Their daughter is due to arrive in September. -- Rosemary Young

An American Idol Contestant Is Already On the Record Charts Before Winning American Idol!

Adam Lambert Tops Chart, Crystal Bowersox Enters Adam Lambert may not be gaining any more spins on the radio, but thanks to an "American Idol" airplay chart lacking any new singles, the singer is still at the top with "Whataya Want From Me." Kris Allen is also still at #2 with "Live Like We're Dying," and there is currently very little in terms of competition to shake things up. However, what ended up being a surprise on the chart was the emergence of Crystal Bowersox, who managed to enter the chart even though she is still on this season. The current "Idol" favorite managed to have her song "Holy Toledo" (which she recorded before the show) played on a local Ohio radio station 16 times in the past week -- which was enough to rank her #90 on the chart. Adam Lambert will have another chance to soon shoot his way up the charts, as his next single ("If I Had You") is expected to be released at some point over the coming weeks.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: What Was That Rat On Pam Anderson's Head?

On last night's Dancing With the Stars...


The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka had his spray tan on and shirt unbuttoned to the navel for the first samba. Bruno said he didn't "wiggle correctly."
Olympian Evan Lysacek got down-and-dirty carnival-style for his samba. Len called is Evan's worst dance to date.
Niecy Nash turned in a tango that was one of her best routines to date. Carrie Ann praised her for pulling off a lift.
Erin Andrews and her shirtless partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy did a samba. Carrie Ann said she loved every shimmy, shake and step.
NFL star Chad Ochocinco did a tango that Carrie Ann called "sensual."
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger did an even sexier samba. Carrie Ann loved it. Len called it a "hodgepodge of sexy moves and gyrations."
Pamela Anderson did a naughty tango in a dress that barely contained her pam-pams. Bruno cried, "You're not just dancing, you're living the part."
SWING DANCE!!!


Each couple will get points added to their score based on their standing in the marathon. The last couple standing will get 10 points. They all try to figure out a way to get there. Chad even has a football chart where he plans to take away Niecy’s food. Everyone else plans to add as many lifts and tricks as possible.
I liked it, but it was hard to keep track of since it kept cutting from couple to couple. I did notice Chad took his shirt off and has a very good-looking body.
7th place—Jake and Chelsie—total 25 points
6th—Niecy and Louis— total 26 points
5th—Evan and Anna—total 27 points
4th---Chad and Cheryl---total 31 points
3rd---Pamela and Damian—total 30 points
2nd---Erin and Maks—total 34 points
1st Nicole and Derek—total 36 points

BRET MICHAELS: Remains in Critical Condition

Poison frontman, solo singer and reality star Bret Michaels remains in intensive care in critical condition after he was hospitalized late Thursday after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem). This comes a little more than a week after he underwent an emergency appendectomy. A post on his website says, "At this point Bret remains in intensive care in critical condition. He is under 24 hour doctor care and supervision. We are hopeful that further tests will locate the source of the bleeding, which has still not been located. As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc. will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal." Michaels, who is 47 and suffers from diabetes, is starring in this season's Celebrity Apprentice, Sunday nights on NBC, where he has raised $100,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Association. Donald Trump, host of Celebrity Apprentice, says, "He's a great competitor and champion and I hope he will be fine." --Sal Cirrincione

UPDATE: Bret Michaels Stabilized

Bret Michaels is awake, in good spirits and talking ... TMZ has learned. Ambre Lake, the Season 2 winner of "Rock of Love," tells TMZ she's spoken with people who are close to Bret who say he's stabilized and conscious. Lake's tale matches another contestant who has also spoken with Bret's bandmates. We're told the next 24 to 48 hours are critical -- Bret will be closely monitored. tmz

Dakota Fanning - Fanning Still Fussing Over Prom Night

Actress DAKOTA FANNING has a bigger dilemma than what to wear to the Oscars - who to take to the high school prom. The Twilight Saga: New Moon star, who attends private academy Campbell Hall in California, has revealed her school's big night is coming up in a few weeks, and she still can't decide whether or not to attend. She says, "It's coming up. It's on everybody's minds... I'm not sure yet (if I'll be going). "I don't have a date. I'm trying to decide if I wanna go with someone or just go with friends. Sometimes it's easier to just go with friends." Contact Music

Should All The Judges On "Idol" Be Replaced?

Forget about voting contestants off American Idol. An original producer of the series thinks it's time to give all the judges the boot, too. "I think over the last couple of years, the show has been about the judges, whether it was Kara [DioGuardi] or Paula [Abdul] leaving or Ellen DeGeneres joining," Nigel Lythgoe told us last night at BritWeek 2010's Save the Children and Virgin Unite benefit in Beverly Hills. "It shouldn't be about the judges," he said. "It should be about the young talent. And once we get that into focus, the show will be successful again." And yes, Lythgoe already has an idea of who he thinks should replace the trio… His wish list includes Usher, Elton John and the return of Ms. Adbul, Lythgoe told Zap2it yesterday. "Usher knows exactly what's going on at the moment," Lythgoe explained to us. "Elton John knows about being a star [and] he's capable of knowing what's needed. And Paula is the heart. She's always been the heart. Paula has always cared about everyone." Meanwhile, Lythgoe says he's not bothered by a recent opinion poll that lists his fellow So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy as one of the worst television judges of all time. "I'm not worried about it," he said. "Mary Murphy is a fabulous judge. She knows what she's talking about and she speaks from the heart." We couldn't agree more. Mary can ride our hot tamale train anytime! E! Online, Marc Malkin

Dancing With The Homewreckers?!

Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel is rumored to be training for a spot on the next season of Dancing With The Stars at the Delgado Dance Studios in Las Vegas. Owner Tony Delgado said he is instructing Rachel, but he couldn't confirm it was for DWTS. Delgado worked with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Penn Jillette and Holly Madison before they apeared on the show. Rachel was referred to Delgado by Mario Lopez who was the runner-up in the third season! Delgado says of Rachel: She's normal and down to earth. She's really passionate about dancing. I told her I don't want this to be a publicity thing. I told her she had to take me serious or I'd have given her to another instructor. She's very dedicated." It's always a publicity thing with Rachel! And we certainly don't want to see her skanky ass twirling about the dance floor! perezhilton

Larry King's Wife Married Him For The Money??? Duh!

C'mon! We like the guy, but he is ancient! He's old enough to be her dad! And no one looks hot in suspenders! Sources are suggesting that Shawn Southwick may have had other ideas when marrying Larry King. In fact, one of Larry's former wives is the first to point the finger at Shawn, accusing her of marrying Larry for his money! Julia Alexander-King insists that "everyone outside of Larry knew what Shawn's designs were going in," and that many people tried to warn him, but he wouldn't hear of it. Paying up for that dearly now, huh Larry? Course, if it turns out you didn't have an affair and she did, then all bets are off! perezhilton

Larry King Isn't Out Of The Woods Yet! Maybe not all is well in paradise after all! Although they've been spotted together and the divorce proceedings have appeared to cool down, Larry King still hasn't returned to his Beverly Hills mansion! Sources claim that King is shacked up in The Peninsula Hotel while Shawn Southwick has the kiddies at home! The insider says: “Larry has not been living back at the house. Shawn is still there with the boys going about her normal routine. Her parents are living there as well. They might be making noises that they are trying to patch-up their marriage but with Shawn and her family staying at the house and Larry living elsewhere the signs don’t look that great for a re-union.” Why so shy about the divorce, Larry? You'd think that after six other failed marriages he wouldn't feel the need to try and cover up all the shady deets! perezhilton

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind the Curtain!

Robert Downey, Jr. As The Wizard In "Oz" Prequel?

It could happen, according to the LA Times, which reported last night that Disney has put a Wizard of Oz prequel on “a fast track of sorts” with Robert Downey Jr. in talks to star as the wizard, and Sam Mendes (who just got his plate cleared now that Bond 23 is on hold indefinitely) and Adam Shankman (Hairspray) on the short list to direct. (Production Weekly also reported Mendes and Downey on its Twitter feed, and Perez Hilton reported on Friday that Downey and Johnny Depp are in the running for the starring role.) The project, scripted by Whole Nine Yards writer Mitchell Kapner based on L. Frank Baum’s Oz books, tells the pre-Emerald City story of the Great and Powerful Oz, back when he was a charlatan in Kansas working in a traveling circus. The Times describes the wizard as ”a more dark and complex character in the Roth/Kapner version than the desperate and doddering wizard of the MGM musical (played by Frank Morgan) would suggest.” The Times also points out that the role seems perfect for Downey — and I must concur. Like the musical Wicked did for the Witch of the West, a movie prequel telling the Wizard’s backstory actually sounds pretty cool. How did a man from Kansas become a giant floating head in a back room of a magical city run by little people? He claimed to be a “a very good man…just a very bad wizard,” but from what we saw of him, we also know he was kind of a huckster, smoke and mirrors personified. So who is the man behind the man behind the curtain? The more I think of it, the more I want to see Downey fill in the many blanks surrounding this mysterious, iconic character (who, by the way, scared the hell out of me as a kid). Who else thinks this could be good? And of the two directors reportedly in the running, which do you prefer: Mendes or Shankman? Entertainment Weekly

DANCING WITH THE STARS: Kate Finally Goes!

After a disastrous few weeks on the Dancing With the Stars floor, Kate Gosselin finally got the boot. On the previous night, Kate did a foxtrot that Carrie Ann Inaba said was like "the Charlie Brown teacher. It never becomes a formed sentence or a formed move." After the elimination, Kate tearfully told us she was "was scared to death most of the time" on the show. During her farewell dance, she mouthed to the camera that she loves us.

Maxwell took the stage to perform "Fist Full of Tears." Repeat offender Adam Corolla returned to crack wise about the previous night's performances. Fame star Debbie Allen joined the Macy's Stars of Dance tribute to Broadway. Pamela Anderson, who last failed to impress with a quickstep set to "Nine to Five," was in the bottom two with Kate.

AMERICAN IDOL!

On last night's American Idol...


Alicia Keys was the mentor and the theme was inspiration in honor of Idol Gives Back week.
Casey James was first up with his electric guitar for Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop." Alicia advised him to give it lots of personality. Randy said the performance was good, but not great.
Lee DeWyze tried to inspire with Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer." Kara said it was his shining moment. Simon said it was sincere, emotional and brilliant.
Tim Urban hit some sour notes on "Better Days" by the Goo Goo Dolls. Ellen apologized for not liking the performance.
Aaron Kelly went big with R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly." Kara said he hit his stride.
Siobhan Magnus took on the Whitney/Mariah duet "When You Believe." Randy said she picked the night's toughest song, and only did okay. Kara and Simon agreed.
Michael Lynche had his acoustic guitar for Chad Kroeger's "Hero." Simon said it didn't quite gel.
Crystal Bowersox was without her trademark guitar for a tearful rendition of "People Get Ready." Simon said it was indeed inspirational. Crystal told Ryan the tears came when she saw her dad in the audience.

BROOKS AND DUNN: Boot Scootin' Special

Country's biggest stars performed at Monday night's ACM Presents Brooks and Dunn taping in Las Vegas, but R&B singer Jennifer Hudson's rendition of "Believe" brought down the house. Afterwards, Ronnie Dunn asked her, "Girl, have you heard you?" George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert covered the duo's songs for the special, which will air May 23rd on CBS. -- Tammy Ragusa

DANCING WITH THE STARS: Top 8 Move to Movies!

It was music from the movies on last night's Dancing With the Stars...
Niecy Nash did a bosom-bouncing jive to "La Bamba" that ended with a kiss on judge Len Goodman's forehead. Bruno said, "There was so much going on the upper decks, it was very difficult to look at anything else."
Chad Ochocinco did a quickstep to The Jungle Book's "The Bare Necessities." Carrie Ann called it uneven.
Erin Andrews did a Pulp Fiction-inspired jive. Carrie Ann said Erin was ahead of the beat. Bruno said her timing was fine.
The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka went down to underwear for a cha cha with a Risky Business theme. Carrie Ann said she loved "the whole package."
Pamela Anderson channeled Dolly Parton for a quickstep set to "Nine to Five" that went atop a table. Len said the routine had too many props.
Kate Gosselin, who was irritating in rehearsal as usual, did a faltering foxtrot to the '80s classic "Don't You Forget About Me." Bruno called the Breakfast Club routine "catatonic."
Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger did a tango to "Pretty Woman" that earned a standing ovation. Len proclaimed it "perfection."
Evan Lysacek showed us a sexy rumba that was inspired by Armageddon. Bruno said it was superb.

Simon Cowell To Marry Four Times This Year

The music mogul is preparing to tie the knot with his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy in different countries, according to his brother Tony Cowell. Tony told Real Radio: "My mum is in Los Angeles sorting out the lovebirds. Mum's final words to me before she flew off to Los Angeles were, 'Last year he said he was never, never, never going to get married and this year he's getting married four times, once in Brighton, once in Los Angeles, once in Barbados on a yacht and once in Hollywood.' " It was previously revealed Simon, 50, was planning to have at least two ceremonies, one in England and one in Los Angeles to please Mezhgan's family. A source said: "He's finding this marriage stuff stressful. He's used to making up his own mind and now has to factor in other people's feelings." Simon's ex-girlfriend Sinitta has also claimed the 'American Idol' judge was going to have a Salvador Dali-themed wedding. The 'So Macho' singer has put forward suggestions for decor at the wedding, including the Spanish surrealist painter's famous melting clocks from his best-known work 'The Persistence of Memory'. She said: "What Simon wants, Simon gets. The theme of the wedding is Miracles Do Happen - Simon getting married just goes to prove it. "It will be a pretty surreal do - Salvador Dali-inspired. There'll be angels and all sorts everywhere.

What Does Faith Hill & Pam Anderson Have in Common?

Remember that white sheet dress Pam Anderson was wearing on DWTS last week...the one that hung off the shoulder? Faith was wearing the same sheet dress...except she actually strapped it to both shoulders and it looked classy!

A Country Singer Hooks Up With a NFL Quaterback!

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers rolled through a hot Vegas club last night ... but he appeared to be more into the country music scene ... as in "Lady Antebellum" singer Hillary Scott. TMZ obtained photos of Rodgers gettin' all sorts of cozy with Scott inside Vanity nightclub at the Hard Rock Hotel last night. Spies inside the club tell us they looked pretty "coupley" -- but it's unclear if the two are actually an item. Still, for Rodgers -- that's a Pro Bowl move right there.

'American Idol' Front-Runner Walks!

TMZ has learned "American Idol" contestant Crystal Bowersox threw in the towel a little more than two weeks ago and was walking off the show, when Ryan Seacrest did some fast-talking and changed her mind. It went down in a parking lot after an "A.I." show. In front of several people, Crystal told Ryan she couldn't handle the competition.... she said she hated the attention and said to Seacrest, "What's the point?" Crystal said she was going back to Ohio to be with her family, whom she missed terribly. Ryan told Crystal that being on "Idol" was like starting a business, and if she won she'd get a recording contract and become a millionaire. Seacrest sealed the deal by telling her, "The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money so I could buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house." Seacrest out ... Crystal, not out.

AMERICAN IDOL: DOUBLE ELIMINATION!

On last night's American Idol... Andrew Garcia was the first to learn it was the end of the line and sang one last time. We saw some footage of Idol alum Elliott Yamin and Kara in Africa to get us ready for next week's Idol Gives Back charity event. The week's mentor, Adam Lambert, took the stage to perform "What Do You Want From Me" in a metallic suit jacket and slick-backed hair in honor of Elvis week. Idol alum Brooke White did a duet of "If I Can Dream" with Justin Gaston (Miley's ex-boyfriend and star of the upcoming reality show If I Can Dream). Michael Lynch, who was voted off once and then saved, was in the bottom two with Katie Stevens, but this time it was Katie who got the boot. Head to TV Drops for additional audio.

New York City Ballet's principal ballerina Tiler Peck and the violin duo Nuttin' But Stringz did a hip-hop inspired routine.

AMERICAN IDOL: The Top 9 Do Elvis Songs!

Adam Lambert returned to American Idol to help the gang nail Elvis songs in Las Vegas. Once they hit the stage... Crystal Bowersox came out big with her guitar for a bluesy rendition of "Saved." Ellen said she's tired of telling Crystal how great she is. Andrew Garcia wore a dark suit for a down-tempo version of "Hound Dog." Simon said it was lazy. Tim Urban had his guitar and sat on a stool for a gushy take on "Can't Help Falling in Love." Simon proclaimed that Tim has gone from "zero to hero." Lee DeWyze had his guitar for "A Little Less Conversation." Randy praised his energy. Aaron Kelly tried to rock "Blue Suede Shoes." Simon said it was old-fashioned and kind of karaoke. Siobhan Magnus, the most Lambert-like singer, hit her signature high notes on "Suspicious Minds." Kara said she was confused by Siobhan's wild vocal variations. Mike Lynche took "In the Ghetto" to the edge of the stage to connect with the fans that almost sent him home last week. Randy said the song was sleepy, but the vocals were hot. Katie Stevens did a version of "Baby What You Want Me to Do" that Simon found loud and annoying. Casey James went bluesy with "Lawdy Miss Claudy." Simon said it was forgettable. Head to TV Drops for additional audio.

A 1st Ever Tonight On American Idol!

Adam Lambert 'American Idol' return is tonight PhotoPut on your black eyeliner and get ready for Adam Lambert's return to "American Idol."I’m already wearing my black eyeliner. (Really, I pretty much wear it every day.) The Glambert, Adam Lambert, will return to "American Idol" as a mentor tonight. I still can’t find what theme the contestants will have to sing to, but whatever it is, it will be more entertaining with Lambert involved. See Tunes on Tuesdays for a review of Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me," which he'll perform Wednesday night on "Idol." Some quick predictions: I expect he will tell Siobhan how to make the most of her big notes. Heck, the big notes made Lambert famous. It also would be good if he gave young Aaron Kelly some style suggestions. While there have been some people questioning why Lambert was chosen as the first "Idol" alum to come back as a mentor, I haven’t questioned it at all. He’s got the biggest personality and a record of performing in musicals before he became last year’s runner-up. Speaking of last year, Kris Allen, who bested Lambert in last season’s finale, will be on the road this summer with another former “Idol” singer, the chart-topping Chris Daughtry. Chris and Kris will be making an Aug. 6 stop at Hersheypark. Daughtry has been busting the Billboard charts since he was prematurely bumped off “Idol” season 5. Also coming so close but yet so far was season six’s beatboxin’ Blake Lewis. His single “Heartbreak on Vinyl” has gone No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play Chart. Since I’m trying to be careful to avoid Lambert overload, let’s check out Blake’s tune:

Conan Shocker! O'Brien Disses FOX, Heads To TBS!

Well, we didn't see this one coming. After months of all-but-assumed reports that Conan O'Brien would be taking his late-night talents to Fox this fall comes the surprise announcement that the dethroned Tonight Show host will instead be moving to basic cable, launching his new late-night talk show on TBS in November. Which means the superstation just got a little more super. "The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November!" O'Brien tweeted this morning. "The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show." "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable," he added in a slightly more official statement. "My plan is working perfectly." Well, he'll certainly be keeping some funny basic cable company. TBS also announced that O'Brien's untitled show will air four nights a week, Mondays through Thursdays, at 11 p.m. While it may seem an odd choice, it's not unprecedented: George Lopez's Lopez Tonight late-night chatfest already airs on the cable net, but will get pushed back to midnight to accommodate O'Brien's new venture. As for the irony in O'Brien's show pushing back the airtime of one of his late-night colleagues, Lopez certainly doesn't seem to mind. "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez said. "It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy." No exact start date for the show has yet been set, but it's expected to debut sometime in November (now that's what we call a sweeps stunt). As for those Fox talks, Variety reported that negotiations stalled over concern from affiliates, who bank a pretty buck off the syndicated sitcoms that currently run in the 11 p.m. hour. In the meantime, Team CoCo fans know full well that they can catch O'Brien on his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour, which kicks off, not so coincidentally, tonight in Eugene, Ore.

DWTS...Who Tripped, Who Scored and Who Was Wearing Granny Panties!

Dancing with the Stars April 12th Scores, Judges Voting The Dancing With the Stars April 12 scores and voting is in from the judges. The Dancing With the Stars April 12th scores were not good for Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani, but that has come to be an expectation of their dances. This week on the show the couples either performed a Tango or a Rumba, and with a shift in the scoring method, the judge's were giving out both technical and performance scores to each of the couples. There are just nine couples left on this season of Dancing With the Stars, and the April 12 scores from the judges will be added to fan voting on Monday night to come up with which couple will be eliminated next. It was an up and down night for the couples on the Dancing With the Stars April 12th episode. The show was led off by Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who performed the first tango of the night, and showed how the different scoring methods would work on the show. They received an 18 out of 30 in technique and a 21 out of 30 for their performance. Only getting 39 out of 60 to start the show left a lot of room for the other couples to succeed. The stars of the night were Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya, who put together a very nice combination of scores that totaled 52 out of 60. Watch Pam Dance in Her Granny Panties!

One Of the Designing Women Dies!

Dixie Carter, the tough-love mother hen on Designing Women who became the mother-in-law from hell on Desperate Housewives, died Saturday at age 70. Her publicist says she passed away in the morning but gave no further details. "This has been a terrible blow to our family," husband and frequent costar Hal Holbrook said in a statement. "We would appreciate everyone understanding that this is a private family tragedy." Aside from playing the straight-shooting Julia Sugarbaker on CBS' Designing Women opposite Delta Burke, Annie Potts and Jean Smart, Carter appeared in such series as Family Law and Diff'rent Strokes and scored an Emmy nomination for a guest stint on Desperate Housewives as Marcia Cross' cantankerous mother-in-law, Gloria Hodge. Carter was also an accomplished singer and Broadway star, whose credits included Thoroughly Modern Millie, Pal Joey and Master Class. She and Holbrook began dating after working together in the 1980 TV movie The Killing of Randy Webster and married four years later. It was the third matrimonial go-round for both, and it proved enduring both off- and onscreen. He had a recurring role as her boyfriend on Designing Women and the two starred together in what was her final project, the 2009 film That Evening Sun.

Oprah and John Tesh Love Affair!

According to the New York Daily News, which obtained an excerpt from Kitty Kelley's soon-to-be-released tell-all, Winfrey and Tesh, the ex-Entertainment Tonight host, had a romantic rendezvous while living in Tennessee in the 1970s. But Tesh abandoned Winfrey in the middle of the night after caving to "social pressures" on interracial couples, which injected tension into their relationship, Kelley has claimed. "He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn't take it anymore," a Tesh ex reportedly told Kelley. "He walked out in the middle of the night... He told me he later felt very guilty about it." The highly anticipated biography, which is due out on Tuesday, also includes the claim that Oprah’s mother, Vernita, has to call the mogul’s personal assistant and leave a message before speaking with her daughter. Winfrey spokeswoman Angela DePaul told the Daily News the television talk show maven was not commenting Radaronline

Why Was Rocker Brett Michaels Crying On Celebrity Apprentice Last Night?

The Celebrity Apprentice 2010 had a challenge with Right Guard tonight. The men's team is down to 4 after so many recent losses. The women have 6 members left because they've been on a bit of a winning streak. Sharon Osborn was sick, so she wasn't in the challenge. Also, Cindi Lauper was at the White House meeting President Barack Obama. Each team received an NBA star to help them with their commercial ideas. The teams tasks were to create a 30 second tv commercial and a 10 second internet commercial targeting the Right Guard audience. While the men were in the war room, Bret Michaels came up with a great concept that the team was behind. As they were about to leave the war room, Brett Michaels recieved a text to call his daughter. When he called his daughter, Bret Michaels recieved the news that his daughter, Raine, was being tested for diabetes. Bret Michaels has diabetes, and he was devastated at the idea that his daughter could suffer diabetes like he does. During the episode, Bret Michaels found out that his daughter has diabetes. He cried over it. He was very broken up about it. Gather.com

Shania Gets Her Own TV Show!

Shania Twain Gets Her Own TV Show First came heartbreak, then a second chance at love. Next up for country superstar Shania Twain? Her own TV series. Twain, 44, will star on "Why Not? With Shania Twain," an hour-long series premiering on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. "The show will follow [Twain] as she begins her climb back to the top, a personal journey filled with risk, revelations and unexpected adventures," said a statement from the network. This won't be Twain's first foray in front of the camera since her marriage to Robert "Mutt" Lange fell apart in May 2008 over his relationship with her then-friend -- and employee -- Marie-Anne Thiébaud. The country singer has posted several personal videos on her Web site in recent months, chronicling her world travels, fun times with her son Eja, 8, and her blossoming romance with her boyfriend Frédéric, who is Thiébaud's ex-husband. In February, Twain, who has recently been spotted in New York, posted a video -- shot in Canada by Thiébaud -- in which she visits a radio station, jokes about her junk-food cravings and the effect of the cold weather on her skin, and banters with her Swiss-born beau, whose French-inflected voice can be heard throughout. Last August, she posted a video travelogue documenting a skydiving trip in Florida, a camel-riding adventure in Egypt and a bike ride through a London park with Thiébaud, whom in an accompanying letter she called her "most constant companion." An air date for "Why Not? With Shania Twain" has yet to be announced. People.com

Tim McGraw is planning a special show next month to express gratitude to members of the military and their families. The concert is part of the PGA Championship tournament's Military Appreciation Day in Jacksonville, Fla., on May 5. That's the day before Tim's Southern Voice tour stops at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. "I can't begin to sympathize with the immense sacrifice that our U.S. Military and their families make on a daily basis," Tim says. "I'm proud to be a part of THE PLAYERS Military Appreciation Day and hope that a few songs for these brave men and women will help them to enjoy themselves at the tournament and understand all of our deepest appreciation for their service." Any active duty, retired or reserve military personnel that want to attend can order complimentary tickets through Ticketmaster. Ticket holders must also present military ID to gain admission to the show. Kids ages 18 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by a ticket holder. This is just the latest way Tim has reached out to those in the military and their families. The country star teamed with corporate partner Outback Steakhouse for several promotions, including sales of an exclusive Tim McGraw t-shirt to raise money for Operation Homefront that supports active military, veterans, wounded warriors and their families. For more information, go to the Operation Homefront website. In addition, Tim donates a portion of all concert ticket sales to the Neighbor's Keepers Fund, an organization he founded with wife Faith Hill, which helps various community and children's charities.

American Idol Was Weird...Beatles, Bagpipes and a Didgeridoo!

On last night's American Idol... Sir Paul wished the Top 9 well via video as they took on the songs of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Aaron Kelly did "The Long and Winding Road." Simon said it was boring. Katie Stevens did "Let it Be." Ellen said it was amazing and Simon concurred. Andrew Garcia had on some retro-wear to do "Can't Buy Me Love." Simon said he seemed like a wedding singer. Big Michael Lynche had a big orchestra for an up tempo version of "Eleanor Rigby." Randy said he could hear that version on an album. Simon wasn't as impressed. Crystal Bowersox, who was a bit under the weather, had her guitar for a bluesy rendition of "Come Together." Kara said it was one of her favorite performances. Tim Urban was playing to his tween-girl fans with a hair-flipping rendition of "All My Lovin'." The crowd went wild when Simon had to admit that it wasn't that bad. Casey James did John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." Ellen said it was soulful and heartfelt. Siobhan Magnus did a rendition of "Across the Universe" that she tearfully told us was for her sisters. Simon said he wasn't wild about it -- and got heckled from the audience. The heckler was brought to the front to get a hug from Siobhan. Lee DeWyze was joined by a bagpipe player in a kilt for "Hey Jude." Randy loved the stunt. Kara saw some off moments, but loved it overall.

Tim McGraw is Doing 2 Shows In T-Town!

Country music singer and actor Tim McGraw will throw the ceremonial first pitch at ONEOK Field for the Tulsa Drillers' sold-out opening game Thursday. "We are very fortunate to have Tim McGraw agree to do this. He's a busy man," Drillers owner Chuck Lamson said Monday. McGraw is scheduled to play a concert at the BOK Center on Thursday. Lamson said it is fitting that McGraw throw the pitch because he has a baseball connection — his father, Tug McGraw. Tug McGraw was a premier relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. He died in 2004. In the 1980 World Series, Tug McGraw earned the final out against Kansas City with a strikeout, giving the Phillies their first world championship. He was twice selected to play in the MLB All-Star game, and he is in the New York Mets Hall of Fame and on the Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Fame. Tim McGraw attended Northeast Louisiana University on a baseball scholarship. When Lamson and others realized that Tim McGraw would be in Tulsa the same night as the Drillers' opening game and debut of the new downtown ballpark, officials began efforts to see if McGraw would throw the pitch. "When it was all said and done, it was some Louisiana connections that made this happen," Lamson said, pointing to Mike Neal, CEO and president of the Tulsa Metro Chamber, and Paul Wilkening, former chief deputy for the Tulsa County commissioners. Neal's wife went to college with Tim McGraw at Northeast Louisiana, and later the children of Neal and Tim McGraw competed in sports against each other. Wilkening was a fraternity brother of McGraw's in college. Neal said it's a huge plus to have the superstar in town. "Albeit, we would prefer to not have the opening night of the Drillers in competition with a Tim McGraw concert, but everything worked out ideally with Tim's willingness to participate in the ceremonial first pitch," he said. "I'm sure there will be a lot of us start out at the ballgame and move over to Tim's concert later," Neal said. "That just shows how our two venues can complement one another. Downtown Tulsa is certainly going to be hopping Thursday night." Lamson said he is excited to have such "a great guy bring a blend of country music and baseball to really kick off this new era of Drillers baseball." "All we hope for is that the weather gods look kindly on us," he said. "Even though the weather prediction is good, everyone knows that in Oklahoma, anything can happen." The game is set to start at 7:05 p.m. The $39.2 million ONEOK Field is part of a major $60 million redevelopment of the downtown area. Of the $60 million, $30 million is from private donations, $25 million is from a 30-year annual downtown property assessment fee, and $5 million is from the Drillers' lease.

Death Threats at Dancing With the Stars!

Following death threats to Erin Andrews, security has been beefed at the Dancing With the Stars set!

Meanwhile.... On last night's Dancing With the Stars... Evan Lysacek and Anna were up first with a quickstep from the musical Chicago. Carrie Ann said it was twinkling and energetic. Buzz Aldrin and Ashly did a war-themed waltz to "It's a Wonderful World." Bruno said the return of the soldier was more like the return of the king. The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka and Chelsey walked like Egyptians. Bruno proclaimed them "Indiana Jake" and the "Queen of the Nile." Niecy Nash and Louis waltzed to a story of interracial love in the '60s. Bruno said they stumbled at the start. Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl did a paso-doble about a man seducing a woman. Carrie Ann proclaimed it perfect. Pamela Anderson and Damian did a bullfighting paso-doble. Bruno said she shined as a Gypsy queen. Aiden Turner and Edyta did a quickstep that Len felt was a bit too careful. Kate Gosselin and Tony did a paso-doble to the song "Paparazzi" to reflect Kate's real life. Carrie Ann said it was odd and hard to watch. Nicole Scherzinger and Derek were slacking sailors for a quickstep. Carrie Ann saw technical problems, but said she wants front-row seats if they take the show on the road.

Jesse James Has Left Rehab.

Jesse James bolted from Sierra Tucson rehab after Sandra Bullock refused to take his phone call, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. Jesse desperately wants to put the marriage back together and his lawyer recently described him as a “broken man.” He went into rehab for sex addiction treatment on his own, without Sandra requesting he get help. But when she refused to take his call, he took off, a source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. And that has Bullock worried – because she doesn’t want to see him and she doesn’t want him trying to get face-to-face. But Bullock has a top security company, the source said, and it would be very difficult for James to get near her if she doesn’t want him around. On Sunday James was looking for a group therapy meeting the source said, adding that his problems go beyond sex addiction. Star Magazine first reported Jesse left rehab and was staying with a friend. RadarOnline.com learned the trigger that caused Jesse to go AWOL was his inability to get Sandra to do what he wants. “He wants the marriage back,” the source said. “And then she refused to take one of his calls from the rehab center and he got furious and left.” It is possible that Jesse will go back into rehab, the source adds, but his behavior is difficult to predict. “He’s told people he’s going back in,” the source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “But right now it’s impossible to predict what he’ll do next.” A spokesperson at the Sierra Tucson refused to “confirm or deny” that James had left the treatment center, when contacted by RadarOnline.com. James' attorney Joe Yanny has not returned repeated calls.
