Aaron Carter wears “priceless” Michael Jackson jacket on Dancing With the Stars!

AaronCarter1021.jpg During Dancing With the Stars’ touching Michael Jackson tribute, contestant Aaron Carter donned a sparkly jacket reminiscent of the King of Pop’s signature style. Little did viewers know that the singer’s blinged-out blazer was actually a gift from Michael himself! In September 2001, the then-13-year-old entertainer contributed to Michael’s concert, and coveted the legendary star’s stage coat. “I said ‘I love that jacket, can I have it?’ I pleaded with him to give it me, as I loved it so much,” Aaron told In Touch after the ABC hit dancing competition’s October 20 episode. Though the Gloved One initially turned him down, he later gave the young Aaron the jacket he so desperately wanted. “There’s two of them in the world, and now it's priceless. I had somebody once offer me $15 million for this jacket!” Aaron gushed about the Swarovski crystal-studded souvenir. The “Dance With Me” crooner was thrilled to be a part of the show honoring Michael’s moves and his impact on the world of dance. DWTS’ pro dancers paid homage with such classics as “Man in the Mirror” and “Thriller” during the tribute, which was also attended by Jackson family members Katherine, Jermaine and LaToya. “I am so honored to have been a part of the show doing this tribute to him, and this is probably the first time I have actually spoken about Michael,” Aaron solemnly added of his late pal, who died tragically in June. Though he barely made the cut, Aaron will be back on the dance floor with his partner, Karina Smirnoff, next week.

Demi Moore: Rock Bottom
It could have been a happy night for Demi Moore — a chance to put the most painful and humiliating period of her life behind her, even if just for a few hours. But while Demi had been nominated for a Directors Guild award for co-directing the Lifetime special Five, she spent the January 28 ceremony in hiding as she coped with the fallout from a drug incident that landed her in the hospital five days earlier. “She’s literally hiding in shame over how far she has fallen,” a pal shares.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie On The Rocks?
Could Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. be the next in a long list of celebrity couples heading for divorce? Although their rep denies the story, the duo, who have managed to remain largely out of the spotlight throughout their relationship, raised eyebrows recently when Sarah, 34, walked the Golden Globes red carpet solo — and without her enormous diamond engagement ring.

Tabatha Coffey’s Tough Love
“Look, I know it’s like boot camp when I come in,” says Tabatha Takes Over star Tabatha Coffey with a twinkle in her eye and a smile so broad that fans of her hit show might not even recognize her. The Bravo star admits with a giggle that channeling her inner drill sergeant is often the only way to get the job done.

Seal’s Ex: Don’t Take Him Back
The song that Seal chose for his performance on a recent episode of Ellen — Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” — seemed specifically designed to make his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, reconsider her decision to end their marriage. While Seal may have good reason to endear himself to Heidi — who has legions of fans and pulled in a whopping $20 million last year — former supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 45, maintains that the singer is a selfish, immature man who is prone to frightening rages. “He is not a nice person,” Tatjana, who dated Seal for nearly a year, tells In Touch.
