American Idol Performances of the Week: Michael Lynche and Lee DeWyze

Fans will ultimately have the final say, but to THG, Michael Lynche and Lee DeWyze stood out most on American Idol Tuesday. The judges were certainly impressed. In fact, Simon Cowell said that it was his cover of India.Arie’s “Ready for Love” that finally made him a credible artist in his eyes. For the surly Brit, that’s saying a lot. Slowing things down with an acoustic guitar, Big Mike sounded great and wowed the panel and audience alike. We’re pretty sure the voters will turn out for this, too. Here’s Michael Lynche singing “Ready For Love” … Ready For Love Lee DeWyze also made a statement last night, perhaps propelling himself to contender status with a soulful, raspy, powerhouse rendition of “Treat Her Like a Lady.” “This was the night your life may have changed forever,” Simon said. Again, high praise from the man. Follow the jump to see Lee do his version of the classic … Treat Her Like a Lady

Mindy McCready Sex Tape: Released, Hilarious

The long-awaited Mindy McCready sex tape (don’t act like you weren’t wondering about it) is on the verge of being released, and its premise is far from unfunny. With Mindy McCready, Baseball Mistress , the troubled singer joins the ranks of sex tape purveyors like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian , Shauna Sand, and so on. The funny thing about calling it Baseball Mistress – besides that Mindy McCready has a sex tape at all – is that it’s a reference to her affair with Roger Clemens . The steroid fiend and MLB legend is not featured on the tape, of course. Minor detail. Still, McCready donned baseball-themed garb for the cover, so … yeah: The affair that rocked baseball? The testimony that shocked Congress? Okay, those things apply to Roger Clemens. The raw sex that started it all? Not sure how that does . We have to guess that Vivid Entertainment, which has set an April 19 release date for the Mindy McCready sex tape, will be hearing from Rog’s lawyer Rusty Hardin. Then again, he isn’t mentioned by name, and who knows, maybe he already gave his consent in exchange for a cut of the profits. Dude’s image kind of took a hit. The video features McCready and a boyfriend named “Peter,” and in addition to the feverish body slapping, McCready offers commentary about previous conquests. Her bedpost notches include Alan Jackson, Dean Cain and, of course, Clemens. No mention of Kari Ann Peniche, whose Eric Dane tape Mindy’s accused of stealing .

Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Maybe Dating!

Holy freaking hotness. That’s all we can say about the rumor that Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, partners on the new season of Dancing with the Stars , are partnering off the dance floor as well. Maks even said it might be on! Chmerkovskiy says that he and the ESPN sportscaster are ” maybe ” dating. That’s a lot closer to dating than “no,” right? He also lavished praise upon his partner. “She doesn’t hold back. She’s open, and what you see is what there is,” Chmerkovskiy told People magazine. “Everybody who meets her falls in love with her.” Himself included? Sounds like it! Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy work it. Chmerkovskiy, who was engaged to fellow Dancing with the Stars cast member Karina Smirnoff for a time, credited himself for pushing Andrews during their first dance together last Monday, which ranked among the season premiere’s best . “I made her do a cha-cha that I would make a professional dancer do,” he said, and it paid off, as Erin Andrews isn’t shy about gushing about him either. “When Kentucky was upset, [Maks] texted me about it,” the ESPN reporter said of having to miss some of the NCAA tournament for DWTS rehearsal. “Maks was like, ‘You are the only person I know that cares about this.’ He’s been adorable.” Who are you rooting for on Dancing with the Stars? Erin and Maks? We can understand that, but there are other good candidates too. Vote below …

Behind the Scenes of Dancing with the Stars

The 10th season of Dancing with the Stars is officially underway, and while we already ran down Monday’s results , here are some things you might have missed: Dedicated to dad : Shannen Doherty signed on to do the show for her father, Tom, who suffered a stroke in December, and wept after her debut Viennese waltz. “I couldn’t keep it together,” the original Beverly Hills: 90210 star said. “I always said I’d never be that girl that cried on camera, but I did. Oh well, it’s my Daddy.” Brooke brings it . Brooke Burke’s co-hosting debut was a success, for one reason “Having a partner like Tom [Bergeron] who’s impeccable helps,” Burke said. Just wing it : As for another one of Monday evening’s surprise success stories, Pamela Anderson claims she “has never rehearsed for anything a day in her life.” Her sexy bed head-inspired cha cha was surely worth the hours she and her partner, newcomer Damian Whitewood , logged in the studio the past three weeks. “It was a lot of training,” says Anderson. “We want to do something different every time. It’s not always going to be sex, drugs, rock and roll, ripping off clothes.” No? Shame. Pamela Anderson was inspired by Pamela Anderson last night. Star struck . Cheryl Burke sure was. Rehearsing with Chad Ochocinco in Miami, he lives “was like being with the President,” she joked. “He’s the king of Miami.” “People stopped their cars to say hello. He has a great life,” she says, though he has to work on “his McDonald’s-heavy diet … no idea how he has a 12-pack.” The girls of Jake Pavelka . The Bachelor may be over, but he’s still got women following him everywhere. Jake’s fiancee, Vienna Girardi was front and center. Joining Vienna were the other ladies in Pavelka’s life – his mother, Sally, former Bachelor contestant Gia Allemand, and even The Bachelorette star Jillian Harris. All the women were rooting for pilot, who turned in a respectable waltz with Chelsie Hightower. Performing in front of the live audience “was awesome,” he said. Who are you rooting for on Dancing with the Stars?
