DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30


*Big concert news: New Kids On The Block are coming to Atlantic City! The concert is set for September 27 at Borgata. Tickets go on sale May 17 at 10AM. I will remind you as we closer to the on-sale date.

*More concert news: Jon Bon Jovi revealed that the band in planning a concert in New York's Central Park.

*Shannon Elizabeth was voted off Dancing With the Stars. Contestant Cristian de la Fuente, who was taken to the hospital Tuesday night, gave a medical update last night. He ruptured a tendon in his bicep (ouch!) and has to have surgery, but he said he will remain in the competition.

*The Top 5 performed the songs of Neil Diamond last night on American Idol. Cutie David Archuleta sang "Sweet Caroline" in the first round as I was hoping. Each contestant performed 2 songs. After everyone sang in the first round, the judges quickly summed up their comments. Well, Paula Abdul is really losing it, because she started judging TWO of Jason's songs, even though he only sang one. It was a classic moment! Ryan Seacrest was looking to the side of the stage, not knowing what to do. Audience members were whispering to each other, and finally Randy clued Paula in on what was going on. We'll find out who's going home tonight at 9:00 on the results show. My prediction: either Brooke or Syesha.

*The new reality/dating show Farmer Takes a Wife debuts tonight at 9:00 on the CW Network. Think Green Acres meets The Bachelor. 10 big city women vie for the affection of 29-year-old Missouri farmer Matt.

*Mariah Carey was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her left hand ring finger. So, is she engaged? Mariah has been dating actor/singer Nick Cannon. Reps for both had no comment.

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - TUESDAY, APRIL 29


*Life imitates art for "Baby Mama" star Amy Poehler. Amy and her hubby, Will Arnett are expecting their first baby. Congrats! By the way, I saw "Baby Mama" yesterday and loved it.

*Another injury on Dancing With the Stars--I think the set is jinxed! Actor Cristian de la Fuente was taken to the hospital after pulling a muscle in his arm. We'll find out how he's doing tonight on the results show.

*The Top 5 perform tonight on American Idol after being mentored by Neil Diamond. I would love to see David Archuleta sing "Sweet Caroline!" Remember Brian Dunkleman, who quit the show after hosting the first season with Ryan Seacrest? Here's what Dunkleman said about quitting: "I didn't think it was cool. If I had known it was going to run for 70 years, I would have sucked it up and become callous like the rest of them." Hmmm...I sense some bitterness....

*Britney Spears is returning to the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" on the May 12 episode

*Madonna's new album, Hard Candy hits stores today

*My DVD pick: 27 Dresses, the romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl, which is in stores today

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - FRIDAY, APRIL 25


*Madonna debuted her new album, Hard Candy on MySpace 4 days before the album's official release date. By the way, have you seen Madonna and Justin Timerlake's video for the song "4 Minutes?" I want to be Madonna when I grow up!

*Carmen Electra is planning her third trip down the aisle. Carmen is engaged to guitarist Rob Patterson after dating for less than a year. It's weird to think that Carmen was once married to Dennis Rodman!

*Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 3 years in prison for tax evasion. He told the judge he's sorry and will never do it again (ya think???!!!)

*Tom Cruise is going back on Oprah's show in May. Do you think he'll jump on her couch this time?

*Transformers star Megan Fox was named FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World, followed by Jessia Biel and Jessica Alba.

*Carrie Underwood admitted that she has been cheated on twice--poor girl! Her song "Before He Cheats" suddenly makes sense!

*NBC executives said O.J. Simpson will not be on the next season of The Celebrity Apprentice. Good--I thought they were going to have to hide all of the sharp objects in Donald Trump's boardroom!

*Pregnant teen Jamie Lynn Spears is terrified of giving birth. Her mom made things worse by showing her a childbirth video! Maybe Jamie Lynn will go see the new movie Baby Mama, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, which opens today in theaters.

*Listen for Diane's Celebrity Dirt weekday mornings at 6:30, 7:30 & 8:30 on 95.1 WAYV. Have a great weekend!

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23


*Marlee Matlin was voted off Dancing With the Stars. In case you don't know about Marlee, she is an Oscar-winning actress who is deaf. She has been an inspiration all season!

*The Top 6 performed the songs of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber last night. It was a little odd hearing a guy with dreadlocks (Jason) sing "Memory" from the Broadway show Cats. I am predicting that Brooke will go home tonight, especially after having to start her song over again after forgetting the lyrics. I felt really bad for her! It was surprising that Paula Abdul, who is normally the sensitive judge, scolded Brooke for starting over. Simon and Randy were nice about it, saying she did the right thing. Carly finally had a good night, and when Simon told her it was a good performance, she pulled out a t-shirt that said "Simon loves me (this week.)" We'll find out tonight who is going home on the results show at 9:00 on Fox.

*Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi was formally charged with D.U.I. but avoided a misdemeanor child endangerment count stemming from his arrest last month. If convicted, Richie faces a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail. His next court date is set for May 7.

*Newlyweds Beyonce and Jay-Z still haven't publicly confirmed their April 4 wedding, but the paperwork is doing the talking. The couple filed a signed marriage license in Scarsdale, New York.

*Miley Cyrus is only 15 years old but she's already writing her memoirs! Miley signed a 7-figure book deal.

*Actor Gerard Butler (my "flavor of the week") briefly dated Cameron Diaz, but he is now reportedly hooking up with Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Cheryl Burke. The two live in the same apartment complex. It's not fair--I don't have hot neighbors like that!

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - THURSDAY, APRIL 17


*Kristy Lee Cook was voted off American Idol last night. She should do just fine post-Idol--Randy Jackson already said that he is interested in signing her to a record deal.

*Leona Lewis' album, Spirit became the first album by a British female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard album chart.

*Elton John is coming back to Atlantic City on July 19 at Boardwalk Hall. Tickets go on sale Monday morning at 10AM. I saw Elton's concert last time he was in A.C. and it was awesome!

*There is a chance that Jennie Garth will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor in the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off. Producers want Jennie to play a fashion design teacher at Beverly Hills High. Her sitcom deal with CBS fell through, so you never know...

DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - TUESDAY, APRIL 15


*A special guest will be in the audience tonight as the American Idol contestants perform--David Cook's brother, Adam, who is suffering from brain cancer. Adam, who lives in Indiana, was initially told by doctors that his condition was too delicate to fly commercially, so his friends got together and arranged for a medical jet and medical staff so he could go to Hollywood to see his brother perform. Get your tissues ready for tonight because there won't be a dry eye in the house! Mariah Carey is the guest mentor and the contestants will sing Mariah's songs.

*Richie Sambora could be facing legal trouble, including possible jail time. Police have recommended to prosecutors that Richie be charged with D.U.I. and child endangerment stemming from his arrest on March 25.

*Brad Pitt was carded while trying to pick up a 6-pack of beer at a grocery store in Texas. I don't know how guys feel about it, but that's a dream for a woman in her 40's!

*New DVDs in stores include Lars & The Real Girl and Juno. I highly recommend Juno--it's one of the best movies I have seen in a long time!

*US Weekly magazine is reporting that Ashlee Simpson is engaged, but her new fiance Pete Wentz shot down the rumors.

*Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is in talks to become the new Austin Powers girl in the upcoming movie. She gets Tom Brady and acting gigs--lucky!

A source said Britney was putting on makeup behind the wheel right before the accident happened.

*Tom Cruise is upset with Victoria Beckham, otherwise known as Posh Spice, for the negative effect she has had on Katie Holmes. Tom is alarmed by Katie's rapid weight loss and thinks Vic's 900-calorie-a-day diet is to blame (hmmm...maybe I'll try that)

*The horror film Prom Night topped the weekend box office

*The funny guy is off Dancing With the Stars. Adam Carolla was voted off last night. Okay, so he wasn't the best dancer, but he was good for comic relief.

*The Top 8 performed last night on American Idol. The judges liked David Archuleta and Jason Castro's performances the most. Tonight, Idol Gives back airs from 7:30-10PM, a charity special featuring appearances from Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, Robin Williams, Fergie, Miley Cyrus and many other big stars. Last year, Idol Gvies back raised $76 million for needy children in the U.S. and Africa and they'll probably raise even more this year. Simon Cowell is a good guy after all--he's donating his paycheck from tonight's show to the cause. The American Idol results show will be on tomorrow night.

*Fergie is once again denying that she's pregnant and to prove it she did a one-handed cartwheel during the taping of her performance on Idol Gives Back. Plus, her tummy is flat!!

*Bravo's hit reality show Project Runway is moving to the Lifetime Network next season

*After 6 years of dating, Beyonce and Jay-Z got married Friday in New York City with close friends and family in attendance. You may be wondering why they picked Friday to get married. Well, the date was 4/4 and 4 is Beyonce and Jay-Z's lucky number. They even have matching Roman numeral "IV" tattoos on their ring fingers. The honeymoon will have to wait because Jay-Z is touring with Mary J. Blige and he already went back to work Saturday night.
