One week left until we get to see all of their hard work pay off!
This season's Dancing With the Stars contestants have been working overtime in preparation for the Sept. 19 premiere show, and for some, that means being pushed around -- literally.
Outspoken HLN anchor Nancy Grace recently made a YouTube video (check it out, below) documenting her first days of practice with partner, Tristan MacManus.
Grace said in her video, "I met my partner today, Tristan from Ireland. He has competed all over the world, all the way to the world championship in Latvia. And now he's trying to teach me how to do the cha cha. He's pushing me around the ballroom dance floor like I'm a wheelbarrow."
"There's a new boss in town now," MacManus replied.
We can't wait to see if Grace was a successful student!

Brit's gone British!
Britney Spears is heading to the UK for her Femme Fatale tour, but she announced Tuesday that that's not all she'll be doing there!
Spears revealed via Twitter that she'll be shooting her next music video -- for the single "Criminal" -- in England.
Said the singer, who just appeared on the cover of Glamour UK:
"So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks. Can't wait! I LOVE London, it's like my second home. ... Decided to shoot the 'Criminal' video in the streets of merry old England when I get there"
Just over a week ago, Spears won Best Pop Video at the MTV Video Music Awards for "Till The World Ends," so she'll only have herself to top with this next vid!

Holy pink and peach!
Kirstie Alley has put her Maine estate up for sale for $2.35 million -- which will apparently buy a person a lot of floral patterns!
The home is 3,371 square feet and has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. She bought it in April 2003 for $1.15 mil. The house sits right on the beach, so we're guessing the flowers feel at home in all that nature.
Apparently now that Kirstie did Dancing With The Stars she's trimming down every part of her life! Wonder if it the place comes fully furnished ...

Daughter Billie Beatrice is only 17-months-old, but it's not stopping this preggo from getting her errands done. You go, girl!
Gayheart, expecting her second baby with actor Eric Dane, is due this winter. As for whether she's ready for two kids, the actress tells People:
“I’ve heard that’s very challenging. But I think I’m up for it. Eventually it’s going to be great because they’re going to be very close in age and very close, hopefully.â€

Vogue
Adele is gracing the cover of the latest issue of British Vogue, and she tells the mag she likes her body just the way it is.
Says the soulful singer:
"My life is full of drama and I won't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like. I don't like going to the gym. I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. ... I've seen people where it rules their lives, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don't want that in my life."
Fair enough! The singer also revealed her pre-show ritual, telling the mag that she vomits from nerves before going out of stage! She says:
"I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit. ... Once in Brussels I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot."

Demi Moore hasn't starred in a wide-release movie since 2007's Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner. Now, she appears as the love interest in Bunraku, a graphic action/fantasy flick.
In the movie, Moore plays a femme fatale of sorts, and teams up again with her Indecent Proposal co-star Woody Harrelson. What do you think -- does this movie look equally sexy?
