People Cristian de la Fuent1.jpg

As reported last night, Cristian de la Fuente suffered an injury while performing the samba with his partner Cheryl Burke on Monday's "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC.

"In the very beginning of the dance, I fell back into his arms and I heard something crack," Burke told TV Guide, who was in tears after the show. "I thought it was my dress making that sound. I didn't think it was anything else."

"They have rocket launchers, sure, but if we bar the door with this bookcase, we'll be safe as kittens!" Locke and Ben assume a defensive position in "The Shape of Things to Come."

Do we really need Ben to go all Indiana Jones on us? In tonight's return of "Lost," Ben — previously a maniacally creepy, holding-all-the-cards brainiac — zapped all over the world and all over the timeline ... kicking ass. In the end, he sets up the rest of the show (the episode was, after all, titled "The Shape of Things to Come") as a showdown between two power-hungry obsessives. Yup, he's one of them.

A while back, we reported on "As the World Turns" fans who were angry over the platonic nature of the relationship between young hotties Luke and Noah on the soap. Well, our long national nightmare is over. The campaigned-for kiss finally happened yesterday ...

As guest host of ‘‘Today,’’ first lady Laura Bush proved she can be as chatty and genial as the broadcast pros.

Even better, she demonstrated how to keep it under control Tuesday. In the company of the NBC morning show’s fawning, overeager veterans, Bush brought a welcome air of restraint — while much of the time, her on-air companions might have seemed to the former teacher like schoolchildren on a sugar rush.

‘‘You did that so well, it’s obvious that WE are overpaid,’’ news anchor Ann Curry marveled after Bush did a brief voiceover announcement.

‘‘Well, it’s been obvious we’re overpaid for a long time,’’ co-anchor Matt Lauer chimed in. ‘‘It didn’t take Mrs. Bush to prove that.’’

'Twas the night before the Pennsylvania primary, and all over TV were presidential candidates — and even the president himself — denigrating their station by pandering to google-eyed couch potatoes.

Everywhere you surfed tonight, there they were — on CNN, on Fox, on "Deal or No Deal," even the WWE.


President Bush is happy to be anywhere with good ratings.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton played up her image as a tireless problem solver — this time for laughs — when she visited Comedy Central’s ‘‘The Colbert Report’’ last night.

Not to be outdone, Sen. Barack Obama, her rival for the Democratic nomination, showed up via satellite to poke fun at what he called the media’s fixation on gaffes and trivialities.

Michelle Obama on 'The Colbert Report'

Barack Obama declined to appear on Stephen Colbert's news-parody show "The Colbert Report," taping in Philadelphia this week (its first remote outing), but his wife, Michelle Obama, faced Colbert's singular wit last night.

Colbert began the interview by "grilling" her about her "silver spoon" upbringing on Chicago's South Side. He even serenades her at one point. Eventually he asked: "Why would you want to be first lady? You’d never get any sleep because I understand the phone keeps ringing at 3 a.m."

Hillary Clinton is scheduled on the show tomorrow night.
