Call it the DWTS version of the Sports Illustrated or Madden curse. Actor and Iraq veteran J.R. Martinez, who has tied Ricki Lake for first place in previous weeks and held the top spot when she hasn’t, fell a bit short of expectations last night, right after appearing in a glowing cover story for People magazine. Nevertheless, his score of 25 was far from shabby – even if it his recent efforts made it feel “substandard” as Len said – and he likely won’t be punished by viewers for the group dance that netted him a modest 23 for 48 points in all.

Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny have decided to wait on wedding planning. Rest assured, though, the DWTS pro and MLB pitcher are still together. Nearly a year after their engagement, “the wedding has been postponed ,” a source close to couple says. “They are still together, but have conflicting schedules.” With the Tigers out of the playoffs, what does Brad Penny have to do for the next four-plus months besides eat a few more salads and do sit-ups? Just asking. The couple, both 33, went public with their romance back in 2009, after she and fellow Dancing With the Stars stalwart Maksim Chmerkovskiy called it quits. “I believe a wedding is a celebration of a future together,” Karina Smirnoff mused. “It doesn’t matter how it’s going to be. Whatever we decide it’ll be great.” For the moment however, the couple simply “wants to spend more time with one another,” the source explains. “Especially while planning their wedding.” Here’s hoping Penny doesn’t strike out and lose this keeper.

Here’s Mom and Dancing with the Stars dancer Karina Smirnoff, who at one time, was the reason husbands could handle sitting through Dancing with the Stars in the trailer parks they live in, because their fat wives insisted they watch the shit on their one tv, after their Walmart Cashier shift, since those are the people I assume watch the shit…. You know seeing her move, imagining her doing’ it up against your dick, reminding you that she should be a sex worker, you know with the whole being a professionally trained dancer from war torn communism, but instead is making it in America thanks to Hollywood…. But who knew she had such horrible tits…it’s like she’s Kirstie Alley and she just danced the shit off…
“J.R. has girly feet and they are beautiful,” Karina gushed during Thursday#39;s waltz rehearsal. “Good toes, good pedicure. Much nicer than my feet!” Martinez, 28, who was severely injured in the war burns over much of his body, says he#39;s overjoyed to be taking orders from the ballroom pro. It looks like combat boots can work wonders. Two weeks into Dancing with the Stars rehearsals, Karina Smirnoff has found her favorite body part on partner J.R. Martinez, the All My Children actor and
The cast for this year’s edition of Dancing with the Stars has been announced, and while there’s no Karina Smirnoff or Holly Madison hoofing it this season, the lineup is by no means skin-free.

Despite the cameo, it was Hines Ward who won over the judges with his rumba. By Kelley L. Carter John Travolta, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley on “Dancing With the Stars” Photo: ABC Even the help of swift-footed John Travolta couldn’t get Kirstie Alley more points from the judges on Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars.” Alley’s “Look Who’s Talking” co-star appeared in a pre-taped segment as her “Dance Doctor.” The actress and her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, have been grabbing headlines the last few weeks with their dancing mishaps, and Travolta, who has swiveled his hips in films like “Pulp Fiction,” “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever,” gave his friend a few pointers, joking in the segment that Alley should wear gym shoes instead of high heels. Still, the comedic bit wasn’t enough to bolster a higher score. The two earned 23 points out of 30 (only one point better than the week before), putting them ahead of three couples, who each earned 22 points. Here’s how the others fared: Hines Ward and Kym Johnson: The football star soared to the top of the leaderboard with his rumba to “God Bless the U.S.A.” “You make it look so easy,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. “You have the best hip action I have seen in a long time.” Score: 27/30. Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas: Last week’s critical darlings maintained a high position with a samba done to Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” Score: 26/30. Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke: The judges loved the wrestler’s interpretation of the Viennese waltz to “America the Beautiful.” “I feel like we’ve underestimated you,” Inaba told him. Head judge Len Goodman gave him 8 points. Score: 26/30. Romeo and Chelsie Hightower: The two performed a foxtrot to “New York, New York,” and impressed the judges with the improvement in Romeo’s posture and arm movements. Score: 26/30. Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel : The former playmate and reality star danced a foxtrot to “Yankee Doodle,” and the judges said she’s improving. “It’s much better than last week,” Goodman told her. “It was fun and it was entertaining.” Still, it wasn’t enough to keep them out of the bottom three. Score: 22/30. Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin: The supermodel and her partner quick-stepped to Elvis’ “Viva Las Vegas,” but judges were none too impressed. They liked that she handled the fast pace of the performance but said that this was far from her best dance. Score: 22/30. Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff: Once the early darlings of this season, they’ve dropped to a three-way tie for the lowest score this week. Their samba to “Sweet Home Alabama” did little to convince the judges that they should be contenders for the title this season. Goodman said the main problem is that Macchio isn’t consistent enough and needs more rhythm. Score: 22/30. Who was your favorite couple this week? Who should go home? Sound off in the comments!
