Kristi wins DWTS

Olympic gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi won the Dancing with the Stars mirror-ball trophy last night, beating out NFL star Jason Taylor and actor Cristián de la Fuente.

"This is just the icing on the cake," Yamaguchi said about the win. "Honestly, from the bottom of my heart I want to thank all the fans out there and everyone involved...for making this a dream experience."

Yamaguchi was the first female winner in four seasons, since soap opera star Kelly Monaco won the inaugural season of Dancing with the Stars.

"This is definitely for all those women out there to continue to be strong," she said after the win.

Yamaguchi and her partner Mark Ballas were the judges' favorite, earning a perfect 90 out of 90 - a first in DWTS history - for the week.

"Obviously the fans are the deciding factor here," Yamaguchi said, "and I can't say enough to thank them."

The skater also won fans among her dancing peers.

"Kristi deserved it more than any other woman in any other season," said professional dancer Cheryl Burke, who partnered de la Fuente. "It's about time that a woman wins."

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said that Yamaguchi's athletic background helped her win, since athletes can channel criticism and turn it into results, and also noted that her personality emerged throughout the season.

"She was technically great and she was doing incredible choreography," Inaba said. "She was able to really develop her crowd-pleasing skills and that's what set her over the top."

Yamaguchi's competitors also credited her dancing. Taylor called her "just perfect," and de la Fuente said "it was impossible to beat her."

The skater said that while the win does not match her Olympic gold medal, it was still a "fun, amazing experience."

"It's not just this [trophy] but what it represents," she said. "It's all the hard work and the time spent together and the friendships made, challenging yourself and learning something new."

Exclusive! Indiana Jones &The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Review

Check out a review of the film before it hits theaters on May 22nd!

{Insert Indiana Jones anthem here!} Get ready, Dr. Jones fans! The newest summer blockbuster hitting theaters does not disappoint – packed with cryptic code-breaking, mythical quests and yes even, snakes! PCM got a sneak peak at the latest film from George Lucas & Steven Spielberg. You guessed it! Grab your fedoras and whips and read the exclusive review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Old meets new in this thrilling installment of Indiana Jones movies. Dr. Jones (Harrison Ford) is back escaping villains, swinging through jungles and cheating death as he treks through Peru with a handful of new faces. Newcomer Shia LaBeouf (Mutt Williams) is a great addition to the film. He’s sure to attract younger audiences who may not be as familiar with the older Indiana Jones movies. His charming and adventurous character is loveable and LaBeouf acts very well off Ford. In between all the action, the pair even offers a few comedic spats that break up the explosions and high-speed chases. And perhaps even LaBeouf will keep the journey going and turn into the new star of future films.

He’s definitely a different Jones then one may remember (older?!), yet Ford still looks great in his old hat and getup. He hopped right back into character and kept me entertained! Diehard fans will be satisfied as many references (and characters) are made from the older films. All of Indy’s old tricks are still likely to leave stunned audiences asking, “How did he get out of that jam?!”

It’s worth a trip to the theaters. The adventure and wild stunts are likely to keep male adrenaline soaring while Ford, and even LaBeouf, ooze enough good looks and swagger to keep the women in the audience giddy. The villains and storyline get pretty extreme but if you’re there to enjoy it and go with it, you won’t be left discontented. One thing is for sure, you’ll have the Indiana Jones theme song stuck in your head for a few hours after viewing this flick!

Mariah plans $4 million wedding

Mariah Carey is planning an extravagant second wedding to her new husband, actor Nick Cannon. The two privately wed in a small ceremony in the Bahamas April 30.

"It's going to be held in New York City in the next six weeks. Picture a wedding on the scale of Liza Minnelli's [to David Gest], and you'll be on the right track," a source said to MSNBC's Scoop.

"She wants over 2,000 guests and the budget will be well over $4 million and she'll have at least 14 bridesmaids," the source added.

The chart-topping songstress also recently told Ellen DeGeneres that she and Nick plan to have an annual celebration of their nuptials.

Rumors have speculated there was no prenuptial agreement in place for the initial wedding, but Carey told a friend: "Anyone who thinks we didn't have a prenup is smoking something!"

In related news, the diva's music allegedly was the cause of a road rage incident today.

Twenty-year-old Zachary Alan Schreiber of Florida was reportedly driving down a busy street with Mariah Carey's CD blaring when a passenger in another car, William Greenman, 22, started a war of words about Schreiber's choice in music.

According to NBC News, Schreiber then threw a beer bottle at Greenman while both cars were stopped at a stoplight.

Although the bottle missed Greenman, it did hit the driver, 21-year-old Christine Bec, in the head.

Schreiber was arrested at the scene and charged with criminal mischief and shooting a missile into a vehicle.

Musician and author Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe and Sixx:A.M. was recently honored at Covenant House California’s 9th annual Awards Gala held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The highlight of the evening was a check presentation of $250,000 to Covenant House by honoree Nikki Sixx. Sixx is donating a portion of proceeds from his New York Times best-selling book The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star to benefit Running Wild In The Night, a creative arts program he created for Covenant House California at their youth shelters in Los Angeles and Oakland. This summer, Sixx will make stops in the U.S. and Canada, performing with both of his bands, Mötley Crüe and Sixx:A.M. as a part of Crüe Fest, also featuring performances by Buckcherry, Papa Roach, and Trapt.

Slaying on Television to Resume Tonight

Last week's twist ending to CSI: in which Gary Dourdan's character, Warrick Brown, takes two bullets to the neck begins the time of season finales, which for many characters may be more permanent than a summer vacation.

Tonight viewers can expect at least two people getting the ax with the finales of American Idol and NCIS. American Idol is down to its two final contestants. One will perish and the other will be crowned American Idol.

CBS continues the "finale killings" with a two-hours of NCIS, in which a major series regular will perish. One of the producers is quoted saying that the death will make fans "throw things at the screen." This is the second major death since Sasha Alexander's character Sp. Agent Caitlin Todd died at the end of season two. So far two deaths have occurred in the CBS primetime line-up and maybe more will follow.

Previews for Criminal Minds among other CBS programs depict possible murders of the main characters. CBS has announced 6 new series for the fall 2008 season, but they have lost a fan base from their stronger shows with these "finale slayings." With American Idol we're expecting the contestants to get voted off not Simon.

Is JT proposing?

Reports have speculated that Justin Timberlake is preparing to propose to Jessica Biel.

"Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica," a source told The Sun. "He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with."

The proposal rumors come amidst other speculation that 26-year-old Biel is pregnant. A source close to the couple said that actress is abstaining from alcohol.

The Sun is also reporting that Timberlake is considering marrying on the privately-owned West Indian island of Mustique so that the couple and their guests can avoid the media and paparazzi attention.

"Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private," the source told the paper. "To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can't put a price on how he feels about Jessica."

Beyoncé under fire for ads

Beyoncé Knowles is under fire for an ad campaign for a kids collection of her House of Deréon clothing line. Fox News discussed the ads and the message they send to children.

"A lot of parents have been noticing for many, many years now that there has been increasing 'pornification' of advertising, clothing lines," said Fox News contributer Michelle Malkin. "What makes this example particularly odious... is that you have someone who has... postured as a role model for young women, and the fact that her mother is involved in it as well.

The entire report is available below.

Katie Holmes hits the stage

Katie Holmes has signed on for her Broadway debut in a fall revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons. Her costars are John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson.

A rep for the actress had told E! News in March that the actress was in negotiations for the role.

Although a place and a premiere date have yet to be established, Holmes will reportedly be on stage six days a week in the World War II tale, based on a true story. Directed by Simon McBurney, All My Sons is about the aftermath for a family whose patriach was involved in black-market business dealings.

It is Holmes' first play since high school, and already the move is being compared to Nicole Kidman's well-received Broadway debut 10 years ago, when she was still married to Tom Cruise.

Lilo sued over fur coat

Masha Markova has sued Lindsay Lohan over stealing her $12,000 golden sheared mink coat in January, the Associated Press reported. The 22-year-old New York college student and the soon-to-be 22-year-old actress were at the New York City nightclub 1Oak when the alleged theft occurred, according to papers filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.

Markova said she saw Lohan wearing the coat in a magazine photo. "It was my coat. It was no doubt," she told the New York Post. The club reportedly returned the coat to her in February.

Lohan's rep did not reply to queries about the lawsuit, but she did supported her in the past when Lohan was accused of stealing clothes from 23-year-old model Lauren Hastings' closet.

"This is not true. It's not what it seems," the rep for the actress said.

At the time, Inside Edition reported that Hastings filed a suit but the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office declined to prosecute the actress due to insufficient evidence.

Are Jessica Simpson & Tony Romo still together?

Despite rumors that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo broke up, the two spent the weekend of Ashlee Simpson's wedding together, looking very much like a couple.

The two reportedly went on a sushi run in L.A. Friday, and later the NFL-star attended the rehearsal dinner, held at maid of honor Jessica Simpson's Beverly Hills home.

"They were very cozy and cute together," a source said in response to Internet rumors that Jessica Simpson was devestated by her ex-boyfriend John Mayer's new relationship with Jennifer Aniston. "She's definitely not mourning John Mayer! She was in an amazing mood and so happy her sister was getting married."

The source also said Romo stayed close to his girlfriend (?) at Saturday's wedding and reception.

"They were kissing and holding hands throughout the night," the insider said. "He was very sweet to her. They were very much a couple."

Recent evidence seems to disprove Internet reports the last few weeks, where friends of Romo said the two had split. In addition, Simpson's rep said the rumors were "not true."

Kenny Chesney is the big winner at the ACM Awards

Kenny Chesney was the big winner at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday night. The 40-year-old singer took home the entertainer of the year award at the Las Vegas Ceremony.

"This one is really extra special because long before I had a hit

Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz tie the knot

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz tied the knot in an intimate ceremony Saturday evening, their spokesperson told People.

The couple wed at the Encino home of the bride's parents, sources told E! News.

"We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends," the spokesperson said.

Simpson's father, Joe, performed the nondenominational 7 p.m. service. Among the 150 guests were the bride's sister and maid of honor Jessica, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden and Wentz's Fall Out Boy bandmates. Jessica Simpson took Tony Romo, although reports have stated that the two broke up.

The ring-bearer was Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway.

The bride wore a Monique Lhuillier gown and Neil Lane jewelry, while the bridal party was dressed in Vera Wang.

A source told E! News that the wedding had a "goth-like" motif; many of the guests wore "black or very dark" clothing and female guests painted their nails black, resulting in a "very unwedding like" themed affair.

The reception reportedly had an Alice in Wonderland theme.

According to E! Online, guests parked in a nearby parking garage and were shuttled to the Simpson family home. Although large tents blocked the view, security was tight as helicopters with paparazzi flew above the compound.

The wedding festivities began on Thursday with bachelor and bachelorette parties, and on Friday there was a rehearsal dinner at Jessica Simpson's home.

It is the first marriage for both Simpson and Wentz, who are also expecting their first child, according to sources who spoke to E! News.
