Belinda Carlisle Has the 'Dancing with the Stars' Beat
We all know that Belinda Carlisle has got the beat -- but can she translate it to ballroom dancing when she partners with Jonathan Roberts for the new season of "Dancing with the Stars"?
"I've never done anything choreographed before so I'm stepping out of my safe little world," the lead singer of the Go-Gos tells ET.
The 50-year-old adds, "I have noticed from the first few weeks of doing this, it's very hard -- especially when you're my age. It's a lot more difficult for me than Shawn Johnson who is 17."
Belinda is also taking a page from former "Dancing with the Stars" competitor Marie Osmond in that she has the same partner, is on the NutriSystem diet and will be juggling concert dates at the same time she is on the hit ABC series.
"I figure if Marie can do this and shows at the same time so can I. She's my role model right now," she says. Then she jokes, "I can eat a lot more NutriSystem snacks now. It all helps and I love to eat."
Belinda, who lives in France, says that she previously watched the show by satellite with her husband and son.
"My son is thrilled. My husband's thrilled. My husband's so nervous, though. He's not coming out to see it because he's too scared."
"Dancing with the Stars" premieres Monday, March 9 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

'DWTS'' Derek Hough Says Lil' Kim to 'Surprise' Viewers
Last season's "Dancing With The Stars" champ Derek Hough is opening up about his new "DWTS" partner Lil' Kim -- dishing about how it is to work with the hip hop artist and how the duo have been getting along so far!
On a new MySpace.com blog entitled "Rehearsing with Lil' Kim," Derek calls his new partner "unbelievably nice and intuitive," adding that she is a "great student."
Derek writes:
"…I'm in New York City at the moment training up my new partner for this season of DWTS, none other than the wonderful LIL KIM... I'm happy to say that she has surpassed my expectations so far and think she will surprise a lot of people. I have been a tourist in the city while I have been here, taking pictures and seeing all the wonderful shows. But I am ready to go back to LA. I love working with LIL KIM she is so unbelievably nice and intuitive, she has been a great student…."

Ty Murray’s Dancing Strategy: Get Wife Jewel Pregnant
She may have tendonitis in her knee, but Jewel is on the mend.
“I went to the physical therapist yesterday and I can say that I am feeling better!” the Dancing with the Stars contestant wrote Thursday on her blog. “He said if I take time now to heal I will be good to go by next week.”
That’s good news for the singer — “I hate missing these days, but it’s all for the best in the long run,” she continued, “because I’m in it for the long haul and I wanna win it” — but not so great for her rodeo star husband Ty Murray, who will compete against her in the ballroom.
But Murray has a plan.
“Ty said he thinks his best chance of beating me is if I get pregnant during the show so I would be too tired to dance,” Jewel writes. “Talk about a strategy! Of course, that would be fine with me if it did happen, so either way would be a win!”

Dancing’s Gilles Marini Injured
Is there a Dancing with the Stars curse in the works for season eight? Actor Gilles Marini sought medical treatment after feeling pain in his groin area at rehearsal on Friday afternoon, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The Sex and the City: The Movie star and his partner, two-time Dancing champ Cheryl Burke, were rehearsing when he felt a sharp pain in his groin.
Marini, 33, sought medical treatment and his rep says doctors determined the actor has tendonitis in his groin and shoulder.
Despite the setback, “We’re pretty confident he’ll be fine for premiere night,” his rep Jana Davidoff tells People.com. “He’s in great shape. He’ll be fine.”
This is the second injured celebrity this year. Singer Jewel sought attention for a knee injury earlier this week, but plans to hit the ballroom floor when Dancing’s eighth season kicks off on March 9 on ABC.
News of Marini’s injury broke on E! Online.
