Vienna Girardi to Go Dancing with the Stars, Nauseate Fans on Season Finale

May 22, 2010


We don’t know what’s more surprising, that Dancing with the Stars would actually have one of its contestants’ fiancees come on the show, or that Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi are actually still together months after The Bachelor ended.

Vienna and Jake haven’t had much time to celebrate their engagement, as he joined the Dancing with the Stars cast about 10 minutes after The Bachelor finale.

But at least Tuesday night, Vienna Girardi will get in on the ratings action reunite with her man again, according to Chelsie Hightower, Jake’s partner this season.

“We had our second rehearsal today and surprisingly, Vienna isn’t nervous at all,” says Hightower. “If it were me, I think I’d be vomiting all night, not sleeping.”

“But Vienna is doing really well and she’s so excited.”

Like all of the other season 10 couples, she and Pavelka will take to the floor together and perform one last dance – theirs is the Viennese Waltz – at the finale.

Girardi and Dmitry Chaplin will join them on the floor, “then Dmitry and I will hand Jake and Vienna over to each other,” Hightower says. Someone kill us now.

“It’s a slow, romantic waltz – a simulation of a pre-wedding dance.”

The future Mr. and Mrs. Jake Pavelka have not made any formal wedding arrangements, but do plan to set up residence in L.A. when DWTS ends next week.

“She’s a great girl,” Chelsea says of Vienna, who was said to be completely devastated by Jake’s elimination a few weeks ago. “They are very happy together.”

Will Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi last?

Adam Lambert: On the Set of “If I Had You” Video


Ready to return to the set of Adam Lambert’s “If I Had You?”

Earlier this week, we gave fans a look at the artist’s upcoming music video for that single, via this series of photos from it.

Now, we’ve returned with even more eccentric shots of Adam and his back-up singers/dancers. An insider describes the video as “Willy Wonka meets Thriller meets Interview With The Vampire,” which sounds like the sort of thing Lambert would come up with.

Looks like it, too…

Below, meanwhile, we’ve posted a video of Lambert on set. He’s discussing the theme behind “If I Had You” (i.e. life is worthless without the one you love) and coming across as his typical well-spoken, calm, cool, funny self.

Enjoy!

Tiger Woods: On the Prowl with Elin Look-alike?


Is Tiger Woods already back on the dating scene? That’s the rumor, and it appears that this prowling, swingin’ single has a type: Elin Woods look-alikes.

Well, that’s not entirely true.

During his marriage to Elin, he’s been putting it to any waitress with a pulse. But lately, he’s reportedly been spotted with a blonde, Elin-esque beauty.

The golfer was spotted earlier this week with a blonde beauty on the golf course in his gated community. Is he back in the game off the course as well?

Tiger and Elin Woods have both hired lawyers and have been estranged, especially lately, since his cheating was exposed. They are no longer speaking.

This isn’t likely to help matters: “Tiger was on the golf course the other day, hitting balls,” an eyewitness dished. “He was with a very pretty blonde.”

Double Life

“She looked a lot like [Elin Woods]. She was sitting in the golf cart while he played. They were talking and laughing and obviously having a good time.”

While this is highly suspect due to the bulging disk in his neck, he’s also been seen back in the nightlife scene in Orlando several times in recent weeks.

“Tiger has been out frequently,” another source said. “He particularly likes Embers, a restaurant/bar. He doesn’t want to stay home alone anymore.”

While there was no overt sign of romance between Tiger and his mystery blonde, witnesses say it marked a shift in direction for Tiger’s personal life.

“She sat in the cart laughing and chatting with Tiger for a long time,” the eyewitness said. “They were very comfortable with each other, relaxed.”

The source adds this classic dig: “It didn’t look like the kind of scene you would see if Tiger and Elin were living together and happy, that’s for sure.”

So far, no official movement on the Tiger Woods divorce front. But expect it soon.

Jon Gosselin to the Kids: Meet Ellen Ross!


Things must be getting serious between Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross, his newest play thing girlfriend … or at least they’re reaching the Jon equivalent of serious.

After all, Radar Online reports the reality TV father introduced Ellen to six of his kids Friday. No word if Mady and Cara boycotted by choice or just had other plans.

Ellen Ross and Jon Gosselin were spotted picking up his sextuplets from the school bus in Reading, Pa., and according to reports, the kids weren’t too fazed at all.

Eh, that’s not too surprising. They’ve already read about Jon and Deanna Hummel. And Hailey Glassman, and Stephanie Santoro. And Morgan Christie, and …

Speaking of Hailey, Ellen kinda looks like her, no? Peep it:

Jon Gosselin and Ellen Ross

ELLEN ROSS: So Jon Gosselin’s type … desperate, likely disturbed.

In fact, the six kids were supposedly happy to be meeting daddy’s “new friend” – they were all smiles and laughs and obviously happy to be seeing their father.

Hey, it’s not something you can take for granted with this dude.

Jon has been adjusting to his life as a single dad, showing the kids around his new apartment, looking for a job and even introducing the brood to his new girl.

He even went out of his way to see them on their birthday.

Granted any father should do that, and he wanted credit and sort of threw Kate under the bus afterward, but still. Progress, people. Even baby steps are good.

Sex Tape Sales Watch: Kendra Tops Kim!


Move over, Ray J and Kim Kardashian. You’ve had your graphic moment. Justin Frye and Kendra Wilkinson are the new king and queen of celebrity sex tape sales.

Yup, the Kendra tape we originally doubted was even real is not only legit, but legit XXX box office gold – more than Kim’s popular tape. And it’s not even out yet!

Pre-sales for the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape are the biggest in Vivid Entertainment history, topping Kim, Mindy McCready, Shauna Sand, Kelli McCarty, and so on.

Kim’s not exactly hurting for kash these days, of kourse, so we doubt she kares. But it’s somewhat surprising the Kendra tape has garnered this much interest.

The only real question is …

Who would you rather watch somebody put it to?

Lindsay Lohan Cocaine Pic Sparks Controversy


“What!?? That’s a set up that’s so untrue.” – Lindsay Lohan on the image below

In truth, this is Lindsay Lohan’s reaction to pretty much anything. Point fingers, blame others, lie through her teeth and live in denial. Whatever works!

She’s already accused her dad of ganking her passport, stranding her in Cannes. But when there’s no easy scapegoat around … just scream “set up!”

The troubled star, already causing problems for the L.A. County penal system by failing to show up in court this week, is now in even more hot water.

A photo surfacing on TMZ showing Lindsay partying with a strange white powder in the foreground could potentially mean more probation violations.

If nothing else, it’s another sign Lindsay’s going to die if she’s not careful:

Lindsay Lohan, Cocaine

Lindsay Lohan allegedly does coke with a couple of peeps.

A spokesperson for the L.A. County D.A.’s office says this won’t be brought up in court Monday, when Lindsay has been ordered to appear before the judge.

The spokesperson says there is no way the pic can be used in court because you could never prove what was on the table (despite it obviously being coke).

So she’s in the clear … on this one minor issue.

The warrant for her arrest earlier this week was rescinded after she posted bail, but Lohan still has to account for not complying with her probation terms.

Her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, lambasted TMZ and others, saying “It is difficult for Lindsay to get a fair shake because her every move is chronicled by TMZ and others. This creates an unavoidable frenzy around her case.”

“It subjects her to a level of scrutiny which non-celebrities do not face.”

Maybe so, Shawn, but the train wreck also asks for that scrutiny. Daily.

Lindsay Lohan belongs in
