Carrie Ann Inaba to Undergo Surgery…

Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba says she is
scheduled to have surgery Wednesday morning in Los Angeles
to relieve pressure and stiffness in her neck caused by
spinal stenosis.

“I have arthritis. The space around my spinal cord has
become compressed,” Inaba explains. “I have been locked.
My neck was so stiff. We’re hoping this procedure will
relieve that.”

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows,
putting pressure on one or more areas of the spinal cord.
The condition can be caused by arthritis or an injury.

“I’ll be fine and if this surgery goes well, I may have
another one in the future,” Inaba says, noting that she
still plans to attend the Dizzy Feet Foundation’s
Celebration of Dance fundraiser on Sunday, November 29
in Los Angeles. Inaba is one of Dizzy Feet’s founding
members.

Donny Osmond and his dancing partner, Kym Johnson, are now
the proud winners of the Season Nine mirror ball trophy.

New Moon Director Fires Back at Critics…

New Moon director Chris Weitz says he wasn’t taken aback by
critics’ harsh words for the Twilight sequel (Ty Burr of The
Boston Globe called the vampire flick a “mope-fest.”)

“Nothing surprises me in terms of reviews,” Chris tells
Entertainment Weekly. “Having been a reviewer myself, there
are only two ways to spin this story. You can either be the
one guy who says this is a great movie, or more likely, take
a more jaundiced view of the whole thing. And given the media
blitz that has accompanied ‘New Moon,’ it’s rather
unsurprising. I do wish there was more appreciation for
cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe. I think he’s a genius,
and I think he made something beautiful.”

Chris says he is just relieved fans embraced the sequel,
which earned $285 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

“If one could imagine their biggest fears, it would be
complete rejection of the movie by the fans,” says Weitz.
“What I’ve realized over the last week is I won’t
necessarily get good reviews for this movie. Having
swallowed that, this was made for the fans, and if you
don’t get it, then you don’t get it.”

American Idol Alum Hits Broadway…

Much like the American Idol alum, Season 7’s second runner-
up Syesha Mercado has joined the cast of Dreamgirls. But
unlike Hudson’s Oscar-winning turn in the 2006 movie
adaptation, Syesha is singing and dancing on Broadway!

The show’s co-choreographer, Shane Sparks spoke about
Syesha’s theater debut, adding that her turn on American
Idol helped prepare her for the stage.

“Any show where you’re constantly doing what you love to
do, working with different singers, different producers,
in a different environment, it always helps you grow,”
Sparks, who is also a choreographer for So You Think
You Can Dance and a judge on MTV’s America’s Best Dance
Crew said. “That’s why she’s so well rounded for this show
now… That girl is so groomed as an actress.”

Syesha picked up his choreography perfectly, he commented.

“She never had a problem with any of the moves,” said
Sparks, who admitted that he’s the one who had a challenge
converting his well-honed hip-hop skills to Broadway.

“I’ve done staging for So You Think You Can Dance, but
staging for a Broadway show is totally different,” he says.
“Because you’ve got to worry about upstage, downstage,
stage right, stage left!”

LOOSE LIPS: “Children have always responded to me because… I’m
overexaggerated, and my voice is small, and my name is Dolly,
and I’m kind of like a Mother Goose character.” – Dolly Parton,

It’s Katie Holmes…

A source said:

“Katie talked through all of New Moon. It was unbelievable. They
talked nonstop about the movie and everything else. Some people
wanted to tell them to be quiet, but when they realized who it
was, they stayed silent. No one wanted to shush Katie.”

Aaron Carter Owes More Than $1 Million in Taxes…

The U.S. government is not happy with Aaron Carter.

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant owes a whopping
$1,010,635.08 in back taxes going back to 2003, L.A. County
records show.

“We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it
remains unpaid,” the papers state.

A rep for Aaron, wasn’t immediately available for comment.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Rushed To The Hospital…

As we first mentioned last month, Andrew Lloyd Webber has been
diagnosed with prostate cancer and, luckily for him, they
caught it early enough and he underwent surgery to remove his
prostate 3 weeks ago.

But on Tuesday night the musical genius was rushed to the
hospital after developing a postoperative infection.

A statement was posted on the composer’s website saying:

“Andrew has been re-admitted to hospital following his operation
for prostate cancer. He has been advised that while the operation
was entirely successful, he has developed a post-operative
“chronic infection” which needs immediate treatment.”

A friend close to Andrew says the medical problem “is not too
serious” and all Webber wants to do is get back home.

Let’s hope for a speedy recovery!

Miley Cyrus: Twilight Bites…

As the alter ego of the fictional Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus
is no stranger to pop trends and scarcely believable
transformations. But when it comes to vampires, werewolves
and Twilight, she’s giving them a big thumbs down.

“I’ve never seen it and nor will I ever,” Miley tells says.

“I don’t believe in it,” she continues. “I don’t like vampires.
I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m
watching my TV at night. I don’t like it. I don’t want anything
to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it.”

And, yes, she knows that she’s a nation of one when it comes to
her age group, at least in this regard. “I feel really lame
because everyone’s, like, so excited, and I’m like, ‘Don’t even
talk about it.’ “

Of course, Miley has surprised people by bucking trends before,
like when the onetime Twitter addict swore off the networking
tool forever, or when she said she doesn’t listen to pop music.

Cruz Dodges Engagement Questions…

Ever since Penélope Cruz wore a sapphire-and-diamond sparkler
on her ring finger at the October premiere of Broken Embraces,
buzz has mounted that the actress is engaged to actor Javier
Bardem.

It’s a question she just won’t answer, no matter how hard
she’s pushed. During her Late Show appearance, airing Tuesday
night, David Letterman asked Penelope, point-blank if she’s
engaged to Javier. “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my
private life in public,” she said, laughing.

David pressed and Penelope continued, “I’ve been here a few
times with you, you know I’m tough. One thing I don’t do, I
don’t lie about my personal life,” she said. “It’s sacred to
me. It’s my life. But I don’t give details about it because
I am allergic to that.”

Jennifer Hudson to Play Controversial South African Figure…

She can do a diva with a dream deferred, now can she portray
the mother of a nation?

Jennifer Hudson is set to play Winnie Mandela in Winnie, a movie
about former South African president Nelson Mandela’s powerful
apartheid-busting but disgraced ex-wife that will begin filming
May 30.

“I was compelled and moved when I read the script,” Jennifer
tellsVariety. “Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary
woman, and I’m honored to be the actress asked to portray her.
This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”

Though Winnie Mandela took the lead against apartheid while her
husband languished in prison, she was a controversial figure
who was arrested and convicted in 1991 in connection with the
murder of a 14-year-old government informant. In 2003, she was
found guilty of fraud and theft of money from a funeral fund.

The biopic will be the latest in what may be shaping up to be
a Mandela trend: Morgan Freeman will play South Africa’s first
black president in Clint Eastwood’s Invictus, opening Dec. 11
and also starring Matt Damon.

Harry Potter is trading in his wand for fangs.

franchise, will lend his voice to an episode of The Simpsons
for a Twilight spoof.

Executive producer Al Jean said that Danielwill play Edmund, a
young vampire that captures Lisa’s heart. But Homer and Edmund’s
father, Dracula, try to break up the romance.

Potter movie until we realized that they were all in the books.”

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-

This Hollywood actor is glad he’s been linked to a string of
Hollywood beauties, because the false rumors have kept his
real-life romances out of the public eye…

It’s Gerard Butler…

Gerard has been rumored to be dating several leading ladies over
the last few months, including Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz,
Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan.

But Gerard took his mom as his date to the premiere of his
latest movie, “Law Abiding Citizen,” in Glasgow, Scotland, on
Sunday, to silence any further gossip.

And he admits he finds the constant rumors hilarious, because
he’s been involved with unnamed women away from the spotlight.

He says, “Even if it’s (the) early stage of you dating somebody,
or even if it’s a friend that’s a girl and you go, ‘Hell,
(I’ll) take her down the red carpet’, it’s not worth it. It’s
getting ridiculous, I just haven’t got the time. In actual fact,
the crazy thing is I’ve had a couple of relationships during
this time that nobody knew about, meanwhile they’re (the press
are) speculating about people that I’ve got nothing going on
with, so it’s been quite funny.”
