Thursday Gossip Bites


--The dance cards for season five of ABC's Dancing with the Stars have officially been filled – with a Spice Girl, an Abercrombie & Fitch model, a boxer, a billionaire and a Las Vegas icon all part of the 12-person mix. The names were revealed on Wednesday's Good Morning America by DWTS host Tom Bergeron, show judge Carrie Ann Inaba and season-four champ Apolo Ohno.

And, they are:

Melanie "Mel B" Brown, 32, Spice Girls ("Scary Spice") singer (pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy);
Sabrina Bryan, 22, actress/singer (The Cheetah Girls) (pro partner: Mark Ballas);
Helio Castroneves, 32, racecar driver (pro partner: Julianne Hough);
Mark Cuban, 48, businessman (owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks) (pro partner: Kym Johnson);
Jennie Garth, 35, actress (Beverly Hills, 90210) (pro partner: Derek Hough, older brother of Julianne Hough); (Go Team Kelly Taylor!)
Josie Maran, 29, supermodel (pro partner Alec Mazo);
Cameron Mathison, 38, actor (All My Children) (pro partner: Edyta Sliwinska;
Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 30, boxer (pro partner: Karina Smirnoff);
Wayne Newton, 65, singer (pro partner: Cheryl Burke);
Marie Osmond, 47, singer/doll designer (pro partner: Jonathan Roberts);
Albert Reed, 22, supermodel (pro partner: Anna Trebunskaya; and
Jane Seymour, 56, actress (pro partner: Tony Dovolani). (Wonder if she'll ask to be called "Kitty Cat")

--Soul singer Toni Braxton has hit back at tabloid reports she's battling breast cancer. The singer has issued a statement dismissing rumors that surfaced in the National Enquirer last week and spread online. Braxton writes, "There has been a rumor circulating that I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. After feeling something uncomfortable in my left breast, I went in for a screening. I was very fortunate that they did not find anything and I am in great health." Braxton has chosen to take the high road on the hoax health crisis, hoping the shocking story will persuade women who have been holding off cancer checks to get serious about the disease. She adds, "I encourage women to take their annual tests and suggested precautions to prevent this disease that continues to affect so many women."


--David Letterman will make his first appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" next month, another sign the talk-show titans have buried the hatchet after a rift that lasted more than a decade. Letterman will tape the interview, a rare appearance on someone else's show, on Sept. 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York, Winfrey's production company announced Wednesday. Their reconciliation began in 2005 when Winfrey appeared on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman." It was Winfrey's first guest appearance with Letterman, though she twice appeared on his NBC show before the comic jumped networks in 1993.

--Heavily-pregnant actress Salma Hayek has ruled out moving to Paris to become a housewife after she gives birth to her French fiance's child - she wants to continue working at her production company in the U.S. instead. The Frida star is due to give birth to her first child with partner Francois-Henri Pinault any time now. But despite impending motherhood, Hayek plans to keep herself busy professionally by working on new projects with her Ventanarosa Productions business partner Jose Tamez. She says, "I'm going to stay (in the U.S.) and run this company. I could just say I will give it all up and be a housewife in Paris. But I said, 'No.' I was so lucky because I found myself a man who is a great businessman. And he loves it that I work this hard. He has a lot of respect for what I do."


--Julia Stiles is a good girlfriend. The beauty was spotted this week helping her sweetheart, Jonathan Cramer, install his new geometrical sculpture at 111 Central Park North. "A construction worker asked if she was 'that actress,' " said our spy, who overheard Stiles respond, "No, but I get mistaken for her all the time." Stiles isn't Cramer's only celebrity helper - Josh Lucas did "the dirty work" and "spent all afternoon bolting and holding the 2,000-pound metal sculpture in place," said the insider.

--A conservative media watchdog organization charged Wednesday that the network morning news shows have spent considerably more time this year on Democrats running for president than on Republicans. Network news executives rejected any suggestion of bias, and said they have a considerably harder time getting Republican candidates to appear on their shows. Through July 31, the ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows devoted 284 campaign segments to Democratic candidates and 152 to Republicans, according to the Media Research Center. Another 81 stories discussed both parties or a possible independent run by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "The double standard has got to stop," said L. Brent Bozell, the group's founder. "What you hope is that there would be fairness. If you are going to give that much coverage to the Democrats, give it to the Republicans, too." (Ha. File that under "Duh")


--Bobby Brown claims he lived in his car while Whitney was in rehab. In Brown’s declaration, he claims, “Since Whitney has been awarded sole legal and physical custody of Bobbi Kris, she has attempted to eliminate me from Bobbi Kris’ life.” He also states, “I did all I could to see my daughter…I also paid approximately $10,000 for Whitney and Bobby Kris to live in a nice hotel while Whitney was going through rehab…I basically lived in my car.” He concludes, “I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June and I have no prospect of speaking to her or seeing her anytime soon due to Whitney’s actions.”

--Wrestler Hulk Hogan's teenage son Nick Hogan was racing another car moments before he lost control of his own vehicle and crashed into a tree, according to a witness. Frances Vitalis, who was riding a motorcycle with a friend behind the two cars, claims the drivers were revving their engines and racing between each set of traffic lights on the road in Clearwater, Florida on Sunday night. Vitalis says, "We knew something was going to happen. You know that this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging." According to website Tmz.com, police officers have interviewed the driver of a silver Dodge Viper that may have been involved in the accident. Local law enforcement officials have so far only confirmed Hogan's son Nick was driving a Toyota Supra at high speed when he lost control and struck a palm tree. Nick and his friend John Graziano were flown by Medivac helicopters to a hospital in St. Petersburg. Nick, also known as Nick Bollea, has since been discharged after being treated for minor injuries, but Graziano remains in a critical condition. Nick has been caught speeding three times in the 12 months before Sunday's accident.


--"Your man should not upstage you. He is there to highlight you. Guys don't like to be told they look nice, pretty, or cute or that they clean up well." "We want to feel dirty, rugged, and, most important, that you feel safe when you are in our company," he continues. "So when your guy finally tries on something that you like, tell him that he looks like James Bond or Tony Montana. Feel free to be even more vague than that: 'Wow, that suit makes you look like that hot football player!' Trust me, say any of this and you won't be able to get him to take the damn suit off. When it comes to getting dressed, men are a little bit more important than handbags but less important than shoes," he writes. "At any rate, we are merely accessories." --Ashton Kutcher

Random Thought of the Day:
My fave song of the moment is "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" by Rooney. Click here to listen and watch the video. The video is terrible, although it does feature Talia Shire, the mother of one of the band members. Oh, and guess where they got the name for the band? You guessed it. "ROOOONEY!" (Name that movie).

-Nick Hogan needs to be "held to the fire" for his b.s. actions and hurting/endangering others. Perfect example of some kid born to privelage who abuses the gift.

-I don't know exactly what kind of father Bobby Brown is but if "mom" is trying to clean-up her act for herself and her daughter, maybe "dad" shouldn't be in the picture too much until he does the same.

-Yeah, that's just what I want...a "dirty" guy who takes a backseat to me.

One of the best activities for getting the body into shape and losing weight is something that many women are scared to attempt. Weightlifting can be a daunting activity for a beginner especially in the crowded gym environment. Seeing the scores of overly muscled men because they throw about ridiculously heavy amounts of weight can scare many from your weight room and keep them happy and comfortable hovering over their exercise bikes or treadmills. This is not always a good option for someone who is trying to lose weight and get in form however and building true muscle should participate anyone's exercise and fat loss regimen. Muscle helps to burn off fat and muscle also helps shape the body- so choosing a weightlifting program for women can be extremely helpful for them within achieving their goals.

But so how exactly does one go about choosing this type of program if they certainly are a beginner? Well, as may be the case with beginning any new activities the wisest advice is to simply take it slow. You don't have in order to rush in and get the heaviest weight or advanced program you learn about to start making improvement. In fact, this has become the easiest way to impede your progress. Your goal is to get in shape, not hurt yourself. In addition, you don't even need to lift free weights to build a?substantial amount?of muscle.

In any gym environment there are generally a number of machines which you can use in your weightlifting system. One of the trainers on-site or members in the gym can surely help you get acclimated if this is your first time. Your goal as a beginner ought to be to incorporate as many muscles as you possibly can into each movement a person make. For instance, first-time weightlifters are most likely wasting their time through doing sets Ab Machines of bicep curls. Instead, choose a compound motion like dips or pull ups utilizing a machine that recruits many muscle groups simultaneously. Performing these exercises will allow you to work your biceps, triceps, delts (shoulder blades), upper back, trapezius, and the muscles of your whole forearm. In the same period of time it would take you to definitely do a few sets of curls to just hit your biceps or even push downs you've worked a good portion of your entire upper body.

The same is true for the lower body. Many women assume that a weightlifting program must consist of such singular exercises as leg extensions or lower leg curls. Instead, a few sets associated with high rep body weight squats will provide you with much bigger bang for the buck. Body weight squats are simply just performed by standing straight up and squatting down until your thighs are about parallel with the ground making sure to keep your knees behind your toes. This one exercise can work your glutes (butt), leg biceps (hamstrings), quadriceps, calves and truth be told, even your abdominals. Add several sets of push ups to these exercises already mentioned and you have worked your entire body.

As you can see, developing a weightlifting program for women to help them build muscle and burn fat is not as hard as once perceived. Taking it slow and simple can be your key to a healthful and effective weight-loss program.

How I have not come across this url is beyond me bc I have already been saying/thinking the very comments stated on here cardio. I just wished to add a wonderful tidbit proving a lot of jackass living in AZ will make you when you are constantly surrounded from jackasses. As anyone before described the software “hateful and angry”. Not which i can blame him or her. Anyway, while on a visit to WA we were down the middle of the city taking pics of merely one another when several grouped teenage boys came around me asking whether they could take some of our picture. Immediately my thinkings were “this guys gonna attempt steal my darn camera”. Logical thought process right? No, not likely. Only if that you are used to ghetto ARIZONA apparently. We went across Seattle (waaaaay larger than our little AZ town) rather than once and Come on, man ONCE had someone be unfriendly. Multiple people on the agenda to be helpful/start discussion to total strangers/smiling because you walk by. Actually ashamed at how i behaved the first couple of days up there eyeing people along like they were approximately something and generally a bitch. I JUST didn’t realize the best way stand-offish I’ve turned into. You’d think WE was from Harlem Texas not a dinky suburb. Now back in AZ and returning to my permanent scowl. Sigh.
