Real Housewives Teresa Giudice Teaches How To Flip A Table Italian Style (Photos/Video)

SPOTTED: Teresa Giudice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey at The Grove in Los Angeles to surprise host of Extra, Mario Lopez.

Teresa stepped  onto the Extra set bearing a batch of Holy Cannoli Cupcakes for Mario, made from her new Fabulicious!: Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook. And of course, he ate one and loved it!

Mario taught Teresa how to dance (see video below) and Teresa in return taught Mario how to flip a table New Jersey/Italian style — and Mario did great–you can see the video below. Teresa said, “It all comes from the guns. First, you have to bang on the table!” Then, flip!
Teresa spoke about the latest addition to the Housewives cast: Her sister in law, Melissa Gorga who is married to her brother Joe. Teresa said she and her brother were best friends until he got married but things are not so peachy anymore and it just breaks her heart. 
After taping ended, Teresa chatted up with Mario’s girlfriend, Courtney Mazza and gushed over their baby Gia.

Ladies and gents, we have a situation on our hands. Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is suing his papa, Frank Sorrentino because Sorrentino, Sr. has started a website to humiliate his reality show son.

Per TMZ, Mike Sorrentino filed a lawsuit yesterday in a federal Miami court claiming that his father illegally used his name and image to promote TheConfrontationSite.com and is asking the court to put a stop on this ASAP and to get unspecified damages.

Sad day in JerseyLand. But you know what a suit like this does? Other than cause a greater rift in a family? It brings TONS OF attention to a website which may not have garnered much on its own….Bad move Sitch.

Video: Scotty McCreery Is “Ready For Super Stardom”

Scotty McCreery rendered a beautiful, moving and pitch perfect performance of Alan Jackson’s Where Were You? on May 11th’s American Idol.

Listen, I am not a connoisseur of conutry music by any means, but I know a damn good heartfelt performance when I see and hear one, and Scotty, you killed it for me!

The Idol judges agree:

Randy Jackson: “Dude, I think it’s the perfect song choice for where we are as a country. I applaud you for that. You set your mark on this stage this season. You are ready for super stardom and I hope you make it.”

Steven Tyler: “That was beautiful. I ditto what Randy said. Passion…that’s really important. I see it in your eyes.”

Jennifer Lopez: “I’m just in love with you. I can’t help it. What you stand for, what you bring to your music. I can tell you know who you are. I can tell you know what touches other people. It’s the mark of someone who is meant to do this. And I’m glad we’re here to witness it.”

For his second song, he sang a more up-tempo fun song by The Coasters Young Blood. Tyler said it best, “You made Gaga’s yaya go lala. How could you do that?” HUH?

Here is the performance:

Video: Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Mesmerize

Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy placed third on Monday’s (5/16) Dancing with the Stars.

During rehearsals, Kirstie and Maks got into a huge tiff when Kristie admitted she was scared for having to learn three dances this week.

The two quickly made up and for their first performance, they were mesmerizing as they danced the Viennese Waltz to One and Only by Adele.


Bruno Tonioli (9): “Kirstie, set sail beautifully. Like a majestic clipper, riding the waves, going for the American Cup. Well done my darling.” 
Carrie Ann Inaba (9): “I’m impressed. The hold was amazing. You guys were tight. The technique was fantastic. You do something that’s really magical. You bring us into the whole performance. You transform the ballroom stage into something different every time you step out there.”
Len Goodman (9): “The Viennese Waltz is a grueling dance and I honestly thought you’d be a cling on, hanging on to Maks for dear life. But, no! You had beautiful posture. Lovely sweeping movement. Good rotation. You did well. That was a great dance. Well done.”
TOTAL SCORE FOR FIRST DANCE: 27




For their second dance, Kirstie and Maks danced the Paso Doble to White Room by Cream.


Bruno Tonioli (9): “Kirstie, that was not the Paso Doble, it was Dance Trek 12, The Wrath of Kirstie. The fire, the power, erupting volcano. You were going like a force of nature.”
Carrie Ann Inaba (9): “You’re the queen of the Paso Doble. That was fantastic.”
Len Goodman (9): “For me, you’ve had the two toughest dances tonight and you come out and dance fabulous!”

TOTAL SCORE FOR SECOND DANCE: 27. TOTAL SCORE FOR THE NIGHT, 54, GOOD FOR THIRD PLACE.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Admits To Fathering A Love Child

WOW – didn’t see this one coming! I am not really surprised that this happened, but am shocked that it took us ten years to find out about it. Talk about a well-kept State secret!

Only a week after announcing separation from his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger has now come forward and admitted to fathering a love child ten years ago with a former unnamed house staffer.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Shriver initiated the separation from Schwarzenegger when she learned he had a child with a member of their household staff over a decade ago.

“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said Monday in a statement. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.”

“I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.”

Patricia Baena, the woman who gave birth to the child, had worked in the family’s home for the past 20 years, but retired this past January.

Video: Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas Are Unbeatable On Monday’s DWTS

Last weeks’s number one couple on Dancing with the Stars again reached the top of the leaderboard when Monday’s (5/16) show was all said and done.

But it wasn’t all rosy in rehearsals though for Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas. At one point, Mark told his partner that he was done practicing because he felt like he was lifting a “dead weight.” Harsh. “I am busting my ass,” continued a frustrated Mark and and Chelsea admitted she was not prepared for the level of difficulty this competition requires.

None of that mattered when the duo hit the dance floor. Despite some weird blonde version of a Lucy van Pelt fused with a bit of Snooki hairdo on Chelsea, she looked elegant and beautiful and Mark looked suave in his tuxedo. The judges were a bit mixed:
Carrie Ann Inaba (9): “You are such a fantastic dancer Chelsea but I found that to not be up to par. You were not sharp and I felt that you did not finish your moves. Chelsea, you have to give it your best. Your legs looked bent and not as strong.”
Len Goodman (9): “She’s right, your legs lacked authority. It was clean, it was precise. The lifts were right in character. And as always, you produced a first class performance. Well done.”
Bruno Tonioli (10): “I know exactly how you played it and you played it well. This was like watching Sharon Stone out there. Fascinating, intriguing. You had that kind of basic instinct hint in there [As Bruno subtly reached for his crotch] but it was restrained. You did it with caresses, teasing the body of the man [As Bruno caressed Len. Len got up] leading him to perdition. They did not get it, I got it. And America has it as well. Well done.”
TOTAL SCORE FOR FIRST DANCE: 28

Watch their Argentine Tango below:
For their Rumba, the two danced to Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation, Chelsea’s costume blew me away. She had on a chiffon headdress that dragged on about twenty feet long. Their dance was sensual and moving – simply beautiful.
Carrie Ann (10): “Now, that’s what I wanted to see. Full range of motion, full passion, full commitment to movement. That was a niiice Rumba.”
Len (10): “It had mood, it was very expressive. You had lovely feet and legs which created a natural hip action. Tonight you have fulfilled your potential. You’re there.”
Bruno (10): “It was like a hypnotizing sequence of stunning shapes beautifully linked. It was romantic and erotic but perfectly pitched. It was stunning.”

TOTAL SCORE FOR SECOND DANCE: 30. Add to that the 15 points that this duo got for winning the third dance and Mark and Chelsea ended up in first place with a score of 73.
Here is their Rumba to Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation and Chelsea’s back story video:

Video: Hines Ward & Kym Johnson Overcome Serious Injury & Wardrobe Malfunction To Score Two Perfect 30’s

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson faced seemingly insurmountable odds on Monday night’s Dancing with the Stars after Kym suffered a horrible looking injury in practice only three days before.

But they gracefully overcame those odds by landing not only the first 30 of the season on their first dance, but following that up by playfully earning yet another 30 on their second dance for a perfect score of 60 for the night.

During the performance of the Argentine Tango to the song Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps by Cake, the duo sizzled and their undeniable chemistry sent heatwaves through the dance floor. Both Hines and Kym were in emotional tears when the dance was successfully finished without further incident.

Between the judges’ comments, Kym and Hines kept hugging each other and crying, so much so that Kym nearly had a wardrobe malfunction. Tom Bergeron went to Kym and told her to pop in her right breast which was about to pop out of her costume.

Len Goodman (10): “I was there in the club watching the whole story unfold. I was peeping behind the curtain. We were all there. The floozy coming down the stairs. The legs were like something from the Kama Sutra. Now, that is a Tango.” 

Bruno Tonioli (10): “Every emotion was out there for the taking. The battle of the wills between the man and the woman. Who is going to be the dominant partner. Who is going to relinquish all resistance. Who is gonna end on top. It was like good sex. You never want it to end.” And again, Hines and Kym went back to hugging each other.

Carrie Ann Inaba (10): “I’m just happy you’re OK, cause that was a serious injury [holding back tears]. I am so impressed with the routine and the way you [Kym] danced the routine. But mostly, I am so impressed Hines by the way you partnered her through that routine. Because that routine would have been very dangerous for her and I saw the way you supported her and the connection was just beyond what we ask for in a dance routine. This is someone really taking care of her dance partner out there and the dance was stunning. Excellent job.”
TOTAL SCORE FOR FIRST DANCE: 30

Watch their Argentine Tango And Kym’s ALMOST WARDROBE MALFUNCTION below. 

Hines and Kym were ever so playful on their second dance of the night, the Salsa to Hello by The Cat Empire.
Len (10): “You were steamin and I was beamin. It was just a joyful experience.”
Bruno (10): “Hines, just one sentence can describe you: ‘You are beautiful, man. Beautiful person, great ability, great versatility and supremely watchable.”
Carrie Ann (10): “I can’t even explain how much joy I get when you dance.”

Here is their Salsa to Hello by The Cat Empire and Hines’ back story. TOTAL SCORE FOR SECOND DANCE: 30, landing them in second place for the night.
