Ha! This is so funny!

At a recent baseball game, the Philadelphia Phillies played the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Apparently, during breaks between innings, the Philly Phanatic, Philly's mascot, has some time to get his dance on — but of course, he needed some help.

Which is why former choreographer/Lakers Girl/MC Skat Kat partner,Paula Abdul, came to the rescue!

Check out the video (above) to watch Paula cut a rug then almost fall off an ATV!

Forbes.com has put out a list of the top ten highest paid coaches in professional sports.

The list is totally dominated by NFL coaches.

Bill Belichick came in as top dog with $7.5 million!!

Congrats!

No coach from the MLB makes the list, though two NBA coaches, Doc Rivers and Gregg Popovich, made the cut.

Crazy how much money these guys make as coaches!

The list (AFTER THE JUMP) is full of ties, which explains the weird numbering.

Kate Plus Eight star, Kate Gosselin, stepped out solo in the city of Brotherly Love on Saturday night for a good cause.

The busy mom took a break from parenting to attend The American Red Cross Red Ball Gala at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia!

The evening of celebration, collaboration and charity benefited the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the disaster relief organization. The event not only featured the best food in the city, but attractions like an indoor carousel and a fortune teller, which Kate happily took advantage of!

Will and the gang were spotted at the 76er's game last weekend, gettin' their fan on!

This shouldn't be TOO surprising, and Will and Jada are part owners of the Philadelphia team.

Apparently when the crowd saw they were there, they lost their minds!

We know hockey can be a brutal sport on the ice, but during a singer's performance of a national anthem too? That's just a little bit unnecessary if you ask us.

Grammy-nominated singer Melanie Fiona sang the Canadian National Anthem before the start of the 2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and she got BOOED!

Ugh! So disrespectful!

Rightfully so, Melanie was not pleased by the hockey fans' reaction to her performance and tweeted:

"…For those who disrespected the Canadian anthem, remember, its a Canadian sport with Canadian players. Sad at the ignorance."

We totally agree! Plus, it's just rude to interrupt an artist's performance like that!

At least the majority of spectators gave her a nice round of applause at the end, but the negative nancies were still heard loud and clear! Check out her performance above!

So sad. After collapsing during the Philadelphia marathon, two runners have passed away.

Authorities are saying that it's due to heart attacks.

The first of the runners was just 21 years old, and collapsed at the finish line. The other, a 40 year old, collapsed about a quarter of a mile from finishing.

They were rushed to the hospital, but couldn't be saved.

It's so sad to hear this, and even worse to hear that they were so close to being done with the race — and that much closer to reducing the strain on their bodies.

Our hearts go out to their families.
