Playboy's Joanna Krupa: Dancing With the Stars Killed My Sex Life
Joanna Krupa may be hot stuff on Dancing With the Stars, but that doesn't mean things are just as steamy for her in the bedroom.
"Dancing With the Stars definitely hasn't helped my sex life," Krupa told us earlier today. "I have no time for anything except rehearsal. When I get home from rehearsals, I don't want to be bothered. Cuddling is enough for me. I'm mentally and physically exhausted, so my fiancé [businessman Romain Zago] will just have to wait."
So how's Zago handling the dry spell?

Jason Segel Shows Us His Serious Side
Jason Segel may be known for making people laugh, but the funnyman also has a serious side.
Segel told us last night that a male friend of his is battling breast cancer. Although rare, about 1 percent of all U.S. breast cancer cases occur in men.
"I think the key is to keep treating him normally and not change the way you would normally talk to someone just because they have cancer," Segel said at the launch of Lacoste's 2009 Pink Croc collection, which benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Director Judd Apatow also opened up about how the disease has affected his life...
Mira Sorvino Gives Birth After "Life-Threatening" Pregnancy
Mira Sorvino suffered for weeks with life-threatening complications before giving birth on June 22, her rep announced today.
"He is my miracle baby," Sorvino, 41, says of her baby boy, Holden Paul Terry. "With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed."
The Oscar-winner was hospitalized for almost two months after developing placenta previa—a condition that can require bed rest and hospitalization—along with a blood clot...

Farrah Fawcett Gets Comfort From Fave Musician
Farrah Fawcett loves Van Morrison's music.
So much so that the legendary musician filmed his recent shows at L.A.'s Orpheum Theater so he could give copies to Fawcett to watch while she's at home in bed in Malibu.
Jennifer Hudson Sidelined by Throat Condition
Jennifer Hudson is taking a break this week from her national tour with Robin Thicke. Doctors are said to be treating her for a throat condition related to her singing.
No word yet on how many shows will be affected by the setback. The tour is scheduled for stops this week in Dallas, Houston, Phoenix and Biloxi, Miss. Last night's scheduled stop in Oakland, Calif., was postponed until May 19.
Hudson last performed on Saturday at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre. I was there, and she proved to be a real superstar because she didn't show any signs that something may have been wrong.
So just how well did Ms. Hudson do?
Usher's Family Crisis
Usher is dealing with a family crisis.
Record mogul Clive Davis shocked guests at his annual star-studded pre-Grammys party Saturday night when he announced that the R&B superstar would not be performing as planned.
Davis, president of Usher's J Records label, announced that the entertainer and his mother phoned earlier to cancel his rehearsal and subsequent performance at the Beverly Hilton because of a "serious illness in the family."
Reps for Usher declined to comment or elaborate on the sad news, but a source close to the 30-year-old denies rumors that his wife, Tameka Foster, 37, had died due following plastic surgery. Access Hollywood does report, however, that Foster did suffer complications from a cosmetic procedure in Brazil.
The couple have been married since August 2007 and have two children. Foster formerly worked as Usher's stylist.
Seal's Medical Confession
Performing wasn’t the only thing Seal did at last week’s Lupus L.A. Orange Ball in Beverly Hills.
The 45-year-old Grammy-winning singer also went public for the first time about having suffered from the autoimmune disease for about two decades.
“You’ve all shown your generosity and your support, and as a 20-or-so-odd-year sufferer myself, I feel really fortunate to be in the position to contribute,” Seal said.
After Seal's four-song set, the Lupus Research Institute announced it had established a medical grant in Seal’s name to be distributed to various lupus-related initiatives.
Cristián de la Fuente Going Under the Knife
Just call it Surgery With the Stars.
Cristián de la Fuente may have injured himself pretty badly earlier this week on Dancing With the Stars, but he insists the show will go.
“This Monday we will be dancing,” de la Fuente said last night at the15th annual Race to Erase MS gala benefiting the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis in Los Angeles. “We have the tango and the mambo.”
Even so, de la Fuente will eventually undergo surgery. “They have to reattach the tendon to the bone,” he said. “They put you to sleep, do the surgery and then you have a month and a half recovery.”
Fellow DWTS contestant football star Jason Taylor is lending a hand, too.
