OMG. I LOVED it! Hines has improved so much since his first quickstep (watch video below), and he finally delivered the entertaining and exciting performance we were looking for. After a very serious injury last week, Kym was able to put it together and showed just how good Hines is as a dancer.

Carrie Ann Inaba was super excited with this performance. Bruno said it was like they were on Broadway and that Hines was able to connect with the audience in a fantastic way. Len Goodman appreciated the effort, but thought Hines was not quite there yet. No way!! Hines is there!!

Score: 29 (10+9+10)

Finally someone dances the Samba with a Samba song! What a difference a song makes! I personally liked this choreography a lot more, but we cannot compare Chelsea Kane and Kirstie because they have two very different styles. Kirstie did a good job yet again it wasn’t impressive. It’s the finals, we want more excitement!

Len Goodman thought their samba was less aggressive and more natural, saying Kirstie deserves to be in the finals. Carrie Ann Inaba appreciated her movement quality, but Bruno was a little frustrated because Kirstie still had to look at the floor.

Score: 27 (9+9+9)

Samba should be sexy and sensual, but that is not exactly what we saw. Chelsea just seemed to be shaking it. There was no sexual tension between Mark and Chelsea. I hate the pants and thought their performance was kind of boring. Yeah, I’m aware Chelsea is a good dancer, but this was not as good as I expected. Of course, the judges loved it.

Len Goodman said he enjoys seeing Chelsea on that stage, although he did not like the flailing arms part of the choreography. Carrie Ann Inaba said it was “hot, hot, hot”. It was NOT! It was a bit awkward, not hot! Bruno loved it, claiming the rhythm was flowing through Chelsea’s body like he had never seen before.

Score: 29 (10+9+10)

Princess Beatrice’s infamous royal wedding hat has sold for over $131 K via eBay. The funds will go to charity, which is a great way to use her famous hat. The money will go to UNICEF UK, which will help bring a better education to third world countries. No word on who won the famous hat or what will happen to it.

I sort of hope that it will find its way to a museum. That seems like a proper place for it, even if most people thought that it was ugly. I am pretty sure that thousands of fans will want their photo taken next to it.

What do you think about Beatrice giving her hat for charity? How much do you think it should be worth? I have to say that I was surprised that so many people were willing to buy her hat.

Prince William and Kate Middleton seemed to be in their own world on their wedding day. The duo smiled and whispered things to each other during the ceremony. Now people are claiming that William and Kate did not take their wedding serious.

Many took note on their refusal on some traditions, while also staying focused on each other. It seemed almost as if they acted as if their wedding was a regular private one. While it came across as romantic, I do think that it did send the wrong message.

I wonder what else these gossip rags will attack the newlyweds with? It seems that they are having a feast on them. I hope that it will slow down soon enough.

Former Florida Gator and current Chicago Bulls forward, Joakim Noah, was fined $50,000 by the NBA for shouting a gay slur at a fan during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat.

50K may seem like a lofty price to pay, but it’s just half the amount ordered of Laker forward, Kobe Bryant, who was fined for a similar comment made to an NBA referee earlier this season.  However, according to NBA spokeman Mark Broussard, ”Kobe’s fine included discipline for verbal abuse of a game official…”

Unlike Bryant, who waited several days before issuing an apology, Noah, who met with NBA officials Monday morning made the following statement:

The fan said something that was disrespectful towards me… And I went back at him. Got it on camera. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m not like that. I’m an open-minded guy. I said the wrong thing and I’m going to pay the consequences — deal with the consequences — like a man. I don’t want to be a distraction to the team right now.

Real Housewife of New York, Sonja Morgan, has been ordered to pay $7 million dollars to Hannibal Pictures for her fraudulent conduct regarding a failed movie venture.  Morgan, who filed for bankruptcy in November 2010, attempted to appeal the court’s decision, but the United States Court of Appeal upheld the initial ruling.

According to reports, Morgan’s company Sonja Productions, agreed to finance the film, Fast Flash to Bang Time, but due to requests made by the film’s star, John Travolta, was unable to do so.

Upon receiving the word that Hannibal Pictures had won the appeal, owner, Richard Rionda del Castro, issued a statement regarding Morgan’s conduct,

With the confirmation by one of the highest Courts of our country, the masks are falling and there is no longer any doubt that we were defrauded and severely damaged. We are now going to collect to the fullest extent of the law…

That’s the PC way of saying “na na na na boo boo”.

President Barack Obama is in Ireland this week, visiting the hometown of his great-great-great grandfather and trying to fix the U.S. deficit by bringing home the pot o’ gold from the end of the rainbow.

Although the president has hit a few roadblocks during his stay, he has made sure that he and wife, Michelle, save plenty of time to drink up the local culture.  While in the town of Moneygall, the president and first lady stopped into a local pub to enjoy a pint of Guineness with a few locals.  According to TMZ, after a brief toast, Obama paid his bill in cash and told the bartender, ”I just want you to know that the President pays his bar tab … that’s how we do things.”

An Irish government worker, who watched the live TV coverage of Obama’s visit to the Emerald Isle, said,

The president actually killed his pint! He gets my vote…He’s the first president I’ve actually seen drink the black stuff like he’s not ashamed of something.

With the President’s approval rating rising to only around 60% after the death of Osama Bin Ladin, it looks like Obama is looking to snag that last 40% by appealing to the country’s most under-represented voters – the drunk.

Britney looked absolutely incredible. So gorgeous! Brit’s hair hasn’t looked that good in over a decade! I kid! I wonder when we will actually hear Britney sing live because they are not even trying to pretend she is not lip-synching. Not good!

Pop princess Britney Spears returned to the stage to sing the last verses of “S&M” with Rihanna, who sexed up the stage in a hot bondage inspired outfit as she kicked off the show at the 2011 Billboard Awards held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday (May 22)- watch video below.

Britney and Rihanna wore similar outfits – one white and one black with their hands chained. Britney, who made her grand appearance with a black bunny mask, did one heck of a poor job lip-synching her very small part of the show.

However, the “Hold It Against Me” singer looked a lot more comfortable and more energetic on stage. Rihanna and Britney ended their performance with a steamy pillow fight. HOT!
