It looks so easy on TV, but I’m sure once you get there the audience, lights, and the pressure of it all makes your mind just go blank.

I feel especially bad for the people at Reed College. Yikes.

Do you think you could handle being on a game show?

With so many amazing contenders in the ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ semifinals, it was really anyone’s guess who’d leave after Tuesday night’s elimination show.

So which three couples will move on to next week’s big finale?

Hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet, who was nice enough to introduce first-time viewers to her cleavage, kicked off the show by letting the judges choose an encore dance from performance night.

Len announced the honors would go to William and Cheryl’s samba, so the bronzed pair again took to the stage to showcase William’s bouncy backside to a grateful nation.

Then we got a backstage look at what exactly happened to Katherine after she flubbed the end of her second routine on Monday. Apparently a twinge in her back chose to make itself known at an inopportune time, and she was devastated — although it seemed she was more concerned about possibly costing Mark a spot in the finals than she was about herself.

Brooke’s cleavage called Katherine and Mark to the stage to learn their fate, and after they were told they were the first to make it to the finals, they jumped so high it honestly looked like they’d both been launched from ejector seats. Much rejoicing ensued, and we have to say we’re pleased we’ll get to see them next week.

Next up: Derek and Maria, who had a helluva night on Monday. But even though they were at the top of the judges’ leaderboard, they must have fallen short on audience votes because they were the first couple in jeopardy.

Then we got a peek at the upcoming ‘Rock of Ages‘ movie, only live on stage, featuring ‘DWTS’ vet Julianne Hough and the always-amazing Mary J. Blige. It was … well, see for yourself:

Donald and Peta were the next to be told they were in jeopardy, which course meant William and Cheryl moved on to the finals.

And in what many people will probably feel was a really shocking result, Maria and Derek were eliminated, even after getting one perfect score and one near-perfect score on Monday. Yeah, those audience votes do matter. (Is this a good time to say we predicted they’d come in fourth?)

But if Maria was surprised, she sure didn’t let it show. “I learned so many things,” she said about her time on the show. “I learned how strong I was. I learned to persevere.” Classy lady — and as we said, it really could’ve been anyone who went home.

See you next week, when we’ll finally find out who wins the coveted mirror ball trophy.

Howard Stern takes his gig as a judge on ‘America’s Got Talent‘ seriously — and during last night’s debut (May 14), the radio host earned rave reviews. We’re not shocked. Stern is the best thing that could have happened to the show, as his frank and candid commentary is just what a show like ‘AGT’ needs!

According to MTV, Stern’s reviews garnered near-universal praise, collecting comments from top critics across the country, who obviously connected with the fact that he wants to be on that show and likes his job.

The Los Angeles Times claimed that “like fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel, he [Stern] meant to play the game the way the game is meant to be played, because, to a deep degree, he believes in it.” True dat!

The Washington Post said that Stern dished out “a tiny bit of brutal honesty” — we think “tiny bit” is an understatement, just sayin’ — while basking “in the show’s trademark combination of awkwardness, ingenuity and love.” Anyone who listens to the Stern show on a daily basis knows that the “shock jock” is the king of the nerds, albeit one who isn’t afraid to talk to porn stars and their backdoor bedroom habits. For the most part, he kept the R-rated material off the show and focused on the contestants in fair fashion.

The New York Daily News said it best by proclaiming, “Inviting Stern on ‘AGT’ is not like inviting the Sex Pistols to crash ‘La Traviata’ at the Met. ‘America’s Got Talent’ didn’t hire Stern to inject outrageous and wacky. It didn’t need to. It has ‘em already.” Stern, instead, was “caught up in the show’s figurative group hugs and four-handkerchief moments.” His commentary proved that he is a softy at heart, but can be critical when necessary. Sort of like…a parent!

PEOPLE even gave him props, saying,”Stern showed a lot of heart and proved he’s got talent — for judging!” His fans already knew that!

Check out the clips for yourself.

For the father-daugher combo of Maurice and Shanice Hayes, he said,“You move me. You guys are spectacular together.I think every father in America watching is saying, ‘This is the kind of relationship I want with my daughter.’”

Watch him banter with a precocious 7-year-old, too.

Nice job, Howard!

Jorge Narvaez and his daughter Alexa stole the hearts of everyone in the audience and on the judges’ panel on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Jorge, clutching a guitar, introduced the world to his tiny tyke in footage of her getting a piggyback ride from her pops and telling cameras, “My daddy is my favorite singer in the whole entire universe!”

Alexa immediately charmed Sharon Osbourne, who waved and smiled at her. “I’m scared,” Alexa said with a smile at the beginning of their performance. “It’s a lot of people — 609!” Judge Howard Stern assured her, “You have many friends here,” to which the adorable lil’ angel grinned and said, “Okay, I won’t be scared!”

She and her proud papa took deep breaths and then began to whistle, then broke into song, ‘Home Is Wherever I’m With You.’ The crowd went pretty nuts for the cute duo, and the judges were equally pleased. Osbourne asked Alexa her age and how long she’d been singing (for the record, she’s 7 and has been singing since she was “about one year old,” per her calculations). Fellow judge Howie Mandel revealed he’d actually seen Alexa and Jorge on YouTube (their cover of the song has garnered 20 million hits and counting), while Stern had some too cute banter with the pint sized powerhouse.

After Osbourne explained the concept of voting to the sequin-sporting singer, the judges did just that — unanimously agreeing to send the proud fam to Las Vegas. Even notorious smack talker Stern had kind words for the pair, telling them, “This has been, by far, the most touching moment on the show for me.”

Last week saw two couples eliminated from the ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ competition, leaving us with what may be the best semifinal group yet. And on Monday night, they all danced their perfectly-toned backsides off — so who’s got the best shot at moving on to next week’s finale extravaganza?

Let’s find out … LIIIIIIIVE!

Hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet, who was clad in a life-sized Slinky, said everyone would be doing two dances for our entertainment. Oh, and it was also Sob Story Night, so we all learned a little more about the contestants’ hardships early in life. Good times.

And away we go.

William Levy and Cheryl Burke
First dance score: 28 out of 30 (9/9/10)
Second dance score: 30 out of 30 (10/10/10)

William also told us about his impoverished Cuban upbringing, saying when he was a kid, his dream was just to have a fridge with food in it. As he mentioned earlier in the season, his father was a political prisoner who brought the family to the US for asylum when William was 14. His modeling agents recalled seeing him for the first time and how he was gorgeous but had so few clothes that they actually had to go shopping for him. His modeling gigs led to acting gigs, and now he’s one of the biggest stars in Latin America.

On to the dancing … there’s a reason Cheryl’s won this thing twice, and getting fantastic partners is only part of it. She’s a terrific choreographer, and her first dance with William, a tango set to the Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),’ was sexy and sharp and fit the music perfectly. Len said he hadn’t “been this excited since my mother put me in long trousers,” which we’re guessing is Brit-speak for “dude, awesome,” Bruno said it was “full of animal magnetism,” and Carrie Ann had only the tiniest of constructive criticisms.

His second dance, a samba, featured him in tight white pants shaking his ass a lot (see, we told you Cheryl knows what she’s doing). Bruno called the dance “the pleasure zone” and said he had “bum envy,” Carrie Ann called it “freaking amazing,” and Len dubbed William “the hunk with the junk in his trunk.”

Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas
First dance score: 29 out of 30 (10/9/10)
Second dance score: 27 out of 30 (9/9/9)

Katherine was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music at 17, and rocketed to fame after being signed to a recording deal shortly thereafter. (It’s still so weird to see that booming operatic voice coming out of such a tiny chick.) Last December she apparently suffered an Adele-style breakup with her fiance and it left her in shreds. She credits ‘DWTS’ for helping to put a smile back on her face and for giving her something else to focus on.

Kind of surprised she didn’t mention her father’s death as she did earlier in the season when we got some contestant backstory, but maybe she felt it would’ve been exploitative. So props to her for that.

On to the dancing … Katherine said she’s come a long way in the competition — from demurely asking the costume designers to add more fabric to her dresses all the way to her currently provocative dance moves. Her quick-step looked like it had a few small errors to us, but if it did, most of the judges didn’t notice. Bruno called it “outstanding” with “amazing technique,” Carrie Ann said it may have been the best dance ever on ‘DWTS,’ and although Len did catch the mistakes, he deemed the performance “fabulous.”

Kat’s second dance, a salsa, was hawt and showed she’s clearly gotten more comfortable showing some skin. All was going swimmingly until the very last couple beats of the song when her back suddenly went out — she was horrified and in pain all at the same time, and she couldn’t stop apologizing to Mark. So awful. Regardless, Carrie Ann called the rest of the dance “fabulous,” Len called her “Katherine the Great,” and Bruno said she “unleashed the harlot” within.

At the end of the show, she was stoic but looked like she was in agonizing pain, and Tom said doctors were en route. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and she picks up some audience votes, because it would be an absolute shame for her to go out like that.

Donald Driver and Peta Murgatoyd
First dance score: 28 out of 30 (9/9/10)
Second dance score: 29 out of 30 (10/9/10)

Donald grew up in rough ‘hood in Houston, with a father in prison and a single mother raising five kids. The family wound up living under a bridge, and Donald’s mom eventually sent him and his brother to stay with their grandparents. Trouble — drugs, car thefts, etc — followed, even during his early athletic years. Meeting his wife in college was the turning point because she gave him an ultimatum: he could have her or the bad-boy lifestyle, but not both. He kept her and focused on football instead, eventually being drafted by the Green Bay Packers and going on to become a star wide-receiver with a Super Bowl championship under his belt.

On to the dancing … his first dance, a waltz, was simply gorgeous — fluid and lyrical and lovely. Carrie Ann complimented the emotion he displayed and called the performance “mesmerizing,” Len said Donald is a “big tough cream puff,” and Bruno loved his lines and arm extensions.

The samba he did next was sassy and fun (prediction: Peta has quite a future on this show). Len said it was “a bit careful” but he liked it, Bruno said it “worked beautifully,” and Carrie Ann said it was Donald’s “A+ game.”

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough
First dance score: 30 out of 30 (10/10/10)
Second dance score: 29 out of 30 (10/9/10)

Maria’s parents were Greek immigrants (as she’s often reminded us) who worked as janitors, and she was moved by how much they wanted to give her family a better life. She put herself through college, got a journalism degree, and covered earthquakes and wars for Channel One news — she even interviewed President Bush when she was all of 20. Damned impressive. She credits her parents for her work ethic, and wants to succeed to make them proud.

On to the dancing … while it’s usually the celebs who buckle under the pressure, Derek’s rehearsal footage seemed to show him in the midst of a panic-attack — something that’s especially odd for the show’s only three-time champ. Regardless, he soldiered on, and Maria’s Argentine tango had some amazing moves, ending with a pretty emotional moment between her and Derek. Len said he was “completely caught up in it,” Bruno gave it his usual bombastic praise, and Carrie Ann was in the throes of complimental (it’s a word because I say it is) ecstasy.

Her second dance seemed a bit muted for a jive, and Derek looked like he was doing most of the tricks, but overall it was a fresh interpretation. Bruno liked its “quirkiness,” Carrie Ann said it was a “stunner,” and Len called out a tiny stumble but enjoyed the “rhythm” of the performance.

There you have it. Tuesday night’s elimination will reveal who’s in the finale — see you then.

So, I’ve been seeing a new guy for a little while now…and he’s actually normal!! (I know, I’m just as shocked as you are.) The thing is…we need to give him a name. That’s where you come in. Let me explain…

Liz asked me this morning what his name is, or if we’re just referring to him as ‘The Boy”, which is what I’ve been calling him for the last few weeks. Well, in the interest of his privacy, I’m not gonna use his real name if/when I talk about him on the air, and so, he needs a nickname.

He’s pretty much the nicest guy in the world and he needs a super awesome nickname to match his super awesome personality.

And so I give it up to you…Name That Boyfriend!

It’s official! Demi Lovato is now an ‘X Factor‘ judge.

TMZ reports that Lovato, like fellow new judge Britney Spears, will hit up New York City to finalize her paperwork for the gig tomorrow (May 14). Though Lovato is scheduled to tour this summer, her ‘X Factor’ position shouldn’t interfere with her itinerary. Lovato will join Spears at the Fox Upfronts, where they will officially announce their casting on the series.

Lovato will likely be a great addition to the somewhat struggling Fox show, as she’ll draw in a younger demographic as well as be able to draw upon her own unique and sometimes dark experiences to coach contestants.

While Spears is said to be raking in $15 million for the show, Lovato’s payday isn’t yet known. She’s only been in talks for a pretty short time — the first reports of her involvement only popped up about two weeks ago, whereas Spears’ name had been swirling about for months. Auditions are scheduled to begin at the end of this month.

Lovato may not be the only Disney alum to sign on, either. Her pal and fellow Mouse House starlet Miley Cyrus is in talks to be the show’s new hostess with the mostess. Congrats, Demz!

Jennifer Lopez is excited to hit the road with Enrique Iglesias (and beau Casper Smart!), but there’s one caveat: will it be too much to tour and keep her stint as an ‘American Idol‘ judge?

When E! Online asked the starlet if she’d be returning to the Fox juggernaut, she wasn’t too quick to give a definitive answer. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “I have some movie things in the works and I have the tour. I love the show and it hurts me to think about not doing it, but I’m just taking it kind of day by day. We’ll see.”

Lopez revealed that a big factor in her work schedule is her kids. She absolutely adores her three-year-old twins Max and Emme and fears not being able to spend enough time with them if she spreads herself too thin. “It’s the biggest part because I never want to take on too much where they feel cheated in any way, shape or form. So everything kind of has to work,” she said. “When they tell me, ‘You need to make a decision right now,’ I go, ‘OK, let me think about it.’ Then I just say, OK, what are all the factors, what’s the pros and cons and just try to make the best decision for my kids.”

J. to the L-O is currently in the process of requesting a judge’s permission to take her kids out of state for her upcoming tour. The ‘Dance Again’ singer filed paperwork requesting that neither she nor ex Marc Anthony not need written permission to take Max and Emme out of the state of California. Lopez noted in the paperwork that both she and Anthony have upcoming tours outside of California, so this would make bringing the tykes along a lot easier.

At the 2012 Met Gala on Monday (May 7), new mom Beyonce admitted that she is nervous about her upcoming Atlantic City residency, which unfolds over Memorial Day weekend.

Bey? Nervous? Come on. She’s only one of the biggest and most beloved pop divas on earth. What does she have to be nervous about?

Well, for one thing, it’s her first show in about a year. She’s been on a hiatus from performing since she, you know, gave birth to her first child!

When interviewed quickly by ET on the red carpet, Bey revealed that she lost the Blue Ivy baby weight by “working really hard.” She admitted that she has not been hitting the gym, instead combining discipline with rehearsing for the shows! She said, “I have a show coming, my first show in a year. I’ve been dancing for eight hours a day. I am so nervous.”

Despite the nerves, Bey has a back up on speed dial. “I am calling on Sasha Fierce,” she said, referencing her alter ego. “I need her to come back.”

You’ll be fine, Bey! The shows sold out in minutes and a fourth gig was added due to demand, so fans are clamoring to see you.

The new mom was also asked if she would like to have another child and she said, with a knockout smile crossing her face, “Of course, yes. I don’t know how many, God knows, but I don’t know yet.” She also intimated that while she wants more children, she won’t be giving Blue a brother or a sister anytime soon.

All in good time. Bey has to focus on those AC shows right now!

Before Carson Daly began ticking off the results of the second season of ‘The Voice,’ he told Jermaine Paul that “You are not a background singer anymore.” Of course the longtime Alicia Keys vocalist had proven himself as a featured act before being announced the winner on Tuesday night but, his win vindicated a career’s worth of hard work and sacrifice.

From the very first week of the NBC reality series, Paul seemed to be on a mission. He took each challenge a bit more seriously than the rest of his competition, often coming across as arrogant or cocky when in truth it was just intense focus. He cemented his win by singing ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ and then ‘Soul Man’ with his coach Blake Shelton on Monday night.

Less than four percentage points separated Paul and runner-up Juliet Simms. Tony Lucca finished third, just one-quarter of one percentage point ahead of Team Christina Aguilera‘s Chris Mann. It was a suspenseful finish to a two-hour long episode that featured pedestrian collaborations and superstar cameos like a performance from Lady Antebellum.

“Thank you for everybody that voted for me!” Paul shouted between tears after Daly read his name as the winner. He was soon joined on stage by his entire family, including a wife that hugged his neck while he tried to get through his victory song, an encore of ‘I Believe I Can Fly.’

“God bless y’all man. Nobody but Jesus man! Nobody!”

By winning the singing competition, the New York born Paul receives a $1 million recording contract. It’s likely Shelton will bring him to as many shows as time allows like he did with his season one finalist Dia Frampton. Although Paul’s schedule may be significantly more full, he’s already booked for the ‘Today’ show on Friday. Perhaps he’ll be able to get a few hours of sleep before the whirlwind begins, but he may not want to.

Days after the passing of Beastie Boys‘ Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, the music world (and beyond) is still reeling. The loss has inspired many musicians to cover songs by the rap trio, and now fun. has honored the late MC with a unique rendition of ‘Sabotage.’

During their recent date at Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club, the New York band, led by Nate Ruess, launched into a high energy nod to MCA. Although it was short, and only featured one spotty verse from the ‘Ill Communication’ track, the sentiment was still there — Yauch will be missed.

The 47-year-old star made music with the Beastie Boys for over three decades, and was also known for his humanitarian and film work. The trailblazer is being mourned around the world, especially in his hometown of  New York where fun. is also based.

The ‘We Are Young’ band isn’t the only artist to pay tribute to the founding Beastie Boys member. Kid Rock, Travie McCoy and the Roots honored the B-Boys at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Coldplay treated fans to a heartfelt version of ‘Fight for Your Right’ at their L.A. show at the Hollywood Bowl last Friday, the day that Yauch died.

Fun. will play select dates around the country before heading to Chicago to perform at this year’s Lollapalooza festival.

Congrats Rihanna! The Bajan beauty’s new video, ‘Where Have You Been,’ broke the VEVO record for the most views in a 24 hour period.

The clip racked up a whopping 4.9 million views within its first 24 hours on VEVO’s site, and it only keeps growing. At the time of VEVO’s announcement, Rihanna had earned 4,937,281 views in the video’s first day on the Web. We bet her clothing choices — and at times lack thereof — helped!

This isn’t the first record Rihanna’s shattered. She earned 20 top 10 hits faster than any other artist in history and is the fourth artist ever to break 1 billion YouTube views. She has more Facebook likes than any other artist and is the most searched pop star on the Internet. Pretty much if a record was set by any musician (save Adele) so far this decade, she likely did it.

VEVO announced — and Rihanna celebrated — the victory with her beloved Navy on Twitter.

NUMBERS ARE IN! After filtering out the BS & triple-checking, @Rihanna #WHYBvideo24hrRECORD stands @ 4,937,281! Congrats! Your move, Bieber.

You dress up your baby in a black and white-striped hoodie and take him to the zoo. Plop him down in front of the glass to look at the lions…hilarity ensues.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, baby Jack’s mother, Heather Baltzor, said, “It was Jack’s first trip to the zoo. We didn’t even realize he looked like a zebra until we got home…”

The best part is how Jack doesn’t seem to notice or care that a giant lion is trying to EAT HIM.

Awesome.

So here’s my radio-approved remedy for sore throats and general sickness.

It’s super easy. Gummy bears in black tea. I’ll walk you through it:

Easy enough. I eat the red and clear ones (because they taste the best) the orange and yellow ones go for a swim, and the green ones go to whoever comes in and asks if they can have a gummy bear.

It’s yummy, it makes you feel better, it’s cheap, and you have an excuse to eat gummy bears.

(As for why it works, black tea reduces inflammation, the gelatin in the bears coats your throat. But I’m not a doctor, so just calm down and go with it.)

I’ll also be loading up on Vitamin-D enriched OJ, some chicken soup, and zinc tabs. Bring it on, Cold. I dare you.

Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way Ball world tour kicked off in Seoul on Friday (April 27) amidst drama and prayer groups that protested the gig. Footage of the fan-filmed has landed online, as as have details about the sexually-charged and entertaining show.

Some of the highlights are as follows:

Gaga rode onto the stage on horseback, making a dramatic entrance, proving that the drama was not just instigated by the media watchdog group that banned the show for any South Koreans under the age of 18.

She addressed the show ban for a certain age group, saying, “I was told that your government decided that my shows should be 18 or over… So, I’ll make sure it will be!” Rather than tone it down, the Mother Monster turned it up… And by several notches. The show included Gaga tossing herself and dancers into a fake meat grinder a la GWAR. Simulated group sex and lesbian activity also took place on stage.

There was a diamond-shaped cage with the outline of Gaga’s face affixed to the front of it that was lowered to the stage during ‘Heavy Metal Lover,’ while in the video for ‘Paparazzi,’ you can get a clear look at the castle that is the stage. It is a majestic visual spectacle. If you expected anything less from the Mother Monster, than you must not pay very close attention to her.

MTV reports that 45,000 little monsters made it out the show, despite the protestors that picketed the gig, calling it “obscene.”

According to MTV, the set list for the show consisted largely of tracks from ‘Born This Way,’ which is logical, since it’s the Born This Way Ball. However, the list fails to include ‘Paparazzi,’ which we know she performed thanks to the video footage below.

The music of Motown swept the ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ ballroom on Monday night. So — and please pardon the awful play on words — who cried the tears of a clown after Tuesday’s elimination?

Hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet didn’t waste any time announcing the first safe couples: William and Cheryl and Jaleel and Kym. No surprise on the first one, but since Jaleel was in the dance duel last week and thisclose to being eliminated, that’s one helluva comeback on his part.

The first two couples in jeopardy were Melissa and Maks and, in a surprise, Maria and Derek.

Next two safe couples were pretty obvious: Katherine and Mark, and Donald and Peta.

Gladys and Tristan and Roshon and Cheslie were announced as being in jeopardy — and wound up being the bottom two couples who had to participate in the dance duel.

That wasn’t good news for Gladys. Despite weak judges’ scores, she’s stayed out of trouble because of the audience vote. A worst-case scenario for her was winding up in a one-on-one competition with the judges determining who goes home based solely on that dance.

Honestly, it was rough to watch. Not because she was bad (she wasn’t) but because competing with a kid a third of her age just seemed … undignified somehow. Blech. We’d rather have just seen her voted out by the audience without that.

Then the judges had their say. Carrie Ann voted to keep Gladys, Len voted to keep Roshon, and Bruno cast the deciding vote — for Roshon. Which not only meant Gladys was out, it completely screwed up our prediction about Roshon coming in 8th place (although we did say Gladys would be in trouble in a dance duel).

No one looked happy about the outcome, but of course Gladys saw it coming and handled it like the classy lady she is.

See you next week.
