PHOTOS: “Workhorse” Ricki Lake Continues Dancing Despite Chest Pains
SPOTTED: Ricki Lake took a much-needed break from Dancing with the Stars rehearsals recently to chat with Mario Lopez of Extra at The Grove. Ricki showed up without DWTS partner Derek Hough but was in great spirits showing off her slimmed down body and bruises – Hey, sometimes, you just can’t have one without the other!
What’s the grueling DWTS schedule been like for the 43-year old mother of two? “It’s like giving birth,” she says. Since her interview with Extra, Ricki has been been suffering from sharp chest pains for more than a week caused by an inflamed nerve. It’s so bad that her doctor tells her this kind of situation would require a two-week rest period for a professional athlete.
But that advice won’t stop this determined dancer in chase of the mirrorball trophy. “I’m OK,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter after this week’s competition show. “I’m in pain, but I’m a workhorse.”

Photos: NeNe Leakes Dishes On New Season Of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta
SPOTTED: NeNe Leakes at The Grove in Los Angeles for an interview with Maria Menounos of Extra to promote the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and the paperback release of her memoir, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice.
During the interview, NeNe said, “I don’t know why I put myself out there for everyone to judge and start talking all their trash, but I did, and, it worked.”
The newly-single Leakes told TV Guide about the breakup of her marriage: “Greg and I are separated. He’s moved out.” Leakes continued, “It’s tough because we’ve been together for 15 years and it’s really hard on me because I’ve been with him since I was young and I’ve never really lived on my own. It’s really different for me.” About their current relationship status, she said, “I’m not a dater. When I got married, I took my vows very seriously — I wanted to be married for life. This is probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do. But Greg will be on the show this season. I have an issue with my oldest son, and Greg does come over and help me with that. We are co-parenting, and we do have a child together. We’re just not living together.”
As to what we should expect on the upcoming season of RHOA, Leakes told TV Guide: “Well, you know, I love being an entrepreneur and when I did Celebrity Apprentice with Mr. Trump, he taught us a lot about starting businesses.” Leakes continued, “You’ll see a lot of me doing my business ventures this season. I’m coming out with a wine… I’m actually a restaurateur. I have Famous Famiglia pizzeria that has opened up in the Sacramento airport. I’m also working with my business partner [who may be her new love interest, so tune in to find out!] on opening up the Linnethia Lounge.”

J.R. Martinez: “I’m Cool With Being Different” (PHOTOS)
SPOTTED: J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff of Dancing with the Stars at an interview with Extra at The Grove with Mario Lopez.
J.R. also covers this week’s People mag with the headline, “Triumph After Tragedy.”
The 28 year-old Iraq war hero was involved in a 2003 explosion after his Humvee hit a land mine. He suffered burns covering 40 percent of his body and underwent surgeries and a grueling 34-month treatment. Yet, despite all of his struggles, J.R. tells People, “I’m being blessed in so many ways, and it’s because of the energy I’m putting out in the world.”
The former All My Children star says if it weren’t for the accident, his “life would not be what it is today: full of joy, happiness and positivity.”
“When you show people who you really are and you’re genuine, you don’t have to force positivity. I’m not your typical person walking down the street. I’m cool with being different.”
And those are the reasons why America has fallen in love with J.R.

“We were on iChat and I said, ‘Hey Grandma, what do you think about our names Sexy Dudes?’ and she just wrote LMFAO…I cannot believe you. He [Redfoo] came out of the shower and said ‘look at that, it is magical… Grandma knows best.” And, the rest was history…
