Apparently there are more rodeo fans in the country than we realized.

This group banded together to save one of its own last night, as Ty Murray remained on Dancing with the Stars despite a weak Monday evening performance.

In his place, Lil Kim (and Derek Hough) were sent packing. The rapper and former convict took the news well, at least.

"I think this is one of the greatest experiences I've ever experienced in my life," she said, while Hough couldn't praise his partner enough:

"Amazing person, amazing soul, amazing spirit - and an amazing dancer."

A week after somehow falling into the bottom two on American Idol, Adam Lambert bounced back in a major way last night.

The singer performed a Led Zeppelin original, "Whole Lotta Love," as that title also described how the judges felt about Lambert rendition. Randy Jackson said it should put to rest talk that Adam is somehow a one-note Broadway performer.

Watch and critique for yourself:

Fresh off her memorable stint on The Bachelor, where she finished third, the lovely Jillian Harris is set to take charge as the star of The Bachelorette.

According to ABC's press release, in a first-ever twist; five strikingly handsome late arrivals crash the opening night's cocktail party late, giving our girl 30 suitors to choose from - not just 25 - when the season debuts May 18!

By the end of the night, Jillian is confident her search for love will not be in vain, but she must eliminate 10 of the 30, leaving 20 to vie for her heart.

Some more Bachelorette spoilers from Jillian Harris' upcoming season:

• The bachelors vote for the man they'd like to send home - much to one stunned bachelor's dismay.
• Jillian Harris' intimate dates will take place in California, Hawaii, Spain and, of course, Canada.
• One man literally sweeps her off her feet and yet another becomes quite tongue-tied in her presence. 
• Two bachelors compete for Jillian's love ... via a dance-off. You knew it was coming eventually.
• Jillian takes one lucky man on her ultimate dream date: a private concert by Martina McBride.
• Several of the guys will play pickup basketball against the famed Harlem Globetrotters.
• A select few lucky guys get to see her hometown of Vancouver near the season's end.
• A single dad from Dallas named is Tanner will reportedly be in the mix.

Earlier this week, Myammee was crowned the winner of I Love Money 2.

As the reality TV star goes on about in a new interview with VH1, she still can't believe she was victorious. Here are a few excerpts:

On winning: It is still kind of unreal to me right now, because as someone coming from my background, someone who grew up in Miami-Dade, Liberty City, you would never expect somebody like me to really win. I just want everybody to know that it’s really like you can win it. If you just put your mind to it, you really can get it done. You just have to make sure you stay focused and have the right people around you.

On the key to her success: I came not to make any friends (even though I did). I came to try and win the money the best I could. And I did what I had to do to get it done, in all areas. Of course, I had a couple people around me motivating me to keep going even though I wanted to quit and say f*** it. Tailor Made kept me there.

Did Myammee deserve the cash prize that went to the winner of I Love Money 2?

Like any dedicated attendee at the Kentucky Derby, reality TV star Bethenny Frankel dressed for the part last Saturday.

It's a race tradition for fans at the track to deck themselves out in outlandish hates and dresses. The lollipop, though? That was Frankel's personal touch.

Last night, Audrina Patridge incurred the wrath of Jayde Nicole over her Hawaiian hookup with Brody Jenner. Needless to say, a pair of cat fights didn't end well.

Meanwhile, Heidi Montag intercepted a text from bartender Staci on Spencer Pratt's phone and decided to do something about it. That didn't end well, either.

Playmates do bring the drama, as LC stated ... and Brody may have gotten a little enjoyment over Jayde and Audrina fighting over him. As for Spencer Pratt?

Well, that guy seems to enjoy causing trouble, no matter what reason or what lengths he has to go to. Follow the link for an episode recap of The Hills!

Audrina Patridge and Jayde Nicole really went at it last night on The Hills. Unfortunately, not in the way you would probably have liked.

Five tandems. 10 dances. One perfect score.

That sums up this week's performance show of Dancing With the Stars, as the remaining couples danced a pair of routines each. Only one was strong enough to earn a perfect score, however.

And it was delivered by someone too injured to even perform last week.

Don't look so sad, Melissa. You're perfect!

Sorry, Cocktail. We know you came out on top (and, likely, from behind) of For the Love of Ray J, but the woman that claims to have truly won over Ray J seems to be a far more ideal mate for this sex tape director.

In her latest blog entry, none other than Tila Tequila herself confirms a relationship with the ex-boyfriend of Kim Kardashian.

Sounding completely sincere, she writes:

“My baby is Ray J…..and no man has made me feel so loved and so happy in such a long time.  We really do love each other and I am so happy to have FINALLY met someone who treats me with respect and love.  He is so sweet to me and makes me melt everytime I see him…….I love my baby……so there you have it! Tila Tequila is officially dating Ray J!!!!!! I think we make the cutest couple….dont you?????”

Tila proceeds to strip for her "baby." Follow this article's jump to watch the video, which features a pair of wardrobe malfunctions.

Either Bethenny Frankel has a great publicist, or The New York Times is desperate for content.

For reasons we're still trying to comprehend, the newspaper covered the Real Housewives of New York star as she spent an evening at Tortilla Flats in the West Village, taking part in the weekly Hula-Hoop competition there with her date, Jason Hoppy.

In breaking, important news, the article says she and Hoppy drank SkinnyGirl Margarita (two ounces of tequila with a few splashes of this and that), while Frankel dished on Kelly Killoren Bensimon. Hoppy gave his quasi girlfriend props for reaming so calm during a recent altercation between the two, to which Frankel replied:

“Have you ever seen a building implode?” she said, describing her thinking at the time. “You don’t say anything, you just watch it quietly crumble."

Overall, despite being single 38-year-old reality star, Bethenny said she’s living her dream. “

My friends call me ‘That Girl,’ like Marlo Thomas. Like, I’m in New York trying to figure it out.”

Despite recent reports claiming she is looking to return to The Hills next season after all, due to the recession and limited opportunity elsewhere, Lauren Conrad's rep insists the current season will indeed be her last.

But the New York Post reported on Saturday that LC is working out a new deal to re-appear on the reality show after assessing the dire economy.

"She kind of realized, especially in this economy, there's not much else out there for her," says the Post, also citing the return of Kristin Cavallari.

But her rep says there's no such plan: "She is focusing on both clothing lines and her books. She has no plans to return to The Hills at this time."

MTV has already announced the show will return in the fall with new episodes even without Lauren Conrad, who has starred on the show since its debut.

"[Lauren Conrad] has moved on, but Heidi, Audrina, Spencer, Justin Bobby, Brody, Stephanie and Lo will be back as the drama continues with fresh faces, new stories and shocking surprises," reads MTV's press release.

The show will air in its usual time tonight at 10 p.m. The season finale, which features the whole Hills gang at Spencer and Heidi's wedding, is May 31.
