Storm Stories

Seaason 14 of "Dancing With The Stars" ended with the crowning of yet another football player.  Green Bay packers wide receiver DONALD DRIVER and his partner Peta Murgatroyd won the Mirror Ball Trophy after scoring a perfect 30 for their last dance, the Cha-Cha.

I thought KATHERINE JENKINS was the clear winner.  Even Head Judge LEN GOODMAN said she was the whole package.  Katherine even received perfect scores for all three of her dances, giving her 90 out of a possible 90 points.  Donald and WILLIAM LEVY were tied for second with both scoring 89 out of 90.

However, Katherine finished in second place and William took third place.

Were you shocked by the results?  

Who do you think should have won "Dancing With The Stars"?   

SNOOKI is due in late August, so she'll be pretty far along while filming the sixth season of "Jersey Shore" this summer.

And she's decided to do the responsible thing and NOT live with the rest of the cast this season.  Instead, she'll have her own pad somewhere nearby.

Supposedly, she's "taking her pregnancy very seriously," and doesn't want to be surrounded by loud, drunk people all the time.  

To take her place in the house, RadarOnline.com reports that "Jersey Shore" is bringing back Angelina Pivarnick, who was featured on the first two seasons.  She's the so-called "bad girl", and sources say she's coming back to "stir things up."

The British tabloids claim BRITNEY SPEARS is demanding a boatload of diet coke and Doritos in her "X Factor" rider.

Here's a rundown of what she wants:

12 Snickers bars 

6 cases of Diet Coke containing 24 cans, which must be replenished every week 

10 bags of Doritos a day 

12 vases of magnolia blossoms in her dressing room 

10 pieces of chicken and four pints of potato salad every week.

A "beauty team," which includes a personal manicurist, a facialist and a massage therapist.

Britney is being paid $15 million for one season and she's making all these "diva demands."  Can't she buy her own Doritos?

If you were a celebrity, what would you request on your rider?

RIHANNA doesn't seem to do much these days besides partying . . . and that might be catching up with her.

The "National Enquirer" says Rihanna is partying so much she might be putting her healt and her liver at risk.

A source says, "Rihanna is spiraling out of control and is headed for an early grave.  Once she gets started, Rihanna pounds drinks all night long, sometimes until the sun comes up.  She definitely goes on binges."

"She’s been a hard drinker since her teens and her friends and family are desperately urging her to get into rehab."

Rihanna called in "sick" to her "Saturday Night Live" dress rehearsal on May 5th . . . then landed in the hospital a few days later with "exhaustion and dehydration".  She even Tweeted a picture of her IV drip.

This past weekend, Rihanna's over-partying caused her to miss a flight out of London.  She used the extra day in the U.K. to show up onstage during a KANYE WEST/JAY-Z gig.  Check out some videos here.

PINK and her husband CAREY HART took to Twitter to rip CHRIS BROWN'S BMX-themed performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, where he lip-synched his song "Turn Up the Music".

Pink Tweeted, "One day, if I lip-sync, I hope I do it as well as him" . . . and Carey added, "I'm pretty sure I saw my wife do that same performance, but she was three months pregnant and actually sang the song."

Chris Brown Tweeted, "Don't hold ya breath waiting for me to stop doing me!"

Here's Chris Brown's performance...

Carey was talking about Pink's performance of "Raise Your Glass" at the 2010 American Music Awards.  Like Chris' set-up, there was a half-pipe on stage, where she had bikers and skateboarders doing random stunts.

Pink was a few months pregnant at the time.  After the performance, she even rubs her belly.  Here's the video...

Initially, some people thought Carey was taking a shot at KATY PERRY, who performed Sunday night on a swing suspended from the rafters . . . like Pink did at the 2010 Grammys. 

Katy Perry at Billboard Music Awards...

Pink's performance at the 2010 Grammy's...

Carey started taking heat from Katy's fans, so he later clarified that he WAS dissing Chris . . . although he noted that they were right, and Katy's performance was kind of a rip-off, too.

Katy's fans must have assaulted Pink too, because she said, "For the record, I love me some Katy, so y'all can jump off that runaway train, okay?"  But she added, "I stand behind, always have and always will, LIVE SINGING."

A&E has cancelled "Dog the Bounty Hunter" after eight seasons.

A&E was reportedly negotiating with Dog's people for a ninth season, but the talks broke down over "creative differences." 

The show premiered in 2004, after Dog appeared on A&E's "Take This Job" . . . a show about people with unusual careers.

Do you think it's time that ended?  Or do you want more of Dog the Bounty Hunter?

ARSENIO HALL won "Celebrity Apprentice" on Sunday night, and apparently that has totally made him the hottest commodity in Hollywood.

TMZ claims THREE networks are "very interested" in giving Arsenio a new talk show.  "Sources" say one of them is NBC, the home of "Celebrity Apprentice".

They didn't name the other two, but HollywoodLife.com claims Fox and TBS are interested.  Supposedly, Fox would want him for a weekly show on Saturday nights, and TBS wants a weekday show that would follow "Conan".

"The Arsenio Hall Show" ran in syndication from 1989 to 1994.  Here's some clips from one of his shows...

Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy

Mark Wahlberg (aka Marky Mark)

And just for Jay...here's video of Debbie Gibson on the show...

One week ago today, MARK ZUCKERBERG turned 28.  That same day, his girlfriend, 27-year-old PRISCILLA CHAN graduated from med school.  Then on Friday, Facebook went public and Zuckerberg's shares made him worth $19 BILLION.

And then, to cap off what HAS to be the biggest week of his life, Mark and Priscilla GOT MARRIED on Saturday.  And naturally, everyone found out on Saturday night when Mark posted it on his Facebook timeline.

Supposedly the whole thing was a total surprise to their family and friends.  Less than 100 people were at the wedding, which was in Mark and Priscilla's backyard at their house in Palo Alto, California.  Everyone thought they were there to celebrate Priscilla's graduation from med school at the University of California, San Francisco.  (She's planning on becoming a pediatrician.)  

According to a source, Priscilla's ring featured a "very simple ruby" . . . NOT some kind of gigantic diamond.

Mark and Priscilla have been dating since the beginning of Facebook, when they were both at Harvard.  And yes, that means all the stuff in "The Social Network" about Mark starting the site to impress a girl who dumped him was made up.

Also, the photo Mark posted of himself and Priscilla on Facebook to break the wedding news has already received nearly a million likes.

After Mark and Priscilla got married, they had a party for friends at their house. Their neighbors say they played a lot of songs by Michael Jackson.

The timing of the wedding is very interesting.  They got married the DAY after the Facebook IPO . . . meaning any money Mark made Friday is a pre-marital asset. 

Do you think they signed a pre-nup?  

"The Avengers" had another record-breaking weekend at the box office.  The movie raked in just over $55 million and held the #1 spot for a third week in a row. 

That pushes its domestic gross to $457 million, and makes it the sixth highest grossing movie of ALL TIME.  And it only trails the #5 movie, the original "Star Wars", by about $4 million.  

Here's the six highest grossing movies of all time. . .

"Battleship" starring RIHANNA took 2nd place this weekend with a less-than-expected $25.3 million. 

And SACHA BARON COHEN'S "The Dictator" was right behind, earning $24.5 million since its Wednesday opening.  

The comedy "What to Expect When You're Expecting" had to settle for 5th place with $10.5 million.

Do you think "The Avengers" can over take "Avatar" as the #1 Grossing Movie of All Time?  

The "Billboard Music Awards" were last night.  MILEY CYRUS wore just a jacket (no pants and no shirt).  It caused quite a stir on facebook and twitter with less than flattering comments.  The neckline went almost all the way down to her belly button.  What do you think?  Too hot or too far?   

Meanwhile, WHITNEY HOUSTON'S daughter BOBBI KRISTINA accepted the Millennium Award on behalf of her mother. 

She said, "I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all.  Not just when it was good, but when it was bad too . . . thank you so much for showing that much love, because she deserved it." (Here's video.)

As for winners, ADELE slaughtered the competition, taking home 12 trophies.  LMFAO finished a distant second with SIX wins. COLDPLAY and LIL WAYNE got four wins each.

Check out the complete list of winners here.  

JUSTIN BIEBER attended the ceremony with a teenage girl from Virginia.  Cady Eimer spent a year campaigning to get Justin to take her to her prom.  He couldn't do it, but at the prom on Saturday night, Justin sent a video message inviting her to last night's awards.  Check out Justin's video...

WILL SMITH attended the Moscow premiere of "Men In Black 3" the other day.  And during his stroll down the red carpet, he was confronted by a reporter who was a little too "kissy".  A MALE reporter.

The guy got slightly aggressive with his lips.  He kissed each of Will's cheeks, but it seemed like he was really trying to zero in on Will's lips.

So Will shoved the guy back and then BACKHANDED him across the cheek, saying, "Come on, man, what the hell is your problem, buddy?"

Here's the video...

To be fair, it wasn't a HARD slap.  And Will was kind of laughing as he told another reporter, "He tried to kiss me on the mouth.  He's lucky I ain't sucker punch him."

MEANWHILE . . . on Britain's "Graham Norton Show", Will went old-school and busted out the theme song to "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". 

Check out the video.  The song starts at the 1:50 mark.  

ROBIN GIBB of the BEE GEES passed away yesterday.  He was 62.  

The Bee Gees were disco superstars in the '70s, with hits like "How Deep Is Your Love?", "Stayin' Alive", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", and "Saturday Night Fever."

Robin had struggled with a lot of health problems over the past two years.  At some point he was diagnosed with colon cancer, and it later spread to his liver. 

In April, it got so bad that he slipped into a coma for a week, before miraculously pulling out of it . . . thanks to his older brother BARRY GIBB'S voice.

The Bee Gees were one of the top-grossing acts of all time . . . selling an estimated 220 MILLION records worldwide.

When they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson,Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney had outsold them.

Here's a SNL skit featuring Justin Timberlake as Robin Gibb and Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb. 

Naturally, a ton of singers and various other celebrities had something to say about ROBIN GIBB'S death.  Here are a few highlights:

Madonna:  "Another huge loss for the Disco Music . . . R.I.P. Robin Gibb."

Lance Armstrong:  "R.I.P. Robin Gibb.  [It] continues to sadden me to see cancer take our loved ones.  Gotta put a stop to it."

Kris Jenner:  "Rest In Peace Robin Gibb, you brought us so much joy.  What an amazing talent!!" 

Bryan Adams:  "Robin Gibb R.I.P.  Very sad to hear about yet another great singer dying too young.”

Mario Lopez: "R.I.P. Robin Gibb, big Bee Gees fan!  Wrote so many great songs too . . . Our Disco stars are off to perform in the big club upstairs!"  (Donna Summer died last Thursday.)
