He’s hot… and he knows it. Extra! Extra!

Sources close to Mario Lopez and his flexible former “Dancing with the Stars” pro partner Karina Smirnoff confirm that the dark-haired duo have called it quits.

Despite her having not one, but two, disco ball trophies and making the rounds on just about every talk show known to man “Dancing with the Stars’” resident hottie Julianne Hough adamantly denies that she has “gone Hollywood.” In fact, in a recent interview with CosmoGIRL! the 19-year-old dancer says she is committed to remaining a virgin until she is married (though, she does admit to being tempted by the excess of Tinseltown—see: actor Kevin Connolly). “I think [the choice] to have sex before marriage is an individual one, but if you’re just with one person, it’s only for one … Continue reading

Floyd Stirs Up Trouble On “Dancing with the Stars”

C’mon Floyd not the discrimination card… Let me start by saying I can’t dance—-period. However, I’ve enjoyed watching world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather float like a butterfly on this season’s “Dancing with the Stars.” His enthusiasm is apparent and he moves very well. Despite this, a few days ago Mayweather and his professional dancing partner Karina Smirnoff were red-lighted and faced elimination. They were saved when dancing rival Wayne Newton got the boot, but instead staying quiet and just being happy with the opportunity to move on in the competition Mayweather started flapping his lips. The pro boxer told various … Continue reading
