George Clooney's ex-girlfriend is officially the second contestant to get the boot from
Dancing With the Stars!
After Elisabetta Canalis and partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, scored a 21 out of 30 points for their routine Monday night, they were placed in the bottom three with Nancy Grace, and Chaz Bono.
Canalis expressed after her elimination:
"For me, it was a gift every day staying here. It was a great adventure. I want to thank everybody because they made me come here. Thanks to the public and to everybody who voted for us. Now I am really nervous, but thank you anyway. It was a great experience."
The Kardashian sisters slammed Canalis last week over Twitter when their little bro Rob made it to the bottom three, while she remained safe after her "getting out of bed" routine.
Kourtney Tweeted, "Shouldn't [Elisabetta] be in the bottom 3, [not Rob]?" while Khloe replied: "Shows are rigged all the time."
Could the Kardashians have influenced the way fans voted this week, or was it really just Elisabetta's time to go?

Can you believe January Jones just
gave birth two weeks ago?!
The
Mad Men star stepped out with her newborn son Xander Dane Jones, though she kept him covered up -- and had someone else help carry the baby -- while leaving a doctor's office and heading over to a friend's house in Santa Monica on Tuesday.
Even in a loose beige top and dark blue jeans, the actress, 33, looks almost as skinny as she did pre-pregnancy. Looks like all those prenatal
yoga classes really paid off!
We know the secret to how she's back to her slim shape, but January is keeping mum about who Xander's dad is --
no name is listed under "father" on the baby's birth certificate.

Is that you, Mary-Kate?
Hilary Duff looked like she could have been one of the Olsen twins with her long wavy blonde locks and '60s-style circlular sunglasses as she left her much beloved pilates class early Tuesday morning.
In fact, she was so excited to keep up with her prenatal pilates routine that she even took to Twitter to rave about her trainer, Viveca Jensen. Hil, 23, rounded out her super comfy look with a gray and white button-down cardigan, red t-shirt, black straight leg jeans and gray Toms shoes.
Even though Hil is really open with her fans, a few of them had some backlash for her after a simple Tweet this morning. Just before class, the former
Lizzie McGuire star wrote, "Just laying in bed with mike&some of the pups.Enjoying how quite it is.Don't think it will last long with this little bambino on the way:)"
But Tweeters jumped on the quite/quiet slip-up. Hil responded, "Ha!and yes I did mean quiet!Sheesh cut some slack you crazy people I just woke up..a prego brain is allowed a few slip ups no??"
Team Hilary!

This Is It director Kenny Ortega has been called as the prosecution's first witness.
Ortega describes seeing Jackson on June 19, 2009, for one of many meetings. The two had been meeting four or five times a week to plan the tour, then Jackson started missing rehearsals. On the 19th, Ortega says:
"My friend [Michael Jackson] wasn't right, he wasn't well. ... He was chilled. He appeared lost ... incoherent. ... something was wrong."
Ortega sent out an e-mail following the meeting. He read from the e-mail:
" ... My concern is, now that we brought the doctor into the fold ... the artist ... appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening ... everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated ... as well as immediate physical nurturing. ... he'd lost more weight ... it would shatter him ... if we pulled the plug. ... he was like a lost boy."
Ortega explains the "doctor" in the e-mail was Dr. Murray, the physician creating Michael's daily schedule. The next day, Ortega met with a "stern" Murray.
"He [Murray] was upset that I didn't allow Michael to rehearse," Ortega said.
"He said I should stop trying to be an amateur psychologist ... to leave Michael's health to him. ... I was shocked."
Keep reading to find out how Ortega learned of Michael's death.
