The new season of Dancing With the Stars has not even started yet and already two contestants are off the show. Singer Jewel and entertainment anchor Nancy O'Dell have both withdrawn from the show. Both of them are suffering from serious injuries that prevent them from being able to dance anymore for the show. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while Nancy O'Dell has a torn meniscus. It has been rumored that Girls Next Door reality star Holly Madison will be taking one of the spots on Dancing With the Stars. Actually, Holly's friend and former roommate, Bridget Marquardt, let it slip that Holly will be doing the show. Marquardt told Fox News during an interview, "I'm so excited for her. She's wanted to do it for so long. It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like 'I don't want you to do that,' and now it's her time, so I'm really happy for her." ABC will officially announce the lineup replacements on the premier show of Dancing With the Stars.

Singer Amy Winehouse has officially been charged with assault. The charge stems from last fall when she allegedly hit a fan at a charity ball. According to Amy's spokesperson, "Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London," upon which she was formally arrested and charged. "She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley ball last year." A dancer is alleging that Winehouse hit her in the eye after asking the singer to take her picture at the ball. Amy is due back in court on March 17.

It appears that Britney Spears is trying to get rid of the drama in her life for good. She has filed restraining orders against her ex-manager Sam Lufti and paparazzi-turned ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. A source close to Britney told TMZ.com that Britney asked her father, who is the conservator of her estate, to protect her from Lufti and Ghalib, because she is afraid of them. She also hopes that both of them will be sent to jail for trying to take over her affairs and her money. Both of the men have been trying to get in touch with Britney even after her father took over as her conservator. The temporary restraining order now restricts Lufti and Ghalib from contacting Britney, her parents or her sons. The hearing is set for February 23. Hopefully this is Britney Spears getting the negative out of her life, and she can make her full comeback to a regular, sane person.

Singer Amy Winehouse got some bad news while she was vacationing in St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Her home in London was robbed. The burglars took guitars and music recording equipment from her house. Her neighbors are the ones that spotted the robbers and called the police, which arrived to find the front door kicked in. No arrests have been made.

Madonna will be taking her sons to New York City to live for right now. A London judge has given temporary permission to Madonna to take her sons, Rocco and David, to live with her in New York. Madonna's lawyers argued that the boys should not be separated from their mother and their sister, Lourdes, who is Madonna's daughter with Carlos Leon. The Evening Standard reports that the boys will most likely be going to school in the U.S. but will also split time with their father, Guy Ritchie, in London. Madonna and her family have lived in London for the past 8 years with Ritchie. This is going to be a big adjustment for the poor boys. Having to go back and forth from New York to London all the time. I really feel sorry for them, because when they live with their mom, she will be off smooching with younger men instead of spending time with them.

What did you dress up as for Halloween this year? Well, if you were Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiancé, you would have paraded around as Brangelina for Halloween. Yep, one celebrity dressed up as another celebrity for Halloween. Hewitt told Entertainment Tonight that her and her fiancé, Ross McCall, were going as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for Halloween this year. The key to their costume? We're just gonna have lots of babies!" Hewitt said. She also added, "And I'm going to look really sultry and really drop-dead gorgeous." So, I just find this rather odd that one celebrity would want to dress up as another one for Halloween. Does anyone else think it's a little strange?

Singer Amy Winehouse was hospitalized once again this past weekend to perform more tests on her lungs and chests. Winehouse was last hospitalized back in June of this year with lung problems, but as pictures show, she has not stopped smoking. These tests were done just as a precaution to check how her lungs and chests were. Winehouse's father has admitted that her lungs are diseased due to smoking cigarettes and cocaine. So, if these were just precautionary tests, why was she admitted into the hospital for an overnight stay? Usually, you have tests done and can go home the same day. I think that there is definitely something seriously wrong with Amy Winehouse's health.

The Bachelorette couple Trista and Ryan may be returning to reality television. The couple, which just announced they will be having another child next year, is considering doing another reality television series. This series would focus on their children and their family life. According to Trista, "It's just a matter of whether it fits." So, they had their wedding taped and shown live on TV, do you think she will have her delivery taped live and shown on TV? I sure hope not!

The world's most famous pregnant 17-year-old, Jamie Lynn Spears, had her baby this past week. Her entire family, along with famous sis Britney Spears was on hand to welcome Maddie Briann into the world. Already the in-laws are laying claim on which of the baby's features look more like Jamie Lynn and which look more like Casey. The new mother and baby were driven home by police escort, but it was Britney who drew the bigger crowd. Britney was only gone from L.A. for a couple days, yet she managed to cause quite a ruckus upon her return when she and her father Jamie Spears were swarmed by paparazzi before jumping into a waiting SUV.

Another new mom who made headlines this week was Jennifer Lopez. Page Six reports that J-Lo was out on a shopping trip and has apparently fallen back into her diva ways. She not only demanded that the store close down so she could shop in private (they didn't), but then she tried on outfit after outfit, leaving a huge mess in the dressing room and not buying anything. Jennifer Aniston is playing a new role these days: most famous groupie. That's right, Jennifer is joining boyfriend, John Mayer for his UK tour. The couple will travel together from gig to gig and check out the sights along the way. Let's just hope that Jennifer doesn't go and mess up this relationship too. We know she must be getting anxious to catch up with ex-hubby *Brad Pitt*'s growing brood ...

It seems like Amy Winehouse just can't catch a break. Her father recently confessed that Amy is suffering from emphysema due to her nasty habit of smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes. It seems rather ironic that her lungs and voice got her to where she is and now they may be the thing to bring it all to a halt.
