Happy Wednesday Kiddies, and better yet, Happy Memorial Day Weekend. 5 Day Weekend for me. That’s what I am talking about my loyal readers.

Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi was crowned the winner of Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday – the second woman to win the series since it began in 2005. The athlete and her dancing partner Mark Ballas beat fellow finalist Jason Taylor to win the sixth season of the hit program – scoring a perfect score for their final jive dance. Chilean hunk Cristian de la Fuente came third in the competition, despite being dogged by an arm injury during the last few weeks of the show. Yamaguchi is the first female to be crowned champion of the celebrity dance show since model Kelly Monaco won the final in the show’s first season in 2005. Good job Guch, you deserve it. Wait didn’t she harass Arnold back on Different Strokes.

 

 

 

Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for creating the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, won’t be singing a happy tune if he spends 25 years behind bars. The mogul was convicted Wednesday in an Orlando, Florida court. He faces four federal charges: two counts of conspiracy, and one each of money laundering and using false statements in a bankruptcy. Prosecutors alleged he swindled more than $300 million from investors and major U.S. banks However, U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp gave Pearlman the opportunity to lessen his sentence by offering Pearlman a one-month of his term for every $1 million he gives to each investor. I always knew he was a little creepy. And by a little creepy I mean he is a total nut job.

 

 

 

Actor Dylan McDermott has filed for divorce from his wife Shiva Rose. The couple has been married for more than 11 years. McDermott and Rose have two children. Yeah, I think his wife is a moron for leaving him. He is kind of on the dreamy side.

 

 

 

Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina shouldn’t be blamed for the actress’ personal problems, the 45-year-old showbiz mom insists. The 21-year-old is trying to rebuild her Hollywood career after a disastrous 2007, dominated by two arrests for driving under the influence, rehab time and an 84-minute jail spell. And Dina insists Lindsay must accept full responsibility for her actions. She says, “She’s 21 years old. We all make mistakes. It’s not a blame game. It’s not her mom’s fault or her friends’ fault It’s the general personal choices you make. And you have to be careful about the choices you make when you’re in the public eye.” I am still waiting for the Lindsay Lohan Sex Tape to be widely released.

 

 

 

The cast of The Simpsons have settled an ongoing pay dispute with TV bosses – landing a major pay rise which will see their earnings rise to $500,000 an episode. The cartoon’s actors, including Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner and Nancy Cartwright, had been embroiled in lengthy negotiations with executives at Fox TV to have their wages increased from $320,000 for the next 22 episode series. But the pay boost has now brought their earnings more in line with live action sitcom stars and guaranteed the show will return for its 20th season. Good for them, even thought I would have held out for more. And made the girl who plays Lisa do dirty things to me, while whispering sexy things in my ear in that voice.

 

 

 

Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, 60, has checked himself into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic — the place Dr. Drew practices — in Pasadena, Calif. It’s the same facility where the reality show “Celebrity Rehab” was filmed. Tyler is getting treatment for substance abuse. Tyler’s reps had no comment. Wait, Steven Tyler has substance abuse problems? What are you going to tell me next, Little Britney is preggers.

 

 

 

And finally, some happy news to report. Jessica Alba tied the knot with the father of her unborn child, Cash Warren, on Monday. The Beverly Hills courthouse’s ceremony room served as the site of the couple’s Monday nuptials, a source tells People Magazine., adding that the bride wore a pony tail and a long blue dress. “She looked happy but nervous,” the source tells the mag. Jessica and Cash arrived at around 11:30 a.m. and applied for a marriage license, and then, some 40 minutes later (after the paperwork was processed) a courthouse staff member married them, according to the mag’s source, who adds that nobody else attended the wedding. Good for them. I just hope they don’t release a sex tape, because she is a horrid actress.

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go. That’s what I’m talking about, yeah I know, don’t start with your witty one-liners about how long I have not updated.

Pregnant actress Jessica Alba plans to be a strict mother to her unborn child – because she doesn’t want her baby to grow up spoiled. The Fantastic Four beauty is due to give birth to her fiancé Cash Warren’s baby this summer, but she has already decided how tough a mom she’s going to be. She tells Fit Pregnancy magazine, “I don’t want to be my child’s best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.” What? No Cheerios? No Television? No Tivo?

 

Lost star Matthew Fox has been sworn to secrecy about the hit show’s plot – as he’s the only cast member who knows how the series will end. The actor, who plays Dr. Jack Shepherd in the show, admits his fellow stars hope he’ll tell them what happens in the final episodes, which are set to be aired on TV in 2010. But Fox insists he will never reveal the plot – because he enjoys keeping his special secret. He says, “Yes, it’s true. They understand I can’t talk about it, but sometimes they’ll ask, just hoping I’ll blurt it out.  “Besides, having a secret is fun.” I think what my 1^st grade teacher use to tell me, says it best. Secrets Secrets are no fun, Secrets Secrets hurt someone.

 Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made it official: they tied the knot on Saturday. The pop singer – who recently released Bittersweet World – and the Fall Out Boy eye-liner wearing rocker got married in an intimate ceremony at her parents’ home in Encino, California. The marriage was officiated by Ashlee’s father, Joe Simpson. “We’re delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends,” a spokesperson for the couple told People. Ashlee’s big sis Jessica – escorted by Tony Romo – was maid of honor. According to the magazine, the 150 guests included Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, as well as Cacee Cobb and Donald Faison. “Now that I’m doing it, I definitely have that big dream. It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it,” Simpson told People on Friday. Wow, how B-List of the whole party. Is anyone else freaked out by her papa officiating the ceremony?

Will Smith is investing more than $1 million in a new school near his California home.  The I Am Legend star has paid $889,000 to lease the Indian Hills High School in Calabasas, after failing to find a suitable institute for his two young children, Jaden, nine and Willow, seven. The actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have, until now, been home schooling the pair. A spokesperson for Smith says of the school – renamed the New Village Academy of Calabasas: “Will is leasing the campus for three years, plus he’ll cover all costs such as utilities. “The academy will be run privately, and will include prekindergarten through grade six.” Um from what I heard he is part of that whole scientology crap.

 

 

Beyonce is reportedly in talks to join the cast of TV hit Desperate Housewives. The singer/actress’ manager father Matthew Knowles has allegedly already landed the “Crazy In Love” hitmaker a guest appearance on the program, but according to reports, he is looking to secure Beyonce a more prominent role. A source in the Knowles camp tells MediaTakeOut.com, “They’ve already agreed to give Beyonce a cameo appearance. But we’re hoping that she could be written in for a recurring role, or possibly even a permanent one.” Eh, I just don’t feel it. She is no Eva Longoria.

 

 

Britney Spears is being tipped for a regular spot on sitcom How I Met Your Mother, by Alyson Hannigan. Rumors have circulated the show’s bosses are considering Spears’ for a permanent turn on the show after ratings soared when she returned for a second stint, playing ditzy receptionist Abby on Monday evening’s episode. Hannigan, who worked with Spears on set, is keen for her to come back full time. She says, “She’s fantastic and just a really, really sweet girl.” And the actress describes the media circus surrounding Spears’ presence: “Well the first episode was a big hoopla. A helicopter followed her into work and people were taking pictures of her off the parking structure. It was pretty crazy. But the second time they moved her trailer to a more isolated location and the paparazzi sort of left her alone I guess. Is the top of her head… is it really that interesting?” Oh please make her a cast regular next season. I love comeback Britney.

 

 

And finally, Shania Twain and her husband, producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, have split, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. “Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage,” spokesman Jason Owen says in a statement. “This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.” Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, married in 1993, just six months after meeting. They are parents to a 6-year-old son, Eva D’Angelo. In 2002, Twain told PEOPLE of her and Lange’s relationship, “Our love has always been based on friendship and compatibility,” though, she added, “we are very different.” So I guess it does not payoff to be in a sexless cult now does it?
