Celebrity Gossip and Photos

Well, shows what we know.

Following the shocking elimination of Shannen Doherty, Dancing With the Stars either established itself as wildly unpredictable or wrought with conspiracy.

Is a ratings-boosting fix in from ABC? Are voters going all Sanjaya on us and trying to keep the worst peeps on? Does no one recall the original 90210?

Whatever the reason, despite a semi-respectable two-week score of 38, good for seventh place out of 11 by the judges’ tallies, Doherty is outta here.

Despite being wildly outperformed, Kate Gosselin, who was among the bottom three vote getters, escaped elimination Tuesday. What a complete joke.

Even more amazing? Pamela Anderson, despite being the fourth highest rated performer by the judges, landed in the bottom two along with Doherty.

ONE AND DONE: It’s all over for Shannen Doherty and Mark Ballas.

The 38-year-old Shannen said on last week’s season premiere that she joined the show’s cast to honor her father, a big fan who recently suffered a stroke.

“To see my dad’s face light up the way it did and how proud he was of me filled me with this kind of amazing emotion of thankfulness,” Doherty said Tuesday.

“I call that a success.”

Why was this angle not played up more by producers? Or the fact that her partner was dancing hurt? Because they were more worried about keeping Kate on.

Doherty led off Monday’s show, while Gosselin closed it out. Kate’s dancing royally sucked, but a heated spat with Tony Dovolani was fresh in the voters’ minds.

They patched things and performed a Jive Bruno Tonioli called “a disaster,” but apparently it was good enough to buy her another week, along with Buzz Aldrin.

What do you think? Did the voters make the right decision? Should Kate have gone home? Who are you rooting for on Dancing with the Stars?

Newly-minuted Oscar winner Sandra Bullock was on top of the world just a few weeks ago. Now she’s hit rock bottom amid the tawdry Jesse James cheating scandal.

James nailed Michelle McGee, Melissa Smith, Brigitte Daguerre and possibly others – but it was a shocking discovery of her own that sent The Blind Side star reeling.

Reeling so hard, according to reports, that it’s left Sandra Bullock wondering if she can ever face her cheating hubby, who just checked in to rehab in Tucson, again.

Star reports that Sandra “mistakenly grabbed Jesse’s laptop in the rush to move out of the house they shared in Sunset Beach, Calif.” What she found? SICK stuff.

No, seriously. We’re talking worse than the Jesse James Nazi photo.

Says a source, “the explicit material rocked her to the core… she stumbled upon some really twisted evidence proving he’s not the man she thought he was.” Uhh…

WHAT SANDRA SAW … made her collapse and not eat?

“She found things on his laptop that she’d never thought her husband would be into,” the source adds vaguely. “This was way beyond anything she could imagine.”

Sandra was so horrified, she “had to have the computer removed from her house.” Okay, what the heck was this guy doing, running a … you know what, forget it.

The insider concludes his or her in-depth report with this brutally honest truth: “Sandra’s just completely devastated that Jesse led a double life behind her back!”

Wow, ya think? Bold statement there.

So what was on the computer? We may never know, people. We may never know. But it sounds like it’s some seriously nasty $h!t … putting Tiger Woods to shame!

Below are two other tabloid covers this week broaching the issue somewhat less scandalously. But come on. How long until you think Sandra files for divorce?

Sandra Bullock should totally …

Who is Mindy McCready, you ask? A hot ass blonde country singer who is following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian and who just had a sex tape “leaked”. Chances are my readers will now head over to google or Wikipedia and do a search for Mindy McCready. That means that her getting drilled on tape did exactly what she wanted: get her known.

The Mindy McCready sex tape is being distributed by Vivid Entertainment, the same company that marketed Kim Kardashian’s sex tape a few years back. If nothing else, that should make Mindy feel like she’s playing in the major leagues.

Speaking of major leagues, in her interview for Vivid, Mindy mentioned that she was baseball player Roger Clemens’ lover (although he is not the guy on the video), and adds that although his wife was close to catching them in the act a couple of times, she never found out about Clemens’ infidelity. Until now.

The Bank of Beek is open for Heather McComb.

James Van Der Beek is now one step closer to freedom, reaching a settlement with his estranged wife to amicably end their seven-year marriage this week.

Per court documents, the former Dawson’s Creek star and McComb hashed out the deal through mediation. He agreed to pay $7,750 a month until 2013.

Heather McComb, a onetime Party of Fiver who has guested on CSI and Prison Break, currently earns just $1,750 a month. The Beek? $35,000. Damn.

James van der Beek and Heather McComb are done for.

The actor will also retain possession of the couple’s Hollywood home and keep residuals from his acting career and various projects/screenplays he’s optioned/written.

Van Der Beek and McComb, 32, tied the knot in July 2003. He filed for divorce late last year citing irreconcilable differences. The couple does not have any children.

The divorce should be official later this year.

Kate Gosselin proved she’s as good at being a diva as she is terrible at actual dancing, but she somehow survived to see another week on Dancing with the Stars. 

While Kate butted heads with partner Tony Dovolani this past week, wait until you hear what they have planned for next Monday’s episode of the competition.

A Jon-and-Kate-themed dance.

We are totally serious. Tony will be channeling Jon Gosselin as Kate portrays herself in next week’s storytelling assignment. Just let that sink in for a moment:

They will take her marriage implosion, which made celebrity news headlines for a year, into a high-step dance routine. And you think you’ve heard everything.

If Jon Gosselin makes a cameo next week, we’ll retire.

“It’s my story over the past two years,” Kate said. “We’re very, very excited.” It will be very “Dramatic,” promises Kate. To which Tony replies, “Lots of drama.”

And ratings, most likely. Can Julianne Hough play Hailey Glassman?

Just to make sure we got the point, Kate reiterated, this time with a little more emphasis, that this is gonna be a dance with “Oh my gosh, so much drama.”

As much as we could decry this shark-jumping, contrived nonsense as a low point in reality TV history, it’s actually a pretty genius move on ABC’s part since:

• People love Kate and don’t want to see her leave the show
• People love watching Kate humiliate herself on the show

Either way, she’s on the show. Punch her ticket to the finals now.
