Nicole Richie tattoosNicole Richie sports nine (at least) tattoos on her body, Stephanie. The favorite seems to be this rosary she had tattooed around her ankle. She also has a spider-shaped tat on her lower stomach, as well as a pair of ballerina slippers she got in honor of the song her father, Lionel Richie, wrote for her. (For you young'uns, that song was "Ballerina Girl.")

What did Cheryl Burke do during the off season of "Dancing with the Stars"? --Mary

Cheryl Burke Mary, even though you may not be seeing Cheryl's name in lights every day, this girl never has an off season! The 22-year-old spent time in Hawaii with her family on a "much needed vacation" after the show's end, but it was back to the grind in no time. Cheryl spent time rehearsing for the "Dancing with the Stars" tour, six days a week for nine hours each day! The tour kicked off December 19 in San Diego, where Cheryl was reunited with Drew Lachey, her winning partner from season two.

For a look at how things were going on the "Dancing" bus, you cannot miss this!

Did Justin Guarini fall off planet Earth? --Allison

Justin GuariniWell Allison, Justin is definitely no Kelly Clarkson. He was cut by RCA, and as a result, got virtually no promotion for his first album, "Justin Guarini," released in 2003. That album was followed by "Stranger Things Have Happened," released by Justice Entertainment. There's a buzz that one of Justin's problems is that he took a buzzer to his hair, which took away his key distinctive quality.

He didn't fare much better when he took a stab at film -- his movie, "From Justin to Kelly," tanked.

Justin makes occasional TV appearances and he's still working on his music. But the runner up in "A.I." season one has not exactly had smooth sailing.

How did Madonna get her nickname? --Melissa

Madonna Melissa, lots of people have to be wondering the same thing. "Madge" is a name the UK press gave to Madonna, a shortened combo version of "Her Majesty" and "Madonna." No one in her professional or personal life refers to her by that name ... we're guessing it didn't stick, or she just doesn't care for it!

For more Madonna, don't miss this.

Green DayMelody, people have been very quiet about this could-be movie for a while, but it seems as though it will come into fruition.

With ideas for the flick pouring in, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong confirmed in an interview over the summer with MTV that "it's definitely going to happen." But don't expect to see the band members on screen -- they're leaving that to the professionals.

12. About Nicole's rosary:Is that rosary some everlasting trinket that supposedly flails in the wind as she walks or flirt with God, that it comes so close to dragging the ground.Can she say a cycle of the rosary?I guess what bothers me the most is to see most people look for a rise out of people by degrading what other people hold so true. I'm not outraged nor angered,I feel kinda sorry for her.I guess it,s the naivety of it all.And for all of you that turn your cross upside down and claim something against christianity. C' mon ,you took something that existed for centuries signifying the crucifixtion of Peter upside down,then seemingly put some sort of fear into the undereducated christians of the world. Trust me, I'm not some bible thumper, but you wouldn,t have this image to boost yourself if it wasn't for christianity. If you trult denounce it then symbolize yourself with your own symbol and stop trying to frighten people away from themselves. OH AND FOR ALL YOU HATE MONGERS OUT THERE.ONCE YOUR DONE DENOUNCING EVERYONE ELSE AND EVERY ELSE IS GONE. WILL THERE BE NO ONE ELSE LEFT TO HATE BUT YOURSELVES. THINK ABOUT IT MAN C'MON
