Whether or not you've been watching season 17 of Dancing With the Stars, you've surely heard the buzz over contestant Amber Riley and her crazy awesome moves. The Glee star has been tearing it up on the dance floor with her partner Derek Hough and kicking some serious competition booty. The DWTS front runner caught up with People after her performance Monday night and told them that all the effort is really paying off. "[This has] really taught me that I can do more than I thought I could."

That statement gives me chills. I mean, Amber has been working her butt off to learn the dances and give her best performance. Just like any fitness goal, whether it be to lose 15 pounds or complete a local 5K or race, there's no greater feeling than seeing your hard work pay off. I think it's safe to say that many many of us can relate to that overwhelming feeling of accomplishment.

As someone who has been training for a marathon for the last few months, I can most definitely relate. I NEVER thought that I would be undertaking such a lofty goal, especially as someone who used to tip the scales at over 200 pounds. But that all makes every run even more special and meaningful. I know that when I cross the finish line, this will forever be an accomplishment that I worked hard to achieve, one that I NEVER thought I'd do. That makes it all the better. 

On a national stage, Amber's an inspiration to many people that if you set your mind to something, you can do it. It can't be easy learning all of these dances, getting out on that stage week after week and not missing a beat. I'm just waiting to see if she becomes one of those stars who sheds a ton of pounds in her effort to win the mirror ball trophy. Either way, Amber is lookin' fine out there!

Check out Amber's great dance moves, here:

Robert Pattinson and Riley Keough Confirmed to Be 'Hooking Up' Which Is Bad News for Kristen

Remember all that serious drama when rumors were spreading like wildfire that Robert Pattinson was dating Kristen Stewart's friend, Riley Keough? Back at the beginning of July, Riley's rep totally denied it, saying that the two were nothing more than buddies. Well, I'm sorry KStew, but I have some, er, bad news. They may not be an official item, but apparently Rob and Riley are "hooking up," according to Us Weekly.

I feel ... bad. If I had to guess, Rob and Riley didn't want to hurt Kristen's feelings and that's why they denied hanging out at the beginning of last month. According to a source, Riley's the first girl that Rob's really liked since Kristen. At the end of the day, I don't think there's any easy way to tell your ex that you're hanging out with one of her friends.

I'm gonna be straight, though, Rob and Riley can do whatever they want. Yeah, there's definitely some sort of commandment in the unwritten girl code that states Thou Shalt Not Date Your Friend's Ex, but at the end of the day, you just can't help who you fall for. Plus, if the reports are true, then Rob and Riley aren't an official item or anything (yet). They're just spending time together.

Us Weekly's source says that Rob and Riley are "having a lot of fun," and I think the guy's earned it. After all of this public scrutiny over his breakup with Kristen, he's totally entitled to enjoying his personal life again. I mean, let's be real: Pattinson's four-year relationship with Kristen ended back in May -- what's the guy supposed to do? Sit around and mope forever? No. No he's not.

Now, who's going to be the first one to come up with a clever nickname for the new lovebirds? I'm on board with Robley, personally.

Do you think Rob is wrong to "hook up" with Kristen's friend?
