Bristol Palin is a Dancing With the Stars Finalist; Brandy Eliminated in Stunner!

WTF. There's no other intro we can muster right now.
It's not anything new that Dancing With the Stars is more about popular support than technical merit, especially with mediocre, middle of the pack performers. But at some point, you'd assume the better dancers would be rewarded.
You'd assume wrong, apparently. Bristol Palin will be joining Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey in next week's finals, with a deserving Brandy on the sidelines.

Somehow, Brandy and Maks will be watching, not dancing in the finals.
No sooner had we talked about how Palin's run personally irked Maksim Chmerkovskiy than he and Brandy got the boot Tuesday, despite great dancing Monday.
A record-high number of votes made it happen, too.
"One thing that I love, for my family, the choice they made to come to this country," said Ukrainian-born Maks, taking the high road, "the fact that people vote and voices count. I love that this show represents that, the people's choice."
"I don't regret a second of the last five years of my being on the show and definitely not a second of me being on this season. It's been an amazing journey."
Uhhnh, did Maks just pseudo-quit Dancing With the Stars?

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco: Engaged!

Forget Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson.
Sorry, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo.
Move over, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The biggest engagement news of the celebrity world this week comes from the NFL: Chad Ochocinco has popped the proverbial question to Evelyn Lozada - and she's said yes!

Viewers of VH1's Basketball Wives may be familiar with Lozado, who flew to Cincinnati yesterday and received the shock of a lifetime from her boyfriend of four months. Tweeted the reality star of her incomprehensibly large ring:
"I'm no rabbit but 10 carats looks good on me!! Let the hating begin."
You heard her ladies...

Source: Jake Gyllenhaal on "Cloud Nine" Over Taylor Swift, Planning Rendezvous in Paris

Reports indicate that Taylor Swift is more serious about her career than Jake Gyllenhaal.
But the same can't be said about the actor's feelings regarding this young singer. According to Hollywood Life sources, Jake has dated since his split with Reese Witherspoon, but "no one has put a smile on his face like Taylor. He’s really on cloud nine."

Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor
Call them Swiftenhaal or Gyllenwift. Just don't call Taylor and Jake a casual couple any longer.
Following casual dates in NYC and California, things between Swiftenhaal will allegedly heat up this December, as insiders claim: “The two are planning to spend the holidays together. And Jake plans to meet Taylor in Paris at the beginning of the new year, where she’ll be performing.”

Eva Longoria & Tony Parker: Divorce Rumor Untrue!

Less than an hour ago, we reported that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were splitting after three years of marriage, and that Tony filed for divorce in Texas.
Now her rep says it's completely false!
Two clerks at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas told TMZ the case was filed and sealed by a family law judge, but Eva's rep says Tony did not file.
The San Antonio Spurs star does not even have a divorce lawyer, she says, and another clerk now says no such divorce case has crossed her desk.

Eva Longoria (no longer Parker) is back on the market!
The Desperate Housewives actress and the San Antonio Spurs star married back in July 2007, and has his initials and jersey number tattooed on her body.
Longoria was to appear at the taping of Anderson Cooper's CNN Heroes of 2010 special this weekend, but canceled, sparking rumors something was up.
Fortunately, it looks like the rumors, however they started, simply spiraled out of control and people jumped the gun. Hopefully, they're happy as ever!

Coming to MTV: Teen Mom 2!

Move over, Maci Bookout. Step aside, Catelynn Lowell. Time to make room, Farrah Abraham. Cool your jets, Amber Portwood. Please don't hurt us.
MTV will premiere Teen Mom 2, a sequel to the smash hit reality show, on Tuesday, January 11. Get ready for so much more baby-raising drama.
"Teen Mom 2 is shooting right now," the show's executive producer, Morgan J. Freeman, told USA Today, confirming the sequel's debut on MTV.

Teen Mom Cast
The Teen Mom cast became pseudo-celebrities after their trials and tribulations aired this year. Dr. Drew has nothing to do with this, he's just in the photo.
Who are the new girls? Although the cast list hasn't yet been revealed, the featured young women were selected from the current cast of 16 and Pregnant.
As for original cast members Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell, Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood, running it back for a new season, Freeman wasn't sure.
"We're doing some continuous-type shooting with the original [cast] but nothing's been announced yet about what we'll do with that," the producer said.

Michaela Wallace Interview: A Chat with Justin Bieber's Girlfriend.

I love Justin Bieber because he has great music that I can relate to, and it doesn't hurt that he's really hot!
Michaela Wallace is certainly not the only 14-year old with this opinion. But she is the only 14-year old with a song titled "Justin Bieber's Girlfriend," one with a video that has gone viral and turned Wallace into an online sensation.

The young singer spoke to Celebuzz this week about her single and her hopes for a successful music career. Might we have a female version of Justin on our hands?
How long has been involved with music?
I have been singing as long as I can remember. Music has always been a passion of mine and part of my life. In church, at school or just on a regular day when I disappear into my room for some one-on-one time with my guitar. I have been playing the piano since I seven years old and playing the guitar since I was ten.
