Carrey acknowledges that “some folks out there are worried that I stay up too late,” but he insists: “This is no breakdown! It’s a breakthrough! And if you’ll just loosen these straps, I’ll show you the difference!”

Sorry, Jim, but we’re not convinced.

Pamela Anderson Gets Low Scores … From California Tax Board


Pamela Anderson impressed on last night’s Dancing with the Stars.

Unfortunately, the government could give a rat’s a$$ about her score of 47 in the rumba (23 for technical points, 24 for performance). Woman owes back taxes.

The former Baywatch star is in the red more than $493,000 according to an annual list of delinquents with six-digit liens by the California Franchise Tax Board.

Her attorney has yet to comment on the case, but that’s possibly because that’s not the only legal drama surrounding the 42-year-old actress these days.

A Manhattan-based clothing company filed suit against Pam for stealing the name of the animal-friendly, organic fashion collection she launched with Richie Rich.

While recent fashion shows have featured pieces labeled A*Muse, Maggy London International calls it “a disingenuous effort to disguise their infringing activities.”

They trademarked Muse in 2002.

The company is trying to have the duo barred from using the name further and fork over both profits and remaining inventory for “impoundment or destruction.”

In case you’re wondering, the legal battle is being waged over this fashion atrocity. Seriously, we would let her have it if we were Muse … wow is all we can say.

Justin Bieber Takes on Disney, Implies Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers are “Corny,” Manufactured


With a number-one album on the charts, a successful SNL gig behind him, and a movie about his life possibly on the way, might Justin Bieber be developing a major ego?

We pose this question because the singing sensation spoke to MTV News this week and gave himself props for being embraced by the hip-hop community.

“I’m really glad they’ve taken a liking to me,” Justin said. “Having Luda [on my song "Baby"] and having Lil Wayne give me shout me out on UStream… it’s cool.”

Bieber was discovered by Usher’s manager and signed by Def Jam Records. He says he wants to emulate the careers of Usher and Justin Timberlake.

What about other young singers, such as Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers? Bieber started a possible war in the tween world by implying that those artists are nothing more than Disney-manufactured drones. Asked why he’s so popular among various demographics, he replied:

“I think it’s because I didn’t go through the Disney route. I didn’t go corny… I’ve been cool and collected.”

Hear that, Miley, Nick, Kevin and Joe: you’re corny. Would you care to respond?

Jessica Simpson’s perfect man — and new look!

JessicaSimpson0413.jpg

What is Jessica Simpson looking for in a man? Her tastes are pretty simple, but her mom has a few requirements. “A doctor. A businessman. Someone who will take care of me when I’m old. That’s good!” Tina Simpson told In Touch at the Good Housekeeping “Shine On” event in NYC on April 12. But Jessica is less picky. “I’m just looking for somebody that’s normal! That’s it!” she told In Touch, adding that her makeup-free pose on the cover of Marie Claire was intended to prove the same thing about her. “It was important for me to make sure that they absolutely did not retouch,” she said. Of course, that doesn’t mean she can’t have a little fun with her look. Yesterday, she posted a photo on Twitter of a short bob, done by best friend and stylist Ken Pavés. But the star was just testing out Ken’s new wig styles. “She’s like the Hair Club for Men. She’s not just the President, she wears it!” he tells In Touch, adding that one of the wigs was based on his client and pal, Victoria Beckham. And Jessica’s transformation took place on a plane! “We had a ball. We annoyed everyone on the flight ‘cause we laughed,” he says. “Tina was wearing it. I was wearing it. We put it on the flight attendants. People see us and say, ‘Oh, not them again!’”

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson: Engaged!


Charlotte Church is engaged to rugby player Gavin Henson.

The British singer was proposed to the day after they celebrated her 24th birthday in February, according to Britain’s Daily Mail. ‘Twas a secret proposal, indeed!

The UK’s Daily Mail reports that Henson flew her by helicopter from their home in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales to the Nare Hotel in Truro, Cornwall, for lunch.

He then got down on one knee and surprised her … with a two-carat heart-shaped diamond ring! No word on what they ate for lunch, but it was probably great.

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are getting married!

The soon-to-be newlyweds have two children together, Ruby, 2, and 15-month-old, Dexter. They have been together since 2005. Congratulations to both!
