Calvin Harris Threatens to Sue Over Hand Job Allegations
Dancing with the Stars Recap: Switch Up!
Dancing with the Stars returned for a fifth week on Monday, and the stakes were higher than ever as the remaining celebs battled for survival.
Or not. There was no elimination this week!
It was something of an unusual night as longtime staple Maksim Chmerkovskiy joined the panel as guest judge, and Tom Bergeron returned as host.
Meanwhile, the contestants were paired with a different pro for one night only, and the combined scores (and votes) will be combined with next week.
As for the aspiring dancing sensations, some celebrities took the partner switch by the horns and thrived, while others faltered following the switch.
In the former column?
Alexa PenaVega, the former Spy Kids star whose tango with Derek Hough was so “incredible,” and had so much “authenticity,” according to the judges.
Her husband, Carlos PenaVega, finished just one point behind her perfect score, while fan favorite Bindi Irwin rounded out the top three on Monday.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Tamar Braxton struggled with her new partner, as did Vine star Hayes Grier with the pregnant Allison Holker.
Paula Deen earned the worst score of the night, though she did earn modest praise from the judges, while Alek Skarlatos and Emma Slater hit it off.
Not technically – their score was tied for second-lowest – but personally, as the judges were pretty much overtly trying to set them up on a date.
So there’s that. The complete DWTS scores from last night:
- Alexa PenaVega and Derek Hough (tango): 40/40
- Carlos PenaVega and Lindsay Arnold (quickstep): 39/40
- Bindi Irwin and Valentin Chmerkovskiy (cha-cha): 37/40
- Andy Grammer and Sharna Burgess (Argentine tango): 36/40
- Nick Carter and Witney Carson (paso doble): 35/40
- Hayes Grier and Allison Holker (Viennese waltz): 30/40
- Tamar Braxton and Louis van Amstel (samba): 29/40
- Alek Skarlatos and Emma Slater (rumba): 29/40
- Paula Deen and Mark Ballas (jive): 26/40
Who do you think should get the boot next week (barring an unexpected turnaround in scoring, that is)? Who will win the Mirror Ball?

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Are You Nuts About the New Drama?
The CW has premiered a brand new drama.
It is titled Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and, no, it is not about Taylor Swift. (We kid, T. Swizzle. And we love you!)
Instead, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 1 Episode 1 introduced viewers to Rebecca Bunch, a tightly-wound corporate lawyer whose personality has served her well at a firm in New York, but less well in her personal life.
Basically because she has no personal life.
But Rebecca takes it as some kind of sign when she runs into Josh Chan, her former summer camp crush, and then drops everything (her job, her apartment) to move to West Covina, California… where Josh happens to live!
Thanks to her impressive resume, Rebecca nabs a job at a local law firm, though the head paralegal there is suspicious of Rebecca’s basis for relocation and her boss isn’t much of an authority figure.
Settling into her new Southern California surroundings, Rebecca soon discovers something that her social media stalking somehow did not reveal:
Josh has a girlfriend! WTH is up with that?!?
Did we mention that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is sort of a musical? The main character is occasionally delusional, but always enthusiastic, a trait that rubs off on her new friends and neighbors.
It’s safe to say that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a departure from The CW’s gamut of superhero and supernatural-based offerings… but is it a welcome departure?
Sound off on the premiere below and grade Crazy Ex-Girlfriend now:
Chrissy Teigen: Pregnant with First Child!
Turns out, Chrissy Teigen has been doing more than just baking while naked.
She’s been having unprotected sex with her husband… because Teigen and John Legend are expecting their first child!
Along with the sweet photo above, Teigen wrote the following on Instagram Monday evening as an announcement:
“John and I are so happy to announce that we are pregnant As many of you know, we’ve been trying to have a baby for a while now.
“It hasn’t been easy, but we kept trying because we can’t wait to bring our first child into the world and grow our family.
We’re so excited that it’s finally happening. Thank you for all your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching!”
It’s true: Teigen opened up about her fertility issues back in September during a segment on The Fab.
“I will say, honestly, John and I are having trouble,” Teigen confessed at the time, admitting that the couple has consulted with doctors.
“We would have kids five, six years ago if it’d happened,” she added. “But my gosh, it’s been a process!”
Teigen and Legend got married in a quiet civil ceremony in New York City in 2013 before jetting off to Italy for a more lavish ceremony.
The outspoken model, who is three months along, has said in the past that her nipples will soon return to Instagram… and they very well may.
But it now sounds like they’ll be needed for something even more important some time in the spring of 2016.
Congrats to Chrissy and John!!!!!
