November 17th, 2010 12:27pm EST
DWTS outrage
The comments box in our "Dancing with the Stars" page this morning was flooded win fans expressing disappointment that politics have hijacked their show. Last night on "DWTS" Bristol Palin moved on to the finals as Brandy was eliminated. For those that watch the show, Brandy is clearly the better dancer as she was given a perfect score in Monday night's competition which should have earned a spot in the finals. She was also on top of the leader board for several weeks.

Many have suggested that politics and the Tea Party have played a hand in Bristol's success on the show. The theme of the ...

SarahPalin-101020-0002.jpg
"Sarah Palin's Alaska" debuted on TLC Sunday night and has come under fire by Alaska Wildlife Alliance director John Toppenberg. In a scene on the show, Palin and her family are salmon fishing in a boat where they get too close to a family of bears.

"It's clear from the video that she violated the guidelines," said Toppenberg in an article by The Guardian. "It's clearly irresponsible, she is encouraging the violation of important guidelines. Humans can get too close to the bears."

Toppenberg went on to say, "She is encouraging the violation of important guidelines that allows tourism to f...

November 15th, 2010 9:00am EST
Bristol Palin, Mark Ballas
Another season, another issue on ABC’s hit reality TV show, 'Dancing with the Stars.' It's no secret that her dance moves are certainly not what's keeping Bristol Palin in the running for the Mirror Ball Trophy – so what is? Whether biased or bipartisan, somehow Palin’s racking up the votes despite her low scores from judges. Landing in last place, score wise, against her fellow competitors, actress, Jennifer Grey, singer, Brandy and Disney Channel star, Kyle Massey - Palin rose to #1 thanks to her fan base, sending football star, Kurt Warner packing.

The issue at hand is whether or not he...

Lady Gaga Halloween Costumes
Throw out the Kate Gosselin wigs. Put the Sarah Palin and Barack Obama masks away for another couple of years. Now… get ready for Gaga-ween!

This year, all the most iconic looks came from two places -- the Haus of Gaga and the Jersey Shore. Therefore, there’s bound to be a Situation and a bunch of Snooki’s at your Halloween party. Maybe you’ll get an errant JWoww in the crowd. If you see people showing up as Ronny and Sammi, they deserve to be thrown off the premises faster than Angelina. (The first time.)

Elsewhere at the party will be an array of fabulously dressed Lady’s, recreati...

"We're still in shock right now," said Patridge, star of MTV's reality show "The Hills."

Fans Rock The Vote As Audrina Patridge Is Eliminated From 'Dancing With The Stars'

Audrina Patridge Eliminated
It was Rock week on Dancing With the Stars. This meant that the dancers got to rock it out and dance in some really cool clothes. It was also the first week in which the dancers had to dance two dances. The first one was their normal individual dance and the second one was a competition dance marathon.

Brandy Norwood was the lucky dancer who led in both competitions.

Kurt Warner was the unlucky dancer who failed to the bottom of the leader board at the end of Monday’s night show.

Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey both scored their highest scores of the seasons last night.

Margaret Cho
Comedienne Margaret Cho was the latest celebrity to be axed from talent show "Dancing With The Stars" on Tuesday night.

Bristol Palin was close to getting the boot after her foxtrot netted her the second-worst score of the night. The show's theme was "Storytelling," but Palin's dance with a homeless man didn't create a tale the judges wanted to read.

Cho said after being eliminated, "I thought the judges were really hard on me, but I think you were hard on me because you could see I am a dancer for real. Thank you for the opportunity to let me dance."

Heart
Heart sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are still fuming over their public spat with Sarah Palin - they were forced to improve their security arrangements after receiving death threats.

The Alone hit-makers blasted the former U.S. Republican vice-presidential candidate after she used their hit song Barracuda in her 2008 election campaign. They issued an angry statement reassuring fans they do not share Palin's political views - but the incident caused some supporters to walk away from the band, and the rockers were later targeted by "crazies".

Surprisingly, President Barack Obama was asked a lot of tough questions when he visited The View the other day. But that didn't mean the ladies didn't get to ask him if he's keeping up in entertainment.

"Should Snooki run as mayor of Wasilla?" Joy Behar asked, referring to the Jersey Shore star and Sarah Palin's hometown. "I've got to admit, I don't know who Snooki is," the President responded with a laugh.

"What's the first couple songs on your iPod?" asked Whoopi Goldberg.

TV's most famous oil baron Larry Hagman is snubbing black gold in favor of a "cheaper and cleaner" energy source - he's promoting the virtues of investing in solar panels.

The Dallas star, who played ruthless tycoon J.R. Ewing in the hit show, is fronting a new campaign for German power company SolarWorld. Filmed at his eco-friendly home in Santa Barbara, California, Hagman walks away from a portrait of himself as Ewing and into his garden to show off his impressive solar panels - which he famously fitted in 2003, making him the owner of America's largest residential sun-powered system.

Annette Bening is usually active in political causes, but these days she’s turned her attention to economic matters. Perhaps financial matters are still a vital political issue, but she’s found a showbiz cause to advocate.

“In the last year because of the recession, there's something called The Actors' Fund,” Bening said. “They're these ratings for different organizations, they're really important in show business, to help people.

Betty White Has Still Got It - SNL Better Recognize

Betty White Has Still Got It
Who would have thought Betty White would have been a relevant pop culture reference come 2010? Sure she's been immortalized in American television history for her role as "Rose" on the award winning show, "The Golden Girls", which ran from 1985-1992, but now Facebook? Hollywood is always about who's younger and who's hotter, so how can we explain the rise of the Great White?

Well for starters, Mz. White is a maverick and mavericks, to paraphrase Sarah Palin, another aging hot rod, never follow the rules because that's "not mavericky" after all. Post "The Golden Girls" era, Betty cam...

Ugh, we are so annoyed with all the celebs that made the Most Annoying Celebrites of 2009 list but we still have to write about it.

There are very talented people who made the list but because they cannot step out of the spotlight they are labeled as annoying. There are also some of the least talented people in the world that made the list and because they are talentless and annoying, which is the ultimate combination, those people are probably going to be ranked near the top.
