Dancing With the Stars' Mya: What She'd Do With the Disco Ball Trophy
What does one do after spending about 14 weeks working on Dancing With the Stars?
Get some much needed rest.
"I definitely need a break to allow my ankle to heal properly for about a couple of weeks," Mya told me earlier today during a break from rehearsing tonight's finale.
Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin proved last night why they are this season's best dancers. They nabbed two perfect scores for their paso doble and the megamix, and a 27 for their Hairspray freestyle.
And Mya is also fun to talk to—no matter how tired she may be. I'm going to miss waking up to her voice every Tuesday morning. Read on for the last of our exclusive weekly chats.

Modern Family: Is Shakira Getting In On the Act?
Shakira is no actress, but maybe it's time for her to become one.
She and her hips are wanted over at ABC's new hit comedy Modern Family.
"I'm trying to convince her to act," M.F. star and resident MILF Sofia Vergara told me at the American Music Awards. "Hopefully, she'll say yes."
Vergara liked our suggestion that...

With just a couple of days to go until the disco ball trophy is handed out on Dancing With the Stars, we thought we'd check in with some DWTS vets to find out what they think will go down when Mya, Donny and Kelly waltz as if their lives depended on it…
True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
Alexander Skarsgård can't wait to start shooting the next season of True Blood.
"It's been like five or six months since I've seen most of them," Skarsgård, who plays vampire Eric on the hit HBO series, told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I miss the whole cast and crew. It's sort of my family away from my family in Sweden."
In the meantime, there is that other bloodsucking megahit phenomenon sweeping the world universe to keep everyone company. So, will Mr. Skarsgård be checking out New Moon?
"When does it open?" he said, smiling. "I'll get my sleeping bag and wait in line." (P.S.: Maybe Kate Bosworth will join him. The maybe-couple were quite adorable in their comfy coziness at the GQ party).
Now back to vampires, Skarsgård isn't the only one cracking jokes—at least we think he was joking—about camping out to see the return of Robert Pattinson & Co...

Glee Star Grateful for Thanksgiving Parade Ban
Glee's Mark Salling may have wanted to perform in this year's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC, but he's also sorta happy that NBC decided to ban the musical television show from the annual festivities.
"I'm gonna watch it," says Salling, who plays football stud Puck. "I got no hard feelings. But I'll catch it from home in Dallas, Texas, with family, which was allowed to happen by NBC not inviting us. So I am not complaining. Thank you, NBC!"
Lea Michele, who stars on the show as Rachel Berry, also insists she'll tune in...

Dancing Mya's Butt: Best Friends With Len Goodman
Mya definitely wants to make it to next week's Dancing With the Stars finals, but she's also kinda looking forward to the day when it all comes to an end.
"I'm very nervous because if I make it to the finals, we have four dances next week," Mya told me earlier today. "It's going to be another hell week, and our bodies are so broken down."
But not so broken down that it prevented her from coming in first place last night with an 87 out of a possible 90 between three different dances. But the best part has to be that she and her partner, Dmitry Chaplin, have really won over Mr. Grumpy Len Goodman.
Read on to find out what Mya thinks about Len admiring her backside, the possibility of Dmitry going completely shirtless and why she needs to watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Bridget's Shopping Spree for Kendra's Baby
Bridget Marquardt may not be flying to Indianapolis when Kendra Wilkinson gives birth next month, but that doesn't mean she's not thinking about her.
"I bought her so much stuff," Bridget told us at the recent Nu Pop Movement watch launch in L.A. "Tons of stuff. From the stroller to the car seat to toys and clothes and diapers and everything. So I think she has everything she needs from me."
Except a certain holiday outfit…
Glee Star: I'll Still Watch Thanksgiving Day Parade
Just because the Glee cast was ousted from the NBC Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup doesn't mean our favorite high school singing club is holding a grudge.
Glee's main man on campus, Cory Monteith, fully intends on watching the Turkey Day parade. "No sour grapes," Monteith told us at Maxim and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 2 party. "I'm looking forward to the Jay Leno float. That will be really fun to watch."
Monteith, who plays loveable quarterback Finn Hudson on the hit Fox show, says ideas for the much-buzzed-about Madonna episode are flying…

"They hated me," Robin says of her fellow cheftestants. "I think they just wanted to hate me."
