Joanna Krupa
Joanna Krupa came under fire this week after unveiling a provocative new PETA ad — in which she wears only a cross — deemed "totally inappropriate" and exploitative by the Catholic League. The outrage is exactly what the Dancing with the Stars alum expected and wanted, she tells TVGuide.com, because controversy is "the only way" to alert others to a cause. "Sometimes I am ashamed of being a human being because of what we created and how we hurt the defenseless and less fortunate," Krupa says. "That is shocking and despicable to me. All I've done is to raise awareness through a controversial ad that I am truly proud of." See what else Krupa has to say about the criticism, what positive reaction she's received and her plans for future ads.

Dancing With The Stars - Samantha Harris, Tom Bergeron
Donny Osmond may have claimed Dancing with the Stars' Season 9 Mirrorball trophy, but it's not all's well that ends well for the once-robust ABC hit. Though its season finale scored a season-high 19.2 million viewers, it was the show's lowest-watched finale since the first-season coronation of Kelly Monaco, which aired during the slower summer months. Why might audience interest have flagged this season? We have a few ideas.
