'Dancing with the Stars': Crazy Ron Artest

The wild Laker's star, Ron Artest, now known as Meta World Peace, kicked off the season 13 of Dancing With The Stars. This year is even bigger than the previous years with a new triple-decker ballroom and new professionals as well. Ron gave credit to his daughter for telling him to do the show. Ron's daughter apparently got hooked on the show while going through chemotherapy at age 4. Ron had one of the new professionals, Peta Murgatrovd. They did the Cha Cha Cha and scored the lowest number of the night, 14. Len Goodman said, " Your footwork was atrocious". Carrie Ann gave him props for his personality. While Ron awaited his scores he couldn't help but flirt with Brooke Burke. All I have to say is watch it Ron, we've seen your wife and we're guessing she can throw a mean punch.

'LaurieAnn Born to Dance': Lady Gaga Compliment

LaurieAnn is a unique soul who wears her emotions on her sleeves or bare arms, which ever is the case. LaurieAnn takes the dancers to the Lady Gaga concert to perform on stage with Gaga for the final test. Lady Gaga took the opportunity to tell the dancers LaurieAnn helped create Lady Gaga. Gaga gave mad props to LaurieAnn to the point where LaurieAnn started crying and left the room. We all may have thought she was just one tough choreographer but this lady knows entertainment.

'The Biggest Loser': Footballer Cries

The new season of The Biggest Loser has started and things are different this cycle. First, there are two new trainers, Anna Kournikova and Black celebrity trainer Dolvett Quince. Also, there are three teams separated by age. The next big surprise is a new rule where every contestant is invited back to participate in the 26.2-mile marathon and the winner is automatically in the finals. Contestant Antone Davis is an ex-professional NFL football player. Antone was frightened into applying for The Biggest Loser after realizing how many football players around his age and younger have been dying. Bob is his trainer and he pushes Antone to the breaking point. Antone crashes and cries in the gym and later in the field. He is thoroughly embarrassed but he makes a big comeback at the weigh-in.

'Dancing with the Stars': Bye Bye Ron

There will be no World Peace on DWTS. Ron Artest now known as Metta World Peace, could not persuade viewers to keep him on the show. Maybe it was the goofy outfit he wore on Monday night. Maybe Ron was voted off for the silly "dance" moves, like tapping the bum of his partner. Maybe the world isn't ready for his over the top anxious energy. Most likely it was a combination of all the above and the pure fact that he can't dance and didn't display a competitive nature. I think America loves people that try to compete in these contests skill doesn't always matter. So bye, bye Ron Artest, Metta World Peace.

'Americas Next Top Model': Bre Scullark Hair Scandal

"I'm not worried about getting my hair cut, until I start getting my hair cut", were the words from Bre Scullark before she had her break down. It seems that every cycle (season) there is one girl that freaks out about having her hair cut. Every cycle ANTM makes sure they cut and change every girl's hair. A haircut is instant drama and ANTM knows how to find that drama and get sponsorship as well. This episode is no different. There is so much product placement in this show it almost feels like an infomerical, Tyra has to be rich by now. Back to Bre, she gets overwhelmed then cries then runs into the bathroom to escape the cameras. A producer chases after her and we hear the dialogue while look at a sign of the women's room. Bre is ready to go home. Miraculously, she is talked into staying and delivers and decent photo shoot. The odd thing is that Bre's hair looks incredible after the cut.

'The X Factor': Stacy Francis

The first set of goose bumps came when the 42-year old single mom of two, Stacy Francis sang. Stacy cranked out a song that Simon would normally tell all female singers to stay away from, "You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman)" made by Aretha Franklin. Stacy hit notes that made the judges leap to their feet. The emotion and the story were perfect. Stacy could be this year's Susan Boyle. Cheryl said, "The whole room was willing you to win." Simon said, "It's 4,304 yeses".

Michael K. Williams may not be a household name but most people remember his work on The Wire. He also has a recurring role on the Emmy Award winning shoe, Boardwalk Empire, on HBO. Here, Michael plays a new professor at the Community college, who got his degree while doing time in prison. He is a no nonsense dude in an all nonsense comedy.

'The Ultimate Merger': Toccara Chooses Her Man

And then there were two men left. Toccara, Frank and Jason remained on St. Martin's island to finish battling it out for the love of Toccara. There were no surprises here as Toccara spent time with each guy trying to figure who was the best fit since neither has any glaring flaws. The cynic would believe that Toccara would pick Jason because he is closer to her age and has no children. I seriously doubt that Toccara wants to be in a blended family at her age, she is still having fun and Frank is serious. Jason has the body, the youth, and the lack of experience meaning, they could grow together at the same time. Tocarra tried to make the decision seem difficult and Harvey was in the pro-Frank camp. In the end, Toccarra picked Jason. Frank was disappointed and told Toccarra to call if things don't work out.

'Access Hollywood': Beyonce, Giving Style and Silliness

Jill Martin sat down with Beyonce at her launch party for her new fragrance. These interviews are usually boring since the publicity team seeks to restrict questions to the matter at hand. In this interview Jill took some liberties with Beyonce. Jill asked her about being a fashionable pregnant woman. Beyonce's big tip was to wear jackets. Then the conversation turned to Beyonce's mother and her fashion sense. Beyonce said she still looks to her mother for inspiration. Her mother has always been fashionable. Lastly, Jill asked her quick fire off the wall questions and Beyonce responded with wit, humor and poise, watch the clip.
