On this season of Dancing with the Stars, Julianne Hough has taken control of boyfriend Chuck Wicks.

And that appears to be how each of these celebrities like it.

“We’ve never experienced anything like this where I have to kind of be in charge and he has to listen to me,” Hough said in a MySpace Celebrity video. “We’re growing, we’re learning about each other in a different way.”

 Julianne Hough and Chucks Wicks have already won the prize for Best Looking Pair. But will they take home the crystal ball trophy in May?

Added the country singer:

“We’ve had less date nights since we’ve started this show. It makes us appreciate everything more. I’ve found out a whole new side of her that I completely love.”

He was labeled heartless and indecisive for dispatching Melissa Rycroft on the "After the Final Rose" special, but The Bachelor star Jason Mesnick has certainly never wavered in his love and pride in being a single parent.

To that end, the boyfriend of Molly Malaney has launched a website to give single moms and dads a repository for all the info and resources they need.

"My goal is for Jason’s Place to become the most trusted place for single parents to come for advice, connections, honesty, and even a laugh," he says.

"Life has led me to a place where I truly want to reach out and share experiences with a group of people that I genuinely relate to and care about."

Jason Mesnick's new website is called Jason's Place.

You've missed Tiffany Pollard. Admit it.

The woman who tried - and failed - to find love and success in Hollywood on various reality TV shows is returning to the only company that will employ her.

On May 4, VH1 will premiere New York Goes to Work, an especially insulting, inappropriate series during these hard economic times.

While millions of Americans try to land a job everyday (in order to, you know, support their family), Pollard will shuttle between a variety of enterprises, all voted on by viewers.

If she can impress her employers, Tiffany will receive a $5,000 weekly bonus. However, if she quits, fails, or gets fired, she’ll be stuck with nothing except lots of publicity and the temporary possession of a job that someone else might actually need to pay off his mortgage.

Will you watch New York Goes to Work? Or does this mockery of the current job market cross the line, even by VH1's standards?

Michael Sarver is a very nice guy.

But it takes more than kindness to win American Idol.

The lovable oil rig worker was sent home last night, as there was no doubt that the judges wouldn't save him from elimination. The only surprise of the evening?

That sexy crooner Matt Giraud joined Sarver in the bottom two. How the heck did that happen?!?

Sorry, Michael Sarver and Matt Giraud. There isn't room on American Idol for both of you.

In the month since they shocked the world by getting back together after The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney are getting to know each other.

“Molly and I are happy,” Jason says.

The Bachelor lovebirds spent a few days this month spending time together sans cameras. Seattle-based Jason flew to see her in Milwaukee, where she lives.

They kept busy meeting her friends for drinks, taking romantic strolls along Lake Michigan, and, naturally, doing some “grilling out.”

“I’ve learned new terminology,” Jason Mesnick says, laughing at the Midwestern terminology for barbecuing. “It’s normal, right, to say ‘grilling out’?”

Molly Malaney has been doing some cooking for Jason, while he has been trying to tempt the meat-and-potatoes girl to try new foods at restaurants.

“She really has a hard time trying new things,” he says.

Then again, the dad says he has a hard time keeping to a schedule, something Molly is great at: “We pull each other in the right direction,” he says.

The biggest challenge, of course, is the. Molly hasn’t had a chance yet to fly to Seattle and spend any time with Jason’s four-year-old son, Ty.

“I’m headed out to Seattle in a couple of weeks,” she said. “I’m excited to just spend some time with Ty outside of the cameras and production.”

On April 26, viewers will be introduced to the VH1 dating show to end all VH1 dating shows.

On that date, Daisy De La Hoya is front and center on Daisy of Love.

We can't wait to watch the former Rock of Love contestant in action. Enjoy the following promo for the series, which is classic Daisy:

Don't misunderstand the headline for this article.

Everyone has already had many looks at Kendra Wilkinson, most of them taking place without the model wearing any clothes.

But one of Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend will soon star in her own reality show, titled Kendra. What's it about? We'll let Wilkinson explain:

I'm determined to adjust to life on my own [kinda], which means learning how to cook, clean, and not to mention plan a wedding.  E! thought it would be interesting to follow my transition and turn it into my own show!"

We agree. But what about fiance Hank Baskett? Can't it be called Kendra and Hank?

Either way, the series premieres in June. Here's a sneak peek at it:

A handful of singers put on solid performances for last night's Motown-themed American Idol.

We enjoyed the auditions of Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen and Matt Giraud.

But no one stood out like Adam Lambert. He actually went acoustic for his rendition of "Tracks of My Tears," as it took us a few moments to even recognize the singer. Check out his slicked-back look:

You simply must watch this performance. Can we hand Lambert the title now?

On the latest episode of For the Love of Ray J, the "ladies" were tasked with cooking pancakes were poor children. A brilliant idea, naturally.

Are you ready to get down to the sounds of Motown, American Idol fans?

The show's final 10 contestants will pay tribute to “50 Years of Motown” on tonight’s performance airing. Then, tomorrow, they’ll hang out with a past champion.

“Returning to American Idol means a great deal to me. It’s like going back home,” Ruben Studdard told People. “I get a chance to see many of the people responsible for elevating my career to the amazing level it is today. To be surrounded by American Idol’s great fans and all of the fantastic people that make the show happen is a blessing and I can’t wait to be a part of that world again.”

Look for Studdard to sing his latest single, “Together," tomorrow night.
