Dancing with the Stars, Seaon 4. Top Five

The hottest contenders for this Season are the cute partners Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough who garnered a perfect score in their last dance number. Laila Ali failed to get a perfect score despite the inspiration given her by the presence of her dad, Muhammad Ali.

Cheryl is not lucky to have a good dancing partner this season although Ian tried very hard. They need a lot of votes to be included in the finals. It's a choice between them and Karina and Billy Ray Cyrus who will be eliminated. Billy Ray Cyrus may have received the lowest scores but his million fans may rally to get him the votes to join the semi-finals.
Here is the breakdown of the scores.

The first dancers were Ian Ziering and Cheryl Burke.

1. Ian Ziering and Cheryl Burke


Dance 1: Foxtrot
Scores:
Carrie Ann: 8

Britney's attempt comeback concert a no-go

She may not realize it but popularity is not permanent.

After the two club performances where all she did was to lipsynch and to appear only for 15 minutes, the concert scheduled at Forty Deuce is canceled.

Excerpt of the news:

“She wants to get back to performing on a small scale before she gets back in front of a big crowd,” according to a source, who says the singer apparently thought that the club, which is known for its burlesque shows, would be a good place for her first post-rehab appearance.

Despite repeated rehearsals, at the last minute, someone decided Spears wasn’t quite ready and the show was nixed, according to sources. It may be rescheduled.

Fans in San Diego were disappointed when Spears' 20-minute performance, all lip-synched, included four songs, among them one of her last hits, "Toxic."

Paris Hilton going to jail?

Paris Hilton, accompanied by her mother Kathy and father
Rick was sentenced with 45-days jail time.

Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying
into worldwide notoriety, must go to jail on June 5 and
she will not be allowed any work release, furloughs, use
of an alternative jail or any electronic monitoring in lieu
of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled after
a hearing.

The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of
her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete
attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on
purpose at all," she told the judge before he announced the
sentence.

She was then ordered to report to a women's jail in suburban
Lynwood on the set date or face 90 days behind bars.
