Former Dancing with the Stars champ, race car driver and accused felon Helio Castroneves has been acquitted on six counts of tax evasion.
Talk about a victory lap.
Look out Naomi Malone, Dancing with the Stars alums Melanie Brown and Kelly Monaco heading to the Vegas stage.
Monaco, who won season one before being dethroned in a rematch with John O’Hurley and Brown, who was runner up to Helio Castroneves, are set to star in Peepshow, a topless, burlesque-style revue that is expected to open in March at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Supposedly Brown and Monaco will keep their goodies covered but the showgirls surrounding them will be topless. Brown will be “scantily clad, but in a classy way,” she says.

Briscoe started and Castroneves completed the race, finishing first.
