Kendra Wilkinson on Dancing With the Stars: Her Final Performance?

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?

Hunger Games Casting Rumor: Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket?

Elizabeth Banks has been rumored for the part of Effie Trinket in the upcoming film adaptation of The Hunger Games, according to new reports. A buzzed-about cast already features Jennifer Lawrence as lead character Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale. The rumor of Banks as Effie , a flaky bureaucrat who escorts her district’s young death-match contestants to their fate, was first reported by Variety. Lionsgate would not confirm whether Banks will be joining the film, based on the bestselling young-adult novel (the first in a hit trilogy) by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, one boy and one girl from each district are chosen to fight to the death in a televised event. Banks has already taken on one huge new role this year: Mom. She and hubby Max Handelman welcomed a son, Felix, by gestational carrier in March. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
