Their dance is over!

Dancing With the Stars lovebirds Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff have called off their wedding, E! Online's Marc Malkin reports.

"I am confirming that they did indeed break up," Karina's rep said.

The couple, who got engaged this past New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, recently postponed their wedding due to the fact that they have been starring in Broadway's Burn the Floor together -- which supposedly had been taking up all of their wedding planning time.

Weren't we just talking about office romances? And how sticky they can be if they don't work out? Looks like Maks and Karina might need to find some new partners.

Soap Star Michelle Stafford Expecting Through Surrogate

Are surrogates the new celebrity trend? Sarah Jessica Parker, Dance Your Ass Off host Marissa Janet Winokur -- and now soap star Michelle Stafford is expecting via surrogate.

"After a three-year journey through hell, I'm elated, ecstatic and feel ultimately lucky to be able to announce I'm expecting my own child via surrogate in December," the Young and the Restless actress told People.com in a statement.

Michelle, 43, is single, and has tried a variety of different options to have a baby. After attempting artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and looking into adoption, the actress went the surrogate route. "I never wavered in my desire to be a mother," she says. "But I did waiver on aspects of the process. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."

A baby girl is on the way for Michelle -- and she's still looking for a guy to make her family complete. 

"This entire process has been very, very difficult to do on my own," she says, "and has made me realize the importance and reason for a partner."

"Dating men and telling them I'm expecting in December is a little different," she adds. "I know I just need to find someone who wants the same things as I do." 

What do you think of Michelle's decision to take mommy matter into her own hands? Should a woman who wants a baby have to wait for Mr. Right to come along?

There is love running through the veins of the cast of True Blood!

Hot on the heels of the news that TB stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are engaged, PerezHilton.com is reporting that Evan Rachel Wood and Alexander Skarsgard are hooking up.

A source on the set of Alex's new movie, Straw Dogs, says that Evan flew to Shreveport, La (where the movie is filming) to hang with her beau. Rumor has it they have been hooking up all along!

Let's hope these two get as lucky as Anna and Stephen or else is real blood could be drawn. It's such a sticky situation when you get romantic with a coworker and it doesn't work out. Ever been down that road? Do tell.

See more couples who hooked up on set!

Secrets from Sex and the City Sequel!

What's better than a bunch of sex secrets?

London's Mirror reportedly got their hands on a page of the script from Sex and the City 2 -- and it looks like Kim Cattrall's cancer-surviving Samantha is fighting a new battle this time around.

And this battle is called menopause!

"I'm going to need you to go on a testosterone run," Samantha, with a bottle of hormone pills on her desk, tells assistant Meghan, according to the paper.

"I'll do it first thing tomorrow," Meghan reportedly replies.

"Said the 24-year-old. I'll call the pharmacy and tell them you are on your way," Samantha steps in.

Looking at Kim (wow!), you would never think she is old enough to be going through her changes -- but, apparently, nature doesn't know that she's still a hottie.

Wanna know another inside tidbit?

Well, Samantha may have broken up with young and devoted Smith Jerrod in the first film, but she's definitely still talking to him -- at least on the phone -- in the follow-up.

Menopause, love, shoes, young boys, Mr. Big -- what more could you ask for in a sequel?

Kourtney Kardashian took her pregnant belly to the beach this Labor Day weekend and spent some time frolicking in the water with boyfriend, Scott Disick.

"Beautiful day at the beach in Miami," she Twittered on Sunday.

All that sun and sand must have got Kourtney's cravings going because she followed up the beach Tweet with details on what she was having for dinner. Check this out:

"Just ordered a waffle with butter and syrup for dinner! With onion rings and thousand island dressing! Does anyone think I'm pregnant?"

Wow. That's some combo. If that's not going to bring on a killer bout of morning sickness, we don't know what will.

What were some of your craziest pregnancy cravings?

Jon Gosselin: "I Was Abused"

In another excerpt from Jon Gosselin's interview on Good Morning America (which airs Tuesday morning), the dad of eight continues to paint a pretty dismal picture of what married life to Kate Gosselin was really like.

"Our relationship will never be fixed," he said. " ... I don't trust her anymore. I was abused ... I was beaten down ... I'm not going back to that life style."

Jon says the fact that the couple dove into marriage and kids at such a young age played a part in their impending doom.

"I got married at 22. I had twins at 23. I had sextuplets at 27. Bye-bye, twenties," Jon told ABC News' Chris Cuomo. "And then raising all those kids until you're 30 and, you know, you don't even think about what's going on around you. You just do what you got to do to survive."

After taking years and years of "abuse" from Kate, Jon says it got to a point where he just couldn't take her controlling ways anymore.

"In 10 years, I've never gone out ... When she said, 'I don't want you going out,' I ... I used to say, 'OK, I'm not going to go out.' I was very passive. This is the first time I said, 'You know what? I want to see my friends. I'm going out,'" he explained. "That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate ... I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision ... I was beaten down for so long, I couldn't even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what's she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know."

Since splitting from his wife of ten years, Jon is more his old self than ever.

"My mom and my brothers, they say to me, 'It's so good to have the real Jon back. It's so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were ... before you got married. I've changed for her," he admitted. "Because I loved her ... But don't forget who you are. That's what happened to me."

It's an interesting topic. Should you change for the person you love? Can you? Or will it eventually all turn into resentment like it has for Jon & Kate?

Tila Tequila Allegedly Attacked By Football Star Boyfriend

-Photo by Bauer-Griffin-

A Shot at Love, huh?

Reality star Tila Tequila was hospitalized Sunday morning after an altercation with her NFL boyfriend, Shawne Merriman, E! News is reporting.

Tila Nguyen called for help at 3:45 am Sunday and told cops that her San Diego Chargers boyfriend choked her and kept her from leaving his house. She signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing the linebacker of battery and false imprisonment.

The footballer was taken into custody and was held the in county jail before being released  on $58,000 bail a few hours later.

Meanwhile, Shawn is desperately trying to clear his name.

"On Sept. 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint," he says in a statement to to FoxSports.com.

"At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided."

"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles."

"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."

He paints quite the pretty picture of himself, no? Such a gentleman, right? Do you see any truth in that statement whatsoever?

Medical Emergency at the Gosselin Home

Never a dull moment with the Gosselins.

An ambulance was called to Jon & Kate's Pennsylvania home Saturday, after Jon's grandma took a spill, People.com is reporting.

"Just to clear up any faulty reports: my grandmother did in fact fall in my driveway but she'll [be] fine," Jon tweeted Sunday morning. "Thank you for all of the concerned calls."

The incident put a bit of a damper on the day, as Jon had Tweeted on Saturday that it was "family day! Kids got to play with their grandparents, great grandparents...so great to see so many generations together."

Glad to hear Jon's Nana is going to be okay.

It's all drama for the Kardashian girls!

Kim's in limbo with Reggie Bush, Kourtney is preparing for mommyhood, and now Khloe has a new man!

Khloe has been seeing Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom  -- and it looks like love! The couple, who met at a party in Los Angeles, went dancing Thursday night and had tongues wagging with their in-your-face PDA.

"Every time a good song came on, she would pull him up to dance and steal kisses here and there," a spy told UsMagazine.com.

And Khloe's baller is not being quiet about how he feels about the reality star.

"Khloe is smart and beautiful and that is very hard to find," the Laker told the website.

As for her fam, well, they think Lamar's a winner, too.

"He's a great guy!" Kim said.

It's about time Khloe gets some glory.

Is Nick Lachey Reuniting with His Ex?

-Photo by Noel Vasquez/Getty Images-

No, it's not Jessica Simpson.

Hot tub players Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have been spotted making out all over the place lately! Totally not a big deal -- except that they broke up back in June.

Sources say that the former boy-bander and the MTV veejay got cozy in three different cities this past week -- snuggling in Los Angeles, New York and Cincinnati. But an insider told People.com that the couple has not gotten back together -- "but they're hanging out. They'll see what happens. Maybe a reconciliation will happen, but they're not exclusive right now."

Should Nick and Vanessa try again?
