Lucy Walsh - one of the favorite on the new MTV series Rock the Cradle - recently commented on the engagement (and possible pregnancy) of Ashlee Simpson.

"I think they are a cute couple, and they are going to have cute, tiny kids," Lucy Walsh â€" the 24-year-old daughter of Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh said.

Lucy added that she's "super excited" the pair is getting married and is "going to have to get planning" on an engagement bash. We'll cover it in-depth if this event takes place.

Eh, not really. It's all about expectations. With Miley Cyrus photos, this sort of thing is as racy as it gets - because of the Hannah Montana star's good-girl image.

On the flip side, we've already seen Audrina Patridge naked.

Don't get us wrong - any photos of The Hills star are worth including on this site, even when it just involved her running errands in L.A.

But it's not the kind of thing to get particularly excited about. Anyway, here's today's Audrina Patridge photo special. She's pretty ...

This week, The Hills' Lauren Conrad debuted her long hair extensions, which replaced the short haircut shown in the other photo below, which replaced her naturally long locks before that. Crazy stuff, we know!

Which Lauren Conrad hairstyle do you prefer?

Crosy Loggins and Lucy Walsh earned the first perfect scores of the season on Rock the Cradle last night. They are clearly the singers to beat in this competition.

A pair of celebrity sons were voted off the series, however. Who were they? Review our Rock the Cradle episode guide now to find out!

Crosby Loggins won't be going anywhere any time soon. This Rock the Cradle contestant actually has talent!

Due tot he return of Lost and Grey's Anatomy last night, we understand why many viewers missed out on a couple of reality shows that aired. But that's why we're here!

Let's recap them now...

Survivor: Tonight's Survivor Auction was similar to ones we've seen in the past. They received wallets with $500 to spend on covered dishes. Most of the dishes were good things, but a few were booby prizes... -- TV Squad

Step It Up and Dance: All the dancers are anxious to see what the next challenge is and are told to go to the theater. The contestants take a seat while guru Jerry and Elizabeth Berkley get their hair and make-up done. There's a sweeper on the stage who starts doing a beat with his broom... -- Zap2It

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are still alive this season on Dancing with the Stars.

But the state of this tandem on TV is not what has fellow contestants buzzing. Instead, they're reacting to recent photos that show the pair kissing.

"They might have been auditioning for a new romantic comedy, like Friends with Benefits," Karina Smirnoff joked about the make out session."They're both hot, young single people, so why not?"

Smirnoff, of course, is dating the man with whom she partnered on the series two years ago, Mario Lopez; although each has insisted that romance blossomed after their run on the show was over.

Cristian de la Fuente also doesn't see a problem with the romantic pairing: "When you spend a lot of time with somebody and you have a good relationship, you want to extend that working relationship to the house."

Lastly, let's hear from Mark Ballas, Hough's roommate and bandmate:

"He's single. She's single. Whatever. I think what's great about their relationship is they're really good friends and they get along really well. They have great chemistry."

That sums it up to us.

What's the point in having weekly performance on American Idol if a contestant can forget the lyrics and remain on the show?

That's the essential question posed by a recent article in The Los Angeles Times following this week's surprise elimination of Carly Smithson. It reads:

"It's hardly unusual, in the pop game, for image to trump musical talent â€" who can forget the scandal when plus-size Martha Wash was replaced by svelte models in the marketing campaigns for a string of 1990s dance club hits?

Tonight proved that we can no longer dream that American Idol rises above such gimmicks. At least Syesha Mercado survived, by a thread. But the loss of Carly not only robs this season of its best pure singer - it wipes unbridled passion and humanity from the stage...

We already know that Ambre Lake has won Bret Michaels' heart - at least for now - but here are a couple other quick tidbits on the Rock of Love star:

• On Thursday, May 1, catch Michaels on Celebrity Edition of Don't Forget the Lyrics. We know what you're thinking and, no, we also has no idea Michaels was considered a celebrity.

• The former Poison front man is also set to release his latest solo album, "Rock My World." It hits retail stores on June 3.  The CD, which contains mostly previously released material, will treat fans to 12 tracks of pure classic Michaels' vocals.

MSNBC reportedly invited Heidi Montag to be a guest at its table at the White House Correspondents Gala. Why? We have no idea.

But that's not the point. The network balked when boyfriend Spencer Pratt - also Heidi's manager - insisted on first-class tickets. For the couple.

Only Heidi Montag was invited.

Spencer Pratt then bagged Heidi's appearance, claiming, according to the New York Post, that "It wasn't ‘A-listy' enough" for his girl.

A rep for The Hills couple said, "There was a scheduling conflict so they couldn't make it ... but they always travel together."

Okaaay. An MSNBC spokesperson replied: "We are not having, nor did we invite, any celebrities to sit at our table."

Marlee Matlin appeared on  Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week. When asked about her experience on Dancing with the Stars, the actress sounded proud and grateful.

"I'm glad as a deaf woman that I was able to go out there and prove I can dance and do it as best as I could.  Anybody - any person - can do what they want," Matlin signed.

This would prove to be the final dance for Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez.

Kimmel then asked Matlin about her thoughts on the competition so far, which has been dominated by Olympic gold medalist figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi and her partner Mark Ballas; they found themselves atop the Dancing with the Stars judges' leaderboard for the fifth week in a row - and also scored the sixth season's first perfect score - on Monday night.

Matlih, however, pointed to a different athlete when making a prediction about the winner:

"I actually think that it will be Jason Taylor," she said, replying to a question about Yamaguchi with: "Kristi who? Don't know the person."

Might there be tension between Marlee Matlin and Kristi Yamaguchi?!?
