Four down. Seven to go. How do you assess the Dancing With the Stars field headed into tonight? Below, THG ranks the remaining competitors, bottom to top.

Take a look at our breakdown and vote in our survey below ...

7. Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel: She improved last week, but still lands at the bottom of our rankings. Can her fan base keep her on the show?

6. Romeo and Chelsie Hightower. Romeo's got swag and he's been more charming and high-scoring than we'd have guessed. Still a long way to go, though.

5. Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke. With a lovely Viennese waltz, Chris proved he belongs last week. But will the voters keep him around too much longer?

4. Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas. Improving fast and closing the gap. Plus, he's dating Pia Toscano and she's dating Stephen Colletti, so they're on Cloud Nine.

3. Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovksiy. She's overcome mishaps and mediocre scores, and remains a strong contender. Needs to step it up to win.

2. Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff. Despite some negative comments and some off weeks, we still see Ralph as a serious Mirror Ball threat. You?

1. Hines Ward and Kym Johnson. Hines has charisma, and earned the highest score of the season last week. The way he's going, a 30 doesn't seem far off.

What do you think? Are right on target? Way off base? How would you rank the dancers competing on the ABC show? Leave a comment below and tell us.

Then vote: Who will win Dancing With the Stars?

Here she goes again. Poor, innocent Lindsay Lohan feels she is the victim of a witch hunt by D.A. Danette Myers and wants the prosecutor off her case.

Will she get her wish?

The Deputy D.A., who is running for L.A. County District Attorney, actually asked the judge for the same thing last week, but Meyers was denied.

Sources in contact with Lindsay say the star, who was just sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating probation, believes she's being exploited.

Lohan feels she's become a living, breathing press release for Meyers, but this is probably just another case of her whining and making excuses.

First, Meyers herself asked off the case - it was the judge who said the D.A. can still prosecute it (rather than transferring it to the city attorney).

Second, Meyers has prosecuted hundreds of big cases and is quite well respected, so nailing Lohan for misdemeanor theft isn't some HUGE deal for her.

Essentially, Lindsay is pissed that Meyers is a thorn in her side, but she's just dong her job, and Lohan wouldn't have this problem if she'd get her $h!t together.

Everything's coming together for the Royal Wedding.

With just four days to go until the big day, Kate Middleton's bridal dress preparation is all wrapped up. The wedding gown has been completed.

"Kate will have no more fittings," a palace source says of the dress the world will see April 29. "The next time the dress goes on is Friday morning!"

Just who designed that historic dress remains the most closely guarded secret in all of England. Last Thursday, British fashion designer Sophie Cranston insisted that rumors are "not true" that she whipped up the frock herself.

Kate Middleton, who has shed some serious weight of late to fit into the dress, loves Cranston's label, and recently wore a Libelula coat.

Remaining contenders include Sarah Burton, the elegant, whimsical creative director of Alexander McQueen, the late Princess Diana's favorite Bruce Oldfield and boho-chic designer Alice Temperley, among other notable names.

The UK's Daily Mail even says Middleton designed the dress herself. The only thing we know for sure? Prince William's bride will look stunning.

Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas have put those dating rumors to rest.

There's no rumor about it - this is a real relationship! Pia was introduced to Mark's mom and friends on a night out in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Here's a cute photo of this adorable, smitten new couple ...

The vanquished American Idol finallist and her Dancing with the Stars beau dined out with fellow dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani.

Mark even invited his mom Shirley along. Things must be getting serious!

The two will perform together on DWTS this week, with Pia singing and Mark dancing along with his Season 12 partner, Disney's Chelesa Kane.

Reuniting the original cast and set in Thailand, The Hangover Part 2 comes out next month and might even live up to the hilarity of the original.

Following the same premise as the 2009 hit, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis hit up a bachelor party and things go terribly awry.

Missing from Part 2 is Mike Tyson, however, Helms’ character Stu pays homage to the former heavyweight champion whack job in the clip below.

How? He wakes up with a tribal tattoo on his face. His face.

The Hangover 2 Clip - Where Are We?

Follow the jump for a second TV spot for the film, in which the Jonas Brothers earn a mention ... and apparently have a big fan among the wolf pack.

Some good news for Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard, whose team just went down 3-1 to the Atlanta Hawks - he won a HUGE lawsuit against his baby mama.

Of course, if you're suing the mother of your child at all, there's a limit to how "good" you can consider things. Still, a $500,000 judgment? Holla!

Dwight sued Royce Reed for talking smack about him, and was awarded $500,000. Shockingly, she hasn't paid up, so he's going after her in California.

Howard won the judgment against Royce Reed because she violated a court order, prohibiting the Basketball Wives star from talking about him in the press.

Dwight claims Reed now owes him $551,606.74 with interest.

So far, he's gotten nada from Reed. Unwilling to let bygones be bygones, he's now filed in California court for the right to go after her ass(ets )in California.

Of course, that implies she has any there.

Lady Gaga recently posed for Harper's Bazaar, where famed photographer Terry Richardson put together a photo spread befitting of his reputation and hers.

Feast your eyes on the mag's Lady Gaga photos below ...

The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 23 on ABC, and the adorable Ashley Hebert is almost done filming the new season of the hit show in Asia!

According to Bachelor franchise shot-caller Mike Fleiss, who spoke about the upcoming season, the journey has taken six men and Ashley to Asia.

The series has been traveling to exotic locations more frequently of late, and Ashley is used to that, having made it all the way to the end last time.

Last season of The Bachelor ended with Brad Womack in South Africa, where he let Ashley Hebert and Chantal O'Brien go in favor of Emily Maynard.

Numerous reports that Brad and Emily broke up for good have surfaced in recent days, but so far have not been confirmed by the couple or show.

In any event, it's Ashley's turn to dole out roses this time around, and the pride of Madawaska, Maine, could not be more excited to find true love.

What do you think: Will Ashley make a good Bachelorette?

Paris Hilton is returning to reality TV June 1.

She promises that her new show on Oxygen, The World According to Paris, which also features Brooke Mueller, will provide massive amounts of drama.

The socialite says viewers will see "everything" unfold with her pal and costar Brooke, who's been publicly fighting addiction and her ex, Charlie Sheen.

"Brooke's an open book," Hilton told People at NBC Universal's Summer Press Day in Pasadena, Calif. "She's not afraid to show who she is."

"She's not afraid to tell the truth. And as a producer of the show, I love that for TV. I love someone who's not afraid to show everything."

Hilton and her mom Kathy continue to stand by Brooke Mueller, who has battled addiction for some time and recently fell off the wagon.

"What she's going through is a daily struggle," Kathy says.

Bieber romises "there might be surprises" on his tour.

The speculation is that with controversial R&B star Brown also touring the country, the pair will team up in Sydney to perform "Next 2 You" live:
