Tonight’s bottom three came down to Kathy, Debi Mazar, and Louie Vito. Unfortunately, it would be the last dance for lackluster former model Kathy Ireland, who was given her walking papers from the ballroom competition after tying with former Congressional “Hammer” Tom DeLay for the lowest score of the night — an 18 — on Monday’s performance show.

The star of Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place spent much of the Labor Day Weekend in a poverty-stricken region of Ghana, working to bring local children clean water, nourishment, education, and access to healthcare.

“I’m so honored to be apart of UNICEF! I can’t wait to help out more, it was truly a life changing adventure! Posting more info for you all!” Selena wrote in a post of her Twitter page Monday.

As an ambassador, Selena will help educate and advocate on behalf of UNICEF and support the organization’s mission to help reduce the number of daily preventable deaths of children.

“Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes. I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero,” Selena said in a statement last week. “I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality.”

Selena Gomez, baking aficionado and star of the new Disney friendship movie Princess Protection Program,

Celebrity besties Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato ditched a glamorous film party to invade a high school prom in Canada last week.

The girls were in Toronto on Thursday celebrating the launch of their new Disney made-for-TV movie The Princess Protection Program when they decided to check out a prom at nearby Etobicoke Collegiate Institute.

Security guards allowed the 16 year olds to sneak into the event — where they took to the dance floor to show off their moves.

Prom night came to an end for Demi Selena at 11PM, after the girls were asked to leave by school officials because they weren’t students.

“PPP (Princess Protection Program) peeps and I crashed a prom tonight and danced with a highschool!! amazing!! I finally had prom!” Selena wrote excitedly on her Twitter blog Friday.

Selena and Taylor: On the Disney DL?

Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is under strict orders from bosses at The Mouse — Disney that is — to keep her flourishing romance with Twilight: New Moon hottie Taylor Lautner under wraps.

According to a report featured in the June 29 edition of Star Magazine, Disney execs are going out of their way to ensure that they doesn’t end up with another troubled child star on its hands.

Lindsay Lohan, anyone?

Disney execs have asked Selena to deny reports that she is dating Taylor because they fear the relationship will destroy her image — and lead to a ratings nightmare for The Wizards of Waverly Place.

“The network doesn’t want parents to get the wrong idea and stop their kids from watching Selena’s show.”

As a result, Selena has been “forced to downplay the relationship even though she’s crazy about him,” according to at least Disney turncoat.

A Star insider says: “Disney wants all its stars to be wholesome and execs told Selena to deny she’s dating Taylor because that might taint her squeaky clean image. She can be ‘friends’ with him, but nothing more than that.”

The “cute as a button” Selena Gomez turned the tables on host Jimmy Fallon, peppering the comic with a set of interview questions during her appearance on NBC’s Late Night on Tuesday.

Selena is currently in the Big Apple promoting her new Disney Channel Original Movie, The Princess Protection Program — co-stars her real-life best friend, actress Demi Lovato.

(It would be really adorable if the girls got to do their press interviews together.)

The Princess Protection Program premieres on The Disney Channel next Friday, June 26, @ 8PM.
