Jenna Jameson: Bound for Broadway?!?

Jenna Jameson has extensive history of performing in front of people. But can she do so with her clothes on?

The New York Post reports that the iconic porn star is in negotiations to join the Broadway play Rock of Ages, specifically in the role of Justice, the owner of a strip club.

"I think I'm perfect for the role," Jameson told the newspaper. "I am in talks with the producers, and I'm praying I get the role. Broadway has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. I am really excited."

Jameson says she's trying to jump start a new career, while also turning over a new page in her life.

Earlier this year, the former porn actress' father passed away, while her and boyfriend Tito Ortiz continue to see a therapist following his arrest on domestic violence charges. They are still very much together.

"Tito has been by my side non-stop," she says. "He's an amazing man."

Brandy Rocks Dancing With the Stars

It was Rock Week this week on Dancing with the Stars, and one star truly rocked her dance more than all her competitors. That star was Brandy.

Despite getting quite testy with Maksim Chmerkovskiy in rehearsals, the two pulled it together and tangoed to the top of the leaderboard. It was great.

Maybe going sexless for six years is benefiting her here. Brandy's just got that edge! She proceeded to win the dance marathon later on, as well!

TWO TO TANGO: Are Brandy and Maks the new favorites?

In second place after last night were Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani, despite what the judges see as untapped potential in terms of her character and passion.

Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke turned in a pretty nice tango, as did Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer, who have been quietly strong in recent weeks. Much improved.

The surprise of the night was probably that Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas outscored several - including favorites Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough - with their tango.

The judges applauded her growing confidence on the dance floor after the anti-teen pregnancy advocate had closely escaped from last week's elimination round.

Jennifer and Derek were told to calm down after a performance that was all over the place, but the lowest score came from Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya.

After competing for up to 30 points in their individual dances, it was time for a dance marathon, in which the couples all competed for an additional 10 points.

Kurt and Anna were the first to be removed, while Brandy and Maks were the last on the dance floor, giving them 10 additional points. What a night for them.

Here's how the scores shook out after two hours:

1. Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 36 (26, 10).
2. Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani: 32 (24, 8).
3. Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke: 30 (24, 6).
4. Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: 30 (23, 7).
5. Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: 29 (20, 9).
6. Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: 28 (23, 5).
7. Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya: 22 (18, 4).

Who do you think is in danger tonight? You have to think that with Bristol Palin's improvement, Kurt is headed home, though we've certainly been wrong before.

T.I. Drug Arrest Thrown Out By D.A.

The L.A. County D.A. has tossed the drug case stemming from T.I.'s arrest last month - the one that earned him an 11-month jail stint for violating probation.

What's unclear is whether T.I. being sent to jail anyway due to the probation violation made prosecuting him a moot point, or if there were other issues.

T.I. and Tiny, his wife, were busted on September 1 for possession of a controlled substance. Ecstasy was reportedly found in their car, and possibly sizzurp.

T.I. has a reason to smile, but it won't keep him out of jail.

The D.A.'s office says it's not going forward with charges because, in essence, he'll already be locked up, since the arrest was a violation of his federal probation.

However, there may have been legal problems over probable cause which led to T.I.'s arrest. For one, cops claimed they smelled marijuana in the rapper's car.

No pot was ever booked into evidence, however.

Additionally, T.I. and Tiny were pulled out of his ride immediately after he made the illegal U-turn and prior to any registration check. It's all very suspicious.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he can reverse the probation violation based on these developments, but at least he won't be prosecuted any further.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Oh, The Horror!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta was almost too painful and nauseating to watch this week. But our critic sucked it up, powered through and published a detailed review of the latest scripted shenanigans between these women. Enjoy...

Oh, the horror! The horror! Where do I begin? Nene goes to the plastic surgeon complaining about wanting her "happy" back. She and Gregg are just not getting along and her constant battles with Bryce are wearing her down. But how to get that happy back? Downsize those boobs! Lipo the pooch (her belly, not her Yorkie)! And pinch up those nostrils while you're at it!

Sheree is of the opinion that if she had plastic surgery every time she had a marital problem she'd look like Dwight. Zing!

We're introduced to Kim's parents (yes, she actually was not spawned from a Mattel plastic mold) this week.

They're a nice Italian couple who accuses Kim of trading family for fame since they no longer share those traditional Sunday dinners of yore. We learn that Kim's dad was an overprotective father and they LOVE Big Poppa. Who cares that their daughter was his mistress? According to Daddy, Kim's "a very class (sic) individual."

Big Poppa has moolah and apparently connections in the Catholic church because the parents suggest Kim ask him to help out with Brielle's upcoming baptism/christening/exorcism.

Phaedra and Dwight, meanwhile, invite Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter to the Steeplechase horse race. Phaedra's "an equestrian," so it's only normal that she wear spiked heels and a low-rent Pucci sheath to the track. Looking like a "black Tammy Faye Baker and Willy Wonka" in their matching pink hats, Phaedra nearly passes out when she learns that 50-year-old Peter has five kids! Phaedra wants a clean man like Apollo.

Prison rape? That's cool. Kids? Run for the hills. At the race, 50-year-old Peter is just hoping one of the horses runs off the track and crushes Phaedra. He'd love to knock her off her high horse (excuse the pun), but she's pregnant so a beating is out of the question.

Nene has her surgeries since that's how she deal with stress. Is it wrong to like Nene all drugged up and mumbling incoherently? She has her friend, Diana, call Gregg but his voice mail picks up. Sad.

Kandi's nervous about her new album. Kim pays no mind and just wants Kandi to write her next hit song. Now that she's a mega popstar, she tells Kandi her next single should be "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing"...a title inspired my Nene's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Kandi's down with it but this time she wants to get paid for her efforts. Sorry Kim, free ride's over.

Nene comes out of her surgeries and immediately asks how she looks. "I don't want to look like Dwight!" Poor D gets no respect. Doped up, Nene calls Kim and Sheree for support.

Meanwhile, Sheree attends her new love interest's seminar. Tiy-E "The Love Doctor" Muhammed has written a book about why black women can't land any men. Sheree is called to sit at an informal panel where she learns she needs to let the man open the ketchup bottle for her and that she'll never meet a man at Payless. The Love Doctor offers to cook Sheree a meal. Sheree swoons. Who knew it was overcooked pasta she was after all this time?

Nene recovers at home. Kim visits her and Nene tells her that even though she got her nostrils pinched like Dwight she still has her "black girl nose." Bryce isn't happy with Mommy's new look. Brent couldn't care less. And still no Gregg. Sad.

And finally our eyes are singed forever when we get a gander at Phaedra's "high class" baby shower. Break out the ticky-tacky, frou-frou, pinky-tipping Sunday revival party hats because this is about to get real freaky. Not Dwight, though. As the baby shower planner extraordinaire, he gets to wear a tiara and have his makeup professionally done.

Wearing what appears to be an entire bush of live rose buds on her head and counterfeit Swarovski crystals as eyeliner, Phaedra is the epitome of what Kandi calls "boughetto," the combination of "bougie" and "ghetto." Lisa Wu Hartwell makes an appearance (zzzz) and Phaedra nearly kills Kim for arriving late to her shower... hatless no less!

Did she not get the trumpeted invitation requesting high class attire to the queen's masquerade ball, er, shower?!? Kim, Kandi and Lisa are speechless at the sight of the ballerinas twirling about and Dwight leading about-to-burst Phaedra in a waltz (Apollo refused to participate in this "girly" spectacle). After all, Phaedra is an entertainment lawyer and she loves the arts - and herself - so why not have as your baby shower a demented version of "The Nutcracker" as directed by Baby Jane in the senior center.

Oh the horror, the horror.

Mel Gibson Will Testify in Child Custody Battle

After months of speculation, rumors and insane Mel Gibson rants, we'll finally hear from the actor himself. Or at least a judge will. He's being deposed Monday.

Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers finally snagged a sit-down interview with Gibson, though the deposition will only involve their child custody battle over Lucia.

In other words, domestic violence allegations against him are off-limits.

Mel will finally give his side of the story. Sort of.

"Mel's team agreed to have him sit for the deposition November 1," a source said. "Mel will decline to discuss the alleged assault on Oksana, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination given the active police investigation."

Oksana Grigorieva - already in crisis after their family law specialist quit on Sunday - is facing even more obstacles behind the scenes, as she feels she does not have a qualified lawyer who can interrogate the Oscar-winning actor/director.

Her lead attorney, Martin Garbus, is unable to practice in California after a judge rejected his pro hac vice motion last week, as Radar Online reported.

Oksana's other lawyer, Lisa Bloom, will be in London to speak before the House of Commons on climate change on the same day Mel is being deposed.

Given Garbus' inability to be admitted in California, and Bloom's scheduling conflict, it is unclear who is going to take Mel's deposition, sources report.

Daniel Horowitz is her only attorney available.

Oksana's lawyers have been trying to schedule a deposition with Mel since August after he missed two dates due to his vacation with his children.

However, a Los Angeles judge ordered Mel to submit to the attorneys' questioning before another judge and gave him a November 10 deadline.

Lindsay Lohan Being Rushed Back to Work?

Lindsay Lohan is looking at a Catch-22 of sorts come early 2011.

Girl is gonna be needing money to pay off her expensive rehab stint, but taking it easy might be the best way to make certain there is no next rehab stint.

So when we hear that her management team is already lining up projects for the actress as soon as she steps out of rehab, it makes us a bit concerned.

Can Lindsay Lohan turn her life around? [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

LiLo's closest friends, too, are concerned that rushing her back into the spotlight - Lohan's managers have been devouring movie scripts, furiously trying to set up meetings, and organizing fashion projects - could be a dangerous move.

January 3 is the earliest Lindsay can leave the Betty Ford Clinic. One friend says she "definitely shouldn't be working the first week. She should not be working the first couple months. She needs to be attending daily meetings."

"Lindsay needs to focus on herself for some time honestly."

What do you think? Should she cool it for a long enough time, a la Britney, that she can truly come back with a vengeance? Can she stay clean at all?

Janet Jackson: Not Engaged to Wissam Al Mana

Is Janet Jackson engaged to Wissam Al Mana? No, no she's not.

She had to deal with the same rumors about her last boyfriend, but that's all they are in this case, too. Rumors. And she takes them in stride.

On Good Morning America to promote her new film For Colored Girls, she says there's no truth to the engagement story, but she's very happy.

Wissam Al Mana is no becoming Mr. Janet Jackson ... yet.

The interview inevitably turned to the singer's personal life and when asked about her blossoming relationship she shot down any marriage rumors.

'He is a very private man so i don't talk about our relationship,' she said of Wissam Al Mana, an Middle Eastern businessman she began dating in April.

"But it is really important that I just say this," she continued to her GMA host. "They (media) have been trying to marry me off for a very long time."

"No I am not engaged, I will say that. But, I am in a really good place."

Hey, as long as she's happy, so are we.

Teen Mom Drama: Amber Portwood Freaks the Hell Out, Gary Shirley and Baby Leah Escape Injury

Just weeks after their televised smackdown, a police report from a new, disturbing fight between Teen Mom stars Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley has surfaced.

But despite the latest of many heated confrontations between the troubled couple, Gary insists that both he and the couple's baby, Leah, are “100 percent OK.”

At 12:33 a.m. last Wednesday in the couple’s home town of Anderson, Ind., Gary says he pushed Amber out of his home after she “threatened to batter him.”

ALL GOOD: Gary and Leah are fine after the latest domestic disturbance.

Amber Portwood, who was only wearing underwear at the time, became enraged when Gary received a text message she thought was from another woman.

The pair were quietly watching a movie together when she saw the text, which Gary later told police was from a male friend – NOT a woman. Oops. Her bad.

According to the police report, a fight erupted and Gary Shirley headed for the door when Amber Portwood physically threatened him. Pretty standard stuff.

When Amber followed him outside in her underwear, Gary rushed back in and locked her out to avoid being hit by his fiancee, who has a history of violence.

The police report also notes that “Ms. Portwood seemed extremely stressed out” and that she was with Gary because her apartment was “being boxed up.”

Officers drove her home so "the two could be separated."

RAGE: It's a pretty common thing with Amber Portwood.

Amber has a well-chronicled history of violence on the MTV reality show, with a number of episodes even showing her getting physically abusive with Gary.

She is currently under investigation with the Anderson Police Department for domestic abuse. Somehow we don't imagine it will be the last time, either.

Gary Shirley says he's got her back. He'd better be careful the next time he turns his back on her, though, lest he end up with a steak knife lodged in it.

Joy Behar Decrees Sharron Angle Campaign Ad, Refers to Candidate as "Evil Moron"

Bill O'Reilly, you got off easy.

When that Fox News anchor appeared on The View last week, Joy Behar simply walked off the stage.

But Sharron Angle, who is challenging Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for his office in Nevada, received the full wrath of Behar on today's edition of that gabfest.

The show aired a new campaign commercial (posted below) in which Angle takes Reid to task for his handling of illegal aliens.

Intepreting the spot to be a comparison of Latinos to terrorists, Behar addressed the camera this morning and called Angle a “bitch," said she was “going to hell" and added that the candidate is “a moron on top of being evil."

Elisabeth Hasselbeck chimed in and agreed the ad is "wrong." Watch it now and then sound off with your take.

Charlie Sheen Update: High on Cocaine, Flying to Los Angeles

We have more details about Charlie Sheen and the incident this morning involving him, a trashed NYC hotel room and a naked call girl locked in the bathroom.

As previously reported, authorities found the actor passed out in his bed at the Plaza around 2 a.m. Sources say he went to his room with a prostitute, could not find his wallet and went off on the escort, tossing around furniture and scaring her to the point where she barricaded herself in a bathroom and called the cops.

Sheen's rep has hilariously claimed his client simply had an allergic reaction, but an insider that allegedly spoke to the hooker in question says she and Sheen were high on cocaine at the time of the incident.

"The prostitute says Charlie was using cocaine,” a source told Radar Online. "She said after he did the coke, he flipped out, couldn’t find his wallet and accused her of stealing it.”

Here is what else can we report:

• Sheen was eight days away from the end of his probation, stemming from the plea bargain he struck in August on charges of domestic violence, but it's unlikely this incident will be considered a violation because he wasn't caught committing a crime.
• Friends tell TMZ the actor has been hanging out with "bad people" recently and has been abusing various substances for months.
• Insiders associated with Two and a Half Men have paid for a private jet to fly Sheen back to Los Angeles after he checks out of a NYC hospital today.
• He will then move back home. Another stint in rehab is clearly needed, but unlikely to occur.

Jessica White Arrested After Bar Fight

Sports Illustrated model Jessica White was out celebrating her breakup with Sean Penn. That can be very exciting stuff, for sure, but she got a little carried away.

White was arrested over the weekend for assault.

“Jessica was out with a bunch of friends celebrating her new single status,” her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, who (in)famously represented Jon Gosselin last year, said. “She just ended her relationship with Sean Penn and was celebrating.”

Is Jessica White as dangerous as she is gorgeous?

According to reports, White allegedly hit a woman repeatedly in the face and pulled her hair before getting arrested outside New York City’s Avenue Lounge.

She was held in police custody for over 12 hours.

Heller says there “were at least five witnesses that will be able to corroborate her (White’s) story and confirm that her conduct was not criminal in nature."

Adding that White is not "the type of woman who gets into cat fights,” Heller said that “Stories concerning celebrities frequently get blown up and I am confident that the air will be released a blown up story that has obviously been over inflated."

Maybe so. The Charlie Sheen story, though? That thing's still inflating!
