Celebrity Couples: DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano dating?

Celebrity Couples!

DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano hooking up thanks to wrestler Chris Jericho?

[Apr. 10]

Mark Ballas and partner Disney starlet Chelsea Kane may have fired it up on the Dancing with the Stars dance floor, with their unmistakable chemistry both in front of the judges and behind the scenes, but American Idol hopeful Pia Toscano had her eyes on Ballas, since they both worked at the CBS Television Lot where the two shows are filmed.

But Pia needed an introduction, says TMZ. How does a starlet hopeful like Pia Toscano meet with an already famous dancer like Mark Ballas? Through the six degrees of Kevin Bacon — er, separation. Except this time it was only three degrees of separation and no Kevin Bacon (except maybe a little Animal House and Footloose, wink wink). It turns out Pia had a friend who was friends with wrestler Chris Jericho, and of course Chris Jericho also is performing on Dancing with the Stars with Mark Ballas. Voila! Introduction accomplished.

Chris Jericho from Dancing with the Stars must be quite the matchmaker, becaus TMZ says Mark Ballas was receptive and that he and Pia Toscano reportedly had a great time and are looking to have another rendezvous again soon. Mark Ballas even skipped out on a music video shoot for their big night together last Friday.

In spite of Pia Toscano being sent home early in a terrible upset of votes on American Idol, she may have won big anyway, through Chris Jericho, with her big date with Mark Ballas. Kudos to Pia, who many (especially the judges) feel she should not have been voted off the show.

And Mark Ballas is continuing to shine as well, both on stage and behind the scenes. He and Chelsea Kane (Team Kanenball, as Ballas calls the pair) have made it through another week of Dancing with the Stars, and he’s about to release his debut solo album, HurtLoveBox, on April 12, according to USA Today. He wrote the blog for USA Today before he hooked up with Pia Toscano, because in it he says he still planned to shoot a video the next day, but it seems all is working out well.

Dancing With The Stars: Justin Bieber to be next teen celebrity on DWTS?

Rumors swirl Justin Bieber to be the next teen celebrity on DWTS?

[Apr. 10]

Romeo, rapper and current celebrity dancer on Dancing with the Stars with partner Chelsea Hightower, has said he’s got a big surprise in store for Justin Bieber fans. Romeo is encouraging voters to keep him in the running for the Dancing with the Stars for season finale surprise featuring Justin Bieber. If he competes, chances are he would be even more likely to make the top three than former teen celebrity Bristol Palin.

Romeo tells Hollywood Life:

“All the Justin Bieber fans, y’all can vote for me as well. If you all keep voting for me I’ll have a surprise, something with Justin. I can’t really tell but if I make it to the finale, it’ll be a great surprise for Bieber fans,”

He has some other advice for voters as well. Romeo says Justin Bieber would have no problem getting votes on Dancing with the Stars, as popular as he already is, and the Biebs already has some dance moves lined up, but Romeo confesses that ballroom dancing is not nearly as easy as it may look, and it’s a far cry from the kind of on-stage crooning the singer and teen heartthrob is accustomed to. Eyelash batting and hair flipping (what left the Biebs has of it) won’t cut it on DWTS.

Nevertheless, Justin Bieber and the charismatic rapper Romeo have worked together before. A remix of “Baby” by Justin Bieber features Romeo. And Romeo feels confident that whatever he has in store for Bieber fans on the finale of DWTS is sure to please. Is it all a bunch of hype, or do Romeo and the Biebs really have something in the works? NeonLimelight.com shows Romeo and the Biebs playing celebrity basketball together a few months ago. Maybe the two worked something out.

Karina Smirnoff posing for Playboy true rumor?

[Apr. 11]

As if the name Smirnoff does not already evoke a sense of wicked lifestyle and debutant debauchery, Karina Smirnoff (no relation to the vodka brand) from the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars will be featured in the May issue of Playboy magazine, People magazine reports. But it could be hot water for the dancing career of the Ukrainian hottie, who dances with celebrity actor Ralph Macchio, the original Karate Kid, say sources.

“If Karina posed naked [for Playboy], she can kiss her dancing days goodbye,” a ‘DWTS’ insider told PopEater’s Rob Shuter immediately after hearing of Playboy chief Hugh Hefner’s announcement on Twitter. “I hope for Karina’s sake that this isn’t true.”

Well, it is too late it seems, if People Magazine is to be believed. The entertainment journal and its relates sources are all quoting the DWTS professional dancer beauty and saying:

“I’m fearless and love the adrenaline rush,” the dancing pro, 32, tells Playboy, underscoring the point by posing nude in the May issue.

“The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars’ Karina Smirnoff on the cover and nude inside,” Hefner tweeted on Wednesday.

Khloe Kardashian looking a bit like DWTS fat actress Kirstie Alley in Cosmo?

[Apr. 2]

Khloe Kardashian, of Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality television fame, co-created by Ryan Seacrest, alongside sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, is gracing her first Cosmopolitan magazine cover. Cosmopolitan magazine has released a Middle East issue with Khloe Kardashian on the cover. In the issue, Khloe talks about her body image as a fat actress with love handles, compared to her sisters Kim and Kourtney.

The Huffington Post talks about her interview with Cosmo:

“Dealing with the Kardashian body image,” she answers when asked what is the toughest part of being a Kardashian. “Kim and Kourtney have said to me, ‘If we were put under the same negative attention that you are, we couldn’t handle it.’

But none of the Kardashian sisters is immune to body image issues. Kim says she’s got cellulite problems, and Khloe has said she’d rather trade the love handles for the cellulite. It may be because Khloe in the past has had to quell rumors that she was pregnant. She put those to rest back in June, but she says her weight is still a struggle for her.

“I’m the ugly sister,” Khloe said back in February. “I’m the fat one. I’m the transvestite. I have had those mean things said about me at least twice a day for the last five years. It’s horrible, you know? But I can brush that stuff off.”

And the appearance for Cosmo is telling. Khloe Kardashian still has a nice figure, and she says that people are always telling her and sisters Kim and Kourtney that they have nice booties. Khloe says she is not upset by her curves.

Who is Petra Nemcova?

[Mar. 29]

Season Twelve of Dancing with the Stars celebrity all-star cast lineup includes supermodel, Petra Nemcova, a beautiful girl who was discovered in her native Czech Republic by a scout wandering the streets there.

She suffered multiple injuries and broken bones from the experience, and she lost her boyfriend, photographer Simon Atlee in the storm as well.

Her injuries were not light weight. She even br
