Kim Kardashian is safe and sound. It turns out the reports of kidnap and death threats on the set of Tyler Perry's “The Marriage Counselor” were all a bunch of rumors.

In reality, fans were upset with Perry for casting the reality TV star in his latest film, and had no problem expressing their anger and frustration on his website.

One commenter, H.R. Hudson wrote, “I urge you to not cast Kim in your movie, 'The Marriage Counselor.' Kim Kardashian has no respect for the sacred institution of marriage. And treats it as if it's a joke.”

But the hubbub over the casting news never went anywhere and Kardashian’s reps confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that there was “no truth” to the gossip.

Fueling the drama was a report by MediaTakeOut.com suggesting that Kim had “extra heavy" security on set and a joke Holly Robinson Peete made on Access Hollywood Live.

“We can always count on Tyler Perry to give a ‘blacktress’ a job,” Peete said on the show. “So, all across the world ‘blacktresses’ are upset.”

Despite the criticism and rumors, Kim, who is set to play marriage counselor Judith’s best friend Ava, isn’t going anywhere. Perry confirmed to TMZ, "She is scheduled to work as planned."

Kim could certainly use the distraction. Just this week her ex-publicist told the New York Post that her whole wedding was staged, while her ex, Kris Humphries, decided to lawyer up.

Justin Timberlake better be prepared to bust a move at tonight's Marine Corps Ball, because his date Cpl. Kelsey de Santis is challenging the singer to a dance-off.

So what if he's an international star with years of training from his early days with the Mickey Mouse club and N'Sync. She says bring it on. In fact, he might want to start doing "The Dougie" now.

“My friends keep saying, ‘Dance-off!’ They know about my skills,” she told Access Hollywood. “I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to keep up with my group of people.” In fact, she's got “multiple signature moves,” and yes, one of them is “The Dougie.”

What if Timberlake tries to steal a smooch at the ball? De Santis, who is stationed at the base in Quantico, Va., is fine with that too, but she would never "force anything upon him."

“Of course, I’m single! I don’t know [if a kiss will happen.] I guess that’s all up to JT and what his plans are,” she explained on the show.

The Marine asked Justin to the Marine Corps Ball in Washington, D.C., back in July via Youtube, after his "Friends With Benefits" costar Mila Kunis accepted a similar invitation from Sgt. Scott Moore. Check out De Santis' invitation below.
