A. Carter + Back Taxes = Million Dollar Cry Baby
Aaron Carter's recent elimination from "Dancing with the Stars" cost him a steady paycheck and the timing couldn't be worse -- Uncle Sam says he owes over a million bucks in back taxes.
According to documents filed in Los Angeles yesterday, the alleged former teen heartthrob owes a staggering $1,010,635.08 to the government.
At least now we know why he was crying so much after the show last week.

Marie Goes After Former Manager for $2 Mil
Marie Osmond has countersued her former agent, claiming he's made "extortionist demands" against her and defamed her as well.
TMZ has obtained the legal papers, filed in the arbitration case between Marie and former manager P. Karl Engemann. Marie wants $2 million from Engemann for the damages she claims he caused her.
The legal docs assert that Engemann "tried to extort Osmond to pay more compensation to him...by defaming and disparaging Osmond to third parties."
Osmond claims Engemann derailed her plan for a talk show by bungling the negotiations. She also says he screwed up her negotiations with "Dancing with the Stars" and her Nutrisystems commercials.
In addition to the $2 mil, Marie wants punitive damages.

NFL Legend Lawrence Taylor Arrested
He was one of the fastest linebackers of all time ... but NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Sunday night after cops say he booked it from the scene of an accident.
Taylor, who recently competed on "Dancing with the Stars," was arrested in Dade County, Florida at 9:57 PM for "leaving scene of an accident/property damage."
Taylor was brought to a local police station, where he was booked, smiled for a mug shot, and was eventually released on $500 bond.
According to the booking sheet, Taylor -- who is a spokesman for Nutrisystem -- was listed at 253 pounds.

Joanna Krupa Went 'Wild' with Snoop Dog
Joanna Krupa from "Dancing with the Stars" has accomplished a feat not many women have been able to do: She was featured on a "Girls Gone Wild" video with Snoop Doggy Dog and managed to keep her clothes on the whole time.
TMZ has obtained some footage of Krupa on a "GGW" video she did with Snoop Dogg back in the day called "Doggystyle." On the tape, she's just one of the hot chicks Joe Francis uses to introduce the video.
Unfortunately -- just like that tickle torture vid -- Krupa is covered in more clothes than she is when doin' the jive.

Marie Osmond is 'Shameful' -- Ex Manager Claims
Marie Osmond is an ungrateful celebrity who screwed the man who rebuilt her career -- according to the man who claims he helped rebuild her career.
Karl Engemann -- Marie's long-time manager -- says he resurrected her career, only to be fired and defamed by Donny's little sis.
Marie's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, tells TMZ Marie fired Engemann -- the father of Larry King's wife, Shawn -- "because he acted in an inappropriate, improper manner and breached his fiduciary duty to Marie." Singer also says Engemann defamed Marie, and she'll go after him for "substantial monies" and establish he has no right to more commissions.
Engemann's lawyer, Larry Stein, calls the attacks against his client "scandalous" and "scurrilous."
Marie is now making a bundle -- $125,000 a show in Las Vegas for starters -- and Stein says it's all Engemann's doing.
Attorney Stein, tells TMZ, "Shamefully, Ms. Osmond has fired Mr. Engemann 18 months into a 5 year written contract and seeks to enjoy the fruits of his labors without compensating him for his work."
The matter is currently before a private arbitrator.

Joanna Krupa Tickled Pink in Fetish Video
Joanna Krupa has got one hilarious foot fetish -- or at least she does in this laughable low budget fetish video from back in the day ... complete with more tickle torture than anyone should ever have to endure.
TMZ has learned the Playboy bombshell and "Dancing with the Stars" competitor scored the starring role of "Head Nurse Regina" in the foot fetish/tickle torture film "No Shoes No Mercy" back in 2003 ... probably for some extra cash before her big break.
In the video, Krupa starts off by unleashing her fingers of fury on her female tickle partner ... then gets tied down on the hospital bed for an awkwardly awesome session of her very own.
As for Krupa's tickle partner? That's Sarah Kozer -- a reality TV regular you might recognize as the runner-up from "Joe Millionaire."

Katherine Jackson -- Total Sucker for 'DWTS'
Katherine Jackson made a front row appearance on "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night -- and we're told she had such a great time ... that she's going back for more.
Katherine, Jermaine, and La Toya were invited to attend Tuesday's show for a special tribute to Michael Jackson -- and even though we're told Katherine didn't want to go at first, she loved it so much she requested tickets for Monday.
As for the Jackson family favorites ... it's a three-way tie between Kelly Osbourne, Maya, and Donny Osmond.

Kelly Osbourne Feels the Burn
"Dancing with the Stars" is probably a good workout, but Kelly Osbourne says it wasn't the dancing that gave her a burning sensation -- it was her body spray.
Kelly just tweeted she had to get her "DWTS" costume fixed so it would cover the fresh burns she suffered after using a British line of body fragrances called Impulse Body Spray.
She wrote: "Never use impulse body spray from the UK i sprayed it on myself and now have really bad burns all over my body."
We contacted Impulse's manufacturer Unilever in the US -- which also makes Axe Body Spray -- who said: "We are looking into the incident that Kelly Osbourne reported, and appreciate her feedback and input."

Macy Gray Drops 'Cherry' Bomb on 'Dancing'
Macy Gray made quite an impression on the "Dancing with the Stars" judges last night -- but it had more to do with her breaking out the phrase "busted my cherry" on live television than her Viennese Waltz.
It's clear the judges will always remember Macy's first time.

'Dancing' with Recycled Dresses
New season, new contestants, same old outfit.
Swimmer Natalie Coughlin was given the same frilly blue dress for her web promo that gymnast Shawn Johnson wore on the show last year -- giving the lovely ladies something else in common other than the 2008 Olympics.
The dress could turn out to be good or bad luck: Johnson won "Dancing" last year ... but she also gained an alleged stalker.
