Lady Gaga, who just broke up with Taylor Kinney , says that when she does decide to get married, it will be for good. Divorce is not an option. Though she’s been known to shock with her outlandish outfits and raunchy stage shows, the Born This Way singer insists marriage is for life . On The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet (so much for that self-imposed media blackout ) which aired in the US last week, she said: “My grandmother… was married to my grandfather for 60 years. My parents are still together, 30 years. Divorce is not an option for me.” “It’s like, ‘I’m gonna get married and that’s it. He’s stuck with me’.” The star explained that her mother and father had “stuck it out” through tough times and she plans to work just as hard on her own marriage. “I want to eventually find a man that feels the same way – about divorce not being an option,” she said. “Working through everything together, even if it’s the hardest thing you’ve ever been through, you just stick it out.” The rumored hermaphrodite and unquestioned superstar also admitted recently that she finds love “terrifying.” She’s nothing if not up front.
Things are about to get serious on Dancing With the Stars. With the field culled down from 12 to six, the pressure is mounting beginning tonight. After Jaleel White’s ouster last Tuesday, it became clear once again that no one is safe, especially with the performances improving every time out. Roshon Fegan and Melissa Gilbert are clearly the underdogs going forward. Can either make a surprise run to the top three and the DWTS finals? If not, it’s going to be a four-person battle for three spots, with Donald Driver, William Levy, Katherine Jenkins and Maria Menounos eying the Mirror Ball. Each has been consistently impressive so far, and rarely (if ever) in jeopardy. But something has to give. One false move and it can all be over. Ask Jaleel. Who’s your favorite contestant left in the field, and who do you think is most likely to go home this week? Share your comments and vote in our poll: Who do you think will win Dancing With the Stars?
After Monday’s Dancing With the Stars performances, which saw Maria Menounos and Derek Hough receive the first perfect 30 of the season, it seemed all but certain that Melissa Gilbert and an injured Maksim Chmerkovskiy would be in the bottom two. Their 21-point tango left them in last place , a full three points behind Jaleel White and Kym Johnson and four behind Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower. Which two pairs were in the bottom two, and which was safe on last night’s Dancing With the Stars results show? More than a few people were surprised. Melissa and Maks were declared safe, leaving young Roshon and Chelsie to go up against fan favorites Jaleel and Kym in the dance duel for their lives. After the two performed dueling rumbas, the judges made their decision. “This is not easy. Side by side you guys are pretty much equal,” said Carrie Ann, who picked Roshon and Chelsie to stay. Len and Bruno made it unanimous. And just like that, Jaleel White’s run on Dancing With the Stars ended. “I really only thought I’d last about three dances this competition,” White said after his elimination, “so to get this far – I’ve made incredible friends, the fans have been incredible. I love Roshon Fegan … I’m glad they saved him.” What do you think: Should Jaleel have gone home?
The 14th season of Dancing With the Stars has been almost as evenly-matched as it has been entertaining thus far. Would the sixth week be any different? Last week saw Maria Menounos and Derek Hough kiss , Melissa Gilbert return from a head injury, Chelsie Hightower almost fall out of her outfit and more. With Gavin DeGraw eliminated , eight dancers remained to vie for the Mirror Ball. Who stepped up this week and who’s going to be in jeopardy next? Coming into the sixth week, the favorites (Menounos, Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins and William Levy) were looking to bolster their frontrunner status. The remainder of the pack (Gilbert, Roshon Fegan, Jaleel White and Gladys Knight) looked to make a move or risk elimination. How did the stars all do? We’ll be back with a full rundown soon, but in the meantime, tell us who you think was the best – and worst – on the parquet Monday in the comments. Then vote in our ongoing survey with your thoughts on the following: Of the top eight, who will win Dancing With the Stars?

Melissa Gilbert suffered a scary spill Monday, but will be okay. The actress, who wound up in the hospital after she fell during the paso doble on Dancing With the Stars last night, offered an update as to her status. “I’m alright. Mild concussion and whiplash,” she tweeted in the hours following the spill. “Very soon I’ll be safely home resting and being taken care of.” Clearly there were no hard feelings toward her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, as Melissa later wrote: “@Maksim you are my champion. I adore you.” Melissa Gilbert & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Paso Doble (DWTS) Week 4 At the after party on Monday night, the condition of Gilbert, who scored 22 points for the routine, was definitely on the minds of her fellow competitors. “We hope she is OK,” a concerned Maria Menounos told E! News. “I was really sad because she was really excited to go out tonight and celebrate.” “Hopefully she is alright,” added young Roshon Fegan. Her status as far as competing going forward is unclear, but tonight’s results show should provide further updates, we’re hoping. Get well, Melissa!
Contestant suffered a ‘mild concussion and whiplash’ after falling during Monday night’s performance. By Gil Kaufman Melissa Gilbert and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC ” Dancing With the Stars ” has a long history of sending its competitors to the hospital with a variety of hoofing-related injuries. But on Monday night’s episode, former “Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert appeared to suffer one of the worst two-stepping mishaps in show history. While the judges were high on her bad-girl take on the paso doble, the real news was that Gilbert, 47, slipped at one point and though the audience didn’t notice, she suffered a head injury that required hospitalization. Host Tom Bergeron announced the news on the show, but didn’t give much detail. “If you’re wondering why Melissa and [dancing partner] Maks [Chmerkovskiy] are not here, she injured herself and as a precaution has gone to the hospital to get it checked out,” Bergeron said on the show, promising a full update on Tuesday night’s results show. Gilbert hit her Twitter account shortly after to explain her absence, writing, “I’m alright. Mild concussion and whiplash. Very soon I will be safely home resting and being taken care of.” I’m alright. Mild concussion and whiplash. Very soon I will be safely home resting and being taken care of. — Melissa Gilbert (@MelissaEGilbert) April 10, 2012 Some of Gilbert’s competitors spoke to Us Weekly about the scary moment after the show. “She hit her head during her dance, and then after she felt a little dizzy, so they took her to the hospital just to get checked out and make sure she was okay,” explained Sherri Shepherd. “I think she’ll be all right, though.” Gavin DeGraw said he carried Gilbert down to the green room because the TV actress was “too weak to walk,” adding, “my arms were tired by the time I started the dance after carrying her!”
Melissa Gilbert is taken to hospital after injuring herself during performance. By Kelley L. Carter Donald Driver on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC For the fourth week of this season of “Dancing With the Stars,” the celebrities rocked it out. Glam rock-star style was everywhere — bedazzled outfits, eyeliner galore, tight leather and familiar rock tunes were all over the ballroom on Monday night’s telecast. The night’s top scorer was NFL superstar Donald Driver, who danced away with 27 points out of 30, impressing judges with his shirtless dance routine. Here’s how the others fared during Rock Week: Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy The TV talk-show co-host did the tango. Judges thought that despite a few issues with her feet, she did a decent job. Judge Bruno Tonioli said she needed to be sharper, and Carrie Ann Inaba told her, “It was good, but I think what was lacking was your normal exuberance.” 21/30 Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas Normally, the opera singer hangs right at the top of the leader board. This week, judges thought that her paso doble was unrefined. Head judge Len Goodman said that her performance “failed to deliver.” Tonioli said she was missing definition but that she set loose “a whirlwind of fury.” 24/30 Jaleel White and Kym Johnson The actor danced the tango to the Rolling Stones hit “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” and he failed to impress judges as he did the first week. Goodman said that White needed to attack the dance more. Inaba said it was “funky and weird.” 22/30 Melissa Gilbert and Maks Chmerkovskiy Her score didn’t reflect it, but judges liked her bad-girl take with her paso doble routine. Tonioli said her sexy pose was “hot-blooded,” and Inaba said it was her best showing yet. She apparently slipped at one point during the dance — the TV audience didn’t notice — but before the end of the show, host Tom Beregon announced that she had injured herself and was taken to the hospital. 22/30 Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd Driver was the dancing king of the night. The wide receiver’s paso doble was soundtracked to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze,” and judges found it to be sexy (he danced shirtless) and raunchy — all good things. 27/30 Gladys Knight and Tristan MacManus The soul legend danced to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and judges were less than impressed. She landed in the bottom of the leader board for her tango. Judges said that it didn’t quite come together for her, but Inaba said that it was “by far your most ambitious routine.” 20/30 William Levy and Cheryl Burke Judges didn’t care too much for the hot Latin actor’s jive, but their disdain could barely be heard over the audience screams. Inaba told him he needed to work on staying focused, but added, “You have something special.” 22/30 Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower The Disney star impressed judges with his Viennese waltz, and Inaba said that it was “cute, like watching the climax of a Disney movie.” 26/30 Maria Menounos and Derek Hough The TV journalist danced through the pain — she has stress fractures in her feet, and said in her rehearsal segment, “My feet have been killing me and I’m afraid something’s really wrong” — but she tangoed anyway, and judges loved what they saw. Inaba applauded the chemistry the two have together. 26/30 Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff The pop singer rounded out the last of the celebrity routines, dancing the tango, and once again, judges didn’t care too much for what he turned in. Tonioli said it was “a little messy in the corner.” 23/30 Which celebrity are you rooting for on “Dancing With the Stars”? Tell us in the comments!
It’s game on now. One week ago, we got to know this season’s dozen dancing aspirants. With no threat of elimination, they all got their feet wet, with some performing better than others. Tonight, it was officially go time. Who was able to build on their performances from last Monday’s Dancing With the Stars premiere ? Who took a step back? Who’s likely to be in danger Tuesday night? Coming into the second night of performances, only six points separated the leaders (Jaleel White and Katherine Jenkins) from the bottom of the barrel. Were Gavin DeGraw, Melissa Gilbert and Martina Navratilova able to close the gap? And anyone emerge from the middle of the pack as a favorite? We’ll be back bright and early Tuesday a.m. with videos of the night’s routines, but for now, sound off on who sizzled and who fizzled this evening. Who you think will win the Mirror Ball?
