Dancing with the Stars

It wasn't meant as an insult though -- the photog was just following up on "Dancing" star Priscilla Presley's cosmetic nightmare story! Guess she didn't see the connection.

...and if none of that sounds interesting, check out his older, er, wacked-out sister!

Priscilla, whose face looks ... strange on "Dancing with the Stars," went to Dr. Daniel Serrano around 2003. Serrano was a good-looking doc from Argentina who hooked into Hollywood's social A-list and started giving them what he claimed were miracle injections that worked better than Botox.

In fact, Serrano was injecting industrial, low-grade silicone similar to what's used to lubricate auto parts in Argentina into the faces of these women. Several women, including Shawn King, Larry's wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S. Shawn King has said the injections created a lump in her lip that made it difficult to speak and drink liquids. Serrano charged between $300 and $500 a pop.

But wait, it gets worse. Serrano wasn't even a licensed doc in the U.S. The injections caused lumps, paralysis and holes in the faces of some of the women (and some men) he injected.

Serrano, who was nicknamed Dr. Jiffy Lube, was indicted by the Feds for smuggling drugs, and the conspiracy and use of unapproved drugs. He was convicted, and last week he was released and is currently being investigated by federal immigration officials and could be deported.

BTW, Diane Richie was also indicted as an accomplice. She pled out and was placed on probation.

As for Priscilla -- who had no idea she was being injected with silicone -- we're told she's undergoing corrective work.

Rumors of the Lachey/Burke affair began two years ago when the d-listers were partnered on "Dancing with the Stars" but have recently resurfaced. Cheryl Burke's rep denies the two danced the horizontal mambo.

TMZ tried to get her to open up for Drew Lachey questions outside WeHo hotspot Foxtail, but his "Dancing"/rumored hook-up partner kept her mouth shut. For the record, her rep says it's all BS.

Though LMP won't say how many thetans babies are growing inside her, her mom said the news was "great" when TMZ asked how she felt about having two more grandkids on the way. Her rep refused to confirm anything to us.

The headline isn't huge, but it's kinda interesting. Shannon Elizabeth could turn into Shannon Elizabitch. The makeup department is on rouge alert. They think she's got incredible diva potential and she's already shunned the makeup artist assigned to her. Her rep says that's completely false and that she's been getting along great with the cast and crew.

On the other side of the rhinestone onesie, Marlee Matlin is the crew fav. She even brings her own hair stuff so the makeup people are loving her.

Penn Jillette is all business. He was sitting on stairs on the CBS lot, near the "Idol" stage, holding one phone to his ear, texting with another and there was a third phone next to him that may or may not be his.

Curious how she seems to go out a heck of a lot more when she's got a show to promote, isn't it?

Watch him make funny ... disappear!

The giddy actress excitedly talked about the show and her "Dancing" partner, Derek Hough. She's finally talking about something people are interested in.
