Gilles Rocks The Argentine Tango on DWTS

Gilles Marini is making partner Cheryl Burkes one happy lady as the Dancing With The Stars Dancer can finally see that elusive trophy getting closer and closer.

A sizzling hot Argentine Tango performed by Burke and Marini Monday night brought the audience to their feet (and kept them standing for a bit), left Carrie Ann Inaba hot and bothered, and Bruno almost delerious.

When cool and calm returned to the dance floor, all three judges gave out resounding 10's to the French actor and hie professional coach. Seriously though, the judges got it right---last night's Tango by Burke and Marini made it almost impossible to tell who was the pro and who was the student. Awesome performance--no doubt about it.

As for the other competitors, while some managed high scores themselves, while others found themselves in their customary low spots, none probably felt as close to the coveted DWTS trophy as did Gilles and Cheryl.

Definitely showing fantastic improvement each week, along with his boyish charm and class, was cowboy Ty Murray. How can you not love this guy? No problems here if Murray somehow lassos that trophy at the end!

And undeniably hot as well were Lil Kim and Derek. Lil Kim stole the Tango away fromDerek with legs that were unbelievably poised in kicks and lifts. Little doubt they will continue on to the final stretch.

"Bachelor" sweetheart, Melissa Rycroft and partner Tony did an ambitious Lindy Hop which brought judge Carrie Ann's high approval and high fives. Somehow though, the rose colored lenses through which we have watched Melissa are now a bit cloudy. Hard to say just why, but just not as excited about that dancing duo as we were in the beginning. Hmm.

And cute gymnast Shawn Johnson actually fell behind to points last night. Lots of gymnastic jumps and landings filled her Lindy Hop routine, but not enough dancing was there. Didn't leave a resounding impression with the judges or here.

And who fared not so well---

Julianne Hough and real life boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, did not bring any "wow" factor to the judges nor to us. Do not expect to see them in the finals.

David Allen Grier and Larence Taylor admitedly did work hard and performed not bad. But just not well enough to stand out. So-So just won't last too long as the competition nears the finals.

And as always, the low scorers of the night-- Steve-O, Holly Madison, and Steve Wozinak. Truth is one of these competitirs should go tonight. But actually two competitors will be leaving as it is a double elimination. And the two SHOULD come from this group---But Will It??

Our guess--

Holly and Steve-O. But who knows.

Last Night's scoring results:

David & Kym: 22 out of 30 for their Lindy hop
Lil’ Kim & Derek: 27 out of 30 for their Argentine tango
Chuck & Julianne: 22 out of 30 for their Lindy hop
Lawrence & Edyta: 19 out of 30 for their Argentine tango
Ty & Chelsea: 25 out of 30 for their Lindy hop
Steve & Karina: 12 out of 30 for their Argentine tango
Melissa & Tony: 29 out of 30 for their Lindy hop
Holly & Dmitry: 16 out of 30 for their Argentine tango
Steve-O & Lacey: 15 out of 30 for their Lindy hop
Gilles & Cheryl: 30 out of 30 for their Argentine tango
Shawn & Mark: 25 out of 30 for their Lindy hop

Real Housewives Shocker... Luann Divorcing


Woa--- The Real Housewives Countess, Luann, is getting divorced. Her husband ,The Count de Lesseps has found a new Countess it seems. And Luann, who claims she will "always be The Countess" is taking the news with dignity and grace.

Viewers of the Bravo reality based show, Real Housewives, have already been accustomed to not seeing much of Luann's husband, the Count. Usually we are told he is in Europe on business, where he actually lives most of the year, while Luann and the couple's two children live in the States. The family, we have been told, meet for vacations and holidays in Europe.

On a recent episode, a subtle hint was thrown out to viewers that all may not be well in Countess-Land after all. The Count was late, or actually a "No-Show" for his daughter's horse-back riding event. We saw a very annoyed Countess on her cell phone repeatedly calling her husband, to no avail. And we heard Luann chew the count out when she did finally reach him for not showing up at his daughter's competition.

But now the New York Post is reporting that the Count has been busy with another woman. The suave guy emailed his wife, saying "he has been seeing an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her."

A source close to Luann told The Post that "It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she's taking the high road and will remain friends with him," adds the source. "She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She's just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace."

Apparently Luann plans to stay friends with her cheating count, and keep the primary focus on doing what is best for their two children.

And.... a rep has noshed any romantic notions people may be conjuring up after seeing Luann with another man this past weekend....apparently the man is "just a friend" of the Countess.

Celebrity Baby News---- Alyson Hannigan


Actress Alyson Hannigan gave birth to a baby girl on March 24th--which also happens to be the actress's birthday as well!

The star from , " How I Met Your Mother", and her husband, actor Alexis Denisof, welcomed their new baby daughter at a Los Angeles area hospital last Tuesday.

The baby, Satyana Denisof, is the first child for Hannigan and Denisof, 43, who met on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the 1999-2000 season and were married at the Two Bunch Palms resort near Palm Springs, Calif., in 2003.

"They're very excited, and mom and baby are doing great," according to a family spokesperson.

Michelle Obama's Baby Bump


The cute little tummy bulge that has had pregnancy rumors swirling around the First Lady.....

So not a baby bump!

Nope, there is no little bundle of joy coming to the White House now, or anytime, according to the First Lady (unless it is of a canine species).

Michelle Obama sat with Oprah Winfrey for an interview for Winfrey's April issue of "O" Magazine, and dispelled the pregnancy speculation once and for all.

The First Lady told Oprah--

"I was like 'baby bump?' As hard as I work on my abs, Here's the scoop: Not pregnant. And not planning on it."

Coutney Love Twitter Lawsuit


Courtney Love has not been Tweeting nicely. Seems Love has become the first celebrity sued for bad tweeting on Twitter.

Dawn Simorangkir, also known as Boudoir Queen, filed a lawsuit against Courtney Love last week for defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress for "an extensive rant" on Twitter about how she was billed for custom clothing.

Ouch.

What did Courtney Tweet that upset the designer?

A tweet that contained swearing and a bounty of grammatical errors.

The complaint states,

"Whether caused by a drug induced psychosis, a warped understanding of reality, or the belief that her money and fame allow her to disregard the law, Love has embarked (o)n what is nothing short of an obsessive and delusional crusade to terrorize and destroy Simorangkir, Simorangkir's reputation and her livelihood."

OOPS. Don't be tweeting people wrong now. Twitter nicely.

Mariah's Anniversary Present


It has been almost a year since Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon surprised everyone with news of their marriage. So as the couple's first anniversary approaches in May, what did Nick get his wife for an anniversary present?

A short-haired Jack Russell terrier! The new "baby" is a girl, just 8 weeks old, and named Cha-Cha.

Speaking to Usmagazine on Saturday, Cannon described his marriage to Mariah as

"the most amazing thing ever. I couldn't wish for anything else. She's the most incredible woman. Being in a strong union and being there for each other is something that I'd never really experienced before, so to experience it with my wife is remarkable. We're together as one, and that's important to me."

But when asked about babies in he and Mariah's future, the happy husband just laughed.

Gwen Stefani Gets Into The Swing Of Motherhood

Liam Neeson Back To Work


The husband of the late actress, Natasha Richardson, has returned to work following his wife's tragic death.

Liam Neeson returned to Toronto last week to finish shooting the indie film, "Chloe" according to Access Hollywood.

Ne York's Page Six reported that Neeson was spotted sitting alone at a bar in the Hazelton Hotel last week while in Toronto.

911 calls have shown how Natasha Richardson's condition was quickly deteriorating about an hour after the actress had fallen on a bunny slope during a private ski lesson, and hit her head.

At 1pm a medic arrived at the Mont Tremblanc ski resort, but apparently Richardson was feeling ok and declined treatment at that time. At 2:59, another 911 call was placed from the hotel. The 911 dispatch that contacted paramedics used the code, "17-Delta-1," which indicated that the situation was then classified as "dangerous."

Medics rushed Richardson was rushed by ambulance 45 minutes later and taken to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien.

According to reports, her orientation rating was "0," indicating she didn't know where she was, the day of the week, or what had happened to her -- all signs of a potentially life-threatening brain injury.

"[She's] disoriented... She presents signs of confusion, a concussion," a medic radioed to hospital staff.

Natasha Richardson succumbed to her head injury on March 18th.

Richardson’s sister, Joely, also returned to work last week, continuing her filming of the BBC remake of “The Day of the Triffids.” Richardson’s mother, Vanessa Redgrave, postponed her April 27 New York performance in “The Year of Magical Thinking” until an undetermined date.

Madonna's Controversial Adoption To Be Decided Friday


Singer Madonna is hoping to adopt a little girl from Malawi, despite the angry protests of many people.

Madonna appeared in a Malawi courtroom Monday, where the case was adjourned until Friday, April 3rd.

According to the CNN website, an uncle of the girl was scheduled to sign adoption papers Monday, according to Martin Geissler, a reporter for the ITN television network who is in Malawi, but the uncle did not appear to have been in the court.

The child's family will have to give their permission for the adoption to proceed, Geissler said, but need not be physically present in the court to do so. The little girl, Chifundo James, is reported to be 4-years-old. She has two uncles and a grandfather, who were not in court Monday, Geissler said. The charity, Save The Children, is criticizing Madonna's proposed adoption, saying that adoptions should happen only if a child does not have any relatives, and all other options have been considered.

Chifundo, whose name means "Mercy", has reportedly been living in an orphanage since her 18 year old single mother died a few days after giving birth. The litle girl is said to be 4 years old, though some reports have said 3 years old.

Critics say that the courts are giving Madonna special treatment due to her celebrity status, and that laws governing non-residents from adopting are being ignored by the courts.

Under Malawian law, foreign adopters would have to spend a year or more living in the African country with the children they want to adopt. Reportedly the rules were put in place to prevent child trafficking.

Despite the protests and opposition to the adoption, Madonna has stated that she is pleased to be a part of a case that may pave the way for more Malawi adoptions in the future.

In 2006, the actress/singer started adoption procedures for her adopted Malawi son, David, whose father apparently agreed to let Madonna adopt when he felt he could no longer provide for the little boy.

According to reports, Madonna has said that Malawian friends had told her David needed a brother or sister. The singer has two other children: Rocco and Lourdes.

On Sunday Madonna toured a site where her charity, Raising Malawi, plans to build a multi-million dollar school for girls in Chikhota village, a short distance outside Lilongwe.

Latest Madonna Malawi Adoption news


Madonna, her daughter Lourdes and adopted son David, have all arrived in Malawi as the singer works on her second adoption.

Madonna is hoping to adopt 3 year old Mercy James, whose single mother dies at age 18.

On Monday Madonna is epected to be in court processing the adoption of little Mercy.

The singer is also taking after Oprah; Madonna plans on starting an all -girls schoolin Malawi, that has some residents worried about their homes.

Apparently the residents in the area where the new school will be built have been told to leave their gardens after this year's harvest, and that their houses will have to be torn down for the new school. Concerns about where the residents will live have been raised, but accordin to Malawi officials, issues of compensation for the land are being handled by Raising Malawi, the charity established by Madonna.

Tori Spelling, Mom, Still Don't Talk


Tori Spelling's baby daughter, Stella, has not met her grandmother, and may not ever meet her.

Sadly, the rift between the 90210 star and her mother, Candy Spelling, has only worsened since the death of the Spelling's father, Aaron Spelling, in 2007.

According to the grandmother of Tori's two children, Stella and Liam, she has never met Stella and now no longer sees Liam either.

Candy Spelling is now selling the infamous five-acre French Chateau-style mansion that the Spelling family, including Tori, lived in since 1991.

But Spelling says she wouldn't be selling the mansion if there was any hope of reconciling with her daughter Tori, her husband Dean, and their two children. The grandmother of Stella and Liam told People Magazine that she has always dreamed of having a bautiful playhouse built on the grounds of the mansion for her grandchildren.

So where will Candy Spelling be moving to? A $47 million condo with 17,000 square feet. And in case the Grandma ever does get to see her grandchildren, she has had a playroom built for Stella and Liam.

There are also two trust funds set up for the children by Candy Spelling.

And a new book by Spelling is due out March 31st, "Stories From Candyland ", which is a frank memoir of the family.

Somehow we don't think this "Tell All" is going to do much to heal the rift between the mother and daughter.

Nadya Brings Home Babies Nos. 5 and 6


Nadya Suleman is filling up her new nursery very quickly-- two more of the octuplets came home Thursday night.

That is now six babies home, two still at the hospital. Baby number seven is due to be released in the next few days. The last octuplet may need another month in the hospital before he can come home though.

Thursday also marked the Octuplets two month birthday, and Nadya and her six older children celebrated with cupcakes made by one of her nannies.

Seems like just maybe the crazy hoopla and outroar over the octuplets could be slowing down.

Dr. Phil finally did the right thing by "taking a responsible" step back from Nadya and her babies...why he felt he should be involved is ridiculous to begin with.

The fired nurse service, "Agels in Waiting" did not impress us much when they appeared on Dr. Phil's show the other day. The nurse that filed the three complaints aginst Nadya looked like a jealous bitter woman.

Nadya deserves privacy and respect. So far the Octo Mom seems to be handling her new additions just fine. Hopefully things will continue to go well for all the babies and the older six children, and everyone will go back to business as normal.

Big Scare Backstage at Dancing With the Stars


A stalker at Dancing With The Stars was arrested Tuesday morning when he apparently came looking for Shawn Johnson. The man, Robert O'Ryan, 34, apparently traveled from Florida to the set of Dancing With The Stars because he believed the Olympic Gold Medalist was speaking to him through tv and ESP.

Police arrested O'Ryan, and a restraining order has been issued for the protection of Shawn Johnson, her parents and her professional dancing partner, Mark Ballas.

Bachelor's Jason and Molly Updates (If You Care)


So Jason and his lucky runner up, Molly, are still together. Apparently the dashing Jason (um...you know we joke, right?), has been the one to fly out to visit Molly--who we hear has not had the time to go to Seattle...yet.

The Bachelor's twosome has been meeting in Milwaukee (Molly's home town), and getting together with Molly's friends (whom apparently gave Jason their stamps of approval. Yea.) and "grilling out."

Ty has not spent time with Molly since the public "Dumping of Melissa" on TV a few weeks back, but Molly is apparently going to Seattle son to spend time with him and Jason.

So, yea, that's the big Bachelor Jason and Molly update. Now we can all return to our normal routines for the day.

Moustaches, Crayons, and American Idols


Simon and Paula definitely have some weird attraction going on. Do not the two American Idol Judges remind you of little kids in about 2nd grade or so? You know-where they "swear" they do not like each other, yet the boy pulls the girl's hair, girl acts silly around the boy, etc.?

In between the Idols singing (what a good night overall for the singing, don't you agree?) their MoTown picks, Simon and Abdul carried on with their usual battering and playing.

Paula gave Simon Crayons and Coloring Books to remind us all of Simon's immaturity. Simon later drew a moustache on Paula with the crayons. Aw. It's just live we are back in the classroom!

But back to the Final 1o American Idol hopefuls last night--

We loved-
Adam Lambert
Allison Iraheta (amazing voice for 16!!)
and Kris Allen

Actually, thought it was a good night for most, EXCEPT:

Lil Rounds (Slooow down ....that song made us dizzy)
Scott Macintyre (so-so)
Megan Joy (like Simon said, bad song choice all the way)

Our guess at who goes home? Scott.

What's Up With Kelly From Real Housewives?


Kelly cannot be long for Real Housewives...come on, is there anyone out there who likes this woman? At all?


How can we best describe this annoying newcomer to the Houseives fold?

---- snobby?

----selfish?

---- A candidate for the next nasty "mommy dearest?"? (I feel so bad for Kelly's daughters!)

---- A crude, rude, 'wannabe' name dropper that is not exactly beautiful inside or out??


Yep. That should do it.

But are we wrong? Are we missing some endearing characteristics that others see in Kelly?

Help us out here and correct us if we are wrong about the Newest Real Housewives addition.

We thought we maybe we were judging too harshly before....maybe Kelly is shy and just doesn't feel comfortable socializing and catting with the likes of Bethenny and the other housewives.

It wasn't weird, was it, when Kelly decided to try on and buy the same dress that LuAnn had just tried on at that boutique, (and looked great in) right? BTW, that dress looked horrible on you Kelly--and the beret? Yuck.

But no. After we heard the snooty Ms. Kelly tell Jill and the other Housewives at the fundraiser meeting to help fight arthritis (which we all know Jill's daughter Alley suffers from), that she doesn't lend her name to anything (referring to being named a co-chair with the other wives)---Kelly just is nasty. How many times did she refer to Jill's daughter as "cute" at that meeting? And please tell us we misunderstood when we thought we heard Kelly refer to the whole arthritis condition and fundraiser as "cute" too?

Giovanni Rufino/Bravo(2)


Not shy. Not nervous. Just nasty. Kelly is apparently someone who believes she is waaaay more special and important than anyone else could ever hope to be.

Where did this latest "Housewive" wannabe come from anyway???

Jenny Craig Diet Looks Good On Valerie Bertinelli!


Jenny Craig must be smiling from ear to ear! Valerie Bertinelli has hit the cover of People Magazine showing off an amazing body--thanks to the Jenny Craig diet, exercise and a trainer.

What better PR could Jenny Craig ask for? Valerie Bertinelli looks hot--and at 49, is probably making 29 year olds jealous.

Remember the Jenny Craig commercials showing Kirstie Alley inviting Valerie Bertinelli to join the diet with her?

So what happened to Kirstie anyway??

Bethenny Frankel Can Help Oprah Lose Weight?


That's what the Real Housewives Star claims anyway. Bethenny Frankel has a new book out, "Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting," which she says can help women everywhere control their weight.

Frankel says she "figured out how to be thin, and was like, wow...I have to write about it!"

The star of Real Housewives admitted that growing up she had weight issues--

"Being skinny didn't come easy for me," said the reality star, who told Fox News she was recently 15-20 lbs. heavier. "I was on every single diet and grew up in a life of diet obsession and food noise. But now I've freed myself, and I can worry about other things."

So what secrets does Bethenny reveal in her new book?

Things like--

eat chocolate cake for breakfast one morning if you want to, just remember to save "it" in another place (sort of like a bank account--spend it when you want to, but account for it by saving in another place) -- sounds reasonable (going to get some cake...brb!)

Also, the natural cook dishes about The Point of Diminishing Return: which basically means, eat your yummy dish, but stop when it tastes as good as it is going to get. Leave some on the plate--no need to eat it all. (OK---so I will leave some cake on my plate, sheesh.)

And that leads us right to another rule of the Housewives star, Downsize. Porportions are too big usually. Try leaving food on your plate, or try ordering an appetizer for your meal.

So...I wonder if Bethenny has sent Oprah a free copy of her new book yet??

DWTS--Go Steve, Go!!


Poor Steve Wozniak. That guy cannot get a break with the judges. Is there a personnal grudge the "High Falutin" judges have against Steve or what??

The man is not a dancer. Does not have any natural rhythm like some other 'contenders' on the show, but so what??

Really, I thought Dancing With The Stars was supposed to be more about getting celebrities that do not really dance ( Steve W., Steve-O and Ty Murray are perfect examples), but are there to try and learn and become better dancers?

Wozniak tries so hard, it is sad the judges have to tear him down. No praise for effort? No admiration for bravery? Sheesh. Shame on you judges. I guess celebrities that are not natural dancers will not be coming to sign up anytime soon for their turn on the dance floor! If you have two left feet---run quickly, do not approach the floor at all---you will be humiliated if the judges have anything to say about it (which they will, of course.)

If you are a Dancing With The Stars viewer, and you vote, consider voting for Steve Wozniak this week. He may not stay on the show much longer, but the guy sure deserves some vote love!

Nurses or Spies in Octo Mom's House?


Is Nadya Suleman being paranoid, or is there truth to her claims that the nurses that were training Suleman's nannies were actually spying on the Octuplet's mom so as to file reports to children services?

It seems that there was distrust and discord right from the start between Nadya and the Angels in Waiting Organization that offered to train Suleman's nannies for free.

On Sunday tensions apparently rose above repair as Suleman came to the conclusion that teh founder of Angels in Waiting, Linda West-Conforti, was allegedly filing a report against her with child welfare officials.

Attorney Gloria Allred is representing the nurse organization, and has said more details will be released Tuesday.

So now Nadya Suleman will be having her nannies trained by nurses from the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, where the octuplets were born on Jan. 26. Kaiser sends out home health nurses to provide training and guidance to new mothers, and at least two such visits have been made to the Suleman home. How much this service costs is not known.

So is Nadya a bit paranoid, or was she being "set up" by the Angels in Waiting? Were the nurses actually spies?

Wonder Years Danica McKellar Married


Winnie Cooper is a married woman. The crush of Kevin on The Wonder Years has married her composer boyfriend, Mike Verta.

Fred Savage, who played Kevin on the show, did not make it to McKellar's wedding, but his tv parents, Dan Lauria and Alley Mills were there.

Maid of Honor was McKellar's sister, Crystal McKellar, who also appeared on Wonder Years as Kevin's e-girlfriend, Becky Slater.

Aw. We can hear hearts breaking as fans of The Wonder Years realize Winnie Cooper is off the market.

Which American Idol Singer Upset With Fans?


That would be the agitated David Cook.

The American Idol winner has cautioned his "overly aggressive" fans to cool it a bit.

If not, Cook warns, "we will have to take further preventive actions...... which will make us less accessible to you."

On his MySpace Celebrity Blog, David Cook says "I hope this doesn't come off as harsh. I merely want to nip this in the bud so we can continue to have a great experience with all of you at the shows we have coming up."

What set off the Idol? Too many fans calling his hotel room, fans trying to find his hotel room, attaching things to the buses, and other annoying things (we assume there are more annoying fan things bothering David, but who knows?)

Warning taken, David. We will not call you tonight. Promise.

What Did Rapper M.I.A. Name Her Baby Boy?


Well, for sure the baby's name is not "Ickett," which really upset the new mom when she read that people believed that was her baby boy's name.

We can understand M.I.A.'s being upset. Of course she wouldn't name her baby Ickett, or Pickit or Lickit, as the rap singer made clear.

Sheesh, people. The baby boy's name is Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.

Glad that is cleared up.

And the Injuries Keep Coming on Dancing With The Stars


A second injury for Apple co-founder and dancing hopeful, Steve Wozniak won't keep him from kicking up his heels on DWTS tonight.

Wozniak pulled his hamstring muscle, and now has that new injury along with his fractured foot. Ouch.

But "always a smile on his face" Steve is expected to dance on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, according to a rep for the ABC show.

Secret Wedding For David Letterman


Getting married seems to be the hottest thing in Hollywood lately, and David Letterman has joined in now as well!

Letterman, the perennial bachelor, has become at long last, a married man. Wow.

The 61 year old talk show host married his longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko, 48, March 19th in Montana.

Low key is an understatement for this celebrity wedding--a Justice of The Peace and the couple's 5 year old son, Harry, made up the guest list.

A truck stuck in mud was not deterrent enough for Letterman to change his mind on the nuptials either--guess when the talk show host makes up his mind to do something, it is going to get done. Letterman walked the two miles back to the house when their truck got stuck in the mud. After returning with another car to pick up Harry and his mom, the trio made it town, just in time to tie the old knot!



Congratulations!

Did Edie Really Die On Desperate Housewives Last Night?


Last night's Desperate Housewives ended with the electrifying death of Edie. But did the housewife really die?

Probably....but we won't see the conclusion of the two part episode until April 19th!

But as we have all heard and read, Nicolette Sheridan has left Wisteria Lane, so presumably Edie will not survive her electrifying moment last night. Sigh.

And then we had the glimpse of an urn, supposedly, on the lap of neighbor Mrs. McCluskey on the previews.

But then we have heard the Desperate Housewives Rumor that the last two seasons of the show will be set back in earlier times....when all the wives were younger and alive...even Mary Alice will still be around (rumor only at this point) so we may see Edie back on Wisteria Lane after all.

And what else went down on Desperate Housewives last night?

Gabby and Carlos figure out that they were headed down the same path as once before.... he working too much, Gabby being neglected in the bedroom, and their family life pretty much non-existent.

Funny stuff with Gabby bringing the girls to Carlos' office to have it out, handing the girls to Lynette to watch, who in turn lets the girls play with nasty boss, Lucy's, prized glass animal collection. Lucy yells at the cleaning lady whom she assumes is the girl's mother, Carlos and Gabby see her, Carlos tells nasty boss lady she is not needed any more. Lynette grins, Gabby smiles, and weekends are no longer going to be part of the "work week" anymore.

Susan meanwhile is "reunited" with her first ex-husband, Karl, who has enrolled his son at the school where Susan is now an art teacher (uh, thought she was only an assistant last week??). The son draws scary pictures involving his mom. Susan is concerned and brings it up to the ex. We eventually come to find out that the wife has left Karl and their son for "greener pastures. " hence the disturbing drawings. Will we be seeing Susan with a new romance with her original ex, Karl, net season?

Orson tells Bree he steals because he feels he is in the background as Bree's business grows and grows. Ah. Poor guy. Yea--sell your thriving business Bree to satisfy the man....uhuh. Best moment was when Bree changes her mind, does not sell, and tells the crybaby hubby something to the effect of, "...you can steal if you want, but you will not steal my company!" Yes.

Orson of course will be hiding a bigger secret in upcoming episodes than his stealing trinkets from neighbors. He will be the one that actually causes Edie's to crash as he is running out of an elderly neighbor's house, with ski mask on conveniently, after trying to steal from her. So Edie's death can actually be blamed on Orson, so to speak.

And then we have the real reason behind why poor Edie is driving her car in panic mode to begin with. Dave. His plan to take Mike and Katherine camping and hurt Mike by getting rid of Katherine fails when Edie calls Dave on his cell phone just as he is about to pull the trigger, planning to take out Katherine.

Edie, back at home, has finally put all the pieces of the puzzle together and calls Dave to tell him she knows everything and to come home. Which he does, mission unaccomplished. Lucky for Katherine and Mike.

And then we see poor Edie's heart broken as she realizes she was being used, not loved, by Dave. We see Dave try to choke Edie, but then let go ( a heart after all?), Edie run out of the house, into her car, and the crash.

Last scene is Edie meeting her fate when she steps out of the car, and into a puddle. Shocking end for the housewife? Or a tease?

That hand did twitch after all. And what was with the close up of the ring on Edie's finger??

Celebrity Baby Birthdays-- Tori's Son Turns Two


It was all about the Cars at Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's son, Liam's, second birthday. The party boy celebrated his birthday a week late after being sick on the actual day he turned two. Little sister Stella, 9 months, joined in the fun and in the cake demolition, a car-shaped cake (from Beverly Hills bakery Hansen's Cakes) with big brother Liam.

Tori made a red car jumpsuit for little Liam, who apparently is fascinated with the animated movie, "Cars." There was an indoor ball jump, an outdoor petting zoo and a live band--Liam's favorite group, The Jumpitz.

Guests went home with party bags by Silver Spoons!, each bag with a personalized tag by Mabels Labels.

Final Goodbyes For Natasha Richardson


Actress Natasha Richardson was laid to rest Sunday in New York. Richardson's husband, Liam Neeson , their sons, Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, her mother Vanessa Redgrave, her sister Joely Richardson, along with many close family and friends said their final goodbyes at St. Peter's Church in Millbrook, N.Y.

Natasha's seemingly minor fall on a bunny slope during a private ski lesson last week turned tragic when bleeding in the brain went untreated for four hours. Natasha Richardson apparently felt fine right after the fall, and is said to have refused treatment by paramedics called to the scene.

It would be 4 hours before Richardson actually was treated in a hospital for her head injuries, which of course turned out to be too late.

In the sadness and shock following Richardson's tragic death, the awareness of the potential seriousness of head injuries, no matter how minor it may seem at the time, has been brought front and center to everyone.

Nadya Suleman Brings Home Two More Babies


Two more of the Octuplets were released from the hospital Saturday. Octo Mom Nadya Suleman brought home two baby girls, Nariyah and Maliya.

To avoid the crush of paparazzi that descended upon the Octo Mom and the neighorhood Suleman now lives in when the first two babies came home, a police officer followed Nadya on Saturday afternoon as she took her next two babies home. Streets were also blocked off to keep paparazzi away from the family.

Both babies "are able to bottle feed, are gaining weight and are able to maintain their body temperature," according to hospital officials.

Nadya has said in an interview with People Magazine that "Everyone's happy and healthy, but reality is really setting in. I've got a lot a work ahead of me."

Suleman also discussed how her mom, the Octuplets grandmother, "...wants nothing to do with the babies," in an interview with Radar Online last week.

Calista Flockhart, Harrison Ford Engaged


Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford are Engaged! No word yet on when the couple may tie the knot, but apparently the proposal from Harrison came on Valentine's Day Weekend. The 66 year old Ford is said to have surprised Flockhart, 44, while they were on vacation with Flockhart's son, Liam.

How did the proposal go?? What we heard.... whether it is Truth or Fiction cannot be said.... The engagement ring was hidden in a bakery bag for Calista to find as the Brothers and Sisters star reached for a croissant.

Reports from In Touch Magazine say that a source informed them that instead of a croissant, Flockhart pulled a 2 carat diamond ring out of the bag.

But a representative for the actress says the lovely engagement story is not true--- we just want to see the long time couple become Mr. and Mrs. --- however the proposal happened.

Grey's Anatomy Thursday Recap


Izzie has cancer. And it's bad. With successful surgery, there is still only a 5% rate of survival. Izzie confides only in Yang, who eventually fills in the other interns.

And not too surprising, the one surgeon who can possibly do the intricately difficult surgery on Izzie is ..... Derek. Derek of course is off on a pity party with himself, lots of beer and his trailer.

Meanwhile, Sloan performs a surgery reconstructing a patient's face that was literally torn off in an accident. And the results (great scene!) of the surgery are so touching that Izzie reconsiders her earlier stance of "no telling, no treatment."

But Yang has already given the gang the bad news about Izzie, and they are there to support their friend as she makes the choice to fight after all. So now we will ponder if Izzie survives or not. Best bet is that it can go either way-- we have heard rumors Katherine Heigel wants to leave Grey's Anatomy, and also speculations that she may stay after all. Perfect storyline for a questionable future.

And Derek gets a support intervention as well. A concerned Dr. Bailey sends out Torres to talk to the depressed doc, which doesn't work out too well when a depressed Torres joins the pity party. Next comes Hunt, and the party grows. And what makes the party complete? A visit by a fed up Chief of Staff.

Will Meredith (oh, yea.... you so know she shows up at the trailer too!), kick Derek out of his funk with a perfect line (in response to Derek's questioning Meredith's love for him if he wasn't a surgeon) :

No, because Izzie has cancer and you’re one of about 20 people who can save her,” she said. “I don’t know if I could respect somebody who could walk away from a gift like that.”

Ouch! Loved that line...Loved IT!

Twins Have Charlie Sheen Guessing!


The new twins are not identical but that is not helping their dad, Charlie Sheen, much. The actor admits he is having a hard time telling his new twin sons apart.

Bob and Max are so little right now, that apparently they look very much alike, at least to dad.

And Sheen let a little inside info about the twins' names out during an interview with Entertainment Tonight-- Max was supposed to be "Nick" until about a minute before he was born!

Octo Grandma Ignoring Her Grandbabies Says OctoMom


Octo Mom Nadya Suleman says her own mother wants nothing to do with her new gradchildren

"She dismisses, disrespects everything I ever have to say, [and] she doesn't want anything to do with the babies."

Speaking of her new chaotic life with the octuplets and her other six children, Suleman told RadarOnline that she feels people are giving her a hard time because she is a single mother.

"It's going to take a long time to prove not only to the world, but to myself, that I can be a very good mother,"

If you watch the video on RadarOnline of Nadya bringing home two of her octuplets from the hospital, you do hear/see Suleman's mother, and uh, let's say we can get an idea of what the octo mom means when she says her mother is disrepecting of whatever Suleman does.

The Octo Mom also said she believes her mother will "come around."

New Romance For OC Housewives Star Gretchen?


Hmmm....Gretchen and Slade......a couple?

Rumors and accusations of Gretchen Rossi from The Real Housewives of Orange County cheating on her dying fiance are old news. But there is some new gossip going on about Gretchen and a new man in her life--none other than "Slade", a previous star on the series.

Slade was engaged to Jo De La Rosa from Real Housewives. They broke up and Slade went out with yet another Real Housewife-- Laurie Waring. Of course we know Laurie quickly moved on from Slade and got married.

But Slade seems stuck on the Real Housewives ladies, and Gretchen is "IT" for the moment. The two have been spotted together quite a bit lately, and the heat between them seems to be rising with every outing they take together.

The cuddly pair were seen Wednesday on a boat in Newport Beach, Calif., applying suntan lotion on each other and sharing kisses.

What will Tamra, Vickie and Jo have to say about this latest "romance for the real housewife?" (who, as we all know, is not anyone's wife at all??)
