Ben Affleck's Son Prefers Jimmy Fallon's Version of 'Let It Go' to His Dad's (VIDEO)

Ben Affleck might be Batman, and he might have a hotly anticipated movie coming out Friday (that would be Gone Girl). But when it comes to his kids, all that matters is that Affleck can't sing "Let It Go."

"You can't tell your son – 'cause you're supposed to be his hero – that you can't sing," Affleck told Jimmy Fallon Monday on The Tonight Show before launching into a warbled, off-key version of the hit Frozen song that he belts out to his son, Samuel, 2.

In fact, Affleck added, Samuel actually loves Fallon's Roots-accompanied rendition of "Let It Go" better than his pop's.

"And now he's started being like, 'No, Papa. Do it like the man,' " Affleck said of the tyke's preference for Fallon's version.

Affleck headlines David Fincher's adaptation of Gone Girl , which is sure to feature a paucity of musical numbers, and in a little over a year, you can see him don the Batsuit in Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Plenty of time to work on his own version of "Let It Go."

It's Two Truths and a Lie Tuesday with Blake Shelton!

How well do you know Blake Shelton? Sure, he's one of country's biggest hitmakers, is married to Miranda Lambert and has a bromance going with fellow The Voice mentor Adam Levine … everyone knows all that.

But play the classic get-to-know-you game Two Truths and a Lie with Shelton – whose album Bringing Back the Sunshine is out Tuesday – and you'll get to know him even better.

Two of the below statements are true, one isn't. Can you guess the lie?

A) He's French-kissed a frog.

B) He moonlights as a watermelon farmer.

C) He's afraid of fireworks.

A) He's French-kissed a frog – True!

"Once at a summer cookout in the neighborhood as a kid, I had a frog in one hand and my drink in the other hand. I wanted to switch hands and so I put the frog in my mouth and closed it and switched hands with my drink and got the frog back out.

"I was probably 4 and the only reason I remember it is because the second I put the frog in my mouth, my mom and all the old ladies from the neighborhood started screaming at me and like tackling me to get this frog out of my mouth. I'll never forget it for the rest of my life."

B) He moonlights as a watermelon farmer – True!

"I plant at least 10 acres of watermelons every year – and I hate watermelons. I don't know why I do it. It's random and it's weird. My step-dad likes them, but Miranda doesn't even really care for them that much. Normally, it never makes it to the point where they even get eaten because deer eat them so fast."

C) He's afraid of fireworks – False!

"I love fireworks and to this day, the second a fireworks stand opens near my house – and it always is like a day or two before my birthday – I go. I always sweat it out that they're not going to open for my birthday, especially when I was a kid."

Janel Parrish Reacts to Carrie Ann Inaba Saying She 'Gives Good Sex' (VIDEO)

It was meant to be a compliment. No, really.

Carrie Ann Inaba was blown away, as all the judges were, by Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy's amazing, jazzy send-up of West Side Story during Monday's episode of Dancing with the Stars .

But during the critique afterward, Inaba's phrasing got a little strange, as she told the Pretty Little Liars star, in the midst of an otherwise professional review, that she "gives good sex."

The audience laughed, and Inaba quickly backtracked. But how did Parrish and Chmerkovskiy feel about that?

PEOPLE caught up with them after the show, where Parrish, 25, was giving Inaba the benefit of the doubt – though Chmerkovskiy, 28, seemed more skeptical.

Check out the Inaba's full commentary and their response in the video below, so you can judge for yourself.

John Cusack: Hollywood Is 'Brutal' for Women

Want to see the underbelly of the movie business? John Cusack will show you.

With 76 credited roles under his belt, Cusack knows the lights and darks of Hollywood, and his experience – along with that of screenwriter Bruce Wagner – enables him to sketch a grim portrait of the industry in the new film, Maps to the Stars.

Cusack has been a household name since the release of Say Anything 25 years ago, and he says he'll have the privilege of performing for awhile longer.

"I got another 15, 20 years before they say I'm old. For women it's brutal. Bruce [Wagner's] thing about if you're 26, you're menopausal? It's only absurd because it's a little bit further than the truth," the actor, 48, tells The Guardian .

"I have actress friends who are being put out to pasture at 29. They just want to open up another can of hot 22. It's becoming almost like kiddie porn. It's f–––––– weird."

Maps to the Stars also features Robert Pattinson, who Cusack says has healthy instincts in his career choices. Cusack adds that young Hollywood doesn't receive enough mentoring from more experienced actors, as he did when he began.

"People would look after you when I was a kid," he says. "There were good people in the business. When I came to L.A., Rob Reiner said: 'Come stay at my house.' He taught me. I worked with Pacino [in the 1996 crime drama City Hall]. Pacino would talk to you and mentor you. Now it's different. The culture just eats young actors up and spits them out. It's a hard thing to survive without finding safe harbour."

"You can't make it up," says Cusack of the film's authenticity. "It's a whorehouse and people go mad."

Antifreeze Poisoning Trial: Texas Doctor Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison

Dr. Ana Maria Gonzalez-Angulo has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for poisoning her colleague and lover.

The Houston cancer researcher, 43, was convicted of aggravated assault on Friday for lacing Dr. George Blumenschein's coffee with ethylene glycerol, a sweet-tasting chemical commonly found in antifreeze. The two worked together at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Prosecutors asked the jury to sentence Gonzalez-Angulo to a minimum of 30 years in prison, claiming the case should be treated as a murder trial, according to NBC News.

Blumenschein, 50, did survive the poisoning, but his kidney function has been reduced by 60 percent as a result of the ethylene glycerol.

The doctor believes Gonzalez-Angulo became violent when he chose to break off his affair with her in favor of his longtime girlfriend, Dr. Evette Toney.

Toney testified that the 43-year-old's obsession with her boyfriend started to become especially unsettling in 2012.

"I purchased a watch for George, a Luminox. She purchased the exact same watch for herself," Toney said. "I purchased some luggage for George. She purchased the exact same luggage for herself."

Ultimately, Blumenschein and Toney were satisfied with the outcome of the trial, reports KHOU 11 News .

"At least they can sleep easy for the next 10 years while she's incarcerated," said prosecutor Nathan Hennigan.

"Clearly, we are disappointed with this verdict," added defense attorney Derek Hollingsworth. "She's very emotional. She's very sad. But she's also a tough woman."

The defense plans to file an appeal.

Michael Phelps Arrested for DUI: Report

Olympic champion Michael Phelps was arrested for DUI in Baltimore early Tuesday morning, according to multiple reports.

According to the Baltimore Sun , the celebrated gold medalist, 29, was pulled over around 1:40 a.m. for going 84 mph in a 45 mph zone just outside the Fort McHenry Tunnel in his white Range Rover.

An officer followed him through the tunnel and pulled him over. He then failed a field sobriety test.

"Mr. Phelps ... was unable to perform satisfactorily a series of standard field sobriety tests," police said in a statement, adding that he was cooperative.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ, which first reported the news, that Phelps's blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit. He was reportedly charged with driving under the influence, excessive speeding and crossing lane lines.

The site reports that Phelps was taken to a local police station and booked for DUI before being released.

This is Phelps's second DUI arrest. The 22-time Olympic medalist was also busted for DUI in 2004 at age 19.

"I made a mistake," he said shortly after his initial arrest. "Getting in a car with anything to drink is wrong, dangerous and unacceptable. I'm 19 but was taught no matter how old you are, you should always take responsibility for your actions, which I will do."

After four decades with AC/DC, Malcolm Young, the group's guitarist and founding member, is not returning to the band.

"Malcolm is suffering from dementia and the family thanks you for respecting their privacy," his family said in a statement to PEOPLE.

In April, the group announced that Young was taking a break due to ill health.

"Malcolm would like to thank the group's diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support," AC/DC wrote on its website at the time.

In December, the group will release its 17th studio album, Rock or Bust, which is the first without Young in the group's 41 years together.

"Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm's condition, he will not be returning to the band," according to a recent statement from the group.

"AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of Rock or Bust in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on Rock or Bust and will accompany the band on tour."

Go Inside Amal Alamuddin's Final Gown Fitting with Oscar de la Renta! (PHOTO)

09/30/2014 at 10:40 AM ET

Amal Alamuddin told PEOPLE that her wedding gown designer, Oscar de la Renta, is “such an elegant designer and such an elegant man.” And she had plenty of time to discover that for herself. The lawyer and brand-new Mrs. George Clooney, 36, made multiple trips to the designer’s N.Y.C. atelier to be fitted for her custom lace ballgown — culminating in the final fitting, which was captured by Vogue.

Courtesy Vogue

“George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic and elegant, and I can’t imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood in a dress,” Alamuddin says in the Vogue profile of her fitting. “Meeting him made the design process all the more magical, as he is so warm and such a gentleman.”

He also gives excellent advice: In the story, it’s revealed that (after consulting with Alamuddin on favorite silhouettes and looks), he steered her towards the finished result: an off-the-shoulder ivory tulle confection with a long train, covered in 14 yards of Chantilly lace appliqué and a hand-embellished finish. (The long veil also featured some of the same lace-and-beading details.)

RELATED: From the meaningful earrings to the elegant veil, all the details on Amal’s wedding gown!

De la Renta’s head tailor, Raffaele Ilardo, was also on hand for the fitting, and Alamuddin conversed with him about the details of the dress in French after Ilardo told her the unfinished neckline was meant to be “un peu impur.” She also spoke to her mother, Baria (on hand, along with sister Tala, for the final fitting) in Arabic before trying on her Oscar de la Renta dress, a silver beaded mini from his Fall 2014 collection, meant to be worn for the dancing at the reception. And about this, the elegant, 82-year-old designer says (in English), “You look hot!” No wonder Alamuddin says “he is the man every woman wants to hug.”

See Who Has a Bob, Who Is Now a Brunette and More Celebrity Hair Changes

Thanks to that little celebrity wedding that went down this weekend (wink, wink), you might have missed all the star hair updates that happened at the same time. Here’s all the mane news you need to know about.

Nicki Minaj had some fun switching up her look, debuting a super-short bob style with bangs on her Instagram.

“Thx 4 my makeup Uzo💋 short bob by oscar💋 bra by my crazy “mother” Rushka 👅👅👅 #ItsASecret,” she captioned the above photo (left) which also showed off her top-half curves (should we expect an updated version of “Anaconda” sometime soon?). A follow-up photo confirmed that it was, in fact, a wig, but she should keep rocking it — it’s a fun look for her.

Suki Waterhouse left her signature blonde shade behind for a rich chestnut hue. The supermodel also looks to have gotten a cut while at the salon with a few more wispy bangs. “Thank you for my hairsformation @nevillesalon @jackhoward_srh and @stephentlow 😃❤️❤️,” she captioned her transformation on Instagram, praising her London-based colorist Jack Howard.

For her performance at the Global Citizens Festival in N.Y.C. alongside husband Jay Z, Beyoncé debuted some very glam bangs, which we’re pretty sure are clip-ins (considering Bey doesn’t rock the same hairstyle two days in a row).

And lastly, Kylie Jenner may be returning to her colorful tresses, as she posted a shot on Instagram with blue tips one again. The star’s mega-long extensions have been her for about a month now (which is an eternity for the hair chameleon) so we’re eagerly waiting for her next big switch-up.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 'I Am an Incurable Romantic'

By Linda Marx

09/30/2014 AT 10:25 AM EDT

This hoofer is kicking up his heels.

After winning the coveted mirror-ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars with Olympic gold medalist Meryl Davis earlier this year, Maksim Chmerkovskiy knew it was time to move on professionally, if not personally.

"I am more than dancing," Chmerkovskiy, 34, told PEOPLE on Saturday at the Alfalit International Global Literacy Dinner in Miami, where he donated a private dance lesson for four.

"I was a dancing pro on the show for about a decade, and I needed the trophy to show for it. But Meryl was part of that," he said. "And while I am doing other things, Meryl is a close friend and has become very important in my life. We have new projects together."

Now studying to become an actor, expanding his Dance With Me Dance Studios – he recently opened his sixth location in Los Angeles and has 25 more on the drawing board – and designing his bold and masculine MAKSIM line of jewelry, the dancer and choreographer still finds time for sexy, sporty women.

"I am a hopeless romantic who falls in lust and gets in trouble," he said. "I love my work and am very productive, yet I always find time to play."

Talk of his rumored relationship with superstar performer Jennifer Lopez makes him smile.

"Yes, she's great, I have fun," he said without elaborating. "And while other names are out there ... I am not a scumbag."

And though Chmerkovskiy is missed by female fans of DWTS, he says he's been too busy to decide if he will hang up his Dancing shoes forever.

"I still watch the show, because it is part of me and will be 50 years from now," he said. "Winning was a huge portion of a big chunk of my life. I am not sure if I will return or in what capacity. Time will tell."

Body of Missing Arkansas Realtor Is Found

Police found the body of Beverly Carter on Tuesday morning, just days after the missing Arkansas real estate agent disappeared while showing a house to a prospective customer, authorities confirm to PEOPLE.

Officers from the Pulaski County Sheriff's office arrested 33-year-old Aaron Lewis and interviewed him for 12 hours on Monday.

Early Tuesday morning, Carter's body was found about 25 miles away from where she was last seen. Police have charged Lewis with capital murder. He is being held on $1 million bond.

Authorities have not publicly stated whether Lewis was the prospective buyer of the house, or if he knew Carter before she disappeared on Thursday.

During his walk from the Sheriff's Office to the jail, Lewis made a few comments to the assembled media.

"Sorry to the family," he said at one point.

Carter, 49, is survived by her husband of more than 30 years, Carl. She had two grown sons and four grandchildren. A fifth grandchild was on the way.

The family has been left reeling from their sudden loss.

"We are incredibly heartbroken," they wrote on their Find Beverly Facebook page. "Thank you all SO MUCH for spending hours researching, walking through fields and spreading the word so fast about Beverly Lyn Carter's abduction. No words. #WeWearRed still today because we love her. #FindBeverly #RememberBeverly"

Neil Patrick Harris Talks About His Wedding, Stripping Down for Hedwig and Gone Girl (VIDEO)

By Alex Heigl

@alex_heigl

Neil Patrick Harris achieved a rare Late Show hat trick Monday night.

The actor was on hand to talk about his own Italian wedding, which took place earlier this month at a castle near Perugia. ("Take that, George Clooney!" Harris said kiddingly.)

The ceremony featured a performance by Elton John, who also introduced Harris and David Burtka's first dance – soundtracked to Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This," it featured an expertly timed fireworks display.

Harris's interview got a little more risqué when he started discussing his Tony-winning run in Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

When Letterman noted that Harris's performance including spitting water on an audience member, Harris added that there was a fair amount of "dry-humping," as well. Letterman asked if "the Tony people" knew about that, causing Harris to quip, "That's how I won the award, Dave."

Conversation also touched upon a sex scene in one of Harris's films, at which point Letterman jotted down a note: "Shagging, dry-humping, bare a--: It's the hat trick. You got 'em all in. Never happened before."

Harris next appears in David Fincher's Gone Girl, which also stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. The film opens Oct. 3.

George Clooney's Wedding Tux: See An Exclusive Sketch and Get All the Details!

The groom wore Armani! For his September 27 wedding to Amal Alamuddin, George Clooney showed loyalty to a label he loves. The actor, 53, selected a custom tuxedo designed by close friend Giorgio Armani, and PEOPLE has the exclusive sketch of his classic black tie look.

So what exactly was Clooney wearing to greet his bride at the top of the aisle? A black tuxedo from Armani’s Made to Measure collection consisting of a ultra-fine wool cashmere blend, paired with a white shirt, black bow tie and oxfords in smooth, brushed black leather. And he pulled it off in his signature dapper style.

“For more than two decades, George has been a dear friend and an honorary Italian,” the designer tells PEOPLE in a statement. “I admire him for his warm personality and strong character, and of course for his great talent as an actor, director and producer. It is a privilege and a pleasure for me to dress him for this occasion, in which he stars in the most important role: that of the groom. I created an all-Italian wardrobe; it’s tailored and refined, without being overdone.”

Clooney and his barrister bride, 36, married in Venice, Italy, in front of their family and friends. The actor, who has worn Armani suits on many red carpets, says it was a natural fit to collaborate with Giorgio once again.

“He’s the class act of all class acts,” Clooney tells PEOPLE of the designer. “He’s been a good friend for many years, and the night wouldn’t be complete without him.” Case in point? To make the tux extra-special for his friend, the Italian designer stitched Clooney’s name inside (see below).

Courtesy Armani

Armani also created four other suits for the groom for other wedding weekend events: three in gray and one in navy blue, with a single-breasted blue coat to top them all. Additionally, several members of the wedding party (including the couple’s fathers, Nick Clooney and Ramzi Alamuddin) wore Armani Made to Measure ensembles in a “two-button tuxedo silhouette with notch lapels in ultra-fine wool/cashmere and flat front trousers with satin details, worn with white shirt, bow tie and classic black brushed leather shoes.”

“When I met George in the ’90s, I immediately took a great liking to him. He is not only brilliant, but also a man with great values,” Armani said. “George is genuinely charismatic and eclectic. One minute he is a prankster who enjoys joking around, while the next an authoritative spokesman for philanthropic initiatives. It will be a great honor to dress him for his next big role … that as a husband.”

When Emmy Rossum turned 28 on Sept. 12, she went all out in true Shameless style.

"I ate too much," Rossum told PEOPLE at the Rape Foundation's Annual Brunch in Beverly Hills on Saturday. "There were seven cakes. Seven cakes over the weekend. But that's what birthdays are supposed to be!"

Looking fantastic in a Lyn Devon dress and Louboutin shoes at the brunch (which raised funds for the Stuart House, a rape treatment center in Los Angeles), you'd never guess that Rossum had recently downed so much dessert.

"But then I went to Soul Cycle, so that's fine," she said, laughing.

Rossum also celebrated her birthday with the other sweet in her life, her boyfriend, writer and director Sam Esmail.

"We went to the opera and saw Traviata. And then we had a dinner party at my house. It was nine girls and my boyfriend," Rossum added. "Poor thing, or lucky him."

Either way, Rossum says her birthdays are going to change going forward.

"I hate aging," she said. "I'm going to start celebrating the anniversary of my 21st birthday from now on!"

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's Intimate Wedding Album Appears in PEOPLE

After George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin exchanged traditional vows, platinum bands and, yes, a lengthy kiss at their 30-minute wedding ceremony on Sept. 27 in Venice, Italy, the newlyweds turned to their family and friends.

And the place went wild.

Cheers and applause filled the gilded hall at Italy's historic Aman Canal Grande Venice as around 100 guests, many with tears in their eyes, celebrated the much-anticipated union of the Oscar winner and his barrister bride.

The intimate wedding – including 25 exclusive photos of the emotional ceremony, star-studded parties and all the sweet candid moments – is featured in this week's issue of PEOPLE, in conjunction with Hello! magazine internationally.

Marriage, Clooney, 53, tells PEOPLE, "feels pretty damn great."

"George and Amal radiated love all night," Alamuddin's mother Baria tells PEOPLE. "The wedding was so unbelievably special, it was legendary. These three days – the friends, the families, the atmosphere, everything – will stay with me all the rest of my life."

One of four loved ones to deliver heartfelt speeches during the short ceremony, Baria, an editor at the Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat, addressed Clooney at one point. "I said, 'George, we love you truly, deeply and sincerely. We enjoy your charm, your wit, intelligent conversation and generosity. You are simply perfect.' "

His tux wasn't so bad either. Created by Giorgio Armani as part of his Made to Measure collection, the black tuxedo in ultra-fine wool/cashmere was paired with a white shirt, black bow tie and oxfords in smooth, brushed black leather. (To finish off his look, Clooney wore customized cufflinks, a gift from his bride, with "George" inscribed in Arabic.)

"It is a privilege and a pleasure for me to dress him for this occasion, in which he stars in the most important role: that of the groom," Armani tells PEOPLE.

"[Giorgio is] the class act of all class acts," the actor says. "He's been a good friend for many years and the night wouldn't be complete without him."

Of course nothing could upstage the bride, stunning in a custom Oscar de la Renta French lace wedding gown, hand-embroidered with pearls and diamanté accents, featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and a full circular train.

"He's such an elegant designer and such an elegant man," Alamuddin, 36, tells PEOPLE.

With three days of parties followed by a civil ceremony, the festivities took center stage in Venice, which the actor calls "the most romantic city in the world" and a natural choice for their wedding locale. "We met in Italy," says Clooney, who has long owned an estate on Lake Como. "We have a home there. We knew that was where we wanted to get married."

While the guest list included famous pals like Matt Damon and Bono, the couple kept the celebration intimate and sentimental. They tapped Nora Sagal, the daughter of friends, to sing the Irving Berlin standard Always at the ceremony – which happened to be the song Clooney's parents, Nick and Nina, danced to at their wedding – and Cole Porter's "Why Shouldn't I?" for their first dance at the reception.

As Nick Clooney said in his speech during the ceremony, "George and Amal present us with ... belief that in this place and at this moment, love is alive and well."

The bride's close friend Jae Kim couldn't agree more. "I had never seen her smile like that," Kim said sweetly during the ceremony of witnessing her Alamuddin find the love of her life. "She has had that smile now for almost a year straight!"

Besides the afterglow of an unforgettable weekend, did the guests take anything home? "Other than a hangover? Yes," cracks Clooney, whose favors included iPods loaded with a playlist chosen by the couple.

And what's next for the newlyweds after a brief honeymoon? Quite simply, Clooney tells PEOPLE, "We're looking forward to everything."

Walmart Claims Tracy Morgan Wasn't Wearing Seatbelt in Crash

Walmart is denying responsibility for a car crash involving one of its truck drivers and comedian Tracy Morgan, which left Morgan seriously injured and a fellow passenger dead.

Morgan – along with his assistant Jeffrey Millea, his wife Krista Millea, and comedian Ardie Fuqua – filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey against the retail giant in July. The lawsuit states that Walmart had its driver working under "unreasonable" conditions – it claims the driver had been awake for over 24 hours and that he fell asleep at the wheel, which caused the collision.

"As a result of Walmart's gross, reckless, willful, wanton, and intentional conduct, it should be appropriately punished with the imposition of punitive damages," stated the complaint.

Walmart filed a response to Morgan's lawsuit on Monday, denying culpability for the accident.

According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, the company states that Morgan's complaint "fails to set forth any facts which are sufficient to support a direct and/or vicarious claim of negligence as to Walmart." It also states that "the damages about which plaintiffs complain were not proximately caused by any authorized actions by Walmart and/or its employees, agents, servants or representatives."

Furthermore, it alleges that any injuries that were sustained during the crash "were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs' failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device."

Walmart is now requesting a written statement specifying the amount of damages alleged in the complaint, and is demanding a trial by jury.

Morgan, 45, has been struggling since coming out of rehab in mid-July. His lawyer, Benedict P. Morelli, told PEOPLE last month that the comedian was "really having a tough time” with his recovery.

Morgan's rep did not respond to a request for comment.

Who Was Sent Home on Dancing with the Stars?

Even on a night that saw two perfect scores on Dancing with the Stars, someone still had to leave the ballroom for good.

Sadly, Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff began the night knowing they were in jeopardy. Based on scores from viewers and the judges last week, the duo became the third couple to leave the dance floor.

"It's been a great experience, putting myself out there and trying something new," said Couture.

Besides a roof-raising appearance by guest judge Kevin Hart, lots of other fun surprises happened underneath the mirror ball Monday. Here were the scores:

Couture and Smirnoff. The couple paid tribute to the Rocky franchise with a paso doble that included lots of high kicks and a few air punches. But some of the judges didn't like the fighter's timing. "What happened to that strong charming leading man from week one?" asked Judge Julianne Hough. "I'm all for energy, but you need shaping and timing," added Judge Bruno Tonioli. Score: 26 out of 40

Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson. Despite having a partner that whines about having to carry her partner's "fat ass," Ribeiro's quickstep to the Austin Powers soundtrack was smashing, baby. "Doctor Evil is very pleased," said Tonioli. "You murdered that, brother," added Hart. Score: 32

Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani. The designer got to show off her mad splits in a contemporary – and very flexible – ditty to the Ghost theme. "You have courage beyond belief," said Judge Carrie Ann Inaba. "You tell that 21-year-old girl that I just saw that I got the hots for her," added Hart. Score: 29

Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev. Predictably, the couple performed the cha-cha to the "Power of Love" from Back to the Future – and her gams looked out of this world. "It was the power of Lea on splendid display," said Tonioli. Score: 31

Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater. In a shout-out to Robin Hood, the race car driver's waltz wasn't half bad – despite the bad hat. "That was your best dance ever," Hough said. "I saw you pointed at me. You wanted to win me over," said Hart. "It worked!" Score: 28

Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Cheryl Burke . The duo that started the night in jeopardy fox-trotted their way into Hart's good graces. "You executed, brother," he said. Score: 29

Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas. In an ode to Up, the couple performed an adorable waltz that ended with the Duck Dynasty gal floating away. "So far tonight, that was my favorite dance," said Inaba. "Totally and utterly charmed," admitted Tonioli. Score: 32

Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker. The couple's Great Gatsby tango was crisp and smooth. "I was wrapped into your moment," said Hart. Score: 32

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy. A brilliant send-up to West Side Story resulted in a jazz number that blew away the judges. "I felt like I was watching a full-on Broadway show," said Hough. "This is your star-making turn," added Tonioli. Score: 40

Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd. The original stoner rocked in a three-piece suit while dancing a smashing Argentine tango. "You are the real deal," said Inaba. Score: 34

Bethany Mota and Derek Hough. The tribute to Singing in the Rain was a jazzy mix of open-and-closing umbrellas and rain onstage! "Mission impossible? Mission complete," said Inaba. "You literally didn't miss a step," Hough added. Score: 40

That's one purchase that paid off!

Years after winning a mistakenly identified painting at an auction, Sopranos star Federico Castelluccio discovered the artwork was worth millions.

A painter himself, and an expert in Baroque European art, Castelluccio won the piece, which at the time of sale was incorrectly labeled as an 18th-century Italian holy painting of Saint Sebastian. Actually completed by the artist Guercino circa 1632-34, Castelluccio told The New York Post , "They had no idea who painted this."

After having the piece authenticated by experts who used infrared reflectography, X-rays and chemical testing of the pigment, as well as shelling out thousands to have it restored, Castelluccio (who played a hitman named Furio in the hit HBO show) could now get millions for his find.

While the image hasn't been publicly on display for 350 years, it will appear next at the "Saint Sebastian: Beauty and Integrity in Art Between the 15th and the 17th Centuries" exhibit in Turin, Italy, beginning Oct. 4.

First, the good news: Things are heating up between Robert Pattinson and British singer FKA twigs.

They stepped out in Hollywood last week, looking casual and relaxed together. As a friend of the actor tells PEOPLE, "He is smitten."

But as the couple gets cozier, some fans of the Twilight star have gone on the attack, sending racist and hateful Tweets. twigs, whose debut album LP1 was released in August, has borne the brunt of the insults.

On Sunday, twigs (Real name: Tahliah Barnett) finally spoke out about the vitriol.

"I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week," the 28-year-old singer Tweeted. "Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online."

It's not the first time that twigs, who is half Jamaican and half Spanish, has dealt with taunts about her race.

As the only mixed-race girl in her school, "people said horrible things about something I had no control of, which was tough," she told Dazed . "Half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life, I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating. Everything neutralizes."
