New Video! Does Chaz Bono Want It Both Ways?
Is it fair for the former Dancing With the Stars alum Chaz Bono to beg for privacy during his breakup from Jennifer Elia when he thrived off the spotlight in the past? He did propose to her on his TV series Being Chaz, after all—which is why I'm giving my take on the whole matter!

Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny Kaput? Dancer Plays Hide-the-Ring in Vegas
Ball four, Karina Smirnoff is walking.
A couple months after supposedly "postponing" their wedding plans, the Dancing With the Stars champ and Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny have called off their engagement for good and are going their separate ways, a source close to the ex-couple tells E! News.
"They are just two different people," the source says simply.
It's understandable if Smirnoff, who was doing promotional appearances in Las Vegas over the weekend, didn't want to make a big deal about it. So is that why she was playing peekaboo with her ring?

Don't expect Brooke Burke to be pregnant again anytime soon.
The Dancing With the Stars cohost and hubby David Charvet may have finally tied the knot in August after being engaged for over five years, but Burke says her baby making has come to an end.

Saluting the Champ: Dancing With the Stars Winner J.R. Martinez Invited to Pentagon
First comes the mirror-ball trophy, then come the Pentagon perks?!
Dancing With the Stars champ and war veteran J.R. Martinez received an invitation from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Friday, who asked the decorated serviceman to visit the Pentagon and meet Panetta in person.
How Does J.R. Martinez Rank Among Past Dancing With the Stars Champions?
Dancing With the Stars' newest champion didn't even need to hoist the mirror-ball to be deemed a winner.
It's a fluke that J.R. Martinez, a former U.S. Army infantryman, is even alive today after 40 percent of his body was severely burned in a landmine explosion while he was serving in Iraq in 2003. But what he's done since—get back into fighting shape, travel the country as a motivational speaker and land a role on All My Children—has been the stuff of fairytales.
Let's just say that J.R. is No. 1 when it comes to deserving that win last night. Even better, he was a really good dancer. But...he wasn't the best, technically.
So, we've taken the liberty of ranking the DWTS champions through the years to see where J.R.'s twinkle toes stack up:

Backstage at DWTS: Where Will J.R. Martinez Keep His Trophy? Are Rob and Ricki Disappointed?
Breaking news: Backstage at tonight's Dancing With the Stars finale, tantrums were thrown, furniture was tossed and insults were being handed out like candy on Halloween!
Just kidding! In fact, it was basically a love-fest after tonight's show, during which J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff danced away with the mirror-ball trophy, with the three finalists, J.R., Rob Kardashian and Ricki Lake, having nothing but kind words for their competitors! See, they all really are friends!
So what is J.R. planning to do with his mirror-ball trophy? And what did Rob's family have to say to him after his loss?
Dancing With the Stars Finale: And the Winner Is...
Weeks and weeks of competiton came down to tonight.
Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez and Rob Kardashian headed into the Dancing With the Stars finale Tuesday knowing that only one of them would leave holding the mirror-ball trophy.
Rob seemingly topped the leaderboard just in time last night, while Ricki was consistent but not perfect and J.R. mixed a "not very good" cha-cha with a freestyle that the judges found zero fault with, leaving them tied for second place.
But did points matter at all when it came time for voters to put in a call, text or online click for their favorites?

Backstage at DWTS: Surprising Perfection, Sexy Confidence and Pure Joy Collide for Finals Trio
And that's all, folks!
OK, not really. Dancing With the Stars' final three contestants, Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez, live to dance one more day, but tonight was the night that truly counted.
We caught up with the trio after the show and, like the good sports they are, they all said they were just so happy to have made it this far. Then again, some of them weren't shy about really wanting that mirror ball trophy.
So what did Rob think of receiving a perfect score? How does J.R. feel about his shocking 7? And who does Kirstie Alley predict will win it all?
Dancing With the Stars Almost Over: Kim Kardashian Returns to Cheer on Rob in the Finals
Dancing With the Stars may be the last place where it's not so bad to have someone screaming "nine-nine-nine!" at you.
The 9s were music to the finalists' ears Monday, a night where the judges were rather stingy with their 10s—and, in one surprising case, Len Goodman was even stingy with his 8s!
But here's a hint as to who scored the first perfect 30...
Week in Review: Ashton and Demi Over, Brad Pitt on His Way Out, Tori Spelling's Big Reveal & More!
Just when we thought it was going to be a slow week following the big Breaking Dawn premiere...
Out came Tori Spelling's breasts!
Just kidding (well, not kidding, because that really happened, but it, er, they weren't what jolted us out of our almost-Friday coma).
Can you guess what didn't surprise but still shocked?
