[May 12]

Here is some unexpected celebrity health news. UFC fighter Brock Lesnar suffers from a debilitating digestive disease called diverticulitis — which doctors and patients suffering with both report causes extreme stomach pain. Who knew that beating the odds to rise to the top of UFC would be less painful than the battle raging on in his own body? The valiant Brock released a quintessential celebrity athlete statement press statement saying, “I’m not retiring … I believe there’s a solution to every problem, I just gotta find the right solution … I love this sport.”

According to TMZ and other celebrity gossip sites, Brock Lesnar insists his current bout with his debilitating medical symptoms aren’t as serious as last time, “but he couldn’t train for his fight against Junior dos Santos at UFC 131 on June 11. Lesnar was hospitalized back in 2009 due to his medical condition — and had to reschedule his fight against Shane Carwin. Lesnar whooped Carwin’s ass when they fought a few months later. Lesnar is currently being treated at the famous Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.”

DWTS Trivia: Romeo, Romeo – Where for art thou, Romeo? Voted off!

DWTS Trivia!

Voted OFF… Romeo, Romeo – Where for art thou, Romeo?

[May 10]

Dancing With The Stars 2011 was the year one fine young star took to the stage only to have his lack of voter support cause him bittersweet sorrow. Rap musician Romeo, one of the youngest competitors on DWTS to be transformed by the show, is a green celebrity. Pouring his heart into every dance step to act as a role model for other kids growing up in rough times and rougher neighborhoods, the rapper went from gangster to teen gentleman before our eyes. His transformation took him from tough guy to a dashing young gent with what judge Carrie Anne Inaba loved to call “Swagger”. Will young Romeo continue to make dance a part of his music career and perhaps add some live stage appearances someplace like Broadway in New York City in the near future? Fans watching the light from yon window breaking hope Romeo’s appearance on stage will include singing and dancing and hopefully some heartfelt stage and movie musicals now that he’s found the confidence to strive to attain new heights as an entertainer.

But what next for fair Romeo, now that he has been banished to Jimmy Kimmel faster than the fictional Romeo was sent to Verona. Romeo said he had turned down movie roles in the past because he was afraid he could not dance, but that is totally not the case any more, is it?

In everyday life off Dancing With The Stars, who is Romeo?

Bottom line — a guy who seems to be a talented and generally nice but misunderstood kid.
