Sherman Hemsley's Funeral Date Finally Set Months After Death

Almost four months after his death from lung cancer, actor Sherman Hemsley will finally have the funeral service he deserves on Wednesday, November 14. The memorial service is scheduled to take place in El Paso, Texas with the actor's manager, Flora Enchinton, planning the service.

In Hemsley's will drafted six weeks before his death, Enchinton was listed as beneficiary of "The Jeffersons" actor's estate reported to be valued at $50,000. However, Richard Thornton, the man who claimed to be Hemsley's half-brother rose to challenge the validity of the will, which caused the delay of interment service for the actor. 

Thornton was ordered by the judge to take a DNA test to prove his relationship with the deceased actor, but he missed the deadline to submit the results to the court. Earlier this month, the judge in El Paso ruled the will is valid. Mr. Thornton's attorney indicated that he planned to appeal, but no appeal has been made yet according to Enchinton's lawyer, Alexander Neill. 

Hemsley, who served the Air Force before turning to acting, was widely known for his role as George Jefferson on the CBS television series "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons". He passed away on July 24 of lung cancer. The actor was 74. 

Enchinton is now planning a military funeral for Mr. Hemsley at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in El Paso, said attorney Neill.

Kevin Clash Accuser Insists He Didn't Lie and Wants Out of Settlement

The voice of "Sesame Street" famous character Elmo, Kevin Clash, has a new problem on his hands. Just when he thought that he could quietly resume his life once again and go back to work, a new twist happens in his case. 

According to a report from TMZ, Sheldon Stephens, the struggling actor/model who accused the 52-year-old puppeteer of having sex with him while he was underage, insists that he did not lie about his story. He now also wants to undo the settlement deal he signed just a few days ago. 

The 23-year-old Stephens also claims that he did not want to sign the agreement in the first place, but was pressured to do so at that moment. He regrets signing the deal and is now talking to lawyers in Los Angeles who could help him undo his actions. 

In the settlement agreed upon by the two sides earlier, Clash allegedly agreed to pay his accuser $125,000 for him to publicly retract his underage sex claim. Though Stephens signed the agreement, sources revealed to TMZ that he was literally crying throughout the final negotiations with Clash's lawyers and repeatedly said he didn't want to sign. 

With this new turn of events, Stephens is now saying to his lawyers that he is willing to forfeit the $125,000 in order to restore the dignity of his name. Meanwhile, Clash's lawyers said he would have no comment on the settlement story.

Rihanna's 777 Tour Went Chaotic as Journalist Stripped Naked on Plane

Rihanna caused a frustrated journalist to go nude when she recently didn't give any chances for the press to communicate with her. The naked journalist was believed to work at Melbourne's Fox FM in Australia. The crowd cheered while watching the undressed guy running across the cabin. 

The other journalists jetted with Rihanna were also disappointed at the R&B singer. In a video uploaded on YouTube, the journalists shouted the "We Found Love" hitmaker's nickname, RiRi, many times to ask her to come out and see them. They also shouted, "I need a headline," and "Just one quote!" 

Fuse News Reporter Esteban Serano, who watched the chaos, reported that every journalist was ready to take a glimpse of Rihanna on the plane with no success these days. He added, "We were looking for a story but we turned out to be the story." 

Another journalist, Jason Newman, tweeted on Sunday, November 18, "Crowd chanted 'Just one quote!,' 'I need a headline!' and 'Occupy 777' while Aussie journo stripped naked and ran around the plane." Additionally, MTV journalist Mary H.K. Choi cynically tweeted, "The Australian with the harmonica STREAKED the plane as the press corp chanted. #RIHANNAPLANE #WHEREHAVEYOUBEENALLTHISFLIGHT." 

The "Rude Boys" songstress had taken pictures and interacted with the passengers at first. However, she recently stopped seeing them, causing frustration among the crowd. The 24-year-old singer reportedly hid inside a special panic room on the jet plane. 

Rolling Stone writer Jef Rosenthal revealed, "We haven't seen Rihanna offstage since the first day, unless you count her popping up at baggage claim for a few moments on the morning of the second." 

Rihanna started the tour on Wednesday, November 14, accompanied by 150 journalists and a few lucky fans. First, she landed on Mexico City before jetting to Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, and Berlin. On Monday, November 19, she performed in London, while the next day, she will entertain the crowd of New York. 

"I am so excited about the 777 Tour," RiRi uttered via her official site. "We are turning this jumbo jet into our tour bus. We're practically living on this thing for a week: sleeping, partying, all together. Me, my fans, the press... it's going to be a wild ride. I wanted it to be a rock n'roll adventure, and I think when it's over it will be the coolest thing I've ever done. I'm that excited about it."

Rihanna, Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and More Fight Pandora Over 'Internet Radio Fairness Act'

Katy Perry, Rihanna and Maroon 5 are among 125 popular musicians who have signed their names on an open letter to congress directly opposing the "Internet Radio Fairness Act". According to research, the bill, proposed by the popular music-streaming site Pandora Radio, could sharply cut musicians' royalty payments for up to 85 percent .

In the artists-signed letter titled "A Musicians' Perspective On Pandora", musicians such as Billy Joel, Missy Elliott, Ludacris and Pink Floyd criticized Pandora Media Inc. for seeking to cut royalty payments of artists when his or her songs are played over the Internet.

Pandora is currently lobbying U.S. Congress to pass the said bill that hopes to level the playing field when it comes to royalty rates paid to musicians. The bill suggests that online radio services pay studios and artists fees that are comparable to radio and satellite radio providers.

MusicFirst Coalition and SoundExchange are two organizations on the side of the musicians saying that such bill could "slash" musician's royalty payments for up to 85 percent if passed. However, Pandora insists that the current law penalizes new media and that the business model needs to change so that internet radio royalty fees are in line with what cable or satellite radio pays. Pandora gets a huge part of its funding through advertising, but the more listeners Pandora gains, the more money the internet music streaming company must pay for rights to stream such music.

The open letter states, "Why is the company asking Congress once again to step in and gut the royalties that thousands of musicians rely upon? That's not fair and that's not how partners work together." Billboard magazine is set to publish the letter in its entirety this weekend.

After attending a star-studded premiere in Hollywood, "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II" lead cast members jetted off to England to throw another starry special screening event in Robert Pattinson's hometown.

Report: Robert De Niro Feuding With Jay-Z at Leonardo DiCaprio's Bash

Apparently two A-list celebrities were involved in a feud during Leonardo DiCaprio's recent birthday bash at New York's The Darby. NY Post's Page Six shared the words that veteran thesp Robert De Niro and rap mogul Jay-Z "got into a tense beef," in which the senior actor called Beyonce Knowles "disrespectful."

Multiple onlookers revealed to the site that Robert gave Jigga a dressing down at the star-studed party. It was said that the 69-year-old thesp was angry because the Brooklyn rapper refused to return the actor's calls. The "Raging Bull" star reportedly wouldn't back down though Jay had tried to say hello and his wife Beyonce also tried to intervene.

A source told Page Six, "Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back." Another source admitted to have overheard that the beef started when Robert complained to the Hov over a song that the rapper agreed to record for the Tribeca Film Festival. The veteran thesp tried to reach out Jay to discuss the matter, but the rapper reportedly never returned his calls.

Said the source, "Bob wasn't in any mood to make polite conversation," before adding, "He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn't matter who you are, that is just rude." Jay reportedly explained that he's terrible on the phone, but the source said that "De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he's the man, but that he was disrespectful."

Jay's wife Beyonce intervened in the argument but "that didn't calm Bob down." The source added that the feud had become "the talk of the party. Everyone was saying there's only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that's Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he's angry."

Representatives for both Robert and Jay-Z refused to comment on the reported beef. However, a source close to the "Red Lights" actor insisted that what actually happened was just "a low-key private conversation between two people that was apparently overheard. It was not a heated discussion."

Robert and Jay-Z attended Leo's 38th birthday bash over the weekend which was held to raise money for the Red Cross. The party, which reportedly ended at 5 A.M. and cost almost $3 million, was also attended by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Jonah Hill, Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo and Emma Watson.

The Voice of Elmo Accuser Is a Troubled Aspiring Model

The man who recently accused Kevin Clash, the voice of "Sesame Street" Elmo, of underage sexual relationship has allegedly been revealed. According to The Smoking Gun, the accuser is Sheldon Stephens, who has had troubled past.

The 24-year-old, who describes himself as an "entrepreneur, student, model, actor" on his Twitter account, has been jailed for various charges since 2009, including reckless driving and passing a bad check. The latter charge was later dismissed after he settled his debt with a Harrisburg business.

The Harrisburg resident was also once arrested at the airport in Pennsylvania after his former boss, Music manager Darian Pollard, claimed Stephens had robbed him at knifepoint of a $250,000 "white gold necklace with diamonds" and a "white gold ring with diamond baguets." The struggling model was later spotted wearing the jewelry in the airport.

According to the criminal complaint, Stephens insisted the jewelry was gift. Beverly Hills Police Department detective told Pennsylvania authorities that they would file the charges in California "for theft and other charges," but research found that the charges were never filed and were dropped in Pennsylvania two weeks after his arrest.

Stephens lives with his 48-year-old mother, Felicia Stephens, who has had her own legal trouble. She was charged in May with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her husband with a pair of scissors. She's also facing felony aggravated assault charge, but is free on bail and due in court on December 19.

Earlier this month, Stephens shocked people with his allegation that puppeteer Kevin Clash engaged in a sex with him when he was still 16 years old. The aspiring model, who once appeared in a 30-second online commercial for a York, Pennsylvania clothing store, later recanted his claim.

"He wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship," he said through his attorney. "He will have no further comment on the matter."

Daniel Craig Obsessed With Sex When He Was Teen

Daniel Craig might be a gentleman on his James Bond movies, but it's quite the opposite when he was young. Instead of having a romantic story about his first love, the "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)" actor opens up to Rolling Stone about his obsession with sex when he was just a teenager.

"You want this nice, lovely image of me having my first kiss with hearts sparkling in the background? All I wanted to do was get in the girl's knickers," he says. "I've been kissing girls, like stolen kisses in playgrounds..., for as long as I can remember. But when puberty hit, my head exploded."

The British actor reprises his role as the world's most famous spy agent, 007, in the latest film of James Bond franchise, "Skyfall". Receiving positive reviews from critics, the movie ruled North American box office and earned $80.6 million from 25 markets on its opening weekend.

Guy Fieri Meets Harsh Backlash Over His New Restaurant

Guy Fieri's new eatery in Times Square in New York namely Guy's American Kitchen & Bar has got a harsh comment from New York Times' critics. Pete Wells, in particular, has given a two-page review full of questions dripping with sarcasm about the confusing description of the foods on the menu and the meal served on the table.

Criticizing what he read on the menu, the critic wrote, "When you saw the burger described as 'Guy's Pat LaFrieda custom blend, all-natural Creekstone Farm Black Angus beef patty, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super-melty-cheese) and a slathering of Donkey Sauce on garlic-buttered brioche,' did your mind touch the void for a minute?"

"Did panic grip your soul as you stared into the whirling hypno wheel of the menu, where adjectives and nouns spin in a crazy vortex?" Pete continued to grill the celebrity chef about what was written on the menu. "And when we hear the words Donkey Sauce, which part of the donkey are we supposed to think about?"

"When you have a second, Mr. Fieri, would you see what happened to the black bean and roasted squash soup we ordered?" he added. "Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?"

Pete didn't stop there as the service in Guy's other restaurants didn't seem to meet his satisfaction either. "If a customer shows up with a reservation at one of your two Tex Wasabi's outlets, and the rest of the party has already been seated, does the host say, 'Why don't you have a look around and see if you can find them?' and point in the general direction of about 200 seats?" he hypothetically pointed out.

Pete ended up giving the place zero stars and poor rating.

Pete is not the only one who criticizes Guy's restaurant. Last October, New York Post's Steve Cuozzo slammed the food served at the eatery by writing, "I wouldn't feed the mess to a cat." Responding to the unfavorable write-up, the chef said on CBS' "Morning Show", "Well, they must not like their cat very much."

Courtney Stodden's Thanksgiving Gig in Gay Club Gets Canceled

Courtney Stodden is no longer scheduled to work the pole at the famous Abbey club as initially planned. The internet meme, who rose to fame for marrying much-older guy Doug Hutchison when she was just 16, was supposed to dance and sing live at the famous gay bar in West Hollywood on Thanksgiving Eve, November 21.

Courtney's mother Krista Keller tells E! News, "It was too much for the Abbey to handle, too much press and controversy. Courtney's not disappointed. She rolls with the punches." Her rep, meanwhile, blames SBE which owns the club for the cancellation, "The reasons for the cancellation provided by SBE are a mystery to us and based on fear, in our opinion."

"It is most unfortunate that a venue such as the SBE-controlled Abbey needs to approve and censor performers that audiences want to see, and would not be able to control the crowds and paparazzi anxious to see Courtney's show," the representative additionally states.

"Courtney Stodden has a huge gay fan base and truly loves and adores everyone in the community," the spokesperson adds. "At this time, Courtney is heartbroken and we are currently seeking alternate opportunities for Courtney to make her debut club performance in West Hollywood."

Courtney, now 18, was supposed to debut her single "Reality" during the gig. "I'm super excited, it's going to be such a fun night!" she previously gushed. "You can expect to see a whole lot of sexy- me singing live and super-hot backup dancers!" She went on, "I love, adore and respect the gay community so much and can�t wait to meet everyone."

1D opened the show with a performance of "What Makes You Beautiful" from their debut LP "Up All Night", which was then followed by their upbeat hit "Live While We're Young" and the Ed Sheeran-penned ballad "Little Things". The two songs are from the fivesome's sophomore release "Take Me Home" which was also officially launched that day.

The teen sensations did not forget to thank their fans for showing their support and showing up that day despite all the troubles New York City has faced with the recent Hurricane Sandy devastation.

'DWTS: All-Stars' Sends Home Kirstie Alley and Gilles Marini in Double Elimination

After a week without elimination, "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" bid farewell to two celebrities at a time on Tuesday, November 13's results show. Kirstie Alley, who was at the bottom of scoreboard with a total of 79 points, was the first to be sent packing.

Calling it an honor to be asked back to the show, the actress who opened the results show with her rendition of "Locomotion" said, "The second time around was very special to me... I learned more about dancing, believe it or not." He went on crediting her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, "I wanted to thank Maks because he's so patient with me."

Getting the bad news later that night was Gilles Marini. His elimination was quite shocking since he was one of the best dancers in the competition and got rave reviews for his last two dances on Monday night. While the crowd seemingly disagreed with the result, the "Brothers & Sisters" alum still showed a positive attitude.

"In the end, it's just an incredible experience," he said. "I tried my very best. Peta [Murgatroyd, pro-dancer partner] was an angel out there... And I want to thank my wife. Without her, I'm really nothing."

In addition to Kirstie's musical performance, the audience was catered by Ne-Yo who sang his new song "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)".

Next week, Melissa Rycroft, Shawn Johnson, Kelly Monaco, Apolo Anton Ohno and Emmitt Smith will return to the ballroom with their respective partners. They will perform the dances picked by other contestants.

Andrew Garfield Talks Costume Change and Exploring Peter Parker in 'Amazing Spider-Man 2'

Andrew Garfield has kindly shared some tidbits from his anticipated film "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". The 29-year-old actor dropped some hints about what fans could expect from Peter Parker in the sequel set to arrive in cinemas on May 2, 2014. First things first, the actor confirmed recent rumors that Spidey's suit will change in the next movie.

Explaining the reason behind the redesigned red-and-blue suit, the Los Angeles-born thesp jokingly told E! News, "The suit is undergoing a redesign because I couldn't urinate in it last time. So I'm less nervous 'cause that's gonna be nice."

The real-life boyfriend of Emma Stone went on sharing that he'd like to explore Peter in the sequel but will still focus on his orphan life. "I feel really excited," he gushed. "I feel like we got over a hump with our first one. We had to reinstate the character, and we had to reinvigorate an audience to the character. And I hope to bring more of this theme - the theme of the orphan."

"I wanna keep exploring that theme of being fatherless, being motherless, searching for purpose and finding a purpose within himself, being a self-made man, I guess," the British-American actor opened up at the Worldwide Orphans gala in New York City on Tuesday, November 13.

Andrew elaborated more about Peter's development in "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel, "It is a responsibility to play that role, and I don't take it lightly. I think there's so much to explore with that mythology and within the tension between living a double life, struggling with being good, struggling with choosing good behavior over bad behavior, with the pressures of a city on your shoulders."

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will bring back Andrew and Emma as Peter and his girlfriend Gwen Stacy respectively. Though the blond leading lady will still be featured in the sequel, it has been reported that Peter's other love interest Mary Jane will also make appearance. Shailene Woodley is said to be cast as M.J. Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx reportedly has been tapped to play supervillain Electro.

Justin Bieber Pulled Over by Cops in His Ferrari Amid Breakup Rumor

Teen pop superstar Justin Bieber is used to being chased by a lot of screaming and eager fans, but on Tuesday night, November 13, it was a different group going after the Canadian singer on the streets of West Hollywood. According to reports from TMZ, several police patrol cars pulled over Bieber's white luxurious Ferrari around 6:30 P.M. as he was cruising along the Hollywood area.

The over-the-top lavish sports car was spotted along the highway, apparently getting the attention of an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy who then called back up and hit the strobes and sirens. According to law enforcement sources, the "Baby" hitmaker was issued a traffic ticket, but it was still not clear as to what particular traffic law Bieber broke.

Photos from TMZ of the young pop star's brush with the law enforcers spread online and revealed an obedient and cooperative-looking Bieber as he got off his white Ferrari. Witnesses have also reported that the Biebs was quiet and cooperative all throughout the nerve-wracking scenario. Cops apparently just checked his documentation and driving condition, and searched through the awesome Ferrari ride.

Bieber certainly has a unique way of starting his week and to think that the young star just came off a surreal weekend: First, hanging out with sexy supermodels at the recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and then suffering a totally unexpected breakup with his girlfriend of two years, Selena Gomez. Fans might be interested to know that Bieber was not alone in the cool ride. A male friend reportedly was on the passenger seat enjoying the joyride with the Biebs.

Keira Knightley: People Are Not Interested in My Small Breasts

Keira Knightley has no problem exposing her breasts because they're small. To Allure, the actress admits, "I don't mind expossing my tits because they're so small... People really aren't that interested!"

The "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" actress, however, has a rule about appearing naked in a film. "I'm quite rigorous about what gets exposed," she says. "No bottom half!" the actress adds. On how much to expose, she shares, "I think it's much easier as you get older. You can say, 'No.' 'Yes.' 'No.' "

Proving that she doesn't mind flaunting her breasts, Keira poses topless for the magazine's December issue. Taken by photographer Mario Testino at the Dorchester hotel in London, one of the pictures features her donning a glistened and unbuttoned black bolero by Chanel. In another photograph, the "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" actress strips off the bolero and covers her breasts with her hand while holding a glass of water.

For the photo shoot, hairstylist Christiaan arranges Keira's locks into a wavy do. He is inspired by pictures of Loulou de la Falaise, one of Yves Laurent's muses in the 70s. He explains, "We wanted it to look sexy and flexible... like it was destroyed after a wild night, but not too, too wild."

In an interview with Allure, the British actress denies rumor that she suffers from anorexia. "I knew I wasn't anorexic. But maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right." She adds, "When you're going through a period where you're really getting a lot of criticism, you go, Maybe all this is right! You just kind of want to hide it all."

The Anna Karenina depicter once joked about her small size of breasts. She opened up, "They [movie marketing executives] always pencil in my boobs. I was only angry when they were really droopy."

"For 'King Arthur', for a poster, they gave me these really strange droopy tits," the "Pride and Prejudice" actress went on. "I thought, 'Well, if you're going to make me fantasy breasts, at least make perky breasts.' "

Rihanna's Wax Figures Unveiled in Two Madame Tussauds Museums

Rihanna now has wax twins. The "Only Girl (In the World)" singer has each of her wax figures displayed at Madame Tussauds at the Venetian in Las Vegas and in Hollywood, CA. The wax museum debuted the figures on Tuesday, November 13.

RiRi's doppelganger in Las Vegas dons a one-legged semi-sheer white leotard and white heeled boots. The figure sports short red hair and holds a microphone.

The other figure, which was unveiled in Hollywood, imitates Rihanna with long and red hair. She wears a colorful and bedazzled bikini paired with three-colored boots. Also holding a microphone, RiRi looks like dancing in this depiction with her hands up in the air.

This is not the first time Madame Tussauds museum displays more than one figure of an artist. The wax museum has made six wax figures of Michael Jackson in total.

Rihanna has been busy preparing to launch her 7th album, "Unapologetic", which will be unleashed on November 19 under Jef Dam Recordings. Her current hit "Diamonds" is among the songs featured in the upcoming album. She will also start Diamonds World Tour in March 2013.

The "We Found Love" singer once told a U.S. radio in September about the album, "It's laid-back but it's hopeful. It's a record that... gives me such a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are very hopeful and positive, but it's about love and... a little different to what people would expect, I think." The 24-year-old singer went on, "I'm excited about that. I'm excited to surprise them sonically."

PETA Slams 'Breaking Dawn Part II' Organizers Over Caged Wolves at Premiere After-Party

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is not impressed by the presence of caged wolves at the after-party of "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II". "Didn't it dawn on the 'Twilight' event organizers that real wolves do not belong at a party with blaring music and flashing lights?" the organization criticizes it in a statement to E! News.

"The wolves were provided by Hollywood Animals, a notorious exhibitor that has been cited for numerous violations of the Animal Welfare Act for repeatedly failing to provide the animals it exploits with basic veterinary care and proper shelter, space, food, and water," PETA continues. "We hope the rest of the promotional events surrounding Breaking Dawn celebrates the brilliant work of the cast and crew and shows enough respect for wildlife to leave animals out of it."

The star-studded shindig itself was produced by Chad Hudson Events. In addition to having wolves in cage, it included props and costumes from the vampire movie series such as Bella's wedding dress and pickup truck, Edward's wedding tuxedo and Jacob's motorcycle. In one area, there were wood benches and an arch of flowers and greenery to re-create Bella and Edward's wedding.

Kristen Stewart traded her Zuhair Murad nude strapless gown she wore on the red carpet earlier in the evening with a white t-shirt, a Balenciaga black leather jacket and jeans, while Robert Pattinson ditched his suit for a leather jacket, red shirt, jeans and baseball cap. Other guests spotted at the gathering included Nikki Reed, Taylor Lautner and director Bill Condon.

Tamera Mowry and Adam Housley Welcome First Child

Drama surrounding Ariel Winter's real-life family feud continues to get ugly on both sides as court transcripts from a previous hearing surface. According to Shanelle Gray who becomes Ariel's temporary guardian, their mother Chrisoula Workman was abusive on "Modern Family" set.

A lawyer for Shanelle told guardianship judge that Chris was "a terror on the set of 'Modern Family' and that the producer and others there have expressed grave concern." The crew of the TV series reportedly had to "sneak this child food because the mother deprives the child of food."

The attorney added, "The child [Ariel] is, apparently, struck repeatedly, slapped, hit, pushed, not so as to leave marks. Mother is smart enough not to do that." Chris was accused of sexualizing the 14-year-old star by making her to dress up in revealing clothes that showed off her assets.

In response, Chris warned the judge that Ariel was lying as saying, "She is an actress so I'm sure she can cry at the drop of a hat." Regarding her older daughter, she claimed Shanelle had no credibility because she ran off with a gang member years ago and ended up in a crack house.

The mother stood by her story that Ariel rebelled after she disapproved of Ariel's relationship with older boyfriend who's rumored to be actor Cameron Palatas. According to her, Ariel threatened to bring her down when she confronted the actress about her relationship with the 18-year-old boy.

Elsewhere, a source claiming to have worked on the TV series for a year told TMZ that Chris was so obsessed with Ariel's diet that she only allowed the teen to eat egg whites and raw veggies. The mother allegedly also threw constant criticisms toward her daughter's physical appearance.

For the trio dance, Apolo and Karina were joined by Sasha Farber to perform a jive. Bruno said, "You conquered this brilliantly!" as the judges gave him a total of 29 points.

Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced a Viennese waltz, which Len dubbed her best dance so far. Carrie Ann praised the beautiful musical interpretation, but would "like to see a little bit more difficulty in your next number." The actress got 27 points.

Kirstie and Maksim teamed up with Tristan MacManus for a winged paso doble. Bruno said, "As a paso doble, it could have been a little more refined," while Carrie Ann noted "it was a little sloppy." The judges gave Kirstie 24 points for her trio dance.

Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy also performed a Viennese waltz for the couple dance. Len said it "flowed nicely," but added, "I thought it was a little bit sharp at times." Bruno and Carrie Ann, meanwhile, had nothing but praises for the performance, which earned 28 points.

Kelly and Val got Louis Van Amstel's help to dance a trio jive. The two male dancers fought over Kelly, who ended up kissing Len, prompting the judge to quip, "I like the end." In a more serious note, he commented, "It was fun, it was fast, it was flamboyant and it was fabulous." They judges gave Kelly 28.5 points.

Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd danced a quickstep to "Danger Zone" from "Top Gun". Bruno said, "That variation in the middle was absolutely fantastic." Carrie Ann also loved it, but pointed out that there were "a few little slips in his feet." The judges gave the actor 29.5 points.

Chelsie Hightower lent a helping hand to the pair for a trio salsa. Bruno praised Gilles for "taking care of the ladies," but noted, "You lost timing a couple of times." Carrie Ann loved that he "took control over the dance floor," while Len credited him for not hiding behind the two women. Gilles got 29 points for this routine.

Another couple, Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke, danced a Viennese waltz. Len said it was "smooth," but "would've liked a little more fluidity in your arms." Carrie, meanwhile, noticed he "slipped a little bit there on that." The judges gave him 28 points.

Kym Johnson stepped out to join the pair for a trio salsa, which earned perfect 30 points. "It was like working two yo-yos at the same time... Knockout," Len gushed. Bruno also praised him, "You do it naturally, and it's great to see."

Dancing a quickstep with her partner Tony Dovolani, Melissa Rycroft got rave reviews. "It was quick. There were a lot of steps...That was the bees-knees!" Len commented, as Carrie Ann exclaimed, "You're on fire!" The TV host earned 30 points.

She also got a perfect score for a trio paso doble, which she performed with Tony and Henry Byalikov. "Jaw-dropping, whip-cracking Queen Bee!" Bruno gushed. Carrie Ann added, "I love seeing you so in control out there. You owned that paso!"
