Belinda Carlisle Is The First To Go On Dancing With The Stars

Belinda Carlise, the first contestant to be eliminated off the new season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, isn't sad she got the boot.

"My spirit isn't crushed. I'm fine. Totally fine," she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The 50-year-old Go-Gos singer and her professional partner, Jonathan Roberts, had a dance-off with fellow low-scoring couple Steve Wozniak and his partner, Karina Smirnoff.

Each earned 17 points out of 30, but viewer votes kept the Apple co-founder Wozniak on the show for another week.

"I don't think I was the worst person on the show," said Carlise, who said she plans to head to India.

But she said when she had to dance the salsa Tuesday, "I totally freaked out. I completely forgot what I was supposed to do. It's a lot of pressure. I don't think I function so good under that kind of pressure."

"Honestly, I don't think I did that great," she added. "I just think some people can handle that kind of pressure ... It's really hard."

Who does she think will win?

Sex and the City movie stud Gilles Marini, she said, "or possibly the girl from the Bachelor, Melissa. She's a really good dancer."

American Idol Has A "Country Night"

The remaining 11 contestants lent their pipes to the twang and pluck of country music Tuesday, usually a theme that leaves at least half of the finalists floundering—though an inevitable few end up transcending genre boundaries and cementing their star quality.

A gracious Randy Travis served as mentor to the aspiring Idols and then they gave it a go, for better or for worse.

Michael Sarver: The brawny 27-year-old appeared to be having a ball and his vocal was perfectly pleasant, although at times he appeared to be chasing after the rapid-fire lyrics of Garth Brooks' "Ain't Going Down," rather than man-handling them in a new and exciting way. Randy dug his song choice, Paula pretended that having fun onstage was enough to win favor, and Simon gave the performance a 1.2 out of 10. Ouch. "If we were all perfect, we wouldn't need this show," Michael offered.

Allison Iraheta: The 16-year-old's vocal was a little less melodious than in the past few weeks, but there's just something so charming when this girl belts out angry tales of burn and betrayal, such as Patty Loveless' "Blame It On Your Heart."

Kris Allen: Simon may hate country but he's a sucker for stripped-down, vulnerable slow songs, à la Jason Castro doing "Hallelujah." Add Kris' naked take on Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" (covered by both Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood in the '90s, before they were mister and missus) to Idol's roster of successful reworkings. "I thought that was terrific," Simon declared, while Paula called it a "real honest, pure and vulnerable performance."

Lil Rounds: Have we found something Lil Rounds can't do? (Or didn't care to do?) The 23-year-old chanteuse, whose vocals are usually top-notch, didn't really connect with Martina McBride's "Independence Day." Her booming voice couldn't help but lift the chorus to great heights, but mostly she seemed uninterested in what she was singing. The judges more or less agreed, and Simon called the performance reminiscent of a wedding singer forced to take requests.

Adam Lambert: Johnny Cash by way of Trent Reznor, the Darkness and your neighborhood snake charmer. This take on "Ring of Fire" gave us chills. Adam hit some amazing high notes and, if you weren't expecting twang and pluck, gave a killer performance. So why didn't the judges—except Randy, who called it young, fresh and hot—get it? "I think there are a lot of people throwing their television sets out the window at this point," Simon said. Oh, pish-posh!

Scott MacIntyre: Back behind the piano, the Josh Grobanesque singer charmed once again with the Martina McBride ballad "Wild Angels." But there was little to distinguish last week's performance from this one. Paula even suggested that Scott's piano was becoming "a bit of a crutch," which prompted a tirade from Simon about how disrespectful she was being. "Elton John always used to sit behind a piano," he pointed out, before agreeing nevertheless that Scott needs to shake things up a bit in terms of song choice.

Alexis Grace: Is it just us, or was there not enough throat in this version of "Jolene"? Brooke White brought just the right amount of husk to the Dolly Parton tune last season, but as pretty as Alexis' pipes are, this performance—especially the beginning—seemed sort of lightweight. The last 20 seconds were better. As Kara DioGuardi noted, she "lost [her] edge a bit," and Simon predicted we'd all forget about the vocal in "10 minutes' time." Hear that, Alexis? You're losing 'em, so bring back the dirt!

Danny Gokey: What was with the white parka? Aside from that, what a singer! The beginning of Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel" was a little soft in Danny's hands, but then he let 'er rip upon reaching the chorus and the last half of the faith-praising tune was heavenly. "When you hit your stride it's like none other," Kara said, referring to that chorus, while Simon, bless his heart, said his only problem was with Danny's wardrobe. "It's like you're going on some sort of polar expedition," he said.

Anoop Desai: It was a world better than "Beat It." Anoop's vocal prowess gratefully returned to center stage tonight on the classic "Always on My Mind." Anoop didn't exactly bring anything new to the tune, but he didn't need to—a great song and his was a really smooth, velvety vocal. "You've just managed to go from zero to hero," praised Simon, who last week was doubting the judges' decision to create a Top 13.

Megan Joy: Patsy Cline's voice was so heartbreakingly tender, it was weird at first hearing the flu-stricken Megan Joy (she has dropped the Corkrey, which she got from her ex-husband) tackle "Walking After Midnight" with her hard-edged grrrl voice. But it worked—a very saucy, bluesy performance. Randy, who thought it was going to be a "train wreck," was "quite impressed."

Matt Giraud: Matt's raspy baritone and piano playing made Underwood's "So Small" so much bigger. He massaged that tune into submission and, despite being the final performer at the end of a long night, really woke up the judges. "You're an artist," Kara said, while Paula called his delivery "unparalleled." It was Randy's favorite performance of the night, and Simon felt that Matt outsang Danny.

Overall, this was a better country night than we expected—although, regardless of the number who rose to the occasion, one still has to go during Wednesday's elimination show.

Natasha Richardson Has "No Chance" According To Family Friend

As Natasha Richardson remained in a New York hospital, her family and friends had all but given up hope that she'll recover from a severe head injury. "There is no chance," a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. "It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead."

Her dire condition – doctors described it to those close to Richardson as "leakage of blood between the brain and skull," the friend says – has the actress's family coming to grips with potentially having to make an unthinkably difficult decision. "It's not official yet," says the friend, "but they basically will detach her."

Richardson, 45, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, suffered a head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner's slope outside Montreal during a trip with at least one of her two sons.

Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized.

On Tuesday, a private jet brought them both to New York, where family and friends gathered for a vigil. Reps for the family have declined to comment on Richardson's medical condition.

John Mayer Tweets About Jen

As he copes with another split from Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer has turned to Twitter to express his thoughts.

"This heart didn't come with instructions," he posted on Monday.

Mayer's heart has been all over the place during his time with Aniston, 40: They broke up two times in 13 months.

In August 2008, they first called it quits. At the time Mayer blabbed about the split to paparazzi outside his NYC gym, stressing that he was the one who broke things off.

Now, in true classy fashion, he's talking again...

"I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right," he said.

They got back together and even attended the Oscars together last month.

"You have to really be with someone that you know who has your back in that situation," he said of attending the show with her.

Alas, they split a short time later.

Real Housewives Of Orange County's Gretchen Is With Slade??

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi, arrived hand-in-hand at L.A.'s Gen Art Fall Fashion show with Slade Smiley.

With seats next to the runway, the two had a perfect view of the show – and also gave onlookers something to see: Once the presentation began, Rossi, in a giant fur coat, started snuggling with her date, and the two spent the entire time whispering and staring at each other.

A few times, Smiley snuck a little kiss on her cheek. The two were equally inseparable at the afterparty downstairs, where Smiley ordered Rossi drinks at the bar and never left her side.

Dancing With The Stars Has Another Injury

The judges raved and ranted alike on Dancing WIth the Stars Monday, though the scores didn't always reflect the caliber of critique, or vice versa.

One couple got it especially hard, albeit in absentia. Steve-O, hospitalized with an injured back and not in-studio tonight, was graded on his not ready for prime-time dress rehearsal—meaning Lacey Schwimmer was the sole recipient of the judges' pummeling.

Holly Madison: Looking like a little platinum-blonde doll bouncing across the floor, the Girls Next Door star managed the footwork of the notoriously difficult quickstep, but more often than not looked as if she was barely keeping up with Dmitry Chaplin. Carrie Ann Inaba observed that Dmitry "was just dragging [Holly] around the floor," while Len Goodman ingeniously noted that Holly's posture was tilted "a bit forward." Score: 18

David Alan Grier: At first, the pencil-mustached comedian looked as if he couldn't decide whether he wanted to play the showman or be a serious dahncer, although he has the potential to be the latter. His footwork was OK, but the salsa requires far more fire and Kym Johnson totally stole the show. "All sizzle and no sausage," Len lamented. Score: 17

Denise Richards: First off, Maksim Chmerkovskiy didn't make her cry this week—already a major improvement. And the quickstep helped mask Denise's biggest issue from week one: stiffness. Still looking a bit terrified from the neck up, the actress made great strides—literally—in her quest to break out of her plasticized shell. "I think there's a good dancer out there, hidden somewhere, and starting to come out," exclaimed a pleased Bruno Tonioli.Score: 21

Belinda Carlisle: The softspoken Go-Go's frontwoman still cuts a striking figure, but her dancing appears clunky and she's in danger of turning into another Marie Osmond (minus the drama). Jonathan Roberts put plenty of tricks into their salsa, but all of them, including the handstand, only furthered the Marie comparison. "I found it a bit lacking in grace," Carrie Ann said.Score: 18

Ty Murray: A tux did Ty's body good. Despite a few steps that were more gallop than trot (and that flubbed high-five), the rodeo cowboy made it a whole new ballgame with tonight's quickstep as his obvious charm made it all the way into his feet. "You showed her a thing or two," teased Bruno, referring to Ty's partner Chelsie Hightower, whose debut run may last longer than we previously thought.Score: 20

Shawn Johnson: We already knew she had strength and flexibility to spare, but now we know Shawn can shimmy across the floor as well as she waltzes. The 17-year-old gymnast, tricked out in a flirty little dress and a gold-medal-caliber spray tan, turned in a sharp little salsa with partner Mark Ballas. Carrie Ann applauded the part where "those hips went bam-bam!"Score: 24

Steve Wozniak: He sure looks like he's having fun, doesn't he? But are the voters? The lumbering billionaire, who's been sporting a removable cast on his foot when not performing live in front of millions, didn't improve much from last week and Karina Smirnoff already looks distracted by her imminent vacation plans.Score: 17

Chuck Wicks: The country singer cut a striking figure in his salsa black, but it was a Julianne Hough-centric performance. That wasn't to be enough for the peeved judges, however, who decried the wasted opportunity for Chuck to showcase his potential. "A mishmash of Latin dances," Carrie Ann called the performance, although, to be fair, it shouldn't really be Chuck's fault if it was.Score: 20

Lawrence Taylor: News flash: Edyta Sliwinska looks great fully dressed. Other than that…the NFL Hall of Famer performed a sprightly, elegant quickstep, although at times he appeared to be concentrating so hard on his footwork he forgot to dance with his whole body and his posture suffered. Carrie Ann, big-time football fan that she is, thought he was "smooth and powerful." Still no Warren/Emmitt/Jason, but no Steve Wozniak, either.Score: 20

Steve-O: Although he wasn't there, we were treated to his dress rehearsal, and we have only one question: Is Lacey trying to kill him? Any of the first 30 seconds of their salsa could have been the one in which the Jackass star got injured, and the dance culminated in him flipping forward and landing smack on his microphone pack-strapped back. Ouch! Lacey probably felt bad enough before hearing what the judges had to say: "He has an appealing streak of madness that is there, but this was like a series of unfortunate events," Bruno said.Score: 14

Lil Kim: Looking like a little Dorothy Dandridge, the rapper brought a real presence to that dance floor. Kim's footwork was excellent and she had no trouble keeping up with Derek Hough, although Len saw "a lot of quantity but not a lot of quality." "She was delicious!" protested an outraged Bruno.Score: 23

Melissa Rycroft: This no longer beaten down Bachelorette may be the one to beat this season. Melissa positively sizzled out there and, despite Tony Dovolani's really ugly brown outfit, theirs was the most captivating salsa of the night. "That was slammin'!" Carrie Ann raved, while Len admitted to gyrating in his seat.Score: 26

Gilles Marini: And we thought it wasn't going to get any better. The French actor may be injured, but you couldn't tell from watching his quickstep, which despite being a prim ballroom number still had the steam of a Latin dance about it. The Clark Kent glasses in the Superman-inspired number only added to the overall hotness.Score: 27

For the record, doctors say that Steve-O hasn't broken anything, and he's still hoping to rejoin the show for tomorrow's elimination. Which, for him, hopefully won't be a goodbye party, as well.
In the vein of American Idol's recent rules switcheroo, DWTS has also added a new twist—the bottom two couples will have one more chance to dance for the judges Tuesday in hopes of boosting their scores.
