Hines Ward Sends Message To His DWTS Fans

The winner of Dancing with the Stars, Hines Ward, sent this message via his Facebook page to his fans:

“OMG! I can’t believe it! First I want to say THANK YOU to all my fans and Steeler Nation, Bulldog Nation, and HineKym Nation for voting us to the Mirror Ball Trophy victory. Kym (Johnson) and I worked our butts off in this competition. Hats off to Kirstie/Maks and Chelsea/Mark each well deserving of the Mirror Ball. But you fans pushed us over the top. Kym and I are so thankful. Pittsburgh is back on the map! Hope I represented well. I still can’t believe it! Hines”

Here is what Hines told the LA Times:

“I knew Kym was gonna try to do all that she could to win for us [despite injured neck], for me. I felt good. I don’t have any problems with my hands and I knew I could hold her up with lifts and not let her fall.”

“I mean, I use my hands for a living. If you remember, when Kym got injured she was not in the air. She was already on the ground. So I felt OK with lifting her, ’cause I had no plans to ever let her fall. And I felt good doing them with her.”

How does he compare the DWTS win to his Super Bowl wins? “I don’t think you can really compare the two. They are equally important to me. They mean different things. Winning the Super Bowl symbolized being the best in my profession.”

“That, along with winning the Super Bowl MVP is the ultimate goal both individually and as a team. It says we are good at what we do as professionals. Winning the mirror ball trophy symbolizes overcoming my fear of the unknown.”

“It says that I was able to excel at something I knew nothing about, to rise above difficulty and take risks. Both prove hard work pays off. Both are special.”


Kim Kardashian Is Engaged!

Hate to break it to you guys, but Kim Kardashian is no longer single. The 30-year old reality star is now engaged to New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.

Humphries, 26, seems to be a bit of a romantic. He got down on bended knee in her Beverly Hills home to propose with rose petals all over the ground spelling out, “WILL YOU MARRY ME?”

Kardashian, who has been dating Humphries for only six months, told People: “I didn’t expect this at all. I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.”

Humphries gave Kardashian a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring.

“Kris really didn’t want a big celebration, but he had jokingly told my mom he’d be fine if there were mini-horses there. Later that night at the party, my mom brought out two mini-horses, covered in glitter, for us! It was hysterical!”

No date set for the nuptials.

Season seven American Idol winner David Cook performed a cover of the 1985 song by Simple Minds, Don’t You (Forget About Me) at the American Idol season ten finale Tuesday May 24, 2011. The song has also been the boot song once the contestants were voted off all season.

Cook’s new album, This Loud Morning, will hit the stores June 28 with his first single being The Last Goodbye. Below are some pictures of Cook from his recent visit to the set of Extra at The Grove in Los Angeles for an interview with Renee Bargh.

The youngest American Idol match up took place Tuesday May 24 when 16-year old Lauren Alaina and 17-year old Scotty McCreery went country head-to-country head for the Idol crown.
Lauren blew out her vocal chords during rehearsals today but after the coaches drugged her up, she said she was ready to sing. Scotty won the coin toss and like the gentleman that he is, he deferred to Lauren. Lauren chose to go second. 
Favorite Song of the Season Round:

Lauren chose to re-sing Flat on the Floor. Her voice did not sound any worse for the wear. She strutted down the stairs confidently shaking her hips and was full of sass. Watch her performance video below:


Celebrity Pick Round:
Lauren’s personal idol, Carrie Underwood, picked Maybe It Was Memphis for Lauren to sing. Carrie picked a great song for Lauren to showcase her voice. Watch her performance video below:

Finalists’ Singles Round:
Should Lauren win, her first single will be Like My Mother Does. During the performance, Ryan Seacrest escorted Alaina to her mother in the audience. The performance received a huge standing ovation from the audience and I am sure it will pull at the heartstrings of every mother watching at home to vote for Lauren. Watch her performance video below:

The youngest American Idol match up took place Tuesday May 24 when 16-year old Lauren Alaina and 17-year old Scotty McCreery went head-to-head for the Idol crown.

Scotty won the coin toss and like the gentleman that he is, he deferred to Lauren. Lauren chose to go second. So, Scotty opened the competition and sang Gone to represent his favorite song of the season.

Favorite Song of the Season Round:

Scotty worked the crowd like a seasoned pro on his replay rendition of Gone, starting his performance in the aisle and high-fiving the audience as he walked towards the stage.


Celebrity Pick Round:
Scotty’s personal idol, George Strait, picked Check Yes or No for Scotty and Scotty nailed it like every other sing he’s sang this season.


Finalists’ Singles Round:
Should Scotty win, his first single will be Love You This Big.  Jimmy Iovine introduced McCreery’s single, praising his confidence.  As usual, the Idol’s first single does not suit the contestant’s voice.

Watch the performance video below:

Mark-Paul Gosselaar & Mario Lopez Have Mini ‘Saved By The Bell’ Reunion (Exclusive Photos/Video)

SPOTTED: My and probably your teenage crush, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, was at The Grove in Los Angeles May 23, 2011, looking better than ever, for an interview with fellow Saved By The Bell and Bayside High hottie, Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater).

During the interview which will soon air in full on Extra, Mark-Paul said people are surprised when they meet him and realize the platinum blonde hair he sported as Zach Morris on the popular 1990’s sitcom wasn’t real and that he is in fact a brunette.

Mario asked him to recount the funniest rumor he’e ever heard about himself and he said he once heard that he had died. Mario said, “Ya, I heard that too!” Mark-Paul said people believed it until the rumor morphed into a story about him dying on his bike with Screech riding on his back…people then apparently didn’t think something that silly could happen. Speaking of Screech (played by Dustin Neil Diamond), watch the video below to see what Mark-Paul says about his old cast mate (something about locking him up in lockers): Continue reading →

Taylor Swift is one smart cookie! And charitable too. She raised $750,000 for victims of last month’s tornado in Alabama with a simple idea: Sell tickets to a rehearsal of her upcoming tour.

On May 21, the singer/songwriter allowed 13,000 of her fans to watch her dress rehearse for the real thing. Swift told Access Hollywood: “It was so wonderful. It was almost like playing our first show because were playing for 13,000 people and it’s the whole show the way we would do the last dress rehearsal and I’m just so excited that we got to raise $750,000 dollars for the victims of the tornadoes.”
Taylor, GREAT IDEA! DO IT AGAIN! BRILLIANT!
