Stacey Dash defends pro-Romney stance


Stacey Dash defends pro-Romney stance
[Editor's Note: To hear more from Stacey Dash, tune in to "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9 p.m. ET/PT]
We know that not all of Hollywood skews left, but actress Stacey Dash has had to run defense after publicly supporting Republican candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday.
Along with sharing quite the patriotic photo, Dash encouraged her followers to "Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future," and has since been deluged with opposing commentary that's even caught the eye of Sandra Fluke, who came to Dash's defense.
"So disappointed to see people attacking @REALStaceyDash for voicing her opinion. Disagree politically, but #racist attacks are unacceptable," Fluke, the Georgetown University law school student who was caught in political crossfire earlier this year, tweeted Monday.
Following her tweet, Dash received replies such as, "B**** we know the only reason you tweeted that Romney s**t was so you can taste what it feels like to be relevant," and, "just like that @REALStaceyDash is excommunicated from the Black Community ... stupidity at its finest."
Another user questioned, "all racial issues aside," how the actress could support Romney as a woman.
Dash, who mainly responded to the criticism with lots of "lol's," explained that while she did vote for President Obama in 2008, "I don't vote because of race or skin color. ... at that time he was the best candidate, It's different this time."
"My humble opinion...," she added. "EVERYONE is entitled to one."
Of course, others have chimed in to support Dash as well, as iReporter Elizabeth Lauten does in this iReport. Have an opinion you want to share? Upload a video - we want to hear from you!

Denise’s sorrow


Denise Van Outen
Show must go on ... Denise Van Outen

DENISE VAN OUTEN has told how she danced through her heartache last night – after missing her grandad’s funeral to perform on Strictly.

The former West End star had to pull out of training sessions and a publicity day last week when Steven Matthews, 89, died in hospital.
But she opted not to bail out of her first performance with James Jordan, insisting: “It is what he would have wanted.”
Tearful Denise said: “Last week was really hard. The funeral was yesterday and unfortunately I couldn’t go because of the show. But I dedicated my first dance to my grandad. He would have understood.
“I saw him just before I went on the show so he knew I was doing it. I’m sure he is looking down on me and would be proud.”
Last night Denise performed an elegant waltz with James to With You I’m Born Again, the Billy Preston and Syreeta hit.
And the routine went with barely a hitch – despite James nursing a broken nose after his wife and normal dance partner Ola accidentally kicked him in the face.
A show source said: “Denise really wanted to dance in honour of her grandad and James was determined not to let her down.”

In the pink ... Cher Lloyd

Adding to the Americanism of it all is Cher’s opening verse of the song, in which the former X Factor contestant sounds like she’s rapping in a States accent.

That's how to make an entrance! Bra-less Kim Kardashian struts to her Miami hotel in a glamorous coral dress


She touched down in Miami on Friday following a brief trip to Mexico City in a sheer top.
But Kim Kardashian managed to change into another revealing outfit before arriving at her Miami hotel.
The ever-glamorous star found the time to get all dolled up to ensure that she made quite the entrance.

Kim was seen sporting a flowing coral dress which she had to hold up as she walked to prevent from tripping in her gold strappy sandals.
The 31-year-old also perhaps revealed more than she bargained for as she decided to forgo a bra for the outing.
But it was nothing compared to hours earlier when she showed there was not much need for a security scan as she arrived at Miami airport in a see-through top.

The strappy number showed off her toned arms, which she trimmed with plenty of bangles as well as her smooth décolletage area.
 
Stefani kept her platinum blonde locks poker straight and pinned behind her ear on one side to show off her large earrings.
She wore her signature red lipstick to dine with her husband, Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale as well as their two children Kingston and Zuma.

The clan were spotted arriving at the eatery in the daylight and emerged into the dark chatting away happily outside of the venue after the gathering with friends.
It appeared to be a successful night in terms of birthday gifts for the singer, who walked back to their car carrying some bags as she held onto her six-year-old’s hand.
Meanwhile her spouse carried younger sibling Zuma, four, in his arms.
Can we go now? Sons Zuma, four, and Kingston, six, stuck around while she and husband Gavin Rossdale chatted to a friend outside the eatery
