Woz to Limp DWTS Partner Down the Aisle

Karina Smirnoff of DWTS

Karina Smirnoff has asked dancing partner Steve Wozniak to walk her down the aisle when she gets  married to fellow DWTS dancer Maksin Chmerkovskiy later this year. Which is weird. No word yet on whether he’ll actually walk, or do it on a Segway. Given his recent injuries, my money’s on Segway.

“He’s a little out of his element but has the biggest personality you’ll ever meet,” Smirnoff said about her dancing partner. “He’s super funny and super charming.”

The whole thing smacks of publicity. I can totally see a DWTS producer pitching this to Smirnoff. Woz is old and kind of dad-like, so who better to fill the position of your absent father than someone you’ve known for all of about 6 months? And I’m sure the wedding will not be part of a “very special” episode of Dancing With the Stars.

Dancing With the “Stars”

As you all know the T is a big fan of DWTS. I am in love with Apolo Anton Ohno and really last year his adorable mug kept me watching each week.

This year we have an interesting group of kids dancing for us…here is the list.

Mel B aka “Scary Spice”- Singer

Marie Osmond – Singer/Entertainer

Floyd Mayweather
- Heavyweight Boxing Champion

Helio Castronetes – Race Car Driver

Jennie Garth – Actress

Cameron Mathison – Actor, “All My Children”

Albert Reed – Model

Jane Seymour – Actress

Sabrina Bryan
– Actress, “Cheetah Girls”

Mark Cuban – Owner, Dallas Mavericks

Joise Maran – Model

Wayne Newton – Entertainer

I have met Cameron Mathison and he makes me super excited because ladies…he is a dreamboat. Mark Cuban should be amusing as he is always quite animated during Mavericks games. Jennie Garth fills the new “90210″ slot…I promise you next year we will have Gabrielle Carteris. The real shocker is Wayne Newton. He is of course going to be paired with some hottie dancer and stay through the competition longer than he should because he will be the loveable old guy. Mel B is a bit of a shocker since the Spice Girls are getting ready for their world tour but it should be some good free press for them.

DWTS premieres Monday Sept 4th 8/7c

This Guy is a Quitter

Dancing with People Who Sort of Resemble Stars took a hit when Sopranos mobster Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero quit the show.

He said:

“When I initially committed to joining Dancing With the Stars, I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me.”

Well, if you look at him he looks like he would be able to dance about as well as my left buttock, which is to say not very well (because I’m right buttocked).

Adios you giant lady bidness!
