Backstage gossip from Dancing With The Stars.

Publication: Us Weekly
Date: 2 May 2011

Last season, there were a boatload of Dancing With The Stars stories on the covers of the gossip rags, but it's been a little quiet this season so far. Here are the headlines from the story in Us Weekly.

• DWTS Meltdowns! Hookups! Feuds!
• Kendra - backstage tears
• Kirstie - control freak
• Chelsea - Dating LC's ex

The main characters that have been the targets of gossip have been Kendra and Kirstie, but a new name gets added this week, DisneyTeen™ Chelsea Kane. For people over the age of 25 (and for those under that age who actually have lives), LC is short for Lauren Conrad, a reality TV star.

You're welcome.

Demi Lovato: My time to heal.

DisneyTeen™ Demo Lovato looked like she could be heading to gossip hell as of last November, but after three stories before Thanksgiving, there has been nothing until now and it's Easter week. Even better for her, the story is in People, a magazine that only very rarely trashes celebrities in crisis, especially if they are showing a good faith effort to get their lives in order.

Ms. Lovato now says she has bipolar disorder, following Catherine Zeta-Jones out of the mental illness closet.

Best wishes to the young lady, her family and friends.
