Unfortunately, fans were shocked when Maria Menounos got kicked off from Dancing With The Stars 2012 on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 on their Week 9 elimination night or semi-finals, despite leading the scores on Monday and received a perfect score from the judges.
As featured at ABC on Tuesday night, Maria Menounos & Derek Hough were eliminated from the DWTS 2012 semi-finals, with the show now with only 3 dancing pairs left; while William Levy & Cheryl Burke was requested to repeat their performance last time which they did.
On Monday night, Maria & Derek led the scores (59/60) and received a perfect score from the judges in Round 1, while William & Cheryl landed second (58/60) and received a perfect score in Round 2. Katherine Jenkins suffered a back injury due to a complicated dance move.

On Tuesday night’s elimination, Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas were the first ones to be announced as safe despite Katherine’s back spasms the other night. She and Mark jumped around and screamed in the ballroom as the audiences’ votes saved her.
Meanwhile, Maria & Derek landed in the jeopardy after Alannis Morrisette performed her latest single “Guardian” from her upcoming album ‘Havoc and Bright Lights’.
Later, Carrie Underwood sang her latest song “Good Girl”, the first single off her new album “Blown Away”; and William Levy & Cheryl Burke were announced as safe while Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd were announced to be joining Maria & Derek in the jeopardy.
Apparently, Maria Menounos, who also received a perfect score during Week 7 in the episode called ‘Classical Week’ after she dressed up as a vampire and bite Derek‘s neck on the last part, was eliminated and the crowd was seen as surprised after the result was announced.
With Maria Menounos’ elimination, Katherine, Donald and William will advance to the Season 14 of the Dancing With the Stars finale. The top three will perform on Monday, May 21 for the last time and a winner will be crowned on Tuesday, May 22.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista and French businessman billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault can now move out of the courtroom and move on with their lives, albeit separately.
The two, parents to 5-year old Augustin, have finally reached an agreement which will end their child support legal battle that brought to life tales of high life, high fashion and even abortion onto the table.
Evangelista, Pinault and their respective attorneys were all mum about the details of the child support settlement, which they gave to the magistrate.
In all, Pinault’s lawyer David Aronson said, “Everybody is very glad that it’s over”.
The settlement came in the middle of a trial over how much, if anything, Pinault should pay toward the care of his 5-year-old son with Evangelista.
Pinault is the CEO of a company that owns Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and other top-of-the-line fashion brands. He is now married to actress Salma Hayek, with whom he has a 4-year old daughter. He reportedly makes around $4 million a year.
Evangelista, on the other hand, is said to be still able to command $100,000 to walk the fashion runway, but suffered a huge loss in her earning capacity after her deal with L’oreal ended last year.

You snooze, you lose. British-born comedian Russell Brand ought to have known that before filing the divorce papers from music sensation Katy Perry.
Brand was reportedly seething with jealousy after seeing ex-wife Katy Perry in the arms of another man at Coachella last month that he sent her an email admitting he gave up on their 14-month marriage too quickly.
If you will recall, Perry and Brand’s marriage started going sour in large part because of her tour, which she was on for most of their 14 month marriage, that it only took one major fight before they decided to separate and file for divorce in January.
And now, new reports say that Russell is regretting his decision and wants his ex-wife back after seeing her hanging out and getting cozy with Robert Ackroyd from ‘Florence and the Machine’ at Coachella last month.
“He apparently feels he gave up on their relationship too easily,” a source said. “It’s fair to say that Russell only wishes Katy happiness but perhaps he should have realized just how special his wife was when he was married to her rather than five months later.”

]]>Diamond Pet Foods announced on Saturday, May 5, 2012 that their earlier dog food recall has been expanded, where additional brands of dry pet food formulas have been included due to potential Salmonella contamination.
With the pet food recall expansion, Diamond Pet Food now includes Puerto Rico, parts of Canada, and 21 states: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. The FDA warns that some packages of affected food may have been sold to additional states through online vendors.
FDA noted that no dog illnesses have been reported but Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on their official website last Thursday, May 3 that 14 individuals infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Infantis have been reported from 9 US states.

CDC reported that among the nine patients with available information, five of them were hospitalized but no reported casualties, as multiple brands of dry pet food produced by Diamond Pet Foods at a single manufacturing facility in South Carolina have been linked to the said health problem.
Meanwhile, Diamond Pet Foods emphasized in the recent FDA report that have taken corrective actions in the said facility but is still pulling them from store shelves as a precautionary safety measure; and even launched a dedicated website DiamondPetRecall.com.
Apparently, consumers are being advised to visit the said website, where each brand page has the correct and complete list of the production codes affected by the recall, with the additional brands include Country Value, Diamond, Diamond Naturals, Premium Edge, Professional, 4Health, Apex, Taste of the Wild, and Kirkland Signature.
To figure out whether you have a recalled bag of food, check the 12-digit production code on the back of the package. Affected bags have a “2” or a “3” in the 9th digit place, and an “X” in either the 10th or 11th digit place. The FDA’s example: FDE0204R 2X TS. Also check the “Best before” date, which ranges from Dec. 9, 2012, and April 7, 2013, on affected bags of food.
“We have taken corrective actions at our Gaston, S.C., facility and voluntarily expanded the recall out of concern for our customers and their pets,” the Missouri-based company said in a statement.
Diamond Pet Foods invited concerning pet owners to contact them via their toll free hotline at 1-866-918-8756, Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST.
