Green Celebrity Jerry Lewis retiring from charity benefit telethon?

[May 17]

Who is Jerry Lewis? After 45 years wonderful years promoting funding medical treatment and finding a cure for sick children he calls “my kids,” Hollywood comedian and big screen actor Jerry Lewis announced May 16th, 2011 that he will finally be retiring from the TV gig that made him famous. As the most well-known television host on TV, the Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon and the name Jerry Lewis have essentially become one in the same. The celebrity senior is not welching out on his commitment to helping kids, though. At 85 years old, the green celebrity issued a statement to the press through the MDA simply calling his retirement “time for an all new Telethon era.”

Huffington Post reported Jerry Lewis statement about what fans can expect for the 2011 telethon gala where he thinks he will be making a final special guest appearance as host:

“As a labor of love, I’ve hosted the annual Telethon since 1966 and I’ll be making my final appearance on the show this year by performing my signature song, `You’ll Never Walk Alone,'” Lewis said of a shortened six-hour primetime broadcast scheduled for Sept. 4.

Hines Ward earns double perfect 10 scored with injured partner Kym Johnson?

[May 16]

Bo Derek perfect 10 he is not, but when it comes to sexy moves on the dance floor Hines Ward is givin’ it all the perfect 10 hip action he’s got. Hines and Kym were excited to get to the semi-finals, but their vigorous pace led to a serious injury in dance practice. Do or die from here on out was his motto until he nearly killed her. Coming out to dance the Argentine Tango, the crowd was on pins and needles. Could Kym Johnson still dance? More importantly could Hines Ward psychologically recover from falling on his dance partner and nearly breaking her neck on Friday the 13th of May in a freak accident?

Host Tom Bergeron was elated to see her on the dance floor and said, “That was a long way from Friday, my friends…”

Len loved it — so did everyone else. He called Kym a floosey and said the dance looked like something from the Karma Sutra.

Bruno loves the dominance theme than emerged in the dance. He said it was like group sex.

Carrie Ann was in tears — so worried about Kym Johnson. He was so pleased with his performance that she brought Hines to tears.

The score? A perfect 10 for the pair.

Amazing star celebs, for sure.

Will their Argentine Tango score be enough to get them from the semi-finals to the finals as crowd favorites?

We certainly hop so, as the NFL football player deserves to score a touchdown and maybe even beat Disney Princess Chelsea Kane to take the Mirror Ball Trophy home.

That’s why his SECOND perfect 30 score was such good news, as it nearly guaranteed him a place in the finals.
