Singer Willa Ford put on a good face Wednesday when she was voted off ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

"I did exactly what I set out to do," she said. "I improved every week."

Ford, who released her debut album, "Willa Was Here," in 2001, and her partner, professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, failed to please viewers after wowing the show's judges with their sexy take on the rumba on Tuesday's dance-off.

The judges' scores put Ford and Chmerkovskiy in a four-way tie for first among the seven couples, but when combined with the online and telephone voting the pair ended up in last place.

Chmerkovskiy, fueling rumors of an offstage romance, said Ford might be his "favorite student."

"We thought as much," winked host Tom Bergeron.

Actor-TV host Mario Lopez, former football player Emmitt Smith, and actress Monique Coleman were among the celeb dancers with the highest marks.

Talk show host Jerry Springer, a good sport who is quick with a self-deprecating quip, is also going to the next round. He is a fan favorite, despite being ranked with Ford in the bottom two of vote-getters.

Others shaking their booties to next week's disco-dancing round were country singer Sara Evans and actor Joey Lawrence.

Is Burberry designer Christopher Bailey the nicest man in the fashion world or just the most tactful? He lept to the defense of the former queen of WAGS Victoria Beckham when TheBuzz met him at the David Hockney exhibition at the National Portrait gallery last night.

Although Victoria often causes cotroversy in fashion circles with her excessively co-ordinated outfits, causing former Gucci designer Tom Ford to once say that he wished she would get out of his clothes. Bailey praised her fashion sense, even going so far as to say that "Victoria is one of the most stylish women I know."

Christopher, who has just shot the latest Burberry ad campaign with rock band Kasabian, was reporedly given adressing down by Burberry exceitoves fpr javomg dommer with the former Spice Girl earlier this year at Londons restaurant E&O.

Fashion sources say Burberry is trying to re-brand and escape it's chav image, but Bailey sees nothing wrong with haning out with the wueen of the chavs.

He added to us "I love Victoria and I always will. As far as I'm concerned, she always looks great and I don't know why everyone is so horrible to her."

Kevin Federline hosted a party at Kitson Men for the clothing line he's the spokesmodel for, Five Star. K-Fed pulled up in his silver Ferrari, sans Britney, and rushed passed the press waiting outside.

Once inside, K-Fed posed with a few baby t-shirts he had picked out (one read "Pooparazzi") while a DJ played tracks from his new album -- which happens to come out on Halloween. Insert your own "trick or treat" joke here.

Also, and we don't model for any clothing lines or anything, but when you do an event for a clothing company, shouldn't you show up in something a little nicer than a white t-shirt?

As for the celebrity turnout, there was, um ... the guy who played Marcia Cross' gay son's boyfriend on "Desperate Housewives." Does that count?

For several days now rumors have been swirling around about Orlando Bloom's future with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Simply put, several different sources were reporting that in the next movie he'd be killed off. Those rumors were completely untrue.

Reps with Disney have confirmed to us that while they cannot comment on specific plot points of future movies, they can tell us that the rumors of Will Turner's death are completely unfounded. As of right now, Disney plans to have Bloom's character in any and all future Pirates films. That means if they make a fourth one, they plan to have him in it. It also means that they aren't going to kill him off.

Of course they killed Jack Sparrow off in the last one, so I suppose even if they do kill the character it's no great obstacle. They'll still find a way to fit him in. Hold off on the hysteria Will Turner fans, he has a long future with Pirates of the Caribbean.

Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay was every inch the Space Cowboy when he went out on his Vintage Vespa GTV 250 near his home in Buckinghamshire.

And there was no missing the dare-devil in his leather jacket and shades.

The 36-year-old, who owns a fleet of top-notch motors, describes the scooter as his "babe".

Westlife are the biggest vocal boy band in the world and their successes to date are unrivaled.

November 13th will see Westlife release their 8th album, 'The Love Album'. Following on from the enormous success they achieved last year with the release of their Number 1 album 'Face To Face', Westlife return with a new album consisting of 11 of the most classic and memorable love songs of all time.

The album will be preceded by the single 'The Rose', which is set for release on the 6th of November.

Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian look set to bring some romance to Christmas this year with a selection of their favourite love songs that they personally chose.

The opening track and first single 'The Rose' sets the tone for the album. Originally a huge hit for Bette Midler in the US in 1980, it now looks set to emulate the success here in the UK. On another of the album's many highpoints the guys teamed up with Australian singing star Delta Goodrem to record a version of 'All Out Of Love'.

Westlife have experienced phenomenal success from the start of their career dominating the UK music scene for eight years. Having sold over 35 million albums worldwide with six multi-platinum albums in the UK, 12 UK number ones and countless awards including two BRITs and an MTV Europe Award. 'The Rose' marks Westlife's unprecedented return reaffirming their reign at the top.

November 2002 saw Westlife set a new Guinness World Record for the 'Most Personal Appearances' by a pop band in 36 hours (Westlife visited Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Manchester and London to promote their Greatest Hits album Unbreakable) which entered the album charts at number 1 (and was top ten in over 16 countries).
Westlife history

In 1998 Shane, Kian, Mark were in an unknown Sligo pop group named IOU, who made their debut at The Point - Dublin's biggest pop venue.

A local TV show brought them to the attention of pop svengali, Louis Walsh, who hired them to support the US band, Backstreet Boys. It was their biggest gig by far, and a long way from the school show Grease where Shane, Kian and Mark sang together for the first time. After the show, Louis was impressed. He said "I can't see you up there and not manage you!" recalls Shane.

Louis introduced new members Bryan, fresh from stage school, and Nicky, an ex football apprentice at Leeds United, to the ranks of the newly-named Westside.

Signed to RCA by Pop Idol's very own Simon Cowell, Westside were renamed Westlife, after learning of other American acts with their moniker.

Groomed as natural successors to Boyzone, the quintet's debut single 'Swear It Again' was a highly predictable Irish and UK chart-topper. The follow-ups repeated the feat when they entered the UK singles chart at number one. 'Flying Without Wings' gave them their third number one in October 1999.

Topping the charts with 'Fool Again', a duet with Mariah Carey on a cover version of Phil Collins' 'Against All Odds', and 'My Love', amongst other hits, they had soon notched up seven number ones.

It was in March 2004 that Brian quit the band to spend more time with his family at the time, leaving the band as a four. However, Westlife have dominated the UK music scene for over 8 years.

Which American star is currently trying it on with a married woman but not getting very far? The cheeky chap in question regularly sends saucy texts and love letters but still gets blown out. And he's even resorted to boasting about the size of his manhood. Which is ironic, considering his ex girlfriend claims it's a "weener."

X Factor winner Shayne Ward's mum is battling a mystery illness. Philomena, 48, was yesterday in court where she denied threatening behaviour in a pub during which a bouncer claims he was punched in the face.

But the Manchester magistrates heard Ward was "in a deteriorating state of health."

A medical report will be drawn up. Her lawyer Lindsay Orr told teh court: "There is an issue as to whether this case will proceed against her."

It is the second health panic to hit the family in recent weeks. Last month Shayne, 21, flew to LA to have nodules removed from his vocal cords.

Michael Jackson sported women’s pumps, shades, and a big floppy hat as he tried to go unnoticed in Saint-Tropez. The king of pop was accompanied by a similarly outfitted young boy, according to the Daily News.

Lost star Josh Holloway tells the November issue of Men’s Journal he worries that the show’s twisty, secretive plot will put him out of work. “Everybody in the cast worries about being killed off, and we wouldn’t know until they handed us the script - three days before shooting,” the 37-year-old actor says. “It’s a sensitive issue. People have houses here, kids in school. Most of us aren’t in our twenties anymore.”

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton’s best-friend-again Nicole Richie has also moved on from her ex-beau, Brody Jenner.

A newly redheaded Richie has a new sweetie, Samuel Plouchart, a fashion editor at the French Magazine Citizen K, according to Us. “New boy, new look,” Richie told the mag.

Jenner told Us that toward the end of their two-month romance, Richie “didn’t treat me like a friend or a boyfriend.” He did, however, care deeply for her, according to a source, who told the mag, “He tried to help her gain weight. When she’d eat a few bites and stop, he’d say, ‘Finish that!’”

Paris Hilton dumped boyfriend Travis Barker after a nasty catfight with an ex, according to a report.

Hilton claims that Shanna Moakler, Barker’s estranged wife, called Hilton a “skinny [bleep]” and punched her in the jaw on Oct. 3 at the hot Los Angeles club Hyde, according to In Touch Weekly.

But Moakler insists that Hilton’s ex-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos, pushed her down stairs and dumped a drink on her.

Hilton called it quits with Travis the following weekend, explains a “pal,” who told ITW: “Paris realized this was not what she needed in her life right now.”

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie on Tuesday accused the West of cold-heartedness and hypocrisy in trying to shut out migrants, including refugees, from Africa and other hotspots.

More than 7,000 people have died trying to get into Europe over the past decade, according to Jolie, whose comments appeared in the magazine "Refugees", published by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for whom she is a goodwill ambassador.

She expressed outrage at a photo which appeared recently in the quarterly magazine, taken on an unidentified Mediterranean beach in Spain in 2002, which showed a couple relaxing under an umbrella not far from the washed-up corpse of a black man.

"We'll never know who he was or why he ended up there and the couple on the beach apparently couldn't care less," Jolie wrote. "Someone's son, someone's brother, or someone's loved one. In fact, you or me, if we had been born at another time, or in another place."

Jolie, who has been to more than 20 countries since becoming a UNHCR goodwill ambassador five years ago, said it was a scandal that such a rich world was not feeding all people in refugee camps, especially in Africa.

Many would-be refugees fell into the hands of unscrupulous smugglers "who push them into overcrowded boats or hide them in the backs of containers, or tell them to walk across minefields or scale barbed wire fences in the middle of the night".

"Many have also died trying to get into the United States and Australia. But we don't notice," wrote the Oscar-winning actress, who is filming in India.

Ignoring simmering conflicts had proven damaging and expensive, she said, citing Bosnia, Rwanda and Afghanistan.

"I have been to some of these countries, or to their neighbors, where most of the refugees remain," said Jolie.

"It is a truly humbling experience, a shocking eye-opener. It has made me realize that we are all -- myself included -- behaving like the couple sitting under their umbrella on the beach, gazing studiously out to sea," she said.
