Saved by a reality show!?

Dancing With the Stars may have saved Jennifer Grey's life! The Dirty Dancing star, who is featured in the new season, tells E!Online her doc discovered cancerous nodules in her neck during a medical exam required by the show.

The nodules have been removed, and Grey is cleared to do the show.

Another mess for LiLo?

Ex-con Lindsay Lohan, 24, participating in a court-ordered program to stay sober, may be in a spot of trouble.

RadarOnline says LiLo drove her Maserati into a woman pushing a toddler in a stroller. (Seems she lightly tapped the pedestrian.)

Story continues below.

LiLo didn't stop.

People cites witnesses who say the car never touched the pedestrian.

No comment from LiLo.

Musical tough love

R&B singer Ne-Yo dished out some tough love for hip-hop star T.I., who was busted this week with wife Tameka Cottle on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines. T.I. already has served a prison sentence on gun charges.

"I just feel that he makes a lot of poor decisions when it comes to the people that he surrounds himself with," Ne-Yo says. (But T.I. was with his wife!) Adds Ne-Yo: "You've been given a bunch of different chances. . . . Now is the time to really go."

A success - in porn

Laurence Fishburne's daughter Montana, 18, has the best-selling hard-core porn title currently on the market, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Montana has angered Dad because of her career choices - and outspoken defense of porn. She says she wants to use the flick as a stepping-stone to fame and fortune.

Her inspiration? Kim Kardashian, whose sex tape made her even more famous.

Montana, who says she has some projects lined up, said she won't make up with Dad until "he respects me."

Tidbits 'n' pieces

USA Today says Rihanna will make her highly anticipated movie debut in Battleship, which is based on the board game. (No joke.) . . . Brooks & Dunn are no more. Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn's country act, born 19 years ago, said goodbye to fans at their final concert together Thursday in Nashville. "This is not a funeral," Brooks said. "We did show up to party."
