Just four days until the royal wedding of the century! Kevin Frazier and Sharon Osbourne are outside Buckingham Palace with Princess Diana 's former psychic...

Then, the Princess Diana and Prince William Backstory -- with rare home movies.

And after being in jeopardy, could "Dancing with the Stars" contender Kirstie Alley be heading home this week?

Plus, inside Romeo 's top-secret dance rehearsal -- and the top 10 dancing movies of all time. Next "Insider"!

Susan Lucci has kept her head high following the announcement of the cancellation of "All My Children," and she dished on the show's last months at her Florida book signing over the weekend.

"It's horrible and it's sad and disappointing, but we're on for five more months," said Susan. "And the best thing the fans can do is watch, because Lorraine Broderick and Agnes Nixon (both longtime writers on the program) are at the helm and we are in the best of hands."

The end of "All My Children" may have been just as surprising to the actress as her memoirs, as Susan revealed, "It's something I never thought I would do, because I have always been very private."

Susan explained that in spite of receiving many requests from book publishers wanting to sell her life story, it was her son who finally convinced her to take the plunge.

The Emmy winner called the book an "amazing opportunity to speak to so many generations of fans."

All My Life: A Memoir is available now. You can catch Susan on new episodes of the ABC soap opera "All My Children" until the show's final episode in September.

In the animated feature 'Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil,' Hayden Panettiere reprises her role as Red Riding Hood in the irreverent take on fairytales.

"There's all of these characters that you're so familiar with and it puts this modern spin on it," said Hayden, who dubbed her character as a "kick-butt version of Little Red Riding Hood."

David Alan Grier plays a bridge troll in the movie and he embellished on his character's involvement.

"My character is pretty much the most pivotal part of this film," David joked at the Tribeca movie screening on Saturday. "I know actors always say that 'It's about me,' but this time it really is."

The movie actually revolves around secret agent Red Riding Hood who gets called to investigate the disappearance of Hansel and Gretel.

Amy Poehler stars in the movie as Gretel and she dished on what makes Little Red Riding Hood's story so interesting, saying, "There's inherent drama and a female protaganist and woods and wolves. I think that describes like 80-percent of the movies that most teenagers are into these days."

'Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil' opens April 29.

Day 8 - Sugar rush! I got my fix at the Tate & Lyle Sugars' "Let Them Eat Cake" first ever edible royal wedding cake exhibition where world-class chefs replicated the historic towers of sweetness dating back to the Henry VII , which had black birds flying out of it.

Check out the video to see the unconventional traditions of the past and it does involve a bit of cake throwing.

As for the royal couple, Professor Roland Rotherham told me that Prince William and Kate Middleton will have several cakes, including a traditional fruit cake and a dark chocolate cake filled with rich tea biscuits, known as digestives in the UK. There will also be a private wedding cake for the royal couple.

Season 12 of "Dancing with the Stars" has been one of the closest competitions the show has ever seen, and Romeo might be feeling the pressure.

"I'm thinking about sabotaging the cast," Romeo joked with "The Insider" correspondent Christina McLarty . "I can't take the chance of me getting a top score and getting voted off regardless."

Romeo kidded that Hines Ward would be his primary target. "I think I'm going to wear a Green Bay [Packers] jersey or something, come in there and bust his ego."

Romeo also revealed his sincere thoughts of inviting some celebrity friends to his performances including Justin Bieber , Will Smith and Michael Jordan . "I got a few tricks up my sleeve," said Romeo.

On Monday, Romeo and pro partner Chelsie Hightower will dance a romantic waltz, causing Romeo to unveil his softer side.

TheInsider.com's Nicole Dabeau visited London's premiere pub, The Punch Bowl, sitting down for a drink with the pub's owner, nightclub entrepreneur Piers Adams .

At 300 years old, The Punch Bowl is the oldest remaining pub in the oldest part of London, Mayfair.

"It's a traditional pub," said Adams, who owns several nightclubs and bars in England, but favors The Punch Bowl over all. "It's every Englishman's dream to own his own pub." Adams acquired this dream along with his business partner Guy Ritchie .

The Punch Bowl takes pride in more than just their beer, offering "the best food you will find in a pub in London."

Jumping back to April 23, 2001, 'Shrek' was about to make its world premiere in Los Angeles.

The cast for the original film walked the carpet and chatted with reporters before heading inside to screen the film for the first time.

Mike Myers talked about where the inspiration for Shrek's accent came from, saying that he thought of how the character would sound if he was Scottish, but lived in Canada for twenty years.

Cameron Diaz spoke before entering the theater saying that she had just met co-stars Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy for the first time, two days prior to the premiere. The audio tracks for each character were recorded separately over a period of eight months as the actors' schedules conflicted with each other.

'Shrek' went on to gross over $260 million stateside, and spawned three sequels.

Could Kirstie Alley 's "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy be married?

And Kate Middleton 's family scandal involving cocaine on the next "Insider."

Taking a short trip back to April 22, 2004, the cast of the CBS show "CSI: NY" was in the middle of a photo shoot to promote their new show, which would premiere on September 22, 2004.

Gary Sinise , Melina Kanakaredes , Carmine Giovinazzo , Vanessa Ferlito , and Hill Harper all gathered together on the set of their show for this photo shoot.

In an interview on the set, Melina Kanakaredes, who played Det. Stella Bonasera , said that she felt like the show would work, despite "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "CSI: Miami" already being on the air.

"God willing," Kanakaredes said. "Third time's a charm, isn't that what they say?"

"CSI: NY" is now in its seventh season.

The ladies were safe this time around as boos were audible from the crowd when Stefano Langone was eliminated from "American Idol."

Luck wasn't kind to Stefano, as he and fellow contestant Jacob Lusk were in the bottom two. The confident singer seemed to accept his fate with a smile and sense of accomplishment while rocker James Durbin expressed his emotion for his pal leaving by bear-hugging Stefano as he finished his farewell number.

From L.A. to the U.K., our favorite celebs are out on the town in this edition of GPS!

First, check out Robert Pattinson as he gets mobbed by fans in Hollywood after leaving the " Jimmy Kimmel Live! " studios last night.

Russell Brand and Jennifer Hudson were both spotted taking pictures with admirers outside of BBC Radio One yesterday.

Bradley Cooper , Tom Hanks , Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman were all seen as they departed Staples Center in Los Angeles after a Lakers playoff game win against the New Orleans Hornets last night.

Gwyneth Paltrow returned to "Glee" this week, and we're time warping back to when she was just the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow , working to get her big break!

After appearing opposite John Travolta in 'Shout' in 1991 and as the young Wendy in Steven Spielberg 's 'Hook' the same year, Gwyneth landed a role playing the daughter of mom Blythe's character in the 1992 TV movie "Cruel Doubt," based on the true story of a family torn apart by the tragic murder of the father -- which may involve their own son.

"She's good at helping me and breaking me in and giving me advice," said Gwyneth about her mom. "You know, occasionally when she screams across the set for me to, like, take my vitamins, I could do without that, but other than that, it's great. I love her."

The stars were out in full force at the Evening of Cocktails and Shopping event hosted by Coach in Santa Monica, last night. Although the spirit of charity was at the forefront, everyone had quite a bit to say about the emerging rumors of anorexia plaguing future princess,

Sparked by a recent photograph depicting a very thin looking Kate, questions of whether she had lost too much weight are starting to hit the internet, newspapers, and various media outlets.

When shown the photograph in question, a very pregnant Selma Blair defended Kate, calling her "healthy and beautiful" looking. Taraji P Henson agreed, saying that she "looks fine" to her, adding, Kate "looks healthy".

Shapely "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks - who is well known for embracing her curves - says of the scandalous reports, "It's not my job to comment on someone's weight. If she's happy, she's happy."

Michelle Monaghan took a long look at the photo, and concluded that Kate "looks like a princess, she's beautiful."

Watch the video to hear more of what the stars had to say on the matter.

Reese Witherspoon managed to keep her wedding to agent Jim Toth last month an extremely private affair, however this this afternoon on "Ellen," the newlywed spilled some surprising new details.

In a move that had her re-discovering her Louisiana roots, Reese tells Ellen that after four hours of post-nuptial dancing, she was forced to lose the "awful, uncomfortable shoes" and "[change] into cowboy boots."

In keeping with the theme, Reese says she had both a DJ and a band playing "tons and tons of country music" because she's "a big country music fan."
