  • Lilit Avagyan Marries Reggie Bush in San Diego

    Professional dancer Lilit Avagyan tied the knot with former New Orleans Saints running back and ex Kim Kardashian boyfriend Reggie Bush Saturday night at the Grand Del Mar hotel in San Diego.

    Notable guests to the nuptials included former New Orleans Saints teammates Pierre Thomas and Lance Moore, with whom Bush won his first Super Bowl, with a 31–17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami in 2010. Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin was also in attendance.

    Moore, who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, took to Twitter and posted, “Even though we all wear different uniforms, we are still brothers!!!”

    Former Saints player Donte Stallworth was on hand with dancing partner Dancing With the Stars star Cheryl Burke. Brody Jenner, Kardashian stepbrother and son of plastic surgery enthusiast Bruce Jenner, also attended the ceremony, which afforded gossip columnists everywhere an easy day.

    Brody, who was noticeable absent from Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Kanye West, is rumored to have been being “catty” by attending the wedding of Kim’s ex. Though another rumor suggests that Jenner didn’t attend Kimye’s wedding because his invitation didn’t include a spot for girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter.

  • Cheryl Burke Condemns Body Bullies Who Attacked Her on Facebook

    Cheryl Burke recently condemned those who posted rude comments on her Facebook page after she shared photos of herself in Cabo San Lucas.

    Burke began sharing photos from her trip on July 6. It didn’t take long for the weight-related comments to start.

    When Burke posted a photo captioned “First dinner in Cabos,” one fan commented “Eat something good. You don’t look like Cheryl to me.”

    When Burke, who is known for interacting with fans on social media, replied “I don’t look like me?” several fans jumped to her rescue, but one qualified her compliment by admonishing Burke not to lose more weight.

    The comments only got worse from there, with some accusing Burke of having plastic surgery on her face and one commenter asking “What the heck happened to your lips???”

    “It’s one thing to see negative comments about yourself in the press, it’s another to be criticized by individual people on your own social media pages,” Burke said. “It’s much more personal. It hurts.”

    “I’ve had some time to think about it all and I’ve found strength in just letting it go. I can’t let myself get hurt by it. I also can’t shut down and not post anything online,” she continued. “There are all different types of people out there who are going to say all kinds of things, online and in real life. The important thing is to know which ones to listen to.”

    It’s not the first time Burke has spoken out about public criticism of her weight. In May she posted a defense of her weight loss on Facebook following an appearance in People’s “Most Talked About Bodies” issue.

    Burke posed in a bikini for the spread, revealing she’d went from 135 pounds to around 120.

    Besides eating smaller portions of healthier food, Burke said morning workouts with friend and neighbor Leah Remini have contributed to her slimmer, more defined figure.

    Burke, 30, was the first female professional dancer to win Dancing with the Stars and the first professional to win two consecutive seasons. She won season two with dance partner Drew Lachey of 98 Degrees and followed up with a season three win when she partnered with retired football player Emmitt Smith.

    Burke has danced every ensuing season of the show. Season 19 is set to premiere on ABC in the fall. Cast members haven’t been officially announced.

  • Cheryl Burke: “DWTS” Star Dating Hockey Player

    Cheryl Burke has long been a favorite on the hit show “Dancing With The Stars”; not only has she led her partners to a win on two different seasons of the show, she’s also fairly adorable. Now, news that she’s got a new man is making the rounds on the interwebs, because he’s a star in his own right.

    Burke is reportedly dating NHL hockey player Joffrey Lupul, whom she met after hosting the 2012 NHL awards in Las Vegas. The pair was spotted earlier this week at a horse racing event, from which Burke tweeted that she was having fun. Though nothing is official, fans are hoping she’s found a nice guy since she’s admittedly not had much luck in the dating scene.

    “My dating record hasn’t been great the past couple of years,” she said. “If I have a chance to go on [‘The Bachelorette’] I will. It would be fun to have a pool of guys around you and getting to know someone,” she continued. “I think if I had people setting me up with different guys I think it would be easier for me to meet someone to date.”
