Tattle: Imagine Latifah & Snooki whirling on 'Dancing' floor
"DANCING with the Stars," perhaps in a bid to live up to its title (yuk, yuk), will deal with a whole new caliber of celebrity for the 13th season.
"DANCING with the Stars," perhaps in a bid to live up to its title (yuk, yuk), will deal with a whole new caliber of celebrity for the 13th season.
Although the entire cast won't be revealed until Aug. 29 during the season finale of that STD- awareness campaign called "Bachelor Pad," rumors are a-flying over who will slip on their dancing shoes for the reality- show juggernaut that starts filming next month.
TMZ is adamant that hip-hop royalty Queen Latifah and "Jersey Shore" doyenne Snooki will hoof it up next season. We're leery because neither needs the money.
The site also announced that "Saved by the Bell" sweetheart and current "White Collar" star Tiffani-Amber Thiessen will be a contestant as well, but her reps are crying foul. TMZ is sticking to its story. We say do it, T.A. - As all SbtB diehards know, Thiessen's alter ego, Kelly Kapowski, could cut a rug.
TMZ had previously announced the participation of Rob Kardashian, brother of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe and, if it's possible, the least deserving of fame.
But that's not all. "Access Hollywood" has the scoop that former "Laguna Beach"/"The Hills" "star" Kristin Cavallari has already signed on for the next season. We can't wait to read the several dozen "exclusive" interviews Cavallari gives about how ballroom dancing healed her broken heart after her recent dumping by QB Jay Cutler.
"Access Hollywood" also threw out singer Christina Milian and Mike Tyson as possible contestants.
* In other TV news, Terrell Owens, enemy of all self-respecting Philadelphians, will guest-star on the season finale of the USA show "Necessary Roughness," playing a football player (duh) named Kevin "The Minefield" Minnifield. So, you know, don't watch that episode.
Kat scratch fever
Could West Chester boy
Bam Margera
have gotten in the way of true love?
Star magazine is reporting that Sandra Bullock's ex Jesse James, the Most-Hated Man in America, broke off his engagement with reality star Kat Von D because she was stepping out with Margera.
Say it ain't so, Bam!
Star says that after Von D went to comfort Margera days after the death of his BFF, Ryan Dunn, they ended up spending the night together. "Jesse found out and questioned her about it, and Kat let slip something about how 'Bam just can't sleep alone,' " a source told Star. "Jesse hit the roof when he heard that and accused Kat of cheating on him."
Things got only worse when the couple attended a Soundgarden concert because to Von D and James, it's still apparently 1995. James wanted to go backstage, Von D said no. Why? She had reportedly gotten down with one of the band members and was wary of showing her beau around. Thus, the relationship was over.
Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock sat at home in her mansion, polishing her Oscar and thanking her lucky stars.
The insane factor
Paula Abdul
insists that her assistants call her "warrior, survivor and gift," according to the new issue of
Us Weekly.
Abdul, who will join the judging panel of the "The X Factor," also insists that her help searches TiVo and records any mention of her and then burns it to a DVD, completely negating the purpose of TiVo.
The best part? Her assistants must carry a tape recorder with them at all times because she "doesn't trust her own conversations."
This news makes Lady Tattle mourn for the axed Bravo reality show "Hey Paula," where Abdul once started to cry because an assistant forgot to pack sweatpants for her to wear during an airline flight.
