New Dancing with The Stars cast member David Hasselhoff can count on Jerry Springer’s vote.

A third season DWTS alum and fan favorite, Springer believes The Hoff has what it takes to snag the coveted mirror ball trophy. “I think David will do very well. [He] knows how to dance, which is something that never crossed my talent pool,” the TV host told PEOPLE last week while promoting America’s Got Talent‘s 25-city tour, “He’s such an out-sized personality that I think much of the show will gravitate towards him.”

All eyes will be on Hasselhoff, 58, as he sashays into the ballroom in the famously flamboyant DWTS costumes with partner Kym Johnson. Springer, 66, who was also paired with Johnson believes the combination will have audiences glued to their televisions. “When he walks in a room, everyone’s paying attention to David — and Kym is a great partner, “ Springer said.

After a messy divorce and recent stints in rehab, the show could be a bright new chapter for the Baywatch star. As Springer points out, “He barrels through. Life isn’t a smooth line and he’s handled his bumps very well and inside there’s a real good person there and it shows, ultimately, when things get tough. He’s there.” – Michelle Ward and Cynthia Wang

Paris Hilton in Maui

Paris Hilton has left her troubles with the law behind as she lives it up in Maui.

On Sunday, the heiress, 29, indulged in a home-cooked Italian feast for two, one of whom was presumably her current squeeze Cy Waits, a Las Vegas nightclub executive.

"Cooked a delicious lasagna dinner for my love and watched a movie," Hilton Tweeted. "Now going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone."

There was more eating on Monday, but this time it was on the beach and was capped off with a movie. "Had a beautiful romantic dinner on the beach," she later Tweeted. "Now in bed about to watch Precious. I love this movie, so moving and emotional."

Next up? Scuba diving.

"I felt like Ariel the little mermaid under the sea today," Hilton wrote after her scuba experience. "So much fun!"

After visits to island art galleries, Hilton finally wound down and crashed out in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, explaining that she, "just finished watching Eastern Promises. What a dope movie! Viggo Mortensen is bad ass! Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xo Paris :)"

At some point after her vacation in paradise Hilton will have to face the music. She was charged with felony cocaine possession following her weekend arrest in Las Vegas. The drug charge carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison if convicted.

While her dreams may be finally coming true, the expectant mum insists she has no plans of combining her successful career — including a Grammy nomination — with her personal life.

“I don’t think it’s that much a part of me, to be honest,” she says of her decision to not tell her future children of her pop star days.

“It’s something I’ve done, that I enjoyed doing, and I may go back to doing it in years to come, but I’ve got to believe that there is more.”

What will take center stage, then? Raising her kids in as normal and family-oriented environment as possible, Allen explains.

“It’s not that I didn’t enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate,” she muses. “Because everyone I knew when I was growing up came from divorced parents. I do remember when I had my first proper boyfriend at 16, going to his parents’ house in Ireland and we all sat round had dinner together and I was really overwhelmed by the whole thing.”

Harold Dieterle and Meredith Lynn Davies

Kristen Alexander

Congratulations – or should we say bon appétit? – to 2006 Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle, who tied the knot with fellow foodie and longtime girlfriend Meredith Lynn Davies Saturday.

In traditional Southern style, the pair married in Davies's hometown, Atlanta, at a downtown church. They then celebrated their nuptials at a reception held at the Capital City Country Club, where Davies donned a Pnina Tornai gown, and Dieterle wore a Paul Stuart white dinner jacket.

And the wedding ceremony was a Top Chef affair: Fellow season one competitors Lee Anne Wong and Stephen Asprinio were among the 175 guests to attend. Not in attendance? Judge Tom Colicchio, who dished out a few words of wisdom to Dieterle even though he couldn't make the ceremony due to his shooting schedule.

"He just wished me good luck and had some advice," Dieterle tells PEOPLE.

The couple, who met at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, Colo., which was part of the prize package for Dieterle's Top Chef victory, treated guests to a fox trot to Ray Lamontagne's "You Are the Best Thing" for their first dance.

The biggest surprise: The Top Chef stayed out of the kitchen – he didn't even know what was on the menu, which was catered by the country club, prior to the reception.

The newlyweds are jetting off to Rome Sunday morning for an Italian honeymoon, which will also include stops in Positano and Sicily.

Ben Affleck shares some steamy scenes with Blake Lively and Rebecca Hall in his new film The Town – and don't forget about costar Jon Hamm.

"My sex scenes with Ben, which were cut, I think, wisely … were raunchy," Hamm joked Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival, as the entire room roared with laughter.

Even if they didn't ever share a bed, Hamm did work closely with Affleck, who directed and stars in the thriller. And how would the Mad Men star describe their collaboration?

"It was an awful experience," he deadpanned. "[Ben's] a horrible human being. Talent-free, I guess we could probably say. It was pure misery … two-and-half months of absolute, abject terror."

Or maybe not.

"No, it was truly a wonderful experience," Hamm said. "To actually have to bring that intensity and the wonderful performance that he brought in front of the camera, it's an amazing achievement – and I'm very proud to be associated with it."

Don’t worry, Real Housewives of New Jersey fans: Danielle Staub may have bid that show farewell, but she’s not planning to disappear from reality television altogether.

“I’ve been approached by some very large networks and production companies that are very happy to try to steal me away from Bravo,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m keeping my options open now.”

As for a show format? It will be all Staub — all the time.

“It will be my own show but it will be a lot more of me,” she says, laughing. Also joining her prospective show: her daughters Christine, a model, and Jillian, who has recorded a song. “It will be everyone who is around me every day who loves me and cares about me and it will cover the relationships we have,” she says.

But don’t expect a completely lovey-dovey atmosphere if the show makes it to air. “We do fight. And we get into it. There’s a lot of drama in my life,” says Staub, 48. “But there’s also a lot of resolve. Wouldn’t it be great to have that?”

“I think people who want to see more of me might be careful what they wish for,” she says. “There’s a lot more of me to come! I’m the Susan Lucci of reality TV.” – Charlotte Triggs and Rennie Dyball

Jenna Morasca and Ethan Zohn at Stand Up to Cancer

Matt Baron/Beimages

Now that Ethan Zohn's rare form of Hodgkin's lymphoma is in remission, the former Survivor contestant is savoring every healthy moment, and even took a triumphant run past the hospital where he spent months fighting for his life.

"I just – for the first time ever – jogged past the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City," Zohn told PEOPLE at the Stand Up to Cancer telecast in L.A. Friday, "and that was a big moment for me."

A robust-looking Zohn, once again sporting the trademark dark curls he lost after chemotherapy treatments, said the experience was exhilarating. "When I left that hospital on Jan. 12, 2010, I couldn't even walk," he said. "I had to be taken out in a wheelchair. So to be able to run by there, healthy, that was the best feeling in the world!"

Zohn, 36, has been in remission since April, but still goes for regular checkups. "Until you get to five years, it's not considered cured," he explained. "But now I'm just happy to wake up in the morning [and] go for a jog."

The reality star appreciates "Stand Up to Cancer" for funding treatments and research like the experimental stem cell transplant that saved his life when chemotherapy failed. But he also has the support of girlfriend (and fellow Survivor alum) Jenna Morasca.

"I never, ever doubted he was going to beat it," she told PEOPLE. "But there were times when I felt like I just wanted to throw my hands up and say 'I can't do this anymore. It's too much.' "

"Those were the times when I'd call my girlfriends and say ‘Can I just come over to your house and cry? Please don't talk to me. Just let me cry,' " Morasca recalled. "If I didn't have good friends, I wouldn't be able to make it through that."

One positive out of the experience: Morasa is newly smitten with her beau's much-shorter hair.

"I'm excited about the faux-hawk, because I wasn't too into the curls," she said, teasing. "It was too preppy-good-guy. This is like a badass look for me, so it's kind of like having a new boyfriend. So it's like a win-win for me."

The couple hopes to return to television together – and possibly even try Survivor again.

"I don’t know – maybe in another year or so, when I'm healthier," Zohn said. "Just so I can beat Jenna."

Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian

Felix Gonzalez IPHOTO

All LeAnn Rimes wanted for her birthday was a little solitude.

Well, she got that last week in Mexico. This week, though, she got some expensive jewelry from her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian. No, not that kind of jewelry.

"Eddie gave me some rose gold bangles which were beautiful," she said Saturday while celebrating her birthday at Tabu in Las Vegas. "It was very sweet."

Rimes, who turned 28 last week, said she only wanted "peace and quiet" for her birthday, and she satisfied that wish with a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Cibrian, her live-in boyfriend. The relaxation is needed now that two children are a consistent presence in her home. Cibrian shares custody of his  two children – Mason, 7, and Jake, 3 – with his ex, model Brandi Glanville.

"It's quite chaotic," the country singer said of the household. "I went from being by myself to having two kids in the house. It's really amazing. They're really incredible."

Rimes is embracing her new life, as well as her increasing age.

"I'm actually one of those strange people that actually enjoys getting older," she said. "My age was made such a big deal out of when I was little, so I always wanted to get older. I'm still kind of in that frame of mind. Maybe when I hit 30 that will change."

Nash, 40, a former Dancing With the Stars contestant, and her electrical engineer beau announced their plans to get married at a weekend party where guests included her Dancing partner Louis van Amstel. Tucker then surprised her by presenting her with a diamond engagement ring, according to Entertainment Tonight.

"I cannot believe that God has been this kind that he would gift me this man," Nash tells ET. She adds: "Falling in love was the easy part, planning a wedding – yikes!"

The wedding will be in May 2011. Nash was divorced from her first husband, Don Nash, in 2007. They have three children.

Say goodbye to K-Fat.

At least, that's what Kevin Federline is hoping as he whips himself back into shape after gaining enough weight to prompt some to label him with the unkind nickname.

"Kevin has lost 25 lbs., and is working on getting back into top shape," Federline's rep Marilyn Lopez tells PEOPLE.

Along with a new physique has come a renewed passion for getting back to work, Lopez says of the former back-up dancer. "He can't wait to start acting and dancing again and going on auditions next year."?

? Britney Spears's ex-husband – and father of her children – is also going strong in the romance department, according to a Federline friend.

"Kevin and Victoria are really doing great," says the friend, referring to his relationship with former college volleyball star Victoria Prince. "Although he and Britney don't talk much, they are co-parenting as best they can [and] working together to make the best decisions for their boys."

Earlier this week, Federline, 32, defended his ex-wife against allegations of sexual harassment by a security guard. His lawyer told PEOPLE Federline "is satisfied that the allegations are a product of economic motives."

Kate Hudson may rock some high-octane looks on the red carpet, but she prefers a more relaxed vibe when it comes to her everyday attire. “My personal style has never changed,” she tells Elle UK in its October issue, adding: “I love comfortable clothes and a lot of accessories.” In fact, the fewer clothes the better, says the actress and mom, who took time out from her Tuscan vacation with six-year-old son Ryder and British rock star boyfriend Matt Bellamy, to pose for the magazine’s cover. “I don’t like clothes that constrict me. It’s like, would you like to put some clothes on? No, I wouldn’t!” But one thing she’ll happily pile on? Her coveted accessories, especially her mom’s jewelry gifts. “For my birthday this year, she made me a gold necklace with a comedy/tragedy mask pendant. It has a little diamond as the tear,” she says. Claiming not to splurge on sartorial investments, Hudson says she does like to buy nice furniture like “chairs and lamps” and has one particular cabinet which is very close to her heart, as it’s full of her favorite scarves…Hermès scarves. “I have nearly 200 and I buy them all over some new, some from eBay, some from weird little places. I have a cabinet that I lay them out in. I love them they’re so beautifully made.” –Monique Jessen

Making good on her pre-Dancing with the Stars season promise, Bristol Palin is literally encased in black lace for her newly-released publicity shot. Definitely more modest than what fans are used to seeing the stars spin around the floor in — but still with a bit of skin exposed!

Palin, 19, calls herself “naturally shy” and wants to make sure she sets a good example for her son, Tripp, 20 months.

Would you like to see her stick to her non-revealing plan or spice it up a bit more?

"She's dating her work," sister Kourtney Kardashian said. "Kim is a workaholic."

Clearly joking about her ubiquitous sister's love life, Kourtney said she simply wants Kim to be happy. And Kim seemed happy in Dallas last week, visiting Austin and cheering his team, the Dallas Cowboys, during last week's game.

"[Kim] is having fun," Kourtney said at Las Vegas's Hard Rock Hotel at an event for Beach Bunny Swimwear. "I don't think she's found that perfect person for her yet."

"Everything happens for a reason, like Khloe [Kardashian] and Lamar [Odom]," Kourtney added. " One second you meet someone, and you're married a month later. You never know. There is no time limit. Not everyone meets their perfect person at the same age."

Will there be another showdown? ?

?Both Taylor Swift and Kanye West are set to perform on Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, a source tells PEOPLE. But the stars are not expected to share the stage during the ceremony at L.A.'s Nokia Theater.

While West's performance was announced last month, Swift's appearance was set to be a surprise. Other previously announced performers include Drake and Usher.

The two made headlines when West infamously interrupted Swift's acceptance speech as she attempted to collect her best female video trophy at 2009's ceremony. (West thought the award should have gone to Beyoncé.)

Weeks before the ceremony, this year's host, Chelsea Handler, said she'd love to reunite the pair on the show. "We've never really seen them together since then," she said.

West has subsequently apologized to Swift, and even Tweeted that he had written her a song, "that's so beautiful and I want her to have it." ?

?A rep for Swift could not be reached for comment, and MTV declined to comment.

Suri Cruise‘s fan following just got a little bigger: the cast and crew of The Romantics have been won over by her charm!

The 4-year-old — who was a regular on the set while Katie Holmes was filming — had no problem making friends, Mom’s costars reveal.

“We all shared her,” jokes Malin Akerman at the movie’s New York City premiere on Tuesday. “We drew, we played hide and seek, we played dogs and cats, ate cupcakes together.”

Actors Elijah Wood and Adam Brody were equally captured by Suri’s outgoing personality. “Adorable, super sweet,” Wood raves, with Brody adding, “She’s a charmer!”

And while some spent time playing with Suri — including producer Ron Stein who “brought her Silly Bandz … cars, dinosaurs, and princesses” — others like Rebecca Lawrence took the opportunity to sneak a peak at her sense of style.

“She’s very creative,” Lawrence says. “She had great little outfits, like she had this beautiful red coat that fit her perfectly, and it was so stylish. And I wanted one in my size.”

However, despite all of the attention Suri receives, actor Josh Duhamel insists she is no different from any other little girl. “She’s very sweet. She just wants to play, what is she? Four, five?” he explains. “They make her out to be this girl who’s much older than she is. But she’s a four or five year-old girl, she’s just fun.”

Even though the Desperate Housewives star's husband Tom Mahoney battled cancer over the last year, she says the couple never considered telling their daughters.

"There's no point in telling our kids," Cross, 48, tells PEOPLE on Friday at the "Stand Up to Cancer" telecast in Los Angeles. "They were so young and anything to them is normal, so they didn't know things weren't normal."

"They're enjoying their life," she says. "Daddy's fine. It's in the past. He has nothing to say."

While her husband's health has improved considerably, Cross says she is at a good place in her life. "My kids are great, work is great, my husband's really, really fantastic," she says. "I'm very blessed. All of my dreams have come true."

Their relationship problems are chronicled on TV prompting recent tabloid headlines scream that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have finally split. But nothing could be further from the truth.

"It's ridiculous," Kardashian said Saturday in Las Vegas at a party for her swimwear line, Beach Bunny Swimwear. "All the [rumors] you just have to laugh at."

For the record, she says things are going well for the couple.

"We've been working on our relationship and we're doing the best that we can," Kardashian, 31, said at the Hard Rock Hotel event. "We're in a really good place right now and taking it day by day and it's good."

While it's been well-documented in the media and on E!'s Keeping Up with The Kardashians that the couple has been through multiple rough patches, Kardashian says she and Disick, who have a 8-month-old month old Mason together, have been helped through counseling.

"I think [counseling] is really important and we always love going and feel so much better after," she said. "I think everyone should go. People are like, 'It's so expensive and this or that,' but that's more important than buying clothes or a handbag or shoes. It's your life."

Maci Bookout

Joe Kohen/WireImage

When she first appeared on 16 and Pregnant, Maci Bookout was sure her future with Ryan Edwards was solid. So sure, in fact, that they were engaged for a short while – only to have the relationship fall to pieces on Teen Mom when Ryan seemed unenthused about parenting their son, Bentley.

"When I knew it was done and when I knew I'd tried my hardest and when I knew there was nothing more I could do, then I could leave," Maci, 19, tells PEOPLE as part of its Teen Mom cover story. "It finally got to that point."

But now, Maci says the two are "doing a very good job" co-parenting their 22-month-old son, despite the fact that both are in new relationships.

"We've had our ups and downs where he wants this and I want this, and just stuff like that, but the only thing we talk about and the only problems we have are about Bentley," she says.

Still, their relationship is far from perfect. In this season of the hit MTV reality series, viewers watched Maci bring Ryan to court to demand child support. "Ryan really does try to be as difficult as possible," she says. "I just think that he wanted it in writing to know that he was paying. So he wasn't going to pay me without it being noted so that there's proof." And while she claims that Ryan's mom is the person who does the most for Bentley when he's spending time at his dad's, she does acknowledge that her ex has been doing "a better job."

"Now [Bentley] is excited to see him or he's sad to leave him," she says. "If he sees a truck that looks like Ryan's, he'll say, 'Da-da.' There's an emotional connection there that wasn't there before."

Another influential man in her son's life? Maci's boyfriend of eight months, Kyle King, who has yet to meet Ryan.

"For a while, Kyle acted more like a father than Ryan did," she says. "He'll want to put him to bed, or put his pajamas on him, stuff like that. Stuff that I was used to doing by myself. I was just like, 'Are you supposed to do that? Is this how it works?' So it's strange, but it's really, really good."

Captain Phil Harris would be proud.

The late skipper's two sons, Josh, 27, and Jake, 24, have signed a new contract with the Discovery Channel for the next season of Deadliest Catch, according to a New York Times report.

The move is a poignant one in light of their father's death at age 53 last February.

The brothers, who have struggled with their loss, will get more screen time next season and, according to the network, "expand their participation," on the show, which documents the tough lives of crab fishermen. They plan to "increase their experience on the sea with the hopes of becoming captains."

"Right now, they want to get back to fishing and we are doing everything that we can to support that," Discovery president Clark Bunting said in a statement.

The sons have also been looking to buy their dad's fishing vessel, the Cornelia Marie, outright.

"I will try to get it back up and running at full strength, and be the full owner, and my guys can keep their jobs," Josh told PEOPLE recently. "I will achieve my goals. One way or another, it will happen. There is no failure in a fisherman."

As New York Fashion Week approaches, it’s British style maven Victoria Beckham that seems to be at the forefront of many fashionistas’ minds. From her recent British Fashion Council nomination for designer brand of the year to landing the front page of The New York Times‘ coveted Sunday Styles section, Posh seems to have earned herself the unlikely respect of the fashion crowd—no easy feat in the overcrowded celebrity-designer space. Her secret? “I don’t do anything by halves,” she tells the Times. “If you’re going to do something, do it properly, I think. Otherwise there is no point in doing something at all.” That philosophy extends to her hands-on approach to the design of her wildly popular dresses—favored by A-listers like Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez. “I might get a piece of fabric and tie it around me, then ask an assistant to pin it for me,” she says. “I’m not claiming to be a master draper. The bottom line is: Would I wear this?” And that attention to detail, fit and construction is what has earned her respect among retailers and fashion editors alike, even if Posh herself admits that she has “a long, long way to go” as a designer. Still, there is one star client Beckham would love to add to her growing list: First lady Michelle Obama. “I really would love to dress her.” –Gillian Koenig

"She's dating her work," sister Kourtney Kardashian said. "Kim is a workaholic."

Clearly joking about her ubiquitous sister's love life, Kourtney said she simply wants Kim to be happy. And Kim seemed happy in Dallas last week, visiting Austin and cheering his team, the Dallas Cowboys, during last week's game.

"[Kim] is having fun," Kourtney said at Las Vegas's Hard Rock Hotel at an event for Beach Bunny Swimwear. "I don't think she's found that perfect person for her yet."

"Everything happens for a reason, like Khloe [Kardashian] and Lamar [Odom]," Kourtney added. " One second you meet someone, and you're married a month later. You never know. There is no time limit. Not everyone meets their perfect person at the same age."

Kate Hudson may rock some high-octane looks on the red carpet, but she prefers a more relaxed vibe when it comes to her everyday attire. “My personal style has never changed,” she tells Elle UK in its October issue, adding: “I love comfortable clothes and a lot of accessories.” In fact, the fewer clothes the better, says the actress and mom, who took time out from her Tuscan vacation with six-year-old son Ryder and British rock star boyfriend Matt Bellamy, to pose for the magazine’s cover. “I don’t like clothes that constrict me. It’s like, would you like to put some clothes on? No, I wouldn’t!” But one thing she’ll happily pile on? Her coveted accessories, especially her mom’s jewelry gifts. “For my birthday this year, she made me a gold necklace with a comedy/tragedy mask pendant. It has a little diamond as the tear,” she says. Claiming not to splurge on sartorial investments, Hudson says she does like to buy nice furniture like “chairs and lamps” and has one particular cabinet which is very close to her heart, as it’s full of her favorite scarves…Hermès scarves. “I have nearly 200 and I buy them all over some new, some from eBay, some from weird little places. I have a cabinet that I lay them out in. I love them they’re so beautifully made.” –Monique Jessen

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Jackson Lee/Splash News Online

It's been 5 years since Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise began their whirlwind romance, and the couple's relationship is hotter than ever.  

"My husband has red roses for me everywhere I go and whenever we travel," Holmes told PEOPLE at the New York press conference of her new film The Romantics on Tuesday.

A true romantic like her husband, Holmes, 31, believes in love and is very affectionate and caring especially with her her 4-year-old daughter Suri. "Being a mother is so dreamy," she says.

And whether it's eating cupcakes to picking out shoes together in the morning, Holmes is reveling every minute with Suri.

  "You have to keep the activities up," says Holmes, "but she's so comfortable and she loves to sing and dance."

No more interruptions: When Kanye West and Taylor Swift meet again at the MTV VMA Awards Sept. 12, he has a special gift for the singer – hopefully, she will let him finish.

"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it," he said on his Twitter Saturday morning. "If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her."

Perhaps a sly nod to her pop anthem, "You're Not Sorry," which was released on her 2008 album Fearless?

Nearly a year since he first apologized to Swift, the hip-hop artist is still offering up I'm sorries, calling her "justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us" on his Twitter.

"She deserves the apology more than anyone," he Tweeted, before thanking the creators of Twitter for making a public platform for expression. "We're both artist[s] and the media and managers are trying to get between us. Everyone wants to capitalize off this [in] some way."

Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian

All LeAnn Rimes wanted for her birthday was a little solitude.

Well, she got that last week in Mexico. This week, though, she got some expensive jewelry from her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian. No, not that kind of jewelry.

"Eddie gave me some rose gold bangles which were beautiful," she said Saturday while celebrating her birthday at Tabu in Las Vegas. "It was very sweet."

Rimes, who turned 28 last week, said she only wanted "peace and quiet" for her birthday, and she satisfied that wish with a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Cibrian, her live-in boyfriend. The relaxation is needed now that two children are a consistent presence in her home. Cibrian shares custody of his  two children – Mason, 7, and Jake, 3 – with his ex, model Brandi Glanville.

"It's quite chaotic," the country singer said of the household. "I went from being by myself to having two kids in the house. It's really amazing. They're really incredible."

Rimes is embracing her new life, as well as her increasing age.

"I'm actually one of those strange people that actually enjoys getting older," she said. "My age was made such a big deal out of when I was little, so I always wanted to get older. I'm still kind of in that frame of mind. Maybe when I hit 30 that will change."

The cast of MTV’s reality hit Jersey Shore has been accused of promoting stereotypes and misrepresenting the state of New Jersey but Caroline Manzo doesn’t understand what the all the fuss is about.

“Everybody has their opinion of the Jersey Shore just like they have an opinion about our show. They’re young kids doing their thing,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star told PEOPLE at the celebration for her guest stint in the Off-Broadway comedy My Big Gay Italian Wedding.

Manzo, who has a self-described “live and let live” attitude, believes Snooki and the gang should not be expected to serve as an example. “We have to understand that they don’t represent the state, they don’t represent the culture. They represent themselves. “If they make a fool of themselves, they’re just making a fool of themselves. Do your thing.” she says.

But don’t expect to catch Manzo’s Housewives costar Teresa Giudice doing the Jersey fist pump anytime soon. On Monday’s reunion special Giudice said she was “not fond of” the fast paced hookups on the show but took a dig at castmate Danielle Staub saying, “I think Danielle could relate to them.”

Matthew "Mdot" Finley

There's a new camper in town.

Meet Matthew 'Mdot' Finley, who costars with Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. But who is this 23-year-old actor joining the battle of the music camps? Here's five things you should know about the Disney Channel star.

1. Call Him "Mdot"
When he noticed his name was listed as M. Finley on music credits, the budding musician took it up a notch. "I decided to spell out the dot," he tells PEOPLE of his moniker.

2. He Loves R&B
When he's not on set, he's in the studio. The Camp Rock newbie is recording an R&B album. "I'm working with Darkchild (Rodney Jerkins) and Pharrell Williams," he says of the disc, which, "drops next year."

3. He's a Ladies' Man
Finley's never had a problem getting girls on the dance floor: As a teen, the Dayton, Ohio, native performed with an all-girls dance group, the Gem City Dance Crew. "I was the only guy in this girl hip-hop dance group," he says. "I loved being with all those girls."

4. He's Above Par
Finley always knew he wanted to go pro – pro-golfer, that is. "I actually planned to play [golf] professionally," he says, "before I went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston."

5. He Has an Avatar-Crush
When it comes to crushes, Finley has a blue babe in mind: Avatar star Zoe Saldana. "I'd love to have a date with her, and she can show up in her Avatar suit."

New Dancing with The Stars cast member David Hasselhoff can count on Jerry Springer’s vote.

A third season DWTS alum and fan favorite, Springer believes The Hoff has what it takes to snag the coveted mirror ball trophy. “I think David will do very well. [He] knows how to dance, which is something that never crossed my talent pool,” the TV host told PEOPLE last week while promoting America’s Got Talent‘s 25-city tour, “He’s such an out-sized personality that I think much of the show will gravitate towards him.”

All eyes will be on Hasselhoff, 58, as he sashays into the ballroom in the famously flamboyant DWTS costumes with partner Kym Johnson. Springer, 66, who was also paired with Johnson believes the combination will have audiences glued to their televisions. “When he walks in a room, everyone’s paying attention to David — and Kym is a great partner, “ Springer said.

After a messy divorce and recent stints in rehab, the show could be a bright new chapter for the Baywatch star. As Springer points out, “He barrels through. Life isn’t a smooth line and he’s handled his bumps very well and inside there’s a real good person there and it shows, ultimately, when things get tough. He’s there.” – Michelle Ward and Cynthia Wang

Vampires, fairies, and werewolves stick together.

Amid the controversy surrounding the most recent Rolling Stone—with a naked and bloody Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, and Alexander Skarsgård—stars of the hit show are defending the cover and Alan Ball's fab creation.

"It's funny and smart," dished True Blood's delectable werewolf Joe Manganiello, but he doesn't stop there:

"If it was simply gratuitous, it would be a different story. But the writing is very clever and Alan

You've read our thoughts on the Centers for Disease Control's effort to ban smoking in films and TV, so we thought we'd check in with Emmy nominee and lung cancer survivor Kathryn Joosten to get her sassy view on the matter.

The outspoken babe, who told us she has "no cancer at this time" (yay!) has bigger fish to fry than the CDC.

"I have to condemn the American Cancer Society," Kath told us over Emmy weekend. Why's that, K?

"Certainly I understand smoking is an issue, but it's not the only reason for lung cancer and other diseases," the Desperate Housewives star told us at the Emmy nominee reception, looking fab and spunky, as usual, in purple.

"To spend so much time and effort on just that distracts from attention that should be paid on finding a good diagnostic procedure or to find some better search and targeted therapies."

Continued Joosten: "And I have to condemn the American Cancer Society. They are such an albatross—they are 20 years behind the times, and their statistics are 20 years behind the times.

"Little-known fact about the American Cancer Society: When you donate money to the ACS and designate it for a specific disease, unless it's for more than $4,500, it goes into the general fund. You know when it says, ‘In lieu of flowers make a donation to the ACS'? It's bull. It doesn't happen."

With the help of ACS or not, Kath is back to her sassy self.

"I'm perfectly healthy," she smiled when we asked how she's doing.

But as for whether she'll be back facing what's sure to be another big battle on the divalicious set of Desperate Housewives this season: "Who the hell knows?"

Has there ever been anyone who has fallen from grace—and subsequently hoisted her ass back up—more times than Paris Hilton?

Mom Kathy Hilton told us awhile ago that, in a nutshell, daughter Pare-Pare is, "dumb like a fox." And oh, how brilliantly true that description is. After all, mama knows best, right?

Y'see, Paris' recent, er, incident with la coca is just another opportunity for her to show off how slyly she deals with all the, er, incidents in her life:

1. She keeps her friends close, but the media closer.
You might laugh at the gal who sends texts and emails to reporters in the third person ("Sources say that Paris had a great time with her new boyfriend" is something she might send out), but one thing is for sure: Paris knows exactly how to keep reporters at no more than at text-message's length. She notoriously takes journalists out to lunch every friggin' week, and they love her for it. Where's our invite, sugar-stuff?

2. She keeps a contact everywhere she goes.
While Lindsay Lohan runs around Hollywood like a bewigged chicken with its head cut off, Paris isn't usually too messed up to at least establish some kind of connection with someone everywhere she goes. This includes clubs, bars, hotels, entire villages. That way there's someone to protect her, or to run to, at every corner where trouble almost always lurks.

3. The "dumb" thing throws people off.
Paris isn't actually the Simple Life girl we fell in love like with all those years ago. That's not to say that she's a rocket scientist, but for anyone who's met her, they know that there's a level of, let's say, show business that the girl puts on. And again, we'll reiterate that she is not a rocket scientist. But she's also not the "I thought it was gum" girl that you think she is. This will be bad news come court time, unfortunately.

4. She knows the art of reacting.
Paris isn't a one-trick pony who will give the same denial or look dumbfounded when every little road bump hits the little Hilton. While she might act stupid with one arrest, or play the crying game with another, or even give a casual wave-off to a less important tabloid scandal, she's always keeping it somewhat believable. And you know that if Lindsay's reaction to scandal is going to party at Colony, Paris will be sitting at home, "devastated"—and telling absolutely everyone with an iota of media connection about it.

5. She's finally discovered what she's good at.
There was a time when Paris tried to solely emulate her famous entrepreneurial lineage, conquering the entertainment/product-placement business with cameos, biz endeavors galore, guest-hosting gigs, and even attempts to do the musician, reality star or supporting actress thang. A simple leggings/suntan-line girl she is not. But it's been about two years since Hilton mostly stopped the efforts, and we've been more tolerant of her for it. However, she's since focused on her socialite status, and that's the only reason she got to be famous in the first place, isn't it?

We smell the rebirth of Paris in a matter of seconds. OK, maybe months...or years. Don't forget, it's in her blood.

How does the saying go? Hell hath no fury like a young pretty boy scorned? Yeah, pretty sure that's it. And, girlfriends, is Parrish Maguire ever pissed!

First, it's important to note, we rarely, if ever, run the same Blind Vice star on concurrent Fridays. But Parrish must be so peeved these days—as we noted in last week's installment—that he's taken to...

Doing the exact opposite of what his worried handlers have been telling him to!

Now, remember how we told you the hunky celeb Maquire's handlers chastised him for too openly getting his (closeted) gay on at parties and select guys-only events? Yep, and Parrish did not like being told to curb his natural man-on-man desires, and, as a result, started getting pretty nasty with his friends—taking his bad mood out on an unlucky few.

But now, Parrish seems to have had a change of heart, and more recently, is directing the frustrations of living a closeted celeb life out on the very people who told him to watch it: his peeps.

Fabulously passive-aggressively, Parrish can be seen riding around town in a ridiculously expensive toy that belongs to one of the primary folks Parrish's management team told him to stay the hell away from.

Love it! It's like a daughter who decides to marry the bad-boy because her 'rents told her not to!

You keep the rebel up, Mr. M! We're likin' you a whole lot better all of a sudden.

And it Ain't: Joe Jonas, Xavier Samuel, Daniel Radcliffe

A truly awful thought popped into our heads today: Are Jennifer Aniston, whom we loved for years on Friends (though haven't always loved in everything since) and Julia Roberts, who was America's go-to classy lady from 1990 to about 2002, both completely dunzo career-wise?

The Switch was a bomb. Eat Pray Love eat pray sucked. And let's be honest, nobody is expecting either flick to suddenly skyrocket at the box office this weekend.

And now with flicks like Easy A, starring Emma Stone, and You Again, starring soon to be rom-com queen Kristen Bell, guaranteed to spark some interest at the box office, we can't help but worry that these former A-listers have been put out to pasture by the younger crowd...

Julia's flick was supposed to be the belle of the box office, the diamond in a rough summer of Vampires Suck and Piranha 3D. But she barely beat out those two, and she was still beat by The Expendables, sweaty old men with a completely different target demographic.

Where were the girls and women who would have supported Julia had Eat Pray Love come out in 1998?

And what about Jennifer? We've given her chance after chance after chance after, well, you get it (you've done it too!). We've tolerated cheesy romantic comedies in the hopes that the next will be (a) better or (b) will at least star another adorable puppy.

But after the rom-com debacle that was The Switch, is it about time to throw up the white flag and surrender our wallets to a different funnygal (it pains us to say, but...uh, maybe Katherine Heigl?).

The problem with both ladies is that they just haven't found a way to speak to the core moneymakers of today: the Twitter-using, Facebook-friending female audience from ages 12-25.

College-age girls had barely been born when Pretty Woman came out, and they only remember Julia as "that woman from Ocean's 11." But hey, at least their parents can tell ‘em Julia is a good actress.

Jennifer, meanwhile, has her Friends fans, but they are becoming fewer and fewer as the years build up between her last Central Perk appearance and whatever rom-com she's starring in as a quirky everywoman, bumbling her way toward the perfect man.

We really hope these two luscious divas don't fade from the classy-image spotlight, pushed out of the way by other young starlets like Anne Hathaway or Drew Barrymore, and the even younger divas like Lea Michele and Carey Mulligan (not to mention K.Bell and Emma Stone).

Find something to reinvent yourselves with, ladies. How about a television series for Julia? A tearful drama for Jen? Or something the Twilight-loving, Harry Potter-obsessed, JoBro-worshipping crowd can relate to!

Hell, if Betty White can do it, you can too!

Ted has no friends. Cheer Ted up on Facebook!
