Mark Cuban Involved in Insider Trading?

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is being charged with insider trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil suit on Monday claiming that in 2004, Cuban sold off his shares in a company right before the prices fell. By selling before the share prices dropped, Cuban saved himself $750,000, but that type of activity is illegal. Just ask Martha Stewart – she was fined $30,000 and did five months at Alderson Federal Prison Camp for it!

Will Helio Be Saying Hello to Prison?

Hmmm… maybe this is the real reason his fiancee dumped him. Julianne Hough , we should have believed you from the get go. “Dancing with the Stars” champ Helio Castroneves may be shimming his way into a prison cell if federal prosecutors get their way. The pro racecar driver turned celebrity hoofer on the hit ABC dance competition was indicted yesterday in a federal income tax case in Florida. Feds are accusing Castroneves of not paying taxes on more than $5 million. According to news reports, the 33-year-old Brazilian is being charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and … Continue reading →

Celeb Splits: Mark and Sabrina, Andy and Marla, and Suri and Her Bottle

MARK AND SABRINA The other day I made the comment that more successful hook ups take place on a single season of “Dancing with the Stars” than on years of ABC’s other reality series “The Bachelor.” I counted pro dancer Mark Ballas and his former Cheetah Girl celebrity partner Sabrina Bryan among the “success” stories, but alas I may have spoken too soon. According to US Magazine, the sizzling hot couple, who met in November 2007 when they were partnered together on season five of DWTS, split a few weeks ago. “We are just friends now,” Ballas told US following … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Potpourri: Duff Changing Zip Codes and the Queen of Green

Hilary Duff was in diapers when Beverly Hills, 90210 was a ratings success. Now nearly two decades after the popular teen drama hit the airwaves Duff could get the chance to make her mark on the show. E! News is reporting that producers recently approached the 20-year-old singer-actress to star in the CW’s upcoming Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff. Insiders say Duff is being considered for the role of Annie, the principal’s daughter at West Beverly Hills High. If she commits she would join Dustin Milligan and Nip/Tuck’s AnnaLynne McCord, who have already signed up to star in the show. Former … Continue reading →

Karina, Mario and Mario

You have to wonder what happens when Mario Lopez visits his girlfriend Karina Smirnoff during rehearsals for her latest appearance on “Dancing with the Stars.” I’m sure there’s a lot of head turning going on… especially when the pro dancer compliments Mario… her new dance partner. For season six of the popular ABC dance show Smirnoff has been paired with multi-platinum recording artist and actor Mario. (Hard to believe it was just three seasons ago that the sizzling hot Ukrainian-born dancer took Lopez all the way to the finals.) Mario meet Mario. Talk about déjà vu. The new Mario calls … Continue reading →

The Cheetah Girls (2003)

Sabrina Bryan was my favorite competitor in this last season of “Dancing with the Stars.” I knew she was a Cheetah Girl, but to be honest, all I really knew was that the Cheetah Girls were some kind of girl group. They’ve certainly created quite the sensation amongst the preteen set, so I decided I’d watch this movie and see what the fuss was about. Raven stars as Galleria (yeah, that’s right) a teenager who writes music. Together with her friends Aqua (Kiely Williams), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) they are the Cheetah Girls, a band that sings … Continue reading →

Get Fit With a Dancing Cheetah Girl

When Sabrina Bryan showed up on Dancing with the Stars, my daughter went nuts. I had no idea who the blonde bombshell was until my 7 year old informed me that she was a “Cheetah Girl” in that tone that suggests I should have been paying attention. While we were crazy for So You Think You Can Dance last summer, we’ve never fallen for the Dancing with the Stars until this year. Healthy Kids Fitness Challenge The Healthy Kids Fitness Challenge is committed to promoting a healthy body image for young girls as well as combating childhood obesity. It turns … Continue reading →

What’s Up With Helio and Julianne?

It’s been about a week since Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough walked away with the tackiest trophy in primetime TV. And it didn’t tale long for the newly crowned “Dancing with the Stars” champs to become fodder for the tabloids. (Thanks in large part to Castroneves’ ex-fiancée.) Now, as the hype surrounding their fancy footwork (both on and off the dance floor) dies down, news about the golden couple is becoming less salacious. In fact, it’s becoming down right boring, unless you live in Indianapolis, Nashville, or Greensboro, North Carolina. If you are a resident of any of the aforementioned … Continue reading →
