‘The opportunity to host 75,000 people live for four hours, that’s very special,’ he tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Photo: MTV News When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced his intention — during a raucous appearance on “Raw” last month — to return to the world of WWE to host WrestleMania XXVII , the question for fans was whether the grappler-turned-Hollywood hotshot would get in the ring for the first time since 2004. And in a chat with MTV News this week, Johnson made clear he’s expecting to do much more than simply emcee the event. “I’m going to take my fist and lay it across somebody’s lips and take my boot — which is a size 14, so it’s a big boot — and stick it straight up somebody’s ass,” he told us. “How about that? I say that with love!”
As you already know, WrestleMania is coming on Sunday, so to get ready, we have a few lists for you. Today, we’re taking a look at the coolest Black Wrestlers we grew up watching and even still check today.
Following their Sunday night arrest , all three participants in last week’s Teen Mom 2 -based brawl – Jenelle Evans, Britany Truett and Brittany Maggard – have all been officially charged with disorderly conduct. They could all face 60 days in prison. But Evans’ attorney, Dustin Sullivan, has already come up with a defense for his perpetually troubled client. He tells TMZ there’s a “serious problem” and it’s that Truett, the victim in the brawl, “was paid substantially” for the photos of her injuries and the video that has circulated online. Why were there multiple cameras present when Jenelle arrived at Britany’s house? Why did Truett wait five days to call the cops? Sullivan finds these issues “highly suspicious” and is in the process of interviewing witnesses. He believes Evans has been set up in some way and will take that argument to the jury if the case proceeds. Of course, none of that changes two facts: Evans threw the first punch and Evans jumped on Truett and continued to pummel her into a pulp, long after Britany had stopped fighting back.
Simply put, Carrie Ann Inaba said last night: “I’m loving me some Chris Jericho right now.” The Dancing with the Stars judge was reacting to the WWE wrestler’s version of the Quickstep, as Jericho and Cheryl Burke were one of three pairings to garner 23 points on week two . With a total of 42 after two routines, there’s a very good chance Chris and Cheryl will return to shake, grind and move some more next Monday. Think they deserve to do so? Check out their performance below: Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke – Quickstep

Stars show Twitter love for actress Chelsea Kane and dance pro Tony Dovolani as the reality show kicks off a new season. By Jocelyn Vena The Jonas Brothers Photo: Jim Spellman/ WireImage On Monday night, the new season of “Dancing With the Stars” kicked off, and while the latest installment of the show is noticeably absent of MTV reality stars, it does have a Disney starlet. Disney stars tend to be a staple on the hit TV dance competition and this time around Chelsea Kane has been recruited. Under her given name, Chelsea Staub, the actress has appeared on such hit shows as “Wizards of Waverly Place” and “JONAS.” Kane’s co-stars of the latter program sent out their love and support to the 22-year-old, who is dancing with Mark Ballas. She ended up getting 21 out of possible 30, and the Jonas Brothers seemed proud of their one-time TV cohort. “Team Kanenball! Help support @ChelseaKane tonight on DWTS!” the brothers tweeted , while Nick Jonas added , “How awesome was @ChelseaKane on #DWTS!” Former contestant and “Hills” star Audrina Patridge also checked out the premiere episode, and showed her love and support for her former dance partner, pro Tony Dovolani. She tweeted , “Watching @Tonydovolani and Wendy Williams on dwts!!!! ….Good job guys:) I miss it!!!!!!” Patridge and Dovolani were frontrunners last season, but it seems that he’s not having as easy as a go of it with his new partner. He and Williams only clocked in with 14 points. The talk-show host, however, didn’t have the lowest score of the night. That distinction was bestowed on “Loveline” co-host Mike Catherwood, who managed to only scrounge up a 13. The highest score of the evening went to Ralph Macchio, who seemed to channel some of those “Karate Kid” moves as he notched a 24. As for the remaining celebrity dancers, Kristie Alley scored a 23, footballer Hines Ward rated a 21, singer Romeo and WWE wrestler Chris Jericho both tallied 19 points, model Petra Nemcova and Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson each notched an 18, and Sugar Ray Leonard earned a 17.

JWoww has apparently taught her understudy well. If you predicted Snooki would get her rear end handed to her on WWE last night, you made a safe assumption. But you were surprisingly wrong. The Princess of Poughkeepsie pulled some hair, bashed some skulls, pounded some face with her fists of fury and even dropped a crotch bomb. If you don’t know what that means, just watch: Snooki on WWE Of course, this was just the battle. The war is far from over … because this 4’9″ ball of aggression will now be taking her talents to WrestleMania! After her impressive handling of the Lay-Cool lady tag-team, Snooki was challenged to a three-on-three coed brawl at the big show in April. She accepted. It is ON then.
