Dancing With The Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne is among the celebs speaking out against the annual massacre of baby seals in a new campaign for the People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals.
“The saddest thing for me is just knowing baby seals, some of [whom] have not even had their first meal, are going to be killed, and most of them are probably still alive when they’re skinning them. And there are no laws, nothing to stop them, so it’s just going to get worse,” Kelly says.
The print ads also feature The Hills’ Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole, 90210 star Jennie Garth, former Girl Next Door Holly Madison, CSI actress Jorja Fox, and others. For more information or to purchase a Save the Seals T-shirt, visit PETA.org.

Fan favorite Jake Pavelka was revealed as the next “Bachelor” on Tuesday night’s Dancing With The Stars Results Show.

“I’ve dated some really amazing girls, but I’ve never been successful at finding that one girl,” the Dallas pilot says, “and I saw how the whole thing comes together, the process with Jillian. I saw how the process works and I believe in it. That’s a unique way to meet somebody.”

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Definitely Not Friends With Ex-Fiance Karina Smirnoff-Despite What She May Say.
Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Never one to mince words, outspoken Dancing With The Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy has revealed that he no longer likes his former fiancee — and fellow DWTS pro — Karina Smirnoff.
Well, at least he isn’t bitter…..
Maks and Karina began dating last winter, shortly after her public split from notorious womanizer Mario Lopez. After a nine-month engagement, the dancing duo called it quits in September, but have had to see each other daily on the ABC hit. The daily run-ins have been anything but pleasant for Maks, who claims that despite Karina’s declarations to the contrary, the exes are no longer friends.
“No,” Maks replied when asked whether he is still friends with Karina at the LA County Fair on Sept. 27. “She’s a lot better at hiding her feelings apparently than I am. I just need to drop the sad person act and move on.”
“I hate the situation with Karina because it’s really gotten blown out of proportion,” Maks tells Life & Style. “It’s done. It’s over with.”

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will not continue competing on the ninth season of Dancing With The Stars after suffering stress fractures in both feet, the tough Texan announced during Tuesday night’s Results Show.
Although the congressman and his professional partner Cheryl Burke earned enough votes with their samba performance to make it to Week 4, Tom has bowed out of the competition at the urging of physicans and series producers.
“No, I won’t [continue],” an emotional Tom explained. “You can’t practice, and if you can’t practice you’ll make a fool of yourself out here and I don’t want to do that to Cheryl because she’s so great.”
