She just couldn't stay away.

Karina Smirnoff has confirmed that she's returning to Dancing with the Stars this season, which premieres on March 22.

“Yes, I will be participating in the show again next season,” she said this week, though she doesn't know who her partner will be. “I won’t be told who my celebrity partner is until two weeks before we meet them for the first time."

The cast will be announced on ABC on March 1. So far, the only real celebrity rumored to be taking to the dance floor is Pamela Anderson.

Are you glad Smirnoff is coming back?

The Real Housewives of New York City returns for a third season on March 4.

And fans of Alex McCord and husband Simon van Kempen - if such people exist - better enjoy this couple's escapades while they can: reports indicate they won't be asked back for a fourth season.

"Viewers don't have a positive reaction to them, so they're easily replaceable at this point," an insider told The New York Daily News, while a rep for Bravo simply said:"no details have been released about next season."

At issue? First, Simon threw a "hissy fit," sources say, when he learned he wasn't being compensated as well as other stars.

"Also, they don't really fit in with the other wives," said the mole. "All of the other women's story lines have interwoven, yet Alex and Simon have kept theirs separate. It isn't nearly as interesting as the other Housewives."

Moreover, Simon doesn't seem to comprehend the title of the show. The source continues:

"Simon wants to be an equal on the show, but that doesn't really make any sense to Bravo. After all, he's not a ‘Real Housewife,' now is he?"

Well, no. But would anyone really classify Bethenny Frankel as such?

Ready for the most jiggly contestant of all-time?

According to Radar Online, Pamela Anderson is set to appear on the new season of Dancing With the Stars.

“Pam is thrilled and so is the show,” the source said. “She really wanted to do the show and the show thought it was a great idea,” the source told RadarOnline.com.

The full new cast of Dancing with the Stars will be revealed on the March 1 season finale of The Bachelor.

It will then premiere on ABC on March 22.

Take an inspiring personal story, mix it up with a great voice and a cute personality and you get Haeley Vaughn.

The 16-year old auditioned for American Idol in Denver this week and said she wants to be one of the only "black country pop" singers around.

She's off to a good start, as Vaughn impressed the judges with a rendition of Carrie Underwood's "Last Name." Watch the try-out, and learn more about the singer's premature birth and family tragedy, below.

This spring, Danielle Staub is coming out with an autobiography titled "The Naked Truth."

This is ironic because the nut job of a Real Housewife says she's sworn off sex, having not taken it from a man in a year and a half and supposedly not planning on doing it again until marriage.

“I’m abstinent now,” she told People magazine. "I realized that with abstinence, if you really, really believe in yourself like I do, you discover your own self-worth. Abstinence means you refrain from any sex, even to yourself! I’m a born-again virgin.”

Pssst, Danielle: there's a big difference between abstience and not being able to land a man because you're insane.

Staub adds that she wants to get married again, but she doesn't need to.

“I will never find him, he’ll find me. I think the right one will see me. I want old-fashioned courting," she said, adding that the wait for sex will be worth it and seeming quite confident she'll get plowed again before she dies:

“Can you imagine what it would be like on the wedding night? It’s going to happen. Have you seen me?”

Yes, often in our nightmares. We wake up screaming.

Paging Paula Abdul?

Samantha Harris has resigned as co-host of Dancing with the Stars. While she referred to the show as her "dream job" in a statement," she said she won't return for season 10, which premieres on March 22.

Instead, Harris will focus on other television gigs, such as her correspondent duties at The Insider, which have grown in the last few months.

“I interned at Entertainment Tonight 15 years ago, the summer after my sophomore year at Northwestern and I dreamed of working in the same space as hosts Mary Hart and Mark Steines and now I’m living that dream,” said Harris, who apparently had multiple dreams.

Said Dancing with the Stars executive producer Conrad Green:

“Samantha has been a brilliant part of [DWTS] and we wish her the best of luck on The Insider. She’s done an incredible job. Some of the most memorable moments on the show have been facilitated by Samantha. I think we’ll all walk away with enormous happy memories of working with one another.”

Is Abdul now the obvious choice to replace Harris? Who do you wanna see in this role?

They may have gotten together in an unusual manner, but Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney aren't simply still together: the cute couple is getting married - and ABC will televise the festivities!

The network will air The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding on March 8. It will include the bride's dress fitting; lots of planning for the big day; along with bachelor and bachelorette parties.

Aside from friends and family, the special will feature past contestants on the reality show.

Mesnick and Malaney's wedding is the second such event in the contrived show's 19 seasons. Over 17 million people tuned in to watch Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter tie the knot in December 2003.

We don't know a lot about Andrew Garcia, except for this: Dude can sing!

The aspiring season nine contestant tried out for American Idol in Los Angeles this week and received approval from all four judges for Hollywood.

Garcia is part of a band called The Adrian William Project and hails from Moreno Valley, California. He also has a son named Caeland.

Check out Andrew's audition below and chime in with your thoughts on this singer:

On last week's episode of Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair, the show's star came across something shocking:

A racy online photo of contestant Jenny Jones!

We'll give readers a few moments to deal with the shock that a VH1 reality show contestant might have a past full of nude pictures...

Wouldn't it have been more distubing if Jones did NOT pose for any lewd photos? It would shatter our image of what a VH1 star is like.

However, was the image that got Jenny kicked out of Frank's basement even X-rated? She posted it on Twitter over the weekend and we're not very impressed. Check it out below.

On this week's Orlando audition-based episode of American Idol, viewers met Matt Lawrence.

The burly Florida singer had an impressive personal story to share: he left home at the age of 15 and was eventually arrested for robbery, spending four years in jail.

So, why is he trying out?

“I wanna do something that will put a smile on [my parents'] face ten times more than I made them cry,” he said, prior to wowing judges with an audition that Simon referred to as "brilliant."
