Kellie Pickler: Maxim Hot 100 list doesn’t make you hot – LOS ANGELES – Making Maxim’s annual “Hot 100” list might be a huge milestone for some celebrities. But Kellie Pickler, who was ranked number 96 by the magazine, said the list is hardly a true measure of attractiveness. “I have met some beautiful people on the exterior but as soon as they open their mouths it’s like ‘eew.’ People ask, ‘what’s beauty?’ I think it is when you have a good attitude and I think that really shines through,” the country crooner told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column at the men’s magazine’s swanky “Hot 100” celebratory bash. – Read more at FOX News

Dancing’s Derek Hough: We Feel Good About Our Pieces – I feel like we’re ready. We’re as ready as we’ll ever be. We definitely put the hours. We had 12-to-14-hour days every day. I had a little scare yesterday. My neck started to do a weird spasm. I’m trying to forget about it — mind over matter. It’s not as bad as it was last time, but it’s there. There are some moves that I’m doing in our freestyle that are based solely on my strength, so I’m a little worried. But I’ll be fine; I’ll have to battle through. It was kind of a slow process this week. We took a long time getting music for our freestyle and to get the right edit, and then we went back-and-forth about what to do in the freestyle. It’s a super-sized freestyle, so everybody is doing a big production. And I like to big productions, but I felt like for Kellie, less is more. She can dance. I didn’t want to mask anything. I just wanted to show her ability and try to draw people in and make them feel something. It’s a different approach, so I hope it stands out. – Read more at TV Guide
