In the final minutes of Tuesday night's "Dancing With the Stars" elimination show, it was George Clooney's ex-girlfriend who was given the boot.

Elisabetta Canalis and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated after landing in the bottom three alongside David Arquette and Kym Johnson and Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer.

The Italian actress and host seemed a bit jarred when it was revealed she was the contestant leaving in week two, considering that she and her partner had impressed the judges with a big improvement from last week.

"I'm not going to say much. I'm just going to say this: It's not great, but it was better than last week," head judge Len Goodman said before scoring her Monday. Tonioli disagreed, saying, "The gears were grinding, the engines were hot. The pistols were pumping. Keep working."

Canalis ultimately scored 21 out of 30, which placed her right in the middle of the pack and above Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Arquette and Johnson, Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya and Bono and Schwimmer.

Canalis, who looked to be holding back tears, expressed how much she enjoyed her short time on the show: "I want to thank everybody, because they made me come here! Thanks to the public and everybody who voted for us. It was a great experience."

Chmerkovskiy, a newcomer who also is Maksim's younger brother, said he was very proud of his celeb partner. "I wish I did better for you. But I'm very lucky to be here," he said.

Mac Miller sure is impatient. Yes, he has already secured a November 8 release date for his independent debut album, Blue Slide Park, but that isn't enough for the Pittsburgh MC. With the album now available for pre-order on iTunes and other digital outlets, the "Donald Trump" rapper has devised a three-tier plan that will give his fans the ability to push up the 16-track LP's release.

"I want to get my fans my album. We have a date, November 8. Blue Slide Park, it's coming out, but I would love it if we could get it out earlier," Mac told MTV News. "So what we're doing is, we're gonna go hard with the pre-orders."

The expectations are high, but if Mac can get 25,000 pre-orders of BSP he will release the album's title track to hold fans over.

If Miller surpasses 50,000 pre-orders before the album drops, he will donate $50,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Reaching 25,000 or 50,000 won't be easy, but should Blue Slide Park hit 100,000 pre-orders before November 8, Mac promises to release the album immediately. If they got 100,000 by the end of this interview, the album would come out right after, Miller promised.

"I just want people to get the album as quickly as possible," he said.

"So if they go hard and go crazy — 'cause you never know what my fans will do, they're so unpredictable — if they go hard and get 100,000 and make history, I'm just gonna give them the album right away because that's what they deserve and that's what they would deserve anyway."

Miller is currently on tour in support of the album, which he has dedicated to his favorite childhood park, known most for its blue slides. "Blue Slide Park is a park in Pittsburgh we grew up at," Miller told MTV News about the album title's significance. "Being 2, going down slides and then being 6, playing Little League and hanging out there, then being older, coming back there to drink and smoke and party, running from the cops. And now going back there just to chill out and drink a beer."

Nancy Grace's Wardrobe Malfunction on Dancing With the Stars

Nancy Grace's Wardrobe Malfunction on Dancing With the Stars

In the second week of Dancing with the Stars some pairs redeemed themselves, while others fell to the bottom of the leader board. But it was Nancy Grace who garnered the most attention after her unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

During the night of quicksteps and jives, two of the most technically precise dances in the ballroom repertoire, Grace and partner Tristan MacManus served up a decent quickstep that highlighted the HLN host's footwork -- and her eye-popping cleavage! After MacManus dipped her, Grace arose showing more than a relieved smile on her face.

As Grace turned to face the judges, her nipple was peeking out of her costume. Luckily, the mishap was only captured on camera for a split second, as ABC quickly cut to an audience shot while Grace adjusted her low-cut gown. When the camera returned to her, she had buried her face in MacManus' arm.

"On the European version that would be perfectly fine," host Tom Bergeron joked.

The duo's memorable performance earned them a solid score of 21 and helped them to move up the leader board. Chaz Bono, however, did not fare so well.

The transgender son of Cher and Sonny Bono won over judges with his debut dance. But this week, he had a tough time with partner Lacey Schwimmer on the faster-paced routine. He also remarked that he was suffering from aching joints and severe knee and leg pain.

"I could see you in pain," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Bono. "Your charm can only take you so far, but it doesn't cover that fact that you didn't dance quickly and this is a quickstep."

Rob Kardashian had a much better night. After facing elimination -- much to his big sisters' chagrin -- the reality star and partner Cheryl Burke earned a respectable 21 and a compliment from Inaba:

"It's official!" said Inaba. "Rob Kardashian is a better dancer than Kim Kardashian! No offense to Kim!"

At the top of the leader board for the night was engaged talk-show host Ricki Lake and Derek Hough, followed closely by soap actor J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff and reality starlet Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas.

Here's how the dancers finished the night:

Ricky Lake & Derek Hough: 23
J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: 22
Kristin Cavallari & Mark Ballas: 22
Chynna Phillips & Tony Dovolani: 21
Elisabetta Canalis & Val Chmerkovskiy: 21
Nancy Grace & Tristan MacManus: 21
Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke: 21
Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy: 19
Carson Kressley & Anna Trebunskaya: 18
David Arquette & Kym Johnson: 18
Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer: 17

Daniel Craig 'Hopes' Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem Join 'Bond 23'

'I'm as excited about this script as I was about the 'Casino Royale' script,' he tells MTV News.

This summer in Montana, while Daniel Craig was promoting "Cowboys & Aliens," the actor steered clear of any casting news relating to "Bond 23," declining to confirm to MTV News long-standing rumors that Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem were getting set to join the action flick.

A few months later, while promoting "The Adventures of Tintin," Craig was in more of a giving mood, letting us know that he's keeping his fingers crossed that Fiennes and Bardem are on set when production on "Bond 23" kicks off in early October.

"I hope so," he said about the two actors. "I hope so."

Bardem confirmed back in February that he was in talks to play a villain in the flick, while rumors have been floating since early in the year that Fiennes was looking to take on an unspecified role. In July, MTV News shot down reports that "Amazing Spider-Man" villain Rhys Ifans had also signed up for "Bond 23," with the actor telling us, "No, I just have a license to kill."

According to Craig, the way "Bond 23" is coming together has him the most excited about the franchise since he took on the iconic spy role years ago.

"We've got a great script this time," he told us. "I'm as excited about this script as I was about the 'Casino Royale' script. I think in Sam [Mendes] we've got the perfect director. The cast is coming together now. I can't wait to get going on it."

Check out everything we've got on "Bond 23."

Mel Gibson Settles With Alexander Dalton, Son of Oksana Grigorieva


Mel Gibson will be paying Oksana Grigorieva's son, Alexander Dalton, $100,000.

With that settlement, the teenager waives his right to sue the troubled actor.

Oksana's lawyers were trying to get Gibson to pay Alexander $500,000 for allegedly terrorizing the boy during the blowout between Oksana and Mel. 

Milking Him

Oksana just keeps milking Mel.

The altercation between the then-lovers in January 2009 sparked allegations of abuse, later discussed (and argued about) on the Mel Gibson tapes.

Oksana also alleged Mel pushed the boy onto a table on a separate occasion.

According to legal documents, Mel agreed in a settlement to pay the boy $100,000, but there is a complete waiver on Alexander's part to sue Gibson.

Justin Timberlake Cast In Casablanca Records Biopic

'Spinning Gold' follows life of label co-founder Neil Bogart.
By Jocelyn Vena


Justin Timberlake

He once played Napster co-founder Sean Parker in "The Social Network," and now he's getting ready to play another real-life entrepreneur. Deadline Hollywood reports that Justin Timberlake will play '70s record producer and Casablanca Records co-founder Neil Bogart in a new biopic.

"Spinning Gold" will take a close look at Bogart's career as a record executive who launched the careers of acts like KISS, Parliament, Donna Summer and the Village People. "This is saga about a young dreamer who started with nothing and came of age in the '60s and '70s, believing anything was possible and every risk was worth taking," said Tim Bogart, Neil's son and the film's writer. He said the film is "literally three decades in the making."

Bogart died of cancer in 1982, at the age of 39. Bogart added, "We needed a young actor who can carry this picture. ... When Justin walked into the room, that was the moment I had been waiting for 29 years. He has the exact same energy as my father, the same glimmer in his eye."

A director has yet to be attached to the project, which is set to shoot in 2012. Album plans are also underway.

Fans hoping Timberlake will head back to the studio to record new music will be sad to see his film roster keeps getting filled with new projects. In November, his sci-fi flick, "In Time," hits theaters.

"To be honest, my plan would have probably been to do another record, probably right about now. I never stop considering myself a musician. To me, it's my bread and butter," he said in a recent interview with ShortList. "And I mean that in a personal way. I don't mean that it finances my 'acting hobbies.' I joke with my friends that I should have a business card saying, 'David Fincher put me in a movie,' because 'Bad Teacher' got a blessing due to 'The Social Network,' and then 'Friends With Benefits' came out of that.

"All the movies I've done were just opportunities that came up, but now that they're all coming out back-to-back, people think, 'Oh, he's trying to make a statement by having an acting career,' " he continued. "But it's not like that for me. I don't ever want to stop doing music."
