"The babies and mom are happy and healthy and resting at home," says Presley's rep in a statement.

The teleprompter fiasco wasn't the only technical glitch Tuesday night on Dancing with the Stars. During the last commercial break, before Tom Bergeron announced the second couple to land in the bottom two, the dreaded red spotlight came on. Its target: Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough. The hellish spotlight didn't last long. But as the commercials rolled, Elizabeth couldn't stop crying, convinced that the red light was the kiss of death and that the judges' tough remarks about her samba the night before would be sending her home. "I don't want this to be over," she had said just before the show. "I'm dreading the day when I don't get to go to the rehearsal studios every morning to work with Derek. I love everything about this show: the rehearsals, the costumes, the makeup, the performances.... Before this, I was pretty much sitting around the house and thinking that was OK." The red light turned out to have no significance whatsoever, as it was Priscilla Presley who got the bad...

Judge Bruno Tonioli was in rare form Tuesday night. In an interview with TV Guide just moments after the show, he let loose on the male stars of Season 6, calling them "lazy bastards." Apart from R&B star Mario, Tonioli says he was not impressed by the quality of dancing on the season-opener. "I'm so relieved seeing the girls," says Tonioli, "because the boys needed a kick in the ass. Mario was the only one who really sparkled. The others? They were lazy bastards. Sorry, but it's true. They did the dances, but not enough. You're not going to get away with that on Dancing with the Stars. And if you try, we're going to go after you."This isn't the first time, of course, that the first dances of the season have been less than stellar.... The efforts of Master P., Kenny Mayne and Billy Ray Cyrus come to mind. So why is Tonioli so wound up this time? Maybe because now, Dancing is the No. 2 show in the land and we've grown to expect more. Maybe it's because on Tuesday night, the show ...

Lisa Marie Presley is suing U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail over an article that discussed her weight gain and noted that she was "piling on the pounds." Presley was, in fact, pregnant, and she felt that the widely spread report, which she termed a "vicious personal attack," forced her to announce her pregnancy.Presley made her announcement Friday on her MySpace page, on which she also lambasted the media. Lashing out, she wrote, "Once [the media] got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight." Reiterating Presley's discontent — albeit with less vitriolic language — her lawyer told Reuters, "My client is deeply upset and offended by this article, especially as it was widely published just as she and her family were meant to be celebrating her happy news."In addition to her newest baby on the way, Presley also has two teenage children from a previous marriage. — Anna Dimon...
