Helio Castroneves Indicated For Taxes

Dancing with the Stars champion, Helio Castroneves, was indicted Thursday in a federal income tax case in Florida. Castroneves is accused by a federal grand jury of siphoning millions of dollars in income to a Panamanian shell company from 1999 to 2004.

The 33-year-old Brazilian-born professional race car driver is expected to appear in a Miami court on Friday to face charges of conspiracy and tax evasion. If convicted of all charges, he faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison.

His sister and business manager Katiucia Castroneves and his attorney, Alan Miller, were also indicted.

Bud Denker, executive vice president of Penske Racing, for which Castroneves races, tells PEOPLE that Castroneves was in Atlanta Thursday preparing for a race on Saturday.

“He’s doing fine,” says Denker. “Now, he’s focusing on getting this thing behind him, getting in the race car and hopefully winning a race.”

Denker had not yet seen the indictment and said he could not comment on the charges.

Kim Kardashian Eliminated on Dancing with the Stars

Kim Kardashian has been knocked out of the competition. Based on the comments we’ve seen on the site, that’s just the result a lot of you were looking for.

I’m a little disappointed by it. For one, Cloris is great, but this really is beyond her capabilities. We all know what we are going to get from her next week.

Kim, on the other hand, really did have potential. But then, there’s the rub. She had potential, but she couldn’t put it all together to deliver the performance I think she was capable of. Because of that, it’s an understandable elimination.

Lance Bass Kissed a Girl and He Liked It

Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer danced The Paso Doble on Dancing with the Stars and ended their performance with a kiss.

I wonder who came up with the idea of kissing… and did Lance mention the word cooties at all during the break?

Britney Spears to Appear on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

I guess there should be a question mark at the end of that sentence, but why else would Britney Spears be doing the tango poolside, while a female friend caught all the action on a high-powered lens and video camera?

Spears escaped to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for a sunshine holiday with a group of friends, including longtime pal George Maloof, who owns the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Scott Storch, is that you? Seriously, it looks like him in that top photo.

Lance Bass on Dancing With The Stars, with Male Partner

Lance Bass is reportedly set to join the cast of Dancing With The Stars and plans to have a male partner.

With legalized same-sex unions already labeled passé, Hollywood discovered its newest craze, boy-on-boy fox-trotting mayhem.

The pop singer is reportedly in talks with network executives to appear on the hit talent contest, where he would use his boyband experience to develop his skills as a ballroom dancer.

Bass isn’t the first ‘N Sync alumni to take a turn on the series - his former bandmate Joey Fatone placed second in the competition just last year in the shows fourth season.

Mario Lopez Lies About Chest Hair

Mario Lopez raised questions this week after he told Star magazine that he doesn’t have to shave his chest.

Don’t you just hate liars!?

Lopez said he never takes the tweezers to the chest hair — because “that’s the Latin Indian blood in me. My Dad has a hairy chest, but I don’t.”

But photos soon surfaced of the former “Dancing With the Stars” alum that showed differently. Dubbed “Chesthairgate” by Defamer, Lopez’s apparent fib has sparked outrage among fans of the actor, says Star magazine. LOL @ “Outrage”, hehe

Maybe all the hairs got rubbed off, like babies heads do.

Karina Smirnoff Nipple Slip Photos

Dancing with the Stars’ Karina Smirnoff and her dance partner/boyfriend Mario Lopez were practicing a few lifts in the ocean, resulting in Mario getting an eye full of nipple — almost taking it out.

The show has produced a few newly joined couples — maybe it’s the romantic dancing, eh? Even though she was recently married, I totally thought Mel B. would hook up with her partner, they seemed so close.

Hollywood Celebrity Virgins

Teen pop sensation THE JONAS BROTHERS wear silver “purity rings” on their ring fingers symbolizing their vows to stay chaste until marriage — and they’re not the only ones! A new abstinence is sweeping Hollywood’s youth, despite what you might read in the tabloids.

“Dancing with the Stars” cutie JULIANNE HOUGH, 19, appeared on a recent cover of CosmoGIRL! declaring her virginity. “I want to be with that special person,” she told the mag. She also doesn’t drink or smoke.

Disney star MILEY CYRUS has also declared her wishes to remain pure, along with “American Idol” JORDIN SPARKS, and believe it or not, Victoria’s Secret model ADRIANA LIMA, who recently posed semi-nude with a palm frond on the cover of GQ magazine. “Sex is just for after marriage,” the gorgeous brunette told the mag. Sorry, guys!

I say… Give Miley time… just give her time.

Are you a celebrity virgin who was left off the list? Just give us a shout!

People’s 100 Most Beautiful

People magazine has issued a “sneak peek” into their 100 Most Beautiful People issue and I have to ask… are they saving the best for last? Rumer Willis?

KATE HUDSON
She’s on the cover of this year’s Most Beautiful issue, but Hudson doesn’t owe her famous sun-kissed looks to thousands of hours logged at a spa. “I don’t even remember the last time I got a manicure,” says the 29-year-old mom to son Ryder, 4. “I even got to the point where I started waxing my own legs because I don’t have the time. I’d rather be home with Ryder sitting there waxing my legs. I haven’t gotten a facial in a million years. I don’t do those kinds of things. And when I do, I always think, ‘I should do this more often.’”

SALMA HAYEK
The new mom is beautiful inside and out, having signed on as ambassador for a Pampers/UNICEF program that provides tetanus shots to babies and mothers in developing countries. (Every pack of diapers with a UNICEF logo sold pays for one shot.) “You give them the vaccine, they don’t die,” says Hayek, 41. “It’s not just about creating a better world for my daughter, Valentina, but also being more passionate about diminishing the suffering of women and children all over the world.”

MARY J. BLIGE
“I’m at my most beautiful when I’m in a good mood, not dealing with any drama, and feeling healthy,” says the singer, 37. But when she wants to get glam in a pinch, Blige has a quick beauty tip. “I put on eyeliner and mascara and some liner on my mouth and some gloss in the middle, and that’s the perfect five-minute face.”

RUMER WILLIS
“I grew up with a mom that most moms don’t look like,” says the 19-year-old star of the summer comedy The House Bunny. But with a little help from mom Demi Moore, and a some experimentation, she’s finding her own way: “There’s a cool Korean spa my mom found in L.A. I go with my best friend, [Gossip Girl's] Jessica Szohr. That and getting my nails done are my biggest indulgences.”

SARAH SILVERMAN
“It sounds corny, but when I’m with my comedian friends, I just feel good. I’m lucky because I feel way more beautiful than I really am,” says the comic, 37. And although she, ahem, “paired up” with Matt Damon, Silverman’s still going strong with boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. “Thank God for Jimmy, because all the things I don’t like about myself are the things that he likes the most. Like my inner-thigh fat. He grabs it and he’s like, ‘I love this!’ ”

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
The 36-year-old actress admits to a new beauty addiction that she picked up on the set of her hit comedy, Samantha Who?. “They airbrush my makeup on,” she says. “Now I don’t want to do anything without that – it’s quick and it’s good. I want to get out of the makeup chair as soon as possible. I’m so low-maintenance.”

EVA LONGORIA & TONY PARKER
They’re one of PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful couples, but the Desperate Housewife – known for her knockout red-carpet appearances – looks the best when she’s low-key, according to her husband. Putting a cute spin on it, the NBA star says, “I like her best in jeans, a T-shirt and Hugs.” Says Longoria Parker, “He means Uggs.”

ISLA FISHER
Her fiery locks aren’t just a signature style – for Fisher, 32, they also provide a convenient excuse! “It was great having red hair as a kid because I had something to blame my temper on,” the Aussie actress says. “Now I go for the same color palette as Conan O’Brien. I did dye it blonde once, but it backfired, as I had nothing to blame my temper on!”

AMANDA BEARD
“To look good in the water, you have to pick the right swimsuit,” advises the gold-medal Olympic swimmer, 26. “I own close to 500.” And that’s not her only tip for a pretty poolside look: “I wear makeup in the water. I always wear a waterproof mascara, Maybelline Volume Express. All my makeup is waterproof, even my concealer.”

THE GOSSIP GIRL CAST
Onscreen, they are gorgeous, scheming, backstabbing high schoolers. Off-screen, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester and Taylor Momsen (clockwise from bottom) are still gorgeous but somewhat kinder to one another. “I assure you,” says Badgley, “we are all fun and charming as hell.”

JULIANNE MOORE
The natural redhead says that when she was younger, she hated her flame-red hair. “Nobody likes being different as a kid. In first grade kids called me Freckleface Strawberry – it was a drink mix. It is also the title of my children’s book,” says Moore, 47. Recently she dyed her hair blonde for the upcoming film Blindness. “It was fun for two days, then I started to hate it. I spent all my life wishing for different color hair, but now I felt too weird to enjoy it. The minute the movie wrapped, I changed it back.”

JASON TAYLOR
If he hasn’t already taken enough ribbing from his Miami Dolphins teammates about his elegant moves on Dancing with the Stars, more is on the way. “This article will be plastered in the locker room,” predicts the 6′6″ Taylor. But the defensive end, 33, is taking the jokes in stride: “In the guy world, it’s a sign of respect. I’d be more worried if they didn’t tease me.”

VANESSA HUDGENS
“I grew up in the business, so I was used to putting on makeup every day,” says the 19-year-old star of the High School Musical movies, who went without makeup for her PEOPLE photo shoot. “Just recently I’ve learned to be okay with myself without wearing makeup. I think it was a special someone telling me that I didn’t need it. I started taking care of my skin and realized I didn’t need as much as I thought I did.”

TAYLOR SWIFT
“I have blonde eyelashes and blonde eyebrows, so my typical insecurity is that my eyes go away when I don’t have makeup on,” says the Grammy-nominated country singer, 19, who also went makeup-free for her PEOPLE shoot. “But it’s important to be comfortable with who you are and go natural once in a while.”

ZOË SALDAÑA
“I feel self-conscious when I have makeup on. It just doesn’t feel like it’s part of me,” says the actress, 29, who didn’t wear any for her PEOPLE shoot. “I feel my most confident when I am at my most natural. However, I do have my days when I really want to do something dramatic, whether it be really dark, dark eyes or dark lipstick. I love red lipstick.”

JESSICA ALBA & CASH WARREN
“[Pregnancy is] the most beautiful thing that can happen to you,” Alba says, admitting that she has a bit of a “glow.” “Everything in my face is puffed up. I have the face of a teenager! I feel like I’m 16 again.” Even Warren says he’s gotten in on the action, admitting, “I don’t know if it’s as much of a pregnancy glow as kind of a barbecue-grease glow. I’ve gained probably about 10 pounds.”

CARRIE UNDERWOOD
The Grammy-winning beauty, 25, admits that she still gets nervous on the red carpet. “I feel more beautiful when I see the pictures after. I’m like, ‘I wish I had felt like I looked like that when I was actually there.’”
