Well, by now you know America's favorite octagenarian Cloris Leachman was booted off Dancing With The Stars, and Cloris didn't take it in stride, saying "I'm not leaving. I'm going to get a pretty costume and be here next week."

Cloris, bubbeleh, just rest at home and take the best offer! Cloris, who's had a fantastic career in which she's won more Primetime Emmys (eight) than any other female actress, and also has a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the mantelpiece, seems to be the hot new "It Girl" after a half-century in the biz -- according to Page Six of The New York Post, Leachman's had tons of interest since DWTS started, including offers for a part in Tarantino's upcoming flick, and a one-woman show. But perhaps the best news is that Leachman might get to reprise her role as Frau Blucher in the Broadway production of Young Frankenstein. She was rejected at first by Brooks, who thought, despite an excellent audition, that she was too old for the wear-and-tear of a daily Broadway musical. Guess some sambas viewed by millions made her look a whole lot younger.
