[ Astronomy & Space ] Open Question : If the earth was at the center of the galaxy would it be brighter?

The center of the milky way "the bulge" has a lot higher concentration of stars than around us, but if earth was within the bulge would the nights be brighter or the days? would the combined light of all these stars have an effect or are they still too far apart?

ABC Reveals Cast of "Dancing with the Stars"

ABC announced the cast of Dancing With the Stars Season 13 last night, and for the most part DWTSGossip was right about which celebs will compete for the coveted mirror ball trophy. The full cast list includes Carson Kressley, Nancy Grace, Kristin Cavalleri, Ricki Lake, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solis, Elizabetta Canalis, David Arquette, Rob Kardashian, J.R. Martinez, Chaz Bono, and Ron Artest.

So what do the stars have to say about competing in the popular dance show?

"I think it will probably be a lot easier to report the live news than be the live news -- such as falling on your booty,” said Nancy Grace, the fiery, Casey Anthony-hating host of HLM’s Nancy Grace. “So let's try to avoid that."

Ricki Lake is another candidate uncertain of her dancing skills, despite the fact that she danced in the 1988 classic Hairspray.

"I was 18 years old, that was 1988, I was 200 pounds and I was faking it the entire time," Lake said. "I assure you, I do not have an edge here."

David Arquette says he won’t take the competition lightly and that he’s in it to win it.

"I will bring it," Arquette told eonline. "I don't want to be goofy or silly. I love a good '70s outfit, so I'll bring that. But I want it to be true to the dance style. I intend on challenging myself as much as I can. I really love the cast. Really what it all comes down to is a personal challenge and a bond with my partner."

The newly-single Kristin Cavallari is also excited about competing on the show.

"What better time to do it and to stay busy and hopefully get in great shape," she says. "I got my first spray tan ever last night. Now I'm a real dancer! I'm so excited."

Which celeb is your favorite? I’m not a big Nancy Grace fan, but I think it would be hilarious if she turned out to be a killer dancer.

Blind Items: I Guess, You Guess

This B- list model is not used to actually having to do anything for the money she is paid. Oh, not for modeling, but for being a girlfriend. See, our model previously was the girlfriend for an A list rapper and he only wanted her by his side to look pretty so people would think he liked women. She loved the role. He finally got tired of paying though so she moved on to another rapper who did not have as much money or fame, but it beat trying to audition for modeling jobs. The thing is though her latest guy is straight and expects way more from the model other than to look pretty. At this point she cannot stand the guy but has no other options. Plus, she thinks she can get a reality show out of this. (CDAN)

Orange Carnation (aka Amber Rose) and Wiz Khalifa? But if she's a B- list model, then Lindsay Lohan is an A-list voice of reason.

Although she works hard to present herself to the world as a wonderful person, this actress has a black streak a mile wide. She wants what she wants when she wants it, and she enjoys it even more if it hurts someone she dislikes. In this case, she is still pouring salt into the wound of the woman whose husband she stole. The woman has since moved on to a new relationship, but the actress just can?t leave bad enough alone. She wants the woman?s new beau to star with her in a movie. Considering that the beau is barely on anyone?s radar as an actor, it?s clearly a move designed by the actress to hurt the woman. BTW, although it would mean a big boost to his career, the beau will turn down the part out of loyalty to the woman. (Blind Gossip)

Angie Jo, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. No question mark needed since here's Exhibit: EVERYTHING. But importantly, why in clogged arteries hell do we need Salt 2: Saltier?!

This B/C list film actress from a series spent a summer as a young girl in Europe and allegedly had a baby from a fling there. She gave the baby to the father?s family. Ever since making her money in Hollywood, she has sent financial assistance to the family, under the strict instruction that child not know who the money was from. (BuzzFoto)

Teri Polo from Meet the Parents? It's all I've got.

What former just about A list tweener singer who now makes her living being a party girl wants new breasts. She already has fake ones but wants to go bigger, because as she said it, "Lets face it. My breasts are the only reason I get hired for anything and I need to find a guy before the rest of me goes." (CDAN)

This is probably Noah Miley Cyrus, but I'm going to say it's Hoku, because every time the name Hoku is typed a tiny bubble dances across the wind in Hawaii.

What former Housewife crashed a premiere party for another show and begged producers to put her on their show. (CDAN)

I have no idea. But here's some pictures of the prostitution whore-ah herself Danielle Staub giving "The Grinch doing kabuki" face at yesterday's Basketball Wives L.A. premiere. I'm just posting this mess for no reason, because it's totally not related to the blind item above at all.
