Did you think that Misty May-Treanor would have the courage and strength to continue on “Dancing with the Stars”.

After a foot injury during dance rehearsal with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on October 3, the Olympic volleyball gold medalist was forced to step out of the dance show.

The announcement came from the beautiful May-Treanor herself live on the Monday night show on October 6, 2008.

Well! She had the courage but not enough strength to return.

At the end of the show, May-Treanor talked to PEOPLE magazine, “I ruptured my Achilles tendon and from that point on I knew I couldn’t continue. I’m out and I’m really bummed.”

She further added, “We don’t know why these things happen. They could happen to anyone. I feel like I was only just beginning here.”

Every dark cloud has a silver lining and the good news is that the injured Misty has decided to start her family with husband Matt Treanor, a professional baseball player, as she will be requiring nine months for the rehabilitation after her surgery.

She said, “Having nine months off? That could happen. I was planning to take a little time off next year anyway, so this solidifies that.”

May God give her strength to return to the volleyball court and even to the ballroom.

You think Michael Phelps hosting the premiere is awesome?  Wait till you here this!

Saturday Night Live is pulling out all stops for their premiere this weekend!  Not only will the Olympics Golden boy Michael Phelps host the show, the show will also feature Barack Obama!!!

Awesome!!!!!

According to an Obama spokesperson, “The details of the sketch are still being worked out.”

This is not Obama’s first appearance on SNL.  During the primaries he appeared opposite Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton in a Halloween skit.  He came to the party dressed as…  Barack Obama.

Set your DVR’s, Tivo’s WHATEVER!  THIS IS GOING TO BE LEGENDARY!

Carly Smithson was the latest American Idol contestant to get the boot but before the elimination even happened, Idol message boards were abuzz that the castoff was going to be Jason Castro. Who would leak such a thing? Allegedly, it was Ryan Seacrest. An email exchange posted on a fan site points at Ryan saying that he blabbed that it was going to be Jason who’s leaving the show. While Ryan once said that he finds out who gets to go home the morning of the show, the truth is that only the two executive producers know who’s voted off.

Any of my readers already know that I get a bid fed up with reporting stars’ drug, violence or alcohol issues, and get really pleased when I can tell you all about weddings, births and engagements. Well, this is me really happy…announcing yet another engagement in the star struck world.

Despite conflicting claims that she had turned down the proposal, Delta Goodrem has accepted the offer of being “his lawful wedded wife” from former Westlife singer, Brian McFadden. Original news had claimed she said she felt too young to settle down, but the couple are eager to quell these rumours; proud to announce their forthcoming nuptials.

Big congratulations to the happy couple, I love it when cheerful news is afloat. We await eagerly more news of the wedding.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that the Spice Girls lipsynched their songs at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Thursday and the BBC One special on Friday. But sources close to the ladies are guaranteeing that they will be singing live when they go out on tour which will kick off on December 2.

An insider explains the reason for the girls making a shortcut at the fashion show saying “Last night with all the production issues and different set ups, it would have been a nightmare. Better safe than sorry. Rarely do we trust TV sound (apart from the big awards shows).”

I guess we just have to wait for the tour.

In the last few weeks, Marie Osmond passed out on live television during Dancing with the Stars and mourned the death of her father. Now she is facing her most difficult crisis yet. The singer confirmed Wednesday that her 16-year-old son, Michael, entered rehab last week for undisclosed treatment. Until you folks live her life and know the intimate details of her homelife, it’s really unfair to make such judgmental statements. Whether you like her dancing or not is irrelevant. Whether you like MARIE or not is irrelevant. For heaven’s sake, have a little compassion for a mother and a young man who is troubled! The reasons aren’t for any of us to say and are no one else’s business but Marie, Brian, and their son. Those who judge may find themselves in similar–or worse–circumstances at some point down the line.
