‘Dancing With the Stars,’ Week 5, ‘Latin Week’: TV Recap

16 April 2012 7:30 PM, PDT | Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal | See recent Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal news »

ABC

The U.S. Northeast experienced record-breaking heat Monday. The “Dancing with the Stars” ballroom hopes the sizzle stretches to Southern California for Latin Week.

The remaining nine couples look to bring hotness to the dance floor with Argentine tangos, salsas and sambas. More clothing comes off, though not Gavin DeGraw’s hat. On paper, this week should bring the Cuban, William Levy, back toward the top of the leaderboard, but he injured his right ankle over the weekend and needed an Mri. »

'Jersey Shore': Will Snooki, The Situation's Personal Issues Help Or Hurt?

30 March 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's pregnancy and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's addiction issues could veer MTV's next season of "Jersey Shore" away from party-land and toward the starkly serious. For the first time since the show premiered in 2009, the cast's personal dramas may actually hurt the program.

Two of the regular eight cast members will likely be sober on the sixth season of the show, which is filming in Seaside Heights, N.J., once again this summer. Snooki, who is often the life of the party, is likely to put partying on hold due to her pregnancy, and The Situation recently entered rehab, reportedly at the Utah's Cirque Lodge, to battle a prescription pill addiction. While a coherent cast might be a boon to any other program, it could prove a detriment to "Jersey Shore."

Ray J Denies Having Anything To Do With Whitney's Death

23 March 2012 8:15 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Whitney Houston's official cause of death was deemed an accidental drowning, but the report also notes the singer suffered from heart disease and had cocaine and prescription drugs present in her system.

It's the cocaine that has the singer's former sister-in-law, Leolah Brown, pointing fingers at Whitney's reported boyfriend at her time of death, Ray J.

According to the L.A. Coroner's report, Houston used cocaine "immediately prior to her collapse," but when investigators arrived on the scene they found no trace of cocaine or any other illegal drugs in the room. Sources tell TMZ the individual who removed the cocaine from the scene was also the person who supplied it to the singer.

Brown claims that Ray J provided Houston with the cocaine before she died. On CNN's "Headline News" with Dr. Drew Thursday night, Brown claimed that she saw Ray J leaving Houston's hotel room in a »
