Today’s Gossip 05/24/08

It’s a three day weekend! It’s nice and sunny out, but I’d really like to see about five to ten degrees more in temperature. However, it’s not raining, so I’ll take it. The cookout isn’t until tomorrow, so until then, let’s do a little catch up with some celebrity gossip. Let’s dish a little.

Many of us were shocked when Cristian de la Fuente made the shocking decisions to continue on in Dancing With the Stars, despite tearing a tendon in his arm and needing surgery. He put off the surgery, only to come in third place after all, when his dances with Cheryl Burke began to look too odd being done with one arm. His doctor is saying now that he was able to get a “perfect repair of the bicep,” and after a week in a splint, Cristian will begin rehab. No word on whether dancing with the injury made it worse, but I’m still shaking my head on Cristian risking that just to get his hands on that disco ball trophy.

I, and many others, were shaking our collective heads at The Bachelor’s Matt Grant’s decision to choose to propose to Shayne Lamas out of the stable of twenty-five beautiful ladies he was presented with. Then photos popped up last week of Shayne posing as cover girl for Girls Gone Wild magazine. She isn’t clothed in at least one of the shots and in others she is simply in lingerie, but everything is covered somehow. Matt states he stands behind her on this and thinks it’s all just a “storm in a teacup.” It all just seems like further proof that her father, Lorenzo Lamas, was correct that she was in this to further her acting career. I’m putting my money on it not lasting past Labor Day. Read more »

With all the chatter about the David vs. David battle last night on Fox, no one is talking about the Dancing With the Stars finale on ABC, crowing a female for the first time in five years. Could this be because we knew it all along? Yeah, probably.

Everyone was amazed with Kristi Yamaguchi from the get go. Some felt she was a ringer, due to her past as a figure skating champion, yet they still couldn’t stop themselves at marveling at her talent. She was just really good. Many people were saying they should just hand her the title from the very beginning, but as we found out, she wasn’t necessarily running away with that mirrored disco ball trophy, no matter what Penn Jillette wanted to gripe about.
