This one was predictable: Kate Gosselin’s decision to join the cast of “Dancing With the Stars” has reportedly made her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, very unhappy. According to Us Weekly, he thinks he should be able to see the kids more than his current visitation because his ex-wife will be travelling to Los Angeles where “Dancing With the Stars” is taped.

“Jon’s angry because doing ‘Dancing With the Stars’ will keep her away from the kids for days, and she still won’t let him have any extra custody,” a source close to Jon Gosselin told Us Weekly. “Nannies will watch them instead of Jon.”

(CNN) — Donny Osmond’s family dinner table may have a unique centerpiece this Thanksgiving holiday: a sparkly, much-perspired-over mirror ball trophy.

Osmond was named champion of this season’s edition of “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night, beating out singer Mya, who took second place, and Kelly Osbourne, who finished third.

“You are born to perform,” the judges told Osmond earlier during the two-hour season finale of the hit series.

The entertainer beamed as he held up the trophy with his professional dancing partner Kym Johnson, then ran into the audience and brought his family onto the dance floor to celebrate.

LOS ANGELES – Mya is poised to take the “Dancing With the Stars” title after finishing three points away from perfect during the final night of competition Monday.

She made it clear that she intends to claim the show’s mirrorball trophy.

“I haven’t worked this hard for this long not to win this thing,” she said Monday. “That trophy is mine.”

The singer scored 87 out of 90 points for her three dances with professional partner Dmitry Chaplin. The pair was perfect on their paso doble and bested their fellow finalists with a perfect score during the megamix challenge, which saw them dancing side-by-side with Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne. Mya’s “Hairspray”-themed freestyle dance didn’t dazzle the judges, who gave it 27 out of 30 points.

Down to four couples, “Dancing With The Stars” finds itself with two natural dancers in Joanna Krupa and Mya, one sentimental favorite in Donny Osmond, and one Cinderella story in Kelly Osbourne. Monday night, those four competed for the three spots available in the finals. And, because episodes are still two full hours long with only four couples, each couple would do three individual dances — something that’s never happened in the show’s history.

Murphy — the vivacious judge on Fox TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance” — told CNN’s Larry King that she wants other victims to learn from how she endured, but escaped, domestic violence.

Discovering her talent with dance eventually changed her life and helped her flee the relationship after nine years, she said.

Her ex-husband strongly denied that he ever physically or mentally abused Murphy, whom he married in 1978 soon after they met as teenagers in college.

“I did just tuck it away and just buried it and went on with my life and I thought that, you know, I could leave it there and I wanted to leave it there until my father died a couple years ago,” Murphy said. Video Watch Murphy discuss abuse in her marriage »

“I’m living off of [vitamin drink mix] Emergen-C right now,” Lacey Schwimmer said after Monday night’s performance. “And though I love them, I’m also keeping my distance from Derek [Hough] and Mark [Ballas].”

Hough, who got sick and had to drop out of Monday’s performance with model Joanna Krupa, said he’s not 100 percent recovered but is “feeling and doing a lot better. I was in pretty bad shape last week.”

“Wednesday I got home around 1 a.m. after rehearsing and choreographing [the Michael Jackson tribute]. By 3 a.m., I was sicker than a dog,” Hough told PEOPLE, adding that he had a 105-degree fever.

If last week’s “Dancing With The Stars” was hopelessly slow, stretching 16 performers over four hours, Monday night’s episode was zippy, cramming 14 performers into two hours. Also adding some excitement was director Baz Luhrmann (most significantly of “Strictly Ballroom”), appearing as a guest judge in place of Len Goodman, alongside Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

First up were Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough with the jive. While their performance was solid, Joanna looked like the angles of her limbs weren’t quite what they needed to be. Carrie Ann felt that the dance was a little messy, and Baz wanted more of a connection. There was energy, but not enough precision.

LOS ANGELES – Paula Abdul may make an appearance after all on “So You Think You Can Dance?,” her former boss, ex-“American Idol” producer Nigel Lythgoe, Tweeted on Friday.

“I saw Paula @ the ‘Power of Women’ event yesterday. I asked her to come on SYTYCD again and she said she would. I hope she means it?” Lythgoe, a producer and judge on the show, Tweeted.

Forty years ago, when Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane et al took to the makeshift stage in a cow field in the Catskills, Lee was 14 years old and still living in his native Taiwan.

James Schamus, his long-time producer and screenwriter, was just nine.

Both were a long way from what the movie calls “the center of the universe.”

Perhaps that’s why “Taking Woodstock” shies away from the main stage and the big names.

Instead, it focuses on Elliot Teichberg (Demetri Martin), a young man who quits Greenwich Village to help his parents keep open their failing Bethel motel, El Monaco.

Elliot is resourceful enough to become Bethel’s youngest director of the chamber of commerce, but between his mom’s penny-pinching and his dad’s depression, it looks like El Monaco will be lucky to last through the summer.

Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was surrounded hours before dawn Friday by candles, flowers, posters and balloons. As the sun rose, a man crouched on the sidewalk and painted a portrait of the pop star, who died suddenly on Thursday.

“This is a very sad day here in Hollywood, California,” sobbed Melissa Fazli, a CNN iReporter. “This is very, very sad. I can’t believe it.”

The star emblem had been covered until almost 3 a.m. by a red carpet for the premiere of the Sasha Baron Cohen film “Bruno” at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, but fans started leaving mementos as soon as the carpet was removed. The film’s producers reportedly cut a scene referencing Jackson, at least for the premiere.
