Kendra Wilkinson was finally in her element last night. With the right routine and encouragement from partner Louis Van Amstel, K-Dubs finally released her inner beast on Dancing With the Stars, letting loose with a sexy Brazilian party samba that was as uninhibited as her outfit was revealing. For once, her stripper background came in handy: Kendra Wilkinson Shakes It on Dancing With the Stars “The more you gyrated, the more I palpitated,” said Len Goodman, who just received the birthday present of his life in the form of a Kendra Wilkinson striptease. The job has its perks. Tom Bergeron could only add, “Nicely done.” It was, but will it be enough to get her through to the next round? What do you think?
Nicolas Cage’s arrest on domestic violence charges April 15 may not be the extent of his problems. Child abuse questions are being raised as well. The actor may be investigated for child abuse after he reportedly caused minor injury to his five-year-old son AND his wife with his drunken antics. Cage’s wife, Alice Kim, told the police that they were arguing “due to his intoxicated state” and Cage fell while holding their son. According to Alice: “The fall caused the 5-year-old to suffer a minor abrasion to his left knee.” A witness to the incident told a different version of the story, reportedly having seen “Mr. Cage pull the male child to the ground by his hand.” The report states that a child abuse detective was notified and the police wanted to interview Cage’s son, Kal-El, but Kim would not let them. Yes, the boy’s name is Kal-El. For now, sources say child abuse officials feel no investigation is merited, but that local Child Protective Services may still be contacting Cage. On the night in question, Cage was reportedly “very drunk” on a New Orleans street when a taxi driver allegedly witnessed a loud altercation . The cabbie reportedly called the police when Cage pushed Alice. Cage taunted cops into taking him into custody, repeatedly refusing their requests to quietly go home and asking, “Why don’t you just arrest me?” The officers ultimately obliged, charging Cage with disturbing the peace and domestic violence. Alice Kim denied any physical violence occurred. She said that Cage, who was arguing with her over where they were staying, should not be charged, and insisted that “her husband was not attempting to injure her, but instead he was attempting to get her to follow him.” Reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter posted $11,000 bail for Nic.

‘American Idol’ castoff will sing on the show next Tuesday. By Kelley L. Carter Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin Photo: ABC The big news to come out of Tuesday night’s “Dancing With the Stars” elimination show wasn’t who was getting booted. Host Tom Bergeron announced — to the crowd’s delight — that ousted “American Idol” finalist (and rumored girlfriend of dancing pro Mark Ballas) Pia Toscano will perform next Tuesday. She’ll be singing while Ballas and partner Chelsea Kane dance. Of course, who was actually eliminated was saved for the final minutes of the show, and the couples in a three-way tie for the bottom judges’ score had to sweat it out for a while. Kendra Wilkinson, Ralph Macchio and Petra Nemcova each earned only 22 points on Monday night. Many predicted that Wilkinson and her partner, Louis Van Amstel, would be heading home. The couple danced an unimpressive foxtrot to “Yankee Doodle,” and even though the judges told her that she was improving, she still had a long way to go. “It’s much better than last week,” head judge Len Goodman told her. “It was fun, and it was entertaining.” In the end, it was the supermodel who got booted. On Monday night, Nemcova and her partner quick-stepped to Elvis’ “Viva Las Vegas,” but the judges weren’t impressed. They liked that she handled the fast pace well, but said that this was far from her best dance. The voting public agreed, but Nemcova smiled and said she enjoyed her experience. “It’s been a life-changing journey for me,” the Czech-born model said after learning her fate. “I made amazing friends. Dmitry [Chaplin] put up with me for two months.” Related Photos ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 12 Cast Revealed The 2011 ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Cast’s Movie Past

Kendra Wilkinson failed to impress again on Dancing With the Stars, finishing tied for last Monday (albeit with two other couples, and a decent score). Decked out like a figure on a Fourth of July cake, the E! star looked less than inspired and more like she was simply trying to get through the foxtrot. She’s an amateur, of course, so no one expects her to be perfect. But you wonder if she’s still hurting from last week, after which she said she felt belittled and embarrassed by Carrie Ann Inaba. Watch and see: Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel – DWTS Week 5 Will Kendra go home, or will fans come out in force to save the Playboy model out of sympathy and support? We’ll find out by the end of the evening. Who do you think will WIN Dancing With the Stars?
Despite the cameo, it was Hines Ward who won over the judges with his rumba. By Kelley L. Carter John Travolta, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC Even the help of swift-footed John Travolta couldn’t get Kirstie Alley more points from the judges on Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars.” Alley’s “Look Who’s Talking” co-star appeared in a pre-taped segment as her “Dance Doctor.” The actress and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, have been grabbing headlines the last few weeks with their dancing mishaps, and Travolta, who has swiveled his hips in films like “Pulp Fiction,” “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever,” gave his friend a few pointers, joking in the segment that Alley should wear gym shoes instead of high heels. Still, the comedic bit wasn’t enough to bolster a higher score. The two earned 23 points out of 30 (only one point better than the week before), putting them ahead of three couples, who each earned 22 points. Here’s how the others fared: Hines Ward and Kym Johnson: The football star soared to the top of the leaderboard with his rumba to “God Bless the U.S.A.” “You make it look so easy,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. “You have the best hip action I have seen in a long time.” Score: 27/30. Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas: Last week’s critical darlings maintained a high position with a samba done to Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” Score: 26/30. Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke: The judges loved the wrestler’s interpretation of the Viennese waltz to “America the Beautiful.” “I feel like we’ve underestimated you,” Inaba told him. Head judge Len Goodman gave him 8 points. Score: 26/30. Romeo and Chelsie Hightower: The two performed a foxtrot to “New York, New York,” and impressed the judges with the improvement in Romeo’s posture and arm movements. Score: 26/30. Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel : The former playmate and reality star danced a foxtrot to “Yankee Doodle,” and the judges said she’s improving. “It’s much better than last week,” Goodman told her. “It was fun and it was entertaining.” Still, it wasn’t enough to keep them out of the bottom three. Score: 22/30. Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin: The supermodel and her partner quick-stepped to Elvis’ “Viva Las Vegas,” but judges were none too impressed. They liked that she handled the fast pace of the performance but said that this was far from her best dance. Score: 22/30. Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff: Once the early darlings of this season, they’ve dropped to a three-way tie for the lowest score this week. Their samba to “Sweet Home Alabama” did little to convince the judges that they should be contenders for the title this season. Goodman said the main problem is that Macchio isn’t consistent enough and needs more rhythm. Score: 22/30. Who was your favorite couple this week? Who should go home? Sound off in the comments!
