‘Dancing With The Stars’ Finale: Jennifer Grey Bests Bristol Palin

Kyle Massey comes in second place in the surprise-filled season. By Kelley L. Carter Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough on “Dancing With the Stars” Tuesday Photo: ABC Is it safe to say that Jennifer Grey had the time of her life during this season of “Dancing With the Stars”? Considering that she took home the top prize during Tuesday night’s (November 23) finale, that’s a resounding yes. Before the winner was announced, past contestants from this season were invited back to settle scores and dance one last go-round. One dance highlight of the night was Rick Fox versus Kirk Warner — and the two played up their basketball and football backgrounds. Then the three finalists — Bristol Palin, Kyle Massey and Grey — came back to dance one last time before the big reveal. The moment that everyone has been waiting for came: The tension was thick, as viewers waited to find out whether Palin would nab a controversial win. Turns out, there was no need for all the controversy. Palin landed in third place but received a standing ovation from the crowd. “I have so many good memories in this competition,” Palin said. “It’s been a life-changing experience.” Palin smiled as she and her partner Mark Ballas watched a montage of their special moments throughout the season. Once Palin was eliminated, Grey and her partner Derek Hough being named the champions seemed like a foregone conclusion. The announcement was the first non-surprise of the season, considering that the actress had consistently been a front-runner in the dance competition. Grey, who had a flawless finale performance the night before, fought back tears while nodding in agreement when co-host Tom Bergeron mentioned that she didn’t think she’d be able to actually perform at the finale, given that she had a few injuries that were bothering her. Grey paraded and danced with the trophy before she and Hough were lifted in the air by their fellow contestants. Are you happy with the outcome? Share your thoughts in the comments!

NBC’s O’Donnell: Palin ‘Rips the Heart Out of Her Opponents’ in New Book

NBC correspondent Norah O'Donnell hyped Sarah Palin's criticism of her liberal opponents on Tuesday's Today show, stating that the former governor ” rips the heart out of some of her opponents ” in her new book. O'Donnell stated that Palin, ” in very personal terms, also questions the President's [Obama's] patriotism, concluding he has 'a stark lack of faith in the American people.' ” The correspondent covered “America By Heart,” the Republican's second book, for the second straight day. Anchor Matt Lauer introduced her report, which began 40 minutes into the 7 pm Eastern hour, by immediately noting Palin's attacks on Mr. Obama: “Sarah Palin's much-anticipated new book hits stores today. NBC News received an advanced copy last night, and the former Alaska governor is not holding back when it comes to President Obama .” O'Donnell picked up where he left off: “Well, you know, her new book is called 'America By Heart.' It's full of what she calls 'reflections on faith, family and flag.' But with all the attacks on President Obama and others, some say it could be a handbook for her for a 2012 campaign .” read more

Sarah Palin Blasts Katie Couric on Fox: ‘I Swear to You, I Will Not Waste My Time With Her’

Fox News is promoting tonight's interview with Sarah Palin on Hannity . She's declared she will not “waste” her time with the CBS anchor who drew all kinds of praise and even awards for pummeling Palin in 2008 (after going all cuddly with “close-talking, free-wheeling, ice-cream eating” Joe Biden ). Hannity asked: “Would you even do another interview with Katie Couric?” Palin said she would like to be more open with journalistic professionals, but left Couric out of that category: As for doing an interview though, with a reporter who already has such a bias against whatever it is that I would come out and say, why waste my time? No. I want to clean up the state, that is so sorry today, of journalism. And I have a communications degree. I studied journalism – who, what, when, where, and why of reporting. I will speak to reporters who still understand that cornerstone of our democracy, that expectation that the public has, for truth to be reported, and then we get to decide our own opinion based on the facts reported to us. So, a journalist, a reporter who is so biased and will no doubt spin and gin up whatever it is that I have to say to create controversy? I swear to you, I will not waste my time with her. read more

Bristol Palin Apologizes For Facebook Drama

‘Willow and I shouldn’t have reacted to negative comments about our family,’ she writes after lobbing insults at another user. By Mawuse Ziegbe Bristol Palin Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images Like her mother, Bristol Palin has become a divisive figure for American voters. Although, for the younger Palin, it’s not her political views, but her footwork on “Dancing With the Stars” that has riled up viewers casting their ballots for who will take the crown on the ABC hit. The family has also come under increased scrutiny after the TLC show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” hit airwaves, and the criticism caused Bristol and another Palin lady to sound off against critics. Bristol’s younger sister Willow lobbed an anti-gay slur at a Facebook user who trashed the reality-show premiere Sunday night, writing , “Tre stfu. Your such a f—-t.” Bristol also jumped in the fray with, “You’re running your mouth just to talk sh–” Days later, however, Bristol took to her Facebook page to apologize for the volley of e-barbs. “Willow and I shouldn’t have reacted to negative comments about our family. We apologize,” read a message posted on her page Wednesday. “On a nicer note, thank you for supporting the great competition in ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ ” Hours after the contrite missive was released, the ballroom-dance novice, whose prolonged stay on “Dancing” has become a heated topic of debate among watchers, rallied her fans and blasted her detractors. “Thank you supporters who continue to support,” she wrote. “The haters are already pulling out all the stops this week to destroy.” As one of the final three celebrities vying for the “Dancing” title, Bristol will hoof it alongside Disney star Kyle Massey and “Dirty Dancing” actress Jennifer Grey, who turned in two perfect-scoring performances on Monday. Although Bristol earned a 53/60 score , the judges conceded the 20-year-old single mom has grown a significant amount over the season. “I still think you’ve come so far,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said.

Mel Gibson Wants Sole Custody of Daughter

After watching Oksana Grigorieva on Larry King last night, Mel Gibson didn’t issue any sort of rebuttal. Rather, he sought sole custody of their daughter, Lucia. The actor’s lawyers will appear in court to ask the judge in his custody war to award him sole custody of baby Lucia in response to Oksana’s sitdown on CNN. Team Mel alleges that Oksana’s false and derogatory statements to the media show she is not acting in the best interests of Lucia and should cost her custody. MEL VS. OKSANA : With new barbs traded every day, this is one of the ugliest custody feuds we’ve ever seen, and the scary thing is that it’s only beginning . In addition to attempting to take custody from Oksana Grigorieva, Mel’s lawyers will ask Judge Scott Gordon to award her visitation, but only with a monitor.
