Kendra Wilkinson to Go Dancing With the Stars?

Dancing With the Stars may have lost out on its top target in Lindsay Lohan, but sources say another major "get" may be imminent: Kendra Wilkinson.
Kendra was approached by ABC and met with execs, E! reports. "Her personality, combined with her ability to dance, is appealing," a source says.
Off the record, her breasts don't hurt, they probably thought. Also, the quota of at least one former Playboy centerfold per year must be adhered to.

GO KENDRA: Will Mrs. Baskett catch DWTS fever?
Less than a year ago, on the Today show, she didn't mince her words about the reality competition, saying she would likely pass because she's a hands-on mom.
Fast forward 10 months and the money may do the talking for K-Dubs. It's not like they can count on big paydays and job security from Hank. No offense, Hank.
Besides, what better way to stir up fake divorce drama than dancing suggestively with Maksim Chmerkovskiy? In Touch Weekly just started salivating at that.
ABC's official line is that it won't comment on casting rumors, but the new season will kick off in March, so we should hear one way or the other soon.

Doctors Stunned, Impressed by Recovery of Gabrielle Giffords

With a nation rallying behind her, Gabrielle Giffords is recovering at a rapid, awe-inducing pace from the tragic events of last weekend.
The Congresswoman is already sitting up and communicating with her hands, facts that have stunned doctors at Tucson's University Medical Center.
"She is able to move both of her legs on command," says neurosurgeon Michael Lemole. "That's huge. We say, 'Gabrielle, lift your legs up,' and she lifts both of them up."
Gabrielle Giffords Pic
As detailed Tuesday night by President Barack Obama, Giffords opened her eyes for the first time since the shooting soon after he paid her a hospital visit.
"That implies that the part of the brain that lets us awake from sleeping, the arousal center, is functioning," says Lemole. "Miracles happen every day. A lot of medicine is outside of our control, so we're wise to acknowledge miracles."
The surgeon concluded that the goal is to get Giffords sitting in a chair by the end of this weekend.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Review: Really Bad Grammer...

It's taken us almost a full season, but THG has finally found someone willing to cover The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It hasn't been easy. Most critics can't keep their dinner down as they watch this revolting nonsense.
But how did one intern respond to the events from last night? Find out now...
Lisa reminds me of Dynasty and an era when pink lipstick and coifs were en vogue.  Can I keep you, Lisa Vanderpump?
Housewives of Beverly Hills
Oh, Camille.  Kelsey calls you in the middle of the night to tell you he wants out (just like that scene from The Starter Wife).  Then, he appeases you by suggesting a romantic weekend to get back on track.  Time to bow out and take your cut of the profits.  Kelsey's taking you for a ride.
"You look a little..."
"A little tired? A little thin? Have you noticed that I've lost a little weight?"
No, but keep talking about your appearance.  Whatever gets you through these hard times.  Speaking of which,  where is Nick?
What's this? Is Kim stepping back into the limelight?  Did she just tell Disney On Demand that she's over being a mom?  You mean we don't have to feel sorry for Kim anymore because her life revolves around her children who have no interest in being around her?  You're not broken, Kim!  You're just a little damaged.
God bless Adrienne's husband, Paul.  He had his nose broken not once but TWICE by his young son during the season.  Why did Adrienne bring Paul shopping? Awful idea to bring your husband shopping. 
"There's too many clothes."
"Come on, man!." 
"Adrienne, go take look at that clearance rack."
Cedric sets up tea time in an attempt to linger longer at Chateau Vanderpump.  What kind of a tea set is that, Lisa?   I think I have a lunch box with the same pattern.
It's Farrah's big day and Portia just wants to take a bath in peace.  She could care less what Kyle wears to the ceremony.  Bath time is quiet time.  Why doesn't anyone get that?
A Camille Toast
I feel for Camille.  I really do.  She really chapped my ass this entire season, but when you're down, you're down.  Camille's showing humanity and I appreciate that. 
I LOVE MAURICIO.  I LOVE HIM.
Portia, you have some pasta sauce on your face.
What's going on with Paul and Adrienne's impromptu marriage counseling at Farrah's graduation lunch?  Mauricio's mom, Estella, is not on the clock.  And, Adrienne, it's so unlike you to air your dirty laundry on camera.  Wait, now the conversation just turned to a face lift for Estella.  I'm confused.
Who let Kim stand up to speak?
The last four minutes of the episode were the four most frustrating minutes of the season.  How do you put on a happy face for your husband who dumped you, then asked that you accompany him to the Tony Awards?  Tell him to have a blast at the ceremony and to call when your severance for the last thirteen years is in the mail. 
Stop acting like everything is great.  Don't compliment him.  Don't tell him you love him.  He doesn't deserve that.  He's with another woman.  Like my mother always said: "They never leave a warm bed for a cold one."  Think about that before you put on the red dress.  Not to mention you can't even go back to that 3,500 square foot shoebox Kelsey calls home because he won't allow it.  What a crock.
Nick is there, so it's alright.  Go ahead and kiss him on the lips while his wife idly stands by. 
Next week oughta be good. How many times have you wanted to tackle your sister for making your blood boil? Never? Me neither...

Jersey Shore Recap: Sammi is the New Angelina

Sammi Giancola has become that which she abhors.
Granted, as a miserable human being and very painful individual, Sammi Giancola abhors a great many things. But Angelina Pivarnick might top the list.
Having turned herself into the house pariah and destined to hitch a ride out of town before long, Sammi has morphed into Ange 2.0. It's sad and wonderful.
As always, THG breaks down all the best Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from last night's installment of the "reality" show in its patented +/- recap below:
Fists of Fury
Last week's epic smackdown resumes in the opening moments.
Plus 16 for the resumption of the fight that ended last week's season premiere. Girl pulled out some of JWoww's hair. Not a wise move if you want to live.
The boys go to the gym. Having no friends, Sam tries to go with. Minus 5.
Ronnie and Sammi seem to hate Jersey Shore more than the faction of fans on THG's Facebook who want to GET THIS TRASH OFF THE AIR!!!!!!!!!! Plus 7.
Angelina made a better Angelina than Sam, we're thinking. Minus 4.
Snooki can fit into a suitcase. This is definitely useful to know and not all that surprising. Can we check that bag on a one-way flight to Bangkok? Plus 6.
Little Baggage
Hope the airlines don't accidentally lose this baggage ...
Vinny raps the t-shirt time theme song. Sorry, but it's no Pauly D. Minus 3.
At the club some girl started following Vinny around. Complete stalker style. Just creepy stuff, but Plus 2 for his line about her being the parasite. Spot on.
JWoww, wasted, calls boyfriend Tom to learn she forgot it was their anniversary. No wonder dude is threatening to leak those JWoww nude pics now. Minus 10.
The scene where JWoww finds Snooki hiding in the bush must have been like what explorers felt braving the jungles of Africa in the mid-20th Century. Plus 7.
Naturally, The Situation tries to move in on Vinny's girl. Again. Minus 9.
The Outcast
Sammi is the new outcast, and mostly by choice.
No matter what nonsense Sitch pulls from time to time, he has always been about the "family," and remains surprisingly well-liked because of it. Plus 8.
Sammi, being the diva that she is, basically said she could care less that she missed out on family dinner, which doesn't sit well with the gang. Minus 6.
Deena on herself and BFF Snooki: "We're the exact same size, same body shape kind of, we're such a blast!" In a glass, you could even say. Plus 4.
Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Magro have one of their epic arguments, rehashing everything in Miami. Man, could these two suck any more? Minus 13.
In conclusion, a full episode just about Snooki and Deena trying to get the kickball back - with an assist from Vinny - would be worth watching. Plus 5.
TOTAL: +5. SEASON TOTAL: +35.

Brad Womack Gushes Over Love, "Stable" Winner of The Bachelor

Make no bones about it. Brad Womack has found THE ONE.
"I'm confident that I chose the right woman. I'm even more confident in our love and that it's very real. I mean it," the Austin, Tex., bar owner told Us Weekly this week.
"I'd like to give myself credit. This particular woman is so stable."
Hey, don't take stable for granted. Vienna Girardi won last season ...
Brad W. Pic
A CHANGED MAN, A SECOND CHANCE: Having blown his first shot at this, Brad Womack admits he worried about not finding his true love this time, either.
"I'd be lying if that didn't cross my mind. I told the producers if I don't feel it, I'm walking," Womack said. "I would never say I was in love if I was not in love."
Fortunately, that's not a problem.
"She knows exactly the type of guy I am," Womack said of the unnamed winner (read The Bachelor spoilers here for more on that). "What we have is very real."

Booze and Boobs: A Night in the Life of Charlie Sheen...

Bombshell McGee may not have enjoyed herself in Las Vegas this week with Charlie Sheen, but a witness tells TMZ the actor was in heaven at The Palms Hotel and Casino.
Detailing a penthouse full of "big booby blonde girls fighting for his attention," this source got a look at Sheen's suite and said: "It looked like porn star auditions... the girls were all over him and he just sat back and took it all in."
Da BombshellHalf a ManBree Olson Pic
Charlie Sheen contemplates which STD to get tested for first...
The Two and a Half Men star "loved the attention" and seemed like he was "in his environment," this onlooker added. Guests included McGee, her pal Lindsay Sinai and Bree Olson.
Tragically, however, Sheen came down with what his rep described as an "ear infection" immediately following his return to Los Angeles and arrived late to the set of his terrible sitcom.
For Sheen's sake, let's hope that "ear infection" doesn't leave sores on his mouth.

Jenelle Evans Dumps Kieffer Delp; Teen Mom 2 Star Reflects on Facebook

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and her boyfriend/partner in crime, Kieffer Delp, have called it quits - and she wants to make it quite clear who dumped who.
"he seen the light of day? nahh, i brokeup with HIM. get it straight. im not upset. i did it for the better of myself. i do better when single," she Facebooked.
"yu guys will see that in episode 2. it really isnt hitting me hard at all. idk why, just isnt. the breakup with andrew was wayyy more intense then this."
Jenelle Evans, Son
POOR JACE: Seriously. That poor little fella.
Troubled Jenelle is scheduled to appear in court on felony drug and breaking and entering charges (and speeding, for good measure) in the coming weeks.
The heiress apparent to Amber Portwood was last seen slugging her own mom on this week's debut episode of Teen Mom 2, which premiered Tuesday.
Evans apparently parties instead of caring for 9-month-old son Jace, and leaves him in the care of mom Barbara, resulting in the occasional brawl for the ages.
Cue the rumors of her losing her baby forever, In Touch.

Brandi Favre to Brother: Help!

Facing a slew of charges, including the manufacturing of meth, Brandi Favre is seeking help from a well-known source: her record-breaking, penis-texting brother of a former NFL quarterback.
With sources confirming that Brandi and Brett Favre are "very close," TMZ reports the 34-year Mississippi woman plans on reaching out to her sibling for whatever guidance he can provide.
Number 4
Can Brett Favre come up with a last-minute victory for his sister?
Of Brandi - who has been arrested in the past for shoplifting and unlawful use of a weapon - attorney Richard Dymond says she "is a good person."
No word yet from anyone in Brett's camp, but we know how this works: he'll likely take months to decide what to do, dragging out the dilemma in the press, only to eventually take action and throw away Brandi's last chance in an ill-advised, last-ditch effort of some kind.

Report: Blues Legend Etta James Gravely Ill

The prognosis doesn't look good for R&B legend Etta James.
The singer, 72, is undergoing round-the-clock treatment for dementia and leukemia at her Southern California home, according to her husband, Artis Mills.
Making matters more complicated for James' family, he is now seeking to take control more than $1 million of her assets, sparking a family feud of sorts.
Etta James Pic
Per a court declaration filed by Mills, the blues legend's health has deteriorated to the point where she can no longer manage her own affairs.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer requires constant care to help with even basic tasks, which is extremely sad. We wish her only the best.
Mills is asking for a court to transfer James' assets to a joint account so that he can run things, while Etta's son is asking a third party to do so.
Hopefully, this gets straightened out in what is already a difficult time.

Nicki Minaj to V: You Will Remember Me!

What do Nicki Minaj and Ted Williams have in common? Little, except for this: neither wants to be forgotten.
Williams sent this message to America before leaving for rehab this week, while Minaj says in the latest issue of V:
“I’m an entertainer - I like to make people laugh. Some will hate it and some will love it, but all will remember it. And that’s what I want: to be remembered. Even if I’m saying something hard-core or controversial, there’s always a touch of humor, and if you don’t like it, it means I’m stirring things up inside of you.”
For V
Speaking on her unique persona, the rapper also says: “I would crumple up and die if I had to wake up and be the same person every day."
She certainly changes things up in this magazine's pictorial. Click on the following images to enlarge each one:

Jake Pavelka is Bold, Beautiful

After appearing on The Bachelorette, starring as The Bachelor and competing on Dancing With the Stars, Jake Pavelka is trying to launch a real acting career.
Today, he appeared on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
"I play a pilot," said Pavelka, who is/was a pilot before becoming a professional reality star. "What's ironic is that it's harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!"
The Douchepocalypse
Jake signs an autograph for someone who needs a hobby.
Pavelka was offered the role in part because B&B producer Brad Bell flies planes, too. "He's a pilot himself and we had a whole lot in common," says Pavelka.
Also soaring is Pavelka's love life – he and wedding planner Meghan Jones are going strong. If that doesn't work out, there's always The Bachelor again.
Hey, it worked for Brad Womack.
"I read that story that I was begging to be The Bachelor again," says Jake, who was producers' backup plan after Kiptyn Locke, Reid Rosenthal, Womack and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (seriously) all turned it down. "That was news to me."

And the experience was so personal and so traumatic that she had to share it with the world on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last night, following the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"It was interesting to say the least," Camille told Andy Cohen. "I was delivering the kids to Kelsey, and he texted me and said, 'Kayte will be there.' And my girlfriend Deidre, who's on the show with me, said we have to go down and meet her."
And?!?
"She was nice, we both said hello. She has a very strong handshake... it was uncomfortable."
As it stands now, Camille won't let Kelsey go through with a hasty divorce, while Kesley wants to marry Kayte next month and... do you really care?

But to a television network that cuts him a mammoth check every year? Not so much.
At a press conference with reporters today, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler made it clear she has a "high level of concern" over the actor and his behavior.
Two and a Half Men Photo
“This man is a father, he’s got children, so obviously there’s concern on a personal level," Tassler said. "But Charlie’s a professional, he comes to work, he does his job extremely well... It’s very complicated."
Reportedly, CBS executives were contemplating some kind of intervention this week, following Sheen's antics in Las Vegas, but the star's lawyer wouldn't allow it. Why not just fire the guy? Well, Tassler replies:
“How do you get fired for going to work and doing your job?”
