Rihanna performed at the Echo Show in Berlin yesterday, and the scantily clad R&B princess belted it out onstage with a team of robots. With the exception of the
toilet paper fabric stuck to her tush, there's nothing too crazy going on with this outfit. I'm shocked! I would have at least expected Rihanna to rock some sort of fierce fembot getup to give her backup dancers a run for their money!

Kate Gosselin may be turning up the heat on the dance floor for
Dancing With The Stars, but hold on to your drawers! Her ex-hubby Jon may soon be burning up the pages of
Playgirl Magazine.
We spoke to
Playgirl this morning, and it sounds like Mr. Gosselin has been given a very unique offer, but his size (or lack thereof) may get in the way. The mag's rep Daniel Nardicio tells X17online:
"Jon's a novelty. He's not really hot. Levi [Johnston] is really hot. Jon has a reputation of having a small penis and again, he's not that hot. We've offered him $20,000. He told us that's not much money. We told him $20,000 is $20,000. You could go to NYC for a year with that kind of money!"
Nardicio says Jon told the mag he'd think about it, and he tells X17online exclusively that
they've extended an even better offer to the reality star:
"For every inch more than four, we'll give him an additional $10,000."
But given those size rumors, Jon may be better off just grabbing the $20k and striking a pose!
Speaking of getting naked, Levi Johnston continues to reap the benefits of posing for
Playgirl. We're told Mr. Johnson is signing copies of his semi-naked issue at Borders Book store in Anchorage, Alaska today. And wouldn't you know it, the magazine signing is being captured for
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List.
Playgirl tells us that Levi's issue is completely sold out...a success that the mag hasn't seen in 25 years. When you add the money Levi was given up front for the shoot, plus residuals on both the magazine and Pay-Per-View sales, he's expected to make over 6-figures.
Put down those twinkies, Jon. Time to start hittin' the gym!

No, we're not referring to his beefy biceps, we're talking about the meaty man escorting him around Beverly Hills yesterday. Aww, and they even wore matching outfits!

Fresh off her tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Simpson can at least be thankful that Billy Corgan has nothing but sweet nothings to say about her and their short fling.
The lovebirds, with a twenty year age gap, have called it quits, but The Smashing Pumpkins lead singer has opened up to
Rolling Stone Magazine about why he fell so hard for Jess.
“If I go, ‘Oh, we’re just friends,’ then it’s like, ‘Did they go out, did he dump her or she dump him, what happened?’ It has nothing to do with any of that. Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that. My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It’s really simple.â€Â
What?!? No comparison of Jessica Simpson to crack cocaine? Billy, you sound like one classy guy who enjoyed Jess for who she is. You might want to take notes Mr. Mayer.

Mischa Barton was snapped waving to cameras in Milan yesterday, and it looks like a little jewelry shopping put the actress in a wonderful mood. Don't have TOO much fun over there Misch - we're kinda going through withdrawals back here in Hollywood!

Yesterday afternoon a slightly more dressed up Jennifer Garner picked up Violet at school, and afterwards she took both V and baby Seraphina to a nearby park. Though Jen looked a bit exhausted when she grabbed Violet in Santa Monica, her face lit up when she played with her daughters at the park a few minutes later. Aww, these two def brighten our day too!

After the suprisingly sexy cast of contenders for
Dancing With the Stars was announced earlier this week, ABC has released the photos of the new
Stars all suited up in sequins!
While Pamela and Shannen look sexy and slinky in their ballroom minis, Jake and Kate look super stiff! Let's hope they loosen up before the big premiere on March 22nd.

We also caught a glimpse of Pussycat Doll Nicole Sherzinger rehearsing with partner Derek Hough in LA. Does Nicole have an unfair advantage because she was a professional dancer? Or is ballroom so out of the realm of burlesque it doesn't matter?

Lindsay Lohan has landed in Paris (she arrived at the Gare Du Nord Station yesterday) and the starlet is already taking the city by storm. With her pal Markus Molinari by her side, the starlet is in town for uh, work related stuff. You know, because the only reason she's allowed to leave the states is for business...
But what is she doing over there? Besides looking fabulous and scoring free swag? Eh, I guess that is her job description these days...
