The cast of Dancing With the Stars just got a whole lot stronger. How strong? Sources tell Life & Style that former Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno is set to star in the upcoming season of the popular ABC series.

Lou, who was training Michael Jackson for his comeback concerts until the singer died on June 25, had previously tried out for the show in 2007.

Lou tells Life & Style that while he hasn’t yet signed the contract, he can’t wait to start training for the show.

“I had a good meeting with the producers for Dancing With the Stars, it was really positive, and they loved the idea of having me on the show,” Lou says.

Though Lou is known for being a great athlete, dancing isn’t exactly his forte.

“I’ve never done that type of dancing before, so I know that I’ll have to train hard,” he says. “I’m a glutton for punishment, so I’ll give it my best shot.”

Controversial couple Jon and Kate Gosselin have come under fire in recent weeks following the exposure of Jon’s wandering ways, and if there is anyone to empathize with a sticky marriage situation, it would be fellow reality star Denise Richards.

“I’ve been through a divorce and it’s not easy. None of know [sic] what goes on behind closed doors, all I know is there will be light,” Richards told Tarts at last week’s Give & Get Fete benefiting Dress For Success Worldwide-West at the Frédéric Fekkai Salon in Beverly Hills. “So if I can get through a place of being great parents, there’s hope for anyone!”

On the note of love affairs, or lack thereof, the starlet was also quick to slam rumors she was dating Bradley Cooper.

“It’s such bullsh-t. I hate it and it’s such an example that some of these magazines literally concoct something from a piece of [expletive] and make up this whole story that we’re down at the restaurant,” Richards scoffed. “It is BS and I barely even met the guy. We were both guests on Jimmy Fallon’s show. That is it, it’s another one of those. Christ, if it’s Bradley Cooper it’s fine, but I’ve had so many awful stories about me but this just pisses me off that they can just make something up and print it.”

America’s Next Top Model is getting a helping hand from some of Hollywood’s hottest fashionistas.

Lauren Conrad and Kim Kardashian will appear separately on new episodes during the show’s 13th cycle.

Conrad will join host Tyra Banks, photographer Nigel Barker and runway coach J. Alexander on the judges’ panel on Sept. 16, while Kardashian’s turn comes Oct. 21.

In fact, each episode of the cycle, which premieres Sept. 9 (8 p.m. EST) on the CW, will feature a member of the fashion community as a guest judge.

Top Model producers let former judge Paulina Porizkova go from the show in May, citing the “current state of the economy.”

Also missing this season: Super tall models. For the first time in the show’s history, all of the contestants in the cycle are 5′7″ and under.

Tom Brady turned 32 on Monday, and it looks like everyone remembered his special day.

The New England Patriots quarterback was appearing on SIRIUS XM’s Mad Dog Radio Show on Monday when his parents, Tom and Galynn, called in and surprised him by singing “Happy Birthday.” It was a special sacrifice for Brady’s west coast-based parents, who had to get up at 3:45 a.m. to perform the serenade.

“I wasn’t expecting this,” Brady laughed.

The fun continued at football practice later that afternoon. According to the Boston Globe, players stole Brady’s helmet during the pre-practice stretches. Then, during the huddle, the team ambushed Brady by pouring a bucket of ice water over his head and rubbing cake in his face.

At least the celebration included more singing than pranks. Brady also enjoyed the front row of a Coldplay concert in Boston, sitting just a few feet away from lead singer Chris Martin.

Who wore it best? Not Angelina Jolie.

The mom of six dropped off Vanity Fair’s best dressed list this year.

Brad Pitt was named for the third year in a row — although in 2007 and 2008, he appeared in the “couples category” with Jolie.

President Barack Obama was named to the list for the first time. The First Lady, Michelle Obama, appears for the third time.

Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Alicia Keys, and Kelly Ripa are ranked for the first time.

The September issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands on Aug. 11.

Demi Kutcher?

Not so fast.

Ashton Kutcher says he can’t confirm a new round of Internet reports that claim his wife Demi Moore is taking his name to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary in September.

“She hasn’t told me, so you might be revealing a secret,” he told Usmagazine.com Monday at the Los Angeles premiere of his new comedy Spread. “I think it would be fantastic, but at the same time, it’s a name, you know? Like, call me Mr. Moore, I don’t care. I’ve been called a lot worse!”

He adds that his wife, who turns 47 later this year, continues to wow him.

Asked how she still manages to look good after all these years, Kutcher told Us, “I don’t know. I’m trying to figure it out because she becomes more beautiful to me by the minute and I don’t know what it is. She’s got
the magic thing.”

In his new flick, he shoots some steamy love scenes. But he said his wife doesn’t give him a hard time.

“You go to a movie and you have to shoot somebody with a gun and you’ve got to murder somebody in the film. When you go home, your wife doesn’t think that you’re a murderer, right?” he explained. “You go to work and you have a scene where you have to portray having sex with somebody; your wife doesn’t think you’re going to work having sex with somebody. We’re both in the same craft. We understand what our job is, and we do it.”

Jessica Simpson hit the town in Hollywood Saturday night, dining at hotspot Katsuya with friends – including sister Ashlee Simpson-Wentz – but one person was not there: Her ex John Mayer.

Contrary to reports circulating online that Mayer met up with Simpson at the restaurant, a source tells People he was never there Saturday. Instead, Mayer showed up at Katsuya on Sunday and had a guys’ night out.

Mayer and his three buddies drank whiskey neat and enjoyed crispy rice, spicy tuna, edamame and yellowtail with jalapeno, according to the source.

“I don’t know where this rumor got started,” added a source close to Simpson. “John was not at Katsuya with Jess.”

Mayer, 31, and Simpson, 29, have been in contact via text message since her split from NFL star Tony Romo, but, “they haven’t met up,” according to a Mayer source. “They’re friendly but that’s it.”

At Simpson’s dinner on Saturday one thing seemed apparent: She wasn’t mourning her split from Romo. “Jessica looked like she was having a good time with her friends,” says an onlooker. “She was all smiles and didn’t look like Tony was on her mind at all.”

Reps for both Simpson and Mayer had no comment.
