What folks are Googlin' this morning
"dancing with the stars elimination april 27" - I guess it's no surprise that the man with the lowest score on Monday night was sent packing. Jake Pavelka's run on Dancing With the Stars came to an end last night, and he's now a man without a reality series. Pavelka has appeared in three reality series for ABC: The Bachelorette, The Bachelor and now Dancing With the Stars. You've got to wonder if there will be a fourth -- let's say - a wedding, maybe? "I couldn't imagine doing the wedding without ABC there," he said after the show (translation: I can't imagine PAYING for my own wedding!). Surprise this week: Pam Anderson was NOT in the bottom two! That spot was filled by Niecy Nash. Melissa Etheridge performed.

For woman: In what area can men use a refresher course in chivalry?
Did you hear about the Boston man that was beat up by two women because he didn't hold open the elevator door for them? By the time police arrived Saturday night, Mohammed Warsame was drenched with noodles, and bruised from being kicked, punched and hit with their bags. The women were arrested. Not that women should resort to violence, but do you get angry when a man doesn't open a door for you? What did real men used to do that they're not doing now?
