Kristin Cavallari was surprisingly eliminated from Dancing With the Stars this week. She's taking it pretty well, but that doesn't mean she's not surprised and upset.
The 24-year-old scored high marks and praise from the judges, tallying 24 out of 30 points Monday. But despite finishing tied for third (out of 10), she's out the door.
"I'm really sad," Kristin Cavallari admitted. "But, I'd rather go out on top and have people be shocked than be like, 'Thank god she's leaving, it's about time.'"
"It was the best experience I've ever had. I could not be happier."
As for why she was voted off? "It is what it is," she laughed. "That's the thing with Dancing with the Stars, you never know. It's clearly not a dance competition!"
Sentimental favorite Chaz Bono, whose mom Cher vowed to cheer him on in person next week if her son made it, survived despite a second straight week in last.
Despite her own elimination, Cavallari is definitely on Team Chaz:
"Chaz is so cute! I think he's great and he tries so hard, and I loved watching him dance every week. It's inspiring, and it's sweet, and I hope he does really well!"
The week was also a net positive for Kristin. Jay Cutler, who cheered her on during Monday's show, has reportedly reconciled with the former star of The Hills.
Ah, the food wars.
It’s no secret that No Reservation‘s Anthony Bourdain doesn’t exactly love what the Food Network has to offer. If you’ve ever watched his show (one of the best on TV), you would have gathered that from the frequent jabs at celebrity chefs Sandra Lee, Paula Deen and Rachael Ray.
His Travel Channel show is not the only place where Bourdain hits out at the Food Network lineup. The outspoken food personality recently spoke to TV Guide Magazine and had this to say:
About Paula Deen:
The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she’s proud of the fact that her food is fucking bad for you. If I were on at seven at night and loved by millions of people at every age, I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it’s OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks.
He went on to say he is glad he’s not Guy Fieri and ask why Rachael Ray even bothers to cook anymore.
His criticism of Paula Deen made its way to Twitter, where his @NoReservations account has been pretty active since yesterday:
@NoReservations
Anthony Bourdain@SoPaulaDeen No. The FN cook worst for America. As a person? I’m sure she’s very nice.

Paula Deen has yet to respond on Twitter, but she did talk to the NY Post about Bourdain’s comments.
“Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life,” she said. “You don’t have to like my food, or Rachael’s, Sandra’s and Guy’s. But it’s another thing to attack our character.”
She went on to discuss how her cooking has helped to feed millions of hungry people and asks what Bourdain has done to contribute “besides being irritable.”
“You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills . . . It wasn’t that long ago that I was struggling to feed my family, too,” she said.
What do you think? Is a doughnut burger bad for an already obese America? Let us know in the comments.

More from the Billboard Awards
After winning the award for Top New Artist at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday in Las Vegas, Justin Bieber gave his girlfriend, singer and actress Selena Gomez, a very public kiss. The much-hyped kiss has nearly overshadowed the awards show itself in the hours after it ended.
The two have been dating for several months. Soon after the new year, Billboard reported Bieber and Gomez were seen kissing in the Caribbean while on vacation.
In addition to Top New Artist, Bieber won Digital Artist of the Year, Top Social Artist, Top Streaming Song (Video) for "Baby" featuring Ludacris and Top Pop Album for "My World 2.0."

LOS ANGELES — Selena Gomez conjured five wins at the Teen Choice Awards — one more than boyfriend Justin Bieber.
The star of “Wizards of Waverly Place” was selected as choice TV actress, female hottie and music group with her band The Scene. Gomez and her ensemble were also awarded the choice single trophy for “Who Says” and love song for “Love You Like a Love Song,” which the 19-year-old actress-singer performed at Sunday’s freewheeling fan-favorite ceremony.
“This is for all of you guys,” Gomez told the screeching crowd. “This isn’t mine.”
Bieber, Gomez’s 17-year-old actor-singer boyfriend, picked up four surfboard-shaped trophies as choice male music artist, male hottie, twit and TV villain for his “CSI” guest starring role. Other multiple winners included “The Vampire Diaries,” “Glee,” “The Twilight Saga,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” Robert Pattinson and Taylor Swift.
“I feel like it’s been a long time since I was a teenager, like, two years,” Swift joked.
Swift tied Gomez with five awards: choice female music artist, country female artist, female red carpet fashion icon, country single for “Mean” and break-up song for “Back to December.” The 21-year-old crooner was also honored for her contributions to entertainment with the Ultimate Choice Award, the show’s version of a lifetime achievement award.
“The Big Bang Theory” leading lady Kaley Cuoco hosted the 13th annual extravaganza at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Gibson Amphitheatre. Between dispensing awards like candy, Cuoco battled “Chuck” star Zachary Levi in table tennis, danced alongside “America’s Best Dance Crew” winners Poreotix and jokingly quizzed teenagers about current affairs.
There were moments of seriousness amid the silliness. Sean Kingston made his first live televised appearance since recovering from injuries he suffered after crashing a watercraft into a Miami Beach bridge in May. Demi Lovato, who entered a treatment facility last November to deal with “emotional and physical issues,” was on hand to accept two awards.
“You guys are what got me through this last year,” she told the audience.
Other winners who picked up surfboard-shaped trophies included Cameron Diaz as choice movie comedy actress for “Bad Teacher,” Ellen DeGeneres as choice comedian and Ashton Kutcher as choice romantic comedy movie actor for “No Strings Attached.” Before leading the crowd in a singalong of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Kutcher provided some topical advice.
“Don’t ever charge anything on a credit card if you don’t already have the money in the bank to pay for it,” he said.
The ceremony ended with a tribute to the “Harry Potter” film franchise. The final two installments apparently bewitched online voters, winning the most awards of the night. “Harry Potter” swept categories such as choice sci-fi/fantasy movie, liplock, villain for Tom Felton and summer movie star for both Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, who accepted his surfboard via satellite from New York.
'Grease' actor Jeff Conaway died Friday at age 60, RadarOnline.com reports and The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The news comes just a day after reports that the star would be taken off life support.She may be 73, but Jane Fonda is looking - and feeling - as good as a woman a third of her age.
A photograph of the actress and fitness guru in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar US magazine shows her looking stunning in a slinky black Stella McCartney dress complete with sheer panels with polka dot detail.
The actress tells the publication that she has learned to love herself after a long battle with bulimia and issues with her self image.

'It takes longer to recover from a bout. I had a career, I was winning awards, I was supporting nonprofits, I had a family, she adds, referring to her children Vanessa Vadim and Troy Garity.
She eventually stopped and instead turned to exercise. 'I don't do lunges, though, because I have a fake knee and a fake hip,' says Jane, who is promoting her new new self help book Prime Time.
Despite her incredible figure, which she recently showed off to wide admiration at the Cannes Film Festival, the star reveals she has long battled with her own self image, partly due to her relationship with her father, actor Henry Fonda.
'I was raised in the ’50s,' she explains. 'I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered, frankly.
'He was a good man, and I was mad for him, but he sent messages to me that fathers should not send: Unless you look perfect, you’re not going to be loved.'
Now the actress is not letting her age get in the way of vanity.

'I’m vain,' she says. 'My arms are thin, but I’m vain about loose flesh. And so I’m careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt.'
But she is conscious of not trying to dress too young for her age.
'I have people in my life who will say, "Honey, you’re trying too hard," she says. 'I like being saucy, but I’m 73 and a half. I’m still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.'
Claim to fame: Jane's role as Barbarella in the 1967 film thrust her firmly into the public eye
The star, who is a notable political activist, has earned two Academy Awards during her long career which has seen her star in film hits including Barbarella and Klute.
She has been married three times, first to director Roger Vadim, before marrying political activist Tom Hayden and then media mogul Ted Turner, who she divorced in 2001.
'When I was researching myself, I wondered, is there a "there" there?' she admits to the magazine when asked about researching her book. 'Or am I just a hollow person who gets filled up by whatever man I’m with?
'My problem is always with men - you know, pleasing a man, turning myself into a pretzel to be who the man I’m with wants me to be,' says Jane, who is now dating music producer Richard Perry.
'I’m not saying that that’s gone away 100 percent, but maybe 90 percent, 95 percent even.'
The actress also has some words of advice for Lindsay Lohan who she worked alongside on 2007 film Georgia Rule.
'I have nothing but compassion for her. I don't think she has ever experienced a chaos-free life,' she says.
