Jake Pavelka's elimination to be shown on the next 'Bachelor Pad' episode

This should be a good way for David to go back into the public eye in a positive way, after a very public split from his wife Courteney Cox.

The actor has been to rehab, was seen partying with drinks and girls, and gave various interviews where he claimed the split with Courteney was his own fault. Courteney herself said that she still loves David, but being married to him is like taking care of another child.

The couple have remained friends and are co-parenting their small daughter, Coco. They have not filed for divorce yet, and there is no word whether they will get back together as a couple.

The cast for Dancing With the Stars will be officially announced next Monday during the Bachelor Pad between 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. on ABC.

'Jersey Shore's JWoww denies having had any recent plastic surgery

August 25, 2011 - Jersey Shore star Jenni "JWoww" Farley has been looking very different on the newest season of the notorious reality show, but, she insists she did not have any plastic surgery done recently.

The reality starlet has admitted to having work done in the past, but her new look is due to exercising more, she claims.

But, viewers of the show have said that she looks like she's had some major work done to her face.

"People are saying I got cheek implants, my chin shaved down and a nose job," JWoww recently told In Touch magazine.

Jenni definitely looks like she's done something to her face, however, as her lips look much plumper and her cheeks are tight. Her skin looks glazed and hard and it lost the youthful elastic appearance it had before.

"I lost 15 pounds and my cheeks have become more defined." Jenni added, "I highlight my cheeks instead of putting bronzer on them."

She also added that, "I'll probably get Botox by the time I'm 30 and have my breast implants redone in a few years after I've had kids.

New 'Vampire Diaries' episode stills from the season 3 premiere 'The Birthday'

August 23, 2011 - The first group of stills from The Vampire Diaries for the season premiere, The Birthday, were released on Monday by the CW.

The new stills offer a deeper look into the premiere episode of season 3, giving some hints as to what will be happening when TVD returns this fall.

Hilarious 'Vampire Diaries' season 2 gag reel released

As we had already seen in an earlier released still, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) will be having a meeting with werewolf Ray Sutton (guest star David Gallagher) in a bar, where they probably are conspiring for something.

One of the new stills in the same bar, features Klaus sitting by himself with his feet up as he stares off deviously. Then, another bar scene, shows Klaus as he points at Ray's chest in a threatening way.

'Vampire Diaries' season 3 promo shot and Rolling Stone photos & video

The rest of the stills are all from Elena's (Nina Dobrev) birthday party at the Salvatore mansion. The first, features Matt (Zach Roerig) and a sad looking Caroline (Candice Accola), followed by another of Caroline talking to Tyler (Michael Trevino) at the party as well.

There is also another photo of Tyler and Caroline talking, that seems to be from before the party, as Caroline looks to be getting things ready.

Other stills from the party include one of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) as he sits drinking by himself on a wall, most likely thinking about Stefan and his turn to the dark side with Klaus. Another still shows Alaric (Matt Davis) joining Damon on the wall as they talk.

These two images lead to the previously released still, which features Elena talking to Damon and Alaric by the wall.

More 'Vampire Diaries' season 3 spoilers: Caroline jealous and targeted

August 18, 2011 - When more spoilers on The Vampire Diaries season 3 are revealed, we discover that Caroline (Candice Accola) will become jealous of Tyler's (Michael Trevino) new girl, and will be targeted by someone she trusts.

'The Vampire Diaries' season 3 new spoilers: Stefan is a 'freaking nut-bag'

E! News' Kristin Dos Santos has been on a roll with TVD spoilers this week, and now she tells us that on the premiere episode of season 3, Caroline will become very jealous when she sees Tyler dancing with a new girl at Elena's (Nina Dobrev) birthday bash.

As we now know, the first episode will feature Elena's 18th birthday and, as was earlier reported, Tyler shows up to the bash with a new girlfriend. This new character is Sofie, played by Lilly Roberson, and apparently, when Caroline sees her at the party with Tyler she is none too happy - at all!

This could explain her eagerness at jumping on Tyler in her underwear while he lays in bed (shirtless!) on the preview trailer... (which you can view here.)

But, making their relationship a true Romeo and Juliet tale, Caroline will be targeted when someone we all know and trust (mostly) aims to hurt her. Could Tyler's mom be after our favorite blonde vamp to keep her away from her werewolf son?

'Vampire Diaries' star Ian Somerhalder on Damon in season 3: He's the anti-hero

Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries recently gave some new dish on season 3 and revealed that his character, Damon, is going be the anti-hero.

Speaking to Zap2It about what's in store for the new season, Ian spilled some scoop on what will be happening with Damon, now that his brother Stefan (Paul Wesley) has gone to the dark side.

Brand new 'Vampire Diaries' season 3 promo trailer

"I was worried that Damon was becoming this hero, and [exec producer] Kevin [Williamson] said 'No, he's not the hero. He needs to be, but he's the anti-hero, because he's supposed to be not hurting people, but that's not his nature.'" Ian told Zap2It, "So he slips, and his response is 'Screw this.'"

Then, Ian added that this dynamic is what's going to make things interesting this season, "interesting for me as an actor and interesting for Damon as a character. I don't want to lose that quote-unquote 'bad' side of Damon.

Ian also spoke about Damon's anger at Stefan for going on a ripper rampage with Klaus (Joseph Morgan), which is what he wanted to do with his brother ever since he first came to Mystic Falls. He always wanted to go be 'bad vampires' with Stefan, but he denied him this. Now he's doing just that, but with a vampire who almost killed everyone they care about.

Teasing season 3 even more, Ian recently also talked about how his relationship with Elena (Nina Dobrev) is going to evolve. While it has been reported by exec producers Kevin and Julie Plec that there won't be any crazy love connections with Damon and Elena, the two will become closer friends and aware of their growing attraction to one another.

We'll see some evidence of this right away, when Elena celebrates her 18th birthday and Damon gives her a special and meaningful present.

"...he came across something that she really, really, really wanted and needed, and he did what he had to do to get it for her." Damon told Zap2It, "She thinks that he stole it, or that he found it. It's a very beautiful moment between them. It's a really sweet, quiet moment."

Meanwhile, Nina also had something to say about the gift when she spoke to ThinkHeroTV.

Title of first 'Vampire Diaries' season 3 episode revealed along with new still

"He gives her something that is very important to her, very meaningful to her and you wouldn't think so," Nina revealed, "you wouldn't think that Damon would do this by giving her what he's going to give her, it's a token of trust in many ways."

Russell Armstrong "out of control" and deeply in debt before suicide

While it has come as a shock that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong's husband, Russell, committed suicide on Monday, friends say he was quickly getting "out of control."

No one was surprised when Taylor filed for divorce last month, as the couple was always fighting and their finances were in complete disarray. Taylor even accused Russel of physically abusing her.

Everyone on the set of RHOBH knew that Russell was in deep legal trouble and owed lots of money, "but never did anyone suspect he would kill himself," a close friend of Russell's told Us Weekly.

"He had lost everything, Taylor, his daughter, he was being sued." the friend said, "He felt totally out of control of his own life...Everything was spinning out of control."

Other sources close to the couple also said that Russell was dealing with huge amounts of emotional distress and that "his life was in shambles." Most people close to Russell knew full well that he was going through a very rough time, but none ever believed he would resort to suicide.
