'Dancing' Love Connections

1 of 8    

Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough
'Dancing' Season: 6
Status: Possibly dating

But she might be privately seeing her current partner, R&B singer Mario, Page Six reports.

"They were making out by the valet with their hands all over each other, and he was whispering in her ear," a source says.

Karina and Mario, however, have laughed off the allegations.

"Did you keep that window open? By the end of the show, I will be pregnant with Mario's baby," the dancer jokes to PEOPLE.

"I love this woman! I love her personality! I've grown to love the person that she is, and you should feel that way about your partner!" Mario adds.

A rep for both Mario and Karina have denied they are dating.

But this isn't the first 'DWTS' scandal to make the news.

Former partners Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke recently shot back at reports that the two were having an affair, despite his marriage and her relationship with 'Dancing' alum Joey Lawrence's brother Matthew.

And Julianne Hough has been the subject of two 'Dancing' relationship rumors -- between her and her former partners Apollo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves. Both times, the speculation was refuted.

Size and race, it's all a myth. If you are larger than most then that was God's doing. And being well endowed means nothing. Everyone is different and like they say: it's not the size of the wave it's the motion in the ocean. ;)

The 1st Mario is latin, that race is known to most woman as having "smaller" then desirable sex organs. Well, now Mario #2, bet that is not the case. Ladies, it's all about size, don't lie.

Who gives a rat's a-s!! It's called entertainment people, so enjoy or get a life!!

I have to agree with Genestrad about the way they dance is hot and I'm sure there have been a few stiffies... Not to mention the hours they are rehearsing. the moves, the wiggles n jiggles...grinding etc... would turn anyone on. It's what they do with that arousal to each other that counts. Damn smut entertainment magz just always blow stuff out of proportion and there you have....Katrina is sucking face with the younger Mario.... Drew Lachey and Cheryl are cheating. Honestly, BFD if they are, were or going to be sleepin with each other. Another example of it is the ice skating with the stars show they had. Kristy Swanson (aka Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and her partner Lloyd something...fell in love while preparing for and doing the show

lovelylorianne 04:14:44 AM Mar 30 2008

I really had a good laugh when I read this. I had ust finished watching America's Best Dance Crew, hosted by no other than Mario Lopez with my son and he mumbled something about Mario Lopez is such a weenie..He was so gay on Dancing With the Stars but stated how HOT his partner was...yada yada yada. I laughed and said she's so hot she made Mario go straight. Then here he is again hosting the Randy Jackson presents show. LMAO He and JC (backstreet boys) need to take a que from Lance Bass and just come out of the closet. Obvious that JC used PeeWee Herman's idea of a shirt and tie...A BOW TIE....I had to look a couple times because he had all gray on and the tie was a tad darker and blended in. It was crooked and he needed a pocket protector. LMAO

genestrad 03:58:23 AM Mar 30 2008

DREW IS NOT ONLY MARRIED HE IS A GOOD LOOKING MAN .AS I WATCH THE SHOW SHE SEEMS TO BE GETTING ANY OF THE PARTNERS SHE CAN , I THINK ANYBODY THAT DANCES LIKE THEY DO WOULD BE AROUSED BECAUSE JUST WATCHING THAT MAKES ME WONDER HOW MANY ARE CHEATING. IF HE IS ANY THING HIS BROTHER NICK LOOK OUT HE IS A DOG.

genestrad 03:51:25 AM Mar 30 2008

DREW LACHEY IS NOT ONLY MARRIED ,HE IS A GOOD LOOKING MAN OF COURCE, HE IS GOING TO BE ATTRACTED TO SOMEBODY THAT IS GRINDING HER BODY ALL OVER HIM .I WONDER IF HALF OF THEM ARE NOT CHEATING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY ARE NOT FOOLING AROUND .JUST AS LONG AS THE WIFEY BELIEVES HIM THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. PS . SHES NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT AS I WATCH THE SHOW SHE SEEMS TO BE UP ON ALL OF THEM......

luvwhoseline 03:47:28 AM Mar 30 2008

WOW, this would be a first! It's usually Mario Lopez who is screwing around behind the back of his woman. . . . .

seventeencats 03:42:02 AM Mar 30 2008

WHAT'D I HEAR RECENTLY THAT'S TRUE? OH YEAH, THAT ONE OUT OF EVERY MALE IS EITHER SCITZO OR BI-POLAR. THIS IS TRUE. OR WAS IT ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE MALES? WHATEVER, THIS MUST MEAN THAT THREE ARE GAY, THREE ARE STRAIGHT BUT LIKE SPORTS SO MUCH THEY HAVNE'T TIME TO FORM A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN, AND TWO ARE LEFT. ONE'S NORMAL AND THE OTHER IS EITHER SCITZO OR BI-POLAR. THIS IS IF IT'S ONE IN EVERY 8. IF IT'S ONE IN EVERY 5, THEN IT MEANS THAT TWO ARE GAY, ONE IS STRAIGHT BUT LIKES SPORTS SO MUCH THEY CAN'T FIND TIME FOR A WOMAN, ONE IS STRAIGHT, AND THE LAST ONE IS SCITZO OR BI-POLAR. EAT THIS, ETRADER65.
