They don’t call her the Ice Madam for nothin’….The new season of Dancing With The Stars likely won’t put an end to Kate Gosselin’s reputation as a chilly and tough as nails Melrose Place supermeanie.

Gosselin is one of 12 C-list celebs who will be showing off their fancy footwork on the upcoming 10th season of DWTS, and show snitches tattle that the reality Octomom has gone out of her way to treat her fellow competitors with disrespect.

“Kate doesn’t want anything to do with other contestants . . . While there’s a lot of camaraderie among the crew and other stars including Pamela Anderson, Kate has set herself apart . . . She wants to be queen bee,” blabs one tipster.

Dancing With The Stars — featuring Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, The Bachelor Jake Pavelka, and ex-Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson — premieres March 22 @ 8 PM on ABC.

Is Jessica Simpson about to lose her “mane man?”

We hear VH1 execs were none to pleased with hairstylist-to-the-stars Ken Paves and his uninvited scene-stealing on the blonde bombshell’s new network reality show, The Price of Beauty. The show — which sees Jessica jet-setting around the globe to examine how various cultures value beauty — features Simpson’s pals, Casey Cobb and Paves. However, VH1 — popular for its celebrity-driven docusoaps — could have done without Jessie’s bestie.

Former Bachelor contestant Rozlyn Papa is not the woman featured in sex tape being shopped around Hollywood, a porn star has claimed.

On Wednesday, 15-second video debuted on Pornhub.com that featured a Papa lookalike performing oral sex on well-hung adult film Lexington Steele. However, Steele recently stepped forward to ensure Bachelor fanatics that his partner in the X-rated film is not the 29-year-old single mom they know and loathe.

“I feel for Rozlyn, because that is not her. The girl in the video is from the Czech Republic, all of the girls in this release were shot on location in Prague. That girl has never traveled to the United States of America,” Steele told E! Online Thursday.

Papa’s rep has consistently denied that her client is the blonde featured in the footage.

“I’ve seen the tape. Anyone who has met her once would know it’s not her. The woman has a different body, hands, face, everything,” says Stacie Vanchieri.

Papa sparked one of the biggest scandals in the show’s season history when she allegedly had a romantic relationship with a series producer while competing for the heart of pilot Jake Pavelka last season.

Either Hell has finally frozen over or Hollywood jobs are now easier to come by than ice-cold lemonade on a warm summer day: Heidi Montag has been cast in her first film.

Just allow that to marinate for a sec….

“I was just cast in my first feature film comedy! I start filming monday!!!!!” the surgically-altered blonde Tweeted excitedly on Thursday afternoon, adding,“This is one of the best days of my life!!! getting icecream to celebrate”

And if you think one-half of reality TV’s Terrible Twosome is going straight-to-DVD, get this: Access Hollywood has learned that Mrs. Speidi has been cast in a cameo role in the upcoming Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy, Just Go With It, hitting theaters next Valentine’s Day. The flick will also feature Sports Illustrated covergirl Brooklyn Decker and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman.

The feature is about a man (Sandler) who convinces a single mom (Aniston) to pretend to be his soon-to-be-divorced wife so that he can win over the woman he loves (Decker).

Heidi will begin shooting her role in the Sony/Columbia rom-com next week. The news comes the same day that Heidi announced she was firing her husband Spencer Pratt as her manager and hiring a Malibu-based psychic.

Billy Corgan has chatised John Mayer for his infamous comment about sex with Jessica Simpson in the February issue of Playboy. Mayer became the subject of public scorn after he referred to the ditzy blonde — who he dated from 2005-2007 — as “sexual napalm” with a sexual appetite as addictive as “crack cocaine.”

In an interview outtake from last week’s Rolling Stone Magazine, Corgan lights into Mayer, arguing that the “Clarity” crooner should have “kept his mouth shut.”

“He’s trying to destroy his career. Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up,” the former Smashing Pumpkins frontman spat. “Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.”

“I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on,” he adds. “There’s things that should just be left alone.”

We hear about school administrators making insane decisions quite a bit, and this time it’s no different. A seventh grade student in Indiana has been suspended for a week. The offense? Saying no to drugs.

Another kid approached Rachel in a locker room with some Adderall pills and put one in her hand. Rachel did what she was always taught to do — she refused it and gave it back. The Adderall pusher got caught and Rachel was asked to cooperate in the investigation, which she did. She wrote a witness statement, in which she described being offered the drug, having it placed in her hand and giving it back.

School administrators say they’re sorry, but touching a drug constitutes possession and the five-day suspension is mandatory. Rules are rules.
