‘Dancing With the Stars’ host Tom Bergeron has bowed out of interviewing Chris Brown when the singer performs on the show tonight. His reason? He can’t promise not to poke fun at the R&B singer’s problems.
Chris was at the center of controversy again last week when he smashed a window backstage after an appearance on Good Morning America, following a tense interview about his 2009 attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
And Bergeron doesn’t want a repeat of that showdown on his show.
In an interview with Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest, Bergeron says, “Don’t put me in a position where you’re asking me to not say something, ’cause I won’t really do that.”
Brown has stated he no longer wants to discuss his past problems in interviews.
Despite the fact that I (and hopefully you) don’t believe a word they say, ‘The Bachelor’ couple Brad Womack and Emily Maynard swear they’re still in love – and still engaged.
“I’m so happily engaged. I’ve never been happier, I promise you that,” Womack, 38, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.
Even though the couple confess to having a rough time ever since Brad proposed to Emily, they say they’ve gotten through it, and are stronger now. Part of their problems came as Emily watched ‘The Bachelor’ for herself, and saw Brad connecting (literally) with other women.
“There have been numerous times where either she or I have said, ‘To hell with it. It’s just too difficult,’ ” Womack tells PEOPLE.
But love, the two say, is what always pulled them back together. Now that the show is over, the two are ready to focus on what really matters – their relationship.
“The hardest part is behind us,” Maynard says. “I feel pretty confident if we can make it through [the past three months], we can make it through.”
Still not buying it. I don’t think for one second they’re still together, I just think they’re trying to make ABC look good. Maybe it’s written into their contract? I know MANY Bachelor couples stay together for a while – then break up after a period of time…
Rachael Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh are pictured laughing and strutting about the set of Charlie’s Angels as they film the pilot episode of the new series.
The three actresses have been cast to play ‘Charlie’s Angels’ in the ABC drama.
Minka Kelly has starred on NBC’s ‘Friday Night Lights’ and was also named “Sexiest Woman Alive” of 2010 by Esquire. Kelly plays Marisa, a former U.S. Marine who is a ‘weapons expert trained in all forms of hand-to-head combat’ and will be a ‘neat freak’ in her everyday life.
Australian-born Rachael Taylor (the blonde), 26, who is known for her role as signals analyst Maggie in the first Transformers film, will play Abby.
She is the youngest Angel but is a ‘beautiful and privileged daughter of a notorious Wall Street crook who is an expert con artist herself, as well as a Krav Maga expert’.
Annie, 27, plays Kate, an ex-cop who is a martial arts master.
As fans know, Charlie is never seen on screen and is only through a speakerphone giving his orders to his Angels and was voiced by John Forsyth in the TV series and the films.
The show is being executive produced by Drew Barrymore who starred in the 2000 film and its 2003 sequel alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz.
There will be a couple of differences to the original series, including a different crime every episode instead of a continuing story throughout the series.
As I watched ‘The Bachelor’ finale last night, believe it or not, I actually got teary during Brad Womack’s emotional proposal to single mom Emily Maynard. I thought he made the right choice, even though I loved Chantal also.
But then……………………… the ‘After the Rose’ special burst my happy little teary bubble. It was obvious VERY QUICKLY that the honeymoon was already over. They were awkward, aggressive (on Emily’s part) and looked like they couldn’t WAIT to get off the stage. It was uncomfortable to watch, and very clear that they had fallen out of love (if they ever were in the first place).
Brad has temper problems? Wah? Emily won’t move to Texas? Didn’t they figure this out BEFORE he picked her? And WHO WAS this Emily girl? It’s not the same Emily we saw every Monday during the season of ‘The Bachelor’! This Emily was fiesty, and sharp, and aggressive! She made it pretty obvious, in my opinion, that the Brad Womack off the screen is not the Brad Womack we saw during the season. The couple admitted to already splitting once, but they assured everyone that they were back together, and definitely planned on marrying.
Well, according to Pop Eater, that’s not going to happen.
Moments after Brad Womack proposed to Emily Maynard on last night’s ‘Bachelor’ finale, millions of fans were shocked to learn that the couple have already gone through a breakup, and while Brad told viewers he was ready for marriage, sources tell me the couple has since broken up for good.
“Emily is so insecure, she just isn’t cut out for all the fame and attention her relationship is under,” a show insider tells me. “The six weeks of shooting the show in paradise was easy, away from prying eyes and photographers, but since they both returned to their normal lives things have been a disaster.”
“Emily is not able to forgive Brad for what she considers cheating week-after-week with other girls,” an in-the-know producer tells me. “It’s always hard sending the couple back into reality after they have been living in paradise, but no one in the history of the show has had as hard a time adjusting as Emily.”
Like many fans, my source “would love to say they are going to make it, but they don’t. After we taped the ‘After the Rose,’ it was clear to everyone that this one was not going to work.”
I’m not surprised, but I am sad… it actually seemed half real this time!
Ashley made it to the final three with Brad Womack, and now the 26-year-old is getting her own shot at love! (No wonder she was so peppy during the Reunion: Women Tell All episode!)
Monday night, hours after the “The Bachelor’s” final rose ceremony, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” announced exclusively that the next Bachelorette would be Ashley Hebert. Hebert, who made it to the final three of this past season of “The Bachelor,” sat down with the late night host to discuss her feelings about newly engaged Bachelor Brad Womack and the support of those around her, and then was later sworn in by Kimmel over an official magazine.
What do you think about Ashley being picked as the Bachelorette? I’m torn… she definitely wasn’t my favorite, I was hoping to see Shawntel, or even Chantal (final 2). Ashley’s high energy will make for good TV – but I find her slightly annoying… What’s your opinion?

Jake Pavelka’s #1 pick Vienna Girardi has stepped out with a new man! The lucky guy is none other than creepy Kasey Kahl from Ali Fedotowsky’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’.
The couple have been going public lately – with public shows of affection on Twitter.
From Vienna:
Received flowers today! I dnt want to brag…. but I have the most AMAZING boyfriend in the world.
When asked if Vienna would consider doing The Bachelorette, she answered “I already have wonderful man in my life!”
They also stepped out last night at BOA Steakhouse in Hollywood!
Anyone worried about how Kirstie Alley will do? Apparently her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy has nothing but confidence.
“Getting stronger and stronger every day … and feeling more and more alive … this dancing is good for the soul,” the Twitter-prolific actress, 60, wrote.
Apparently, she loves her moves with her Ukrainian partner as well. “UP UP UP!!!! this dance stuff is ADDICTIVE ….. finally a GOOD vice ……. spin me M, spin me!!!!!” she posted on Tuesday.
“HERE’S a tip for any weightloss plan … DANCE 4 or 5 hours a day … sorta starts melting off ….. but who has the time for that? … oh …. I do,” she said.
As for the usually hard-to-please Chmerkovskiy – who made the top four with Brandy last season – the pro seems happy with his partner’s effort.
“[Kirstie] is trying really hard to impress me! I must admit………I’m impressed!” he wrote.
But that doesn’t mean he’ll rule out any future drama with the outspoken actress. “Having an absolute blast at rehearsals,” he Tweeted, “so far.”
