George Lopez Calls Kirstie Alley a Dancing Pig

George Lopez may be a funny man, but he’s not a gentleman. On Monday night, actress Kirstie Alley wowed TV audiences and the judges on “Dancing with the Stars” with her energetic cha-cha to Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You,” making her an early favorite for the finals. Kirstie’s stellar performance was especially surprising given her long and well-publicized struggle with weight problems. Alas, the actress’s terpsichorean talents failed to distract TV host George Lopez from her not-so-svelte figure.

Kendra Wilkinson Plans to Show a Lot of Skin on DWTS

The TV series “Dancing with the Stars” is more famous for the revealing costumes worn by the female dancers than for the quality of the hoofing. Since Kendra Wilkinson is an old hand at taking her clothes off, the former Playboy model and “Girl Next Door” has a plan to get viewers’ attention on the show. Kendra told Extra, “If I’m going to go skimpy, I’m going skimpiest.” Husband Hank Baskett approves. “He’s like, ‘If you’re going to do this, go all in, and don’t be shy about anything.”

Tsunami Survivor Petra Nemkova Feels for Japanese Victims

Petra Nemkova may look like a pampered supermodel that has lived a charmed life, but the beauty’s lived through more than her share of tragedy. Petra was vacationing over Christmas 2004 in Thailand with her photographer fiancé Simon Atlee when the country was hit by a deadly tsunami. The model suffered a broken pelvis and was forced to cling to a tree for eight hours before being rescued, while Atlee drowned. The recent Japanese quake and resulting tsunami hit home for Nemkova, now a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars,” who told “Access Hollywood,” “It’s very hard to look … at those videos. Seeing people trying to escape from their cars and knowing this can be prevented. I think it’s such a crime not to have disaster preparedness in curriculums.”

Petra Nemkova, Kendra Wilkinson Join Cast of “Dancing with the Stars”

Watching “Dancing with the Stars” isn’t high on my list of favorite things to do, but when they have hot babes in those skimpy, shiny outfits, I’ll consider it! I suspect I’ll be rooting for sexy former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Petra Nemkova. Even if she turns out to have two left feet, she’ll look sensational in the costumes! So will Playmate-turned-reality star and mom Kendra Wilkinson. Cutie Chelsea Kane from the Disney Channel will draw in the tweens, but at 22, she’s also pretty nice to look at. Can they dance? We’ll have to wait until the show returns March 21. See more of Petra, Kendra and Chelsea after the jump.
