Hough Dances Circles Around TMZ
Derek Hough tried to spin all the "Dancing with the Stars" rumors outside of Hyde last night -- tackling Priscilla Presley's botched cosmetic procedure, Cheryl Burke's alleged affair and his sister Julianne's standing on the show.
...and if none of that sounds interesting, check out his older, er, wacked-out sister!

Priscilla Presley Victim of Phony Cosmetic Doc
TMZ has learned Priscilla Presley is the victim of a botched cosmetic procedure. What's worse -- it was at the hands of a gigolo who was sent to prison for perpetrating an injectable scam on Hollywood's elite.
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.
Drew Lachey: A Spring Affair?
In the face of an alleged affair with Cheryl Burke, Drew Lachey, daughter Isabella, and his Jessica Simpson look-a-like wife went out for a photo op to pick up some cheery decor for their cute as a button daughter's birthday.
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.

Burke Won't Open Her Trap On Drew
Cheryl Burke was tight-lipped about her alleged loose ones last night.
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.

Did Priscilla Presley Screw the Pooch?
Did Priscilla Presley, 62, spill the beans on Lisa Marie's growing belly yesterday -- indirectly confirming she was indeed having Scientolotwins?

Taylor's "Dancing" Partner's Near Nip Slip
Edyta Sliwinska's ta-ta's almost cha-cha'd right out of her top!
The bra-less wonder left rehearsals in Jason Taylor's car -- but there's probably no funny business going on here, because both are legally married to other people they love.
Rep Denies Steamy "Dancing" Affair
Cheryl Burke's rep is denying that her client was involved in an affair with her then "Dancing With the Stars" co-star Drew Lachey. In a statement to TMZ, she claims, "The story that Cheryl is involved with Drew Lachey started 2 years ago when they were partners on Dancing with the Stars, it wasn't true then and it isn't true now."
Rumors of an alleged affair began when married dad Drew Lachey was partnered with Burke during the second season of "DWTS." Star is reporting some salacious details about how the alleged affair was found out by Cheryl's then-boyfriend Matthew Lawrence, kid brother of Joey Lawrence. The two were pretty much caught red-handed - or rather red-mouthed. Whoa!
TMZ Mole is Dancing with the Stars!
So "Dancing with the Stars" is back, and so are those pesky TMZ moles.
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.
And then there's Bruno, more like Brutus -- shirtless, tanning and smoking outside. Our spy says he's "got quite a physique." Hairless -- unclear if he shaves.
Cheryl Burke -- "Dancing" Tool?
"Dancing with the Stars" is back on -- and that means Cheryl Burke is back at Hyde.
Curious how she seems to go out a heck of a lot more when she's got a show to promote, isn't it?

Did He Just Say That?!?
The season just started last night and there's already some drama -- Adam Carolla called one of the "Dancing With the Stars" judges a "bitch" after giving him his pathetic score.
Either the censors didn't care or didn't catch it, the cuss appeared on the live East Coast version and West Coast replay of the TV-PG show. Quit your bitching!
Penn -- "Dancing" Is a Comedy Black Hole
Not even a Vegas-caliber comedian/magician like Penn Jillette can make "Dancing with the Stars" funny. Only Marie Osmond has been able to do that thus far.
Watch him make funny ... disappear!

She hasn't had major shine since, well, we can't remember when, but now that Shannon Elizabeth is prepping for "Dancing With The Stars", she might finally see a rise in her celebrity. Or not.

Producers of the "Dancing with the Stars" tour want to tango with Hillary Clinton!
TMZ has obtained a copy of the letter Jared Paul, co-producer of the "DWTS" tour, sent to Hillary -- inviting her to shake her groove thang -- on one of the next stops on the tour. Paul sent the letter after Hills told Tyra Banks in an interview that she might like to compete on "DWTS" someday. Depending on today's primary results, it may happen sooner than she thinks!
Hillary knows how to hustle for votes, but can she do the hustle?!
A call to a rep for Hillary Clinton was not immediately returned.
