Professional basketball player Diana Taurasi, who currently plays for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA, strips off her clothes and bares all on the cover of the 2010 ESPN’s The Body Issue (uncensored pictures below). Last year, Serena Williams shocked tennis fan when she appeared naked on first edition of ESPN’s Body Issue.

The 28 year-old WNBA star proudly flaunts a star tattoo on her right hip and confessed that posing nude for the cover did not change who she is and, hopefully, it won’t change what people think about her as an athlete.

The lovebirds met on the show, began dating by the third episode and Sam could not hide the admiration he had for his new girlfriend when he was eliminated from the show.

Sam said, “Her go-getter attitude really attracted me — aside from her being beautiful on the outside!”

“You look for a partner who loves you for everything you are and everything you’re not,” says the radio saleswoman. “And that, for me, is Sam.”

Stephanie and Sam, who currently live in Los Angeles, feel better than ever after losing exactly 241 together on the show and are happier than ever as they plan their big day. The two still haven’t set a date.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

“Desperate Housewives” star Dana Delany confessed she had a very traumatic experience with Botox and vowed to never get plastic surgery to try to improve her appearance as an aging woman/actress in Hollywood.

In an interview for Prevention Magazine, the 54 year-old told how Botox killed one of the nerves on her face, affected a muscle and how her right eye has started to drop as a result of an experience gone wrong several years ago.

Dana said, “Seven years ago, I had never heard of Botox. My dermatologist was saying, ‘You should try it.’ He injected my forehead, hit a nerve, and created a huge hematoma. The nerve has been dead ever since. It affected the muscle in my right eye, so my eye has started to droop a little bit.”

“I won’t do it [plastic surgery], no. My hat’s off to Jamie Lee Curtis. She’s so smart, and she doesn’t dye her hair or anything. And Meryl Streep still looks like herself. Diane Keaton, too. I think the really great actresses don’t worry about that kind of thing.”

Dana also revealed she was an insecure teenage girl and had serious weight issues, which led to an eating disorder when she was over twenty years old: “I binged. I starved. I was one step from anorexia—a piece of toast and an apple would be all I would eat in a day.” Now Dana feels better than ever.

Who was eliminated on Dancing With The Stars? The fabulous ten celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners tried to tell a story through choreography on a night dedicated to story tellers on Dancing With The Stars on Monday (October 4). Unfortunately, another celebrity will be forced to leave the competition on the live results show on Tuesday (October 5).

Surprisingly, Audrina Patridge totally owned the dance floor with her incredible and emotional performance of the Waltz, which told the story of a woman who lost her love to war. Jennifer Grey can do no wrong… I was not a fan of the outfit, but her samba was hot. Brandy got some good compliments this week, but there was something missing… like chemistry between her and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Margaret Cho completely made a full of herself when she attempted to dance a “gay” samba… whatever that means. Margaret and her partner Louis van Amstel didn’t even have a story to tell. Seriously. Margaret has lots of attitude and energy, which is something Bristol Palin completely lacks. Bristol needs an injection of attitude and fierceness.

So who will be in the bottom two? Margaret Cho and Bristol Palin should be in danger this week, but Florence Henderson is another strong candidate to land in the bottom two. Comedienne Margaret Cho should be the one to pack her bags and return home.

Dancing With The Stars 11 Week 3 Scoreboard:

• Audrina Patridge & Tony Dovolani: 26
• Brandy & Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 24
• Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough: 24
• Rick Fox & Cheryl Burke: 24
• Kurt Warner & Anna Trebunskaya: 23
• Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer: 23

Actress/reality star Lisa Rinna finally decided to go under the knife to reduce the size of her infamous and ridiculous upper lip on August 26. The 47 year-old finally admitted that she impulsively had silicone injected into her lips back in 1986 and she couldn’t handle the critics.

“My lips started to define who I am,” Rinna tells People. “That bothered me. I took a big hit for being honest. It gave everyone online permission to lambaste me. It hurt my feelings.”

“It doesn’t matter what other people think,” she says. “I did it for myself.” After the surgery, Lisa says that rather than feeling “bumpy and uneven … my lip has no lumps! It’s smooth.”

Lisa, who just launched her new novel “Starlit”, confessed that her lips are still swollen and that will take her more than six months to heal completely. “It’s a work in progress,” admits Rinna, “but I feel fantastic.”

Lisa and her husband Harry Hamlin have their own reality show on TV Land. “Harry Loves Lisa” premieres at 10 pm on Wednesday (October 6).

I’ve run 14 marathons over the past 12 months and a total of 19 to date.  I went to sign up for the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis last month and was disappointed to find out that registration had already been closed.

But luckily there was a loop hole.  If I paid the registration fee ($100) and committed to raising $500 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital then I could run the marathon.  Who says procrastination doesn’t pay off?

I hate asking people for money, especially when everyone is always asking everyone else for  money for their school, family, or charity.  There are many scams and shady people out there asking for our money on a daily basis.  St. Jude is not one of them.

St. Jude Children’s Hospital Mission Statement:

Mission

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.

(Read More on St. Jude’s Mission Statement and Vision)

I am only required to raise $500 to run the marathon, but I’ve set a goal of $2,000 that I would like to raise for St. Jude.

These financial times and rough economy have been hard on many of us or people we know closely.  If  you can’t donate then at least hit the ‘LIKE’ Facebook button at the top of this post or share the link to this page on your Facebook page or Twitter.

Country singer Taylor Swift recently sat down with Glamour Magazine to discuss her life as a budding superstar. As journalist Laurie Sandell pointed out, this has been the “Year of Taylor Swift.” Here are some of some hot quotes from the October Issue:

On her new album and the song she wrote about her incident with Kanye West:

“Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I’m really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don’t hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people’s faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment. So I’m not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I’m also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I’ve written about on this record.”

On who decorated her new Nashville home:

“I did. It was a blast. The two guest rooms are inspired by my two best friends in Nashville: One is Caitlin, my fiddle player; she’s very earthy. So “her” room has a quilt on the bed. Liz, my other best friend, is very trendy and kind of princess-y, so in her room, there’s a French Victorian-looking silver bed. I had so much fun with it. The condo is at the top of a building and very modern, but it feels like a pirate ship: There’s a spiral staircase going up to a tree house birdcage thing, and a pond with lily pads in the middle of the living room. I want to get fishies! Everything is mismatched: the pillows, the fabrics, the paintings, the dishes. That takes the pressure off me—it means I don’t have to match.”

On what she’s learned about love:

“I’ve learned that you can’t predict it or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.”

And for all of you gossip fiends out there, she even added that Taylor Lautner is one of her “best friends.” Read the rest of the interview HERE.

From Louboutin to Valentino, Taylor sweetened the pages of Glamour with her sixties retro-style fashion. Check out the spread photos after the jump!

“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”

After more than two years together, Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and Micah Alberti have suddenly called it quits. The two were recently rumored to be engaged, which evidently wasn’t true. Good thing you figured out it wasn’t working before you bought a ring, Micah! An inside source said:

Are Rumer Willis & Micah Alberti Engaged? (PHOTOS)

“[Rumer] is very upset. She went to Las Vegas this past weekend with a few friends to try to cheer up and have fun, but she’s very sensitive about the breakup.”

While in Vegas, Rumer reportedly spoke with Glee cast member Chord Overstreet:

“She spent a few minutes talking to Chord Overstreet, the new cast member on Glee,” an eyewitness said. “They just chatted a few minutes and went their separate ways.”

Wow. Thank you for that ridiculously uninteresting sighting. I’m sure a magazine will be turning them into the new “It Couple” any minute now.

I hate to be the one to say it, but Micah was way too cute for her.

The competition has finally begun! The ten remaining celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners were asked to tell a story through their performance on the dance floor of Dancing With The Stars on Monday (October 4). Rick Fox and his partner Cheryl Burke danced a sexy Samba to the sound of Kat DeLuna’s “Whine Up” (watch video below).

Rick can shake booty!! That was awesome. For a guy as big and tall as he is, it must be really hard to move gracefully yet he makes it look so easy. That was a good samba. Carrie Ann Inaba said it was sexy and hot. The judges loved it. See you next week, Rick.

The competition has finally begun! The ten remaining celebrity dancers and their professional dance partners were asked to tell a story through their performance on the dance floor of Dancing With The Stars on Monday (October 4). Mike Sorrentino aka The Situation and his partner Karina Smirnoff danced a futuristic Foxtrot to the sound of the Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” (watch video below).

The Situation is improving… that was kind of a disastrous performance, but the song was a poor choice for a Foxtrot. It was entertaining in a weird way. Bruno said it was very futuristic and sometimes apocalyptic. LOL. Len Goodman was just glad he still lives in the past, if that is the future of dance, but recognized Mike’s efforts to be a better dancer each week.
