Dancing With the Stars Cast: Revealed! Weak! - Hollywood News Gossips

Revealed during The Bachelor last night, the cast of Dancing With the Stars is a little sub-par. Well, at least in terms of people guaranteed to generate buzz.

Kendra Wilkinson aside, there's not a lot of excitement to be found with this crew. At least for now. Perhaps talent will have to carry the day ... for once.

Come to think of it, maybe the show can recapture past magic. Bristol Palin and the like sort of turned it into unintentional (albeit ratings gold) comedy.

Here's the Dancing With the Stars Spring 2011 cast ...

Petra Nemcova. Supermodel, survivor of 2004 Thailand tsunami.
Chelsea Kane. Disney star. Best known for her role on JONAS.
Kendra Wilkinson. Playbody model, reality star, tabloid staple.
Wendy Williams. Talk show host and media magnate.
Kirstie Alley. Actress. Weight loss spokesperson.
Chris Jericho. WWF star.
Romeo. Formerly Lil' Romeo.
Hines Ward. NFL star.
Sugar Ray Leonard. Former boxing great.
Ralph Macchio. The Karate Kid!
Mike Catherwood. Radio personality.

Back down to earth: Pregnant Natalie Portman dresses for comfort in flat shoes after Oscars win

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Low key: Natalie Portman and her fiancé Benjamin Millepied enjoyed breakfast in LA today following her best actress win at the Oscars

Natalie Portman swapped red carpet glamour for practical maternity wear today following her triumphant night at the Academy Awards.

The 29-year-old, who is pregnant with her first child, kicked off her high heels for comfortable flats as she celebrated her best actress win with a low-key breakfast in Los Angeles.

She was joined by Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied at Square One Dining in Los Angeles.

The star admitted this week that she was looking forward to putting her feet up after the awards season.

'Staying at home with messy hair in sweats... is the biggest luxury of all,' she said.

Last night Portman paid tribute to her fiancé for giving her the 'most important role of her life' during her acceptance speech.

During a tearful moment, the actress paid tribute to her friends, family and co-stars and described her win as 'insane'.

Comfortable: The Black Swan star wore flats and a casual outfit for her post-Oscars outing

Fighting back tears, Portman thanked her parents, Avner and Shelley Hershlag, for 'giving me my life, the opportunity to work from such an early age and showing me how to be a good human being by example'.

She also honoured Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, who she described as a 'fearless leader and visionary', and her friends 'who are everything to me, no matter what's going on in my career'.

Looking lovingly at Millepied, a ballet dancer, she thanked her 'beautiful love' and said he had 'given me the most important role of my life'.

"Mula Sa Puso" Remake Cast revealed! | Lauren Young, Jm de Guzman, Enrique Gil take lead roles

After the overwhelming success of its remake on Mara Clara, ABS-CBN will again bring back to our TV screens another well-loved teleserye hit in the past. The 1997-1999 drama series, Mula sa Puso which brought Claudine Barreto, Rico Yan and Diether Ocampo to superstardom, is now being taped and will be aired on the Kapamilya network soon.

So far the biggest break of her career, young actress Lauren Young will be the new Claudine in this remake and will be playing the role of Via. It will also be a wish-come-true for newcomers JM de Guzman and Enrique Gil because they have been chosen to portray the roles of Gabriel (originally played by Rico Yan) and Michael (Diether Ocampo's role), respectively.

Also part of the cast are veteran actor Gabby Concepcion as Via's father Don Fernando, Eula Valdez as Selina and Dawn Zulueta as Via's Mom, Magdalena.

Mula sa Puso 2011 will be directed by Wenn Deramas who also directed the original series.

Here's the plot of the 1997 Mula Sa Puso courtesy of wikipedia:

Via (Claudine Barretto), the only daughter of Don Fernando (Juan Rodrigo), is raised as his darling princess. On her eighteenth birthday she finds out that her father has promised her (hand in marriage) to her childhood friend Michael (Diether Ocampo), and before the birthday party is over, she gets kidnapped. She is rescued by a good samaritan named Gabriel (Rico Yan), whom she falls in love with. Michael at the latter part of the story became romantically involved with Via's best friend, Trina (Rica Peralejo). As the story unfolds, Via ends up having to decide between the two men in her life, while learning more about her mother Magda (Jaclyn Jose) and fighting off her evil aunt Selina, (Princess Punzalan), who is the sister of Don Fernando who wants to make all of them miserable before Selina's defeat.

In the story, Selina was one of the most influential character, due to her greediness in power and wealth of Don Fernando ( Juan Rodrigo), her brother. She used people in order to manipulate them when a bombing in the departure of Via and her family to start a new life begins, Via lives a new identity but comes back to her family, and they all face Selina one last time in dignity.
