ABC Media Net has posted pictures of Ashley Hamilton and Edyta Sliwinska rehearsing.

If I had a membership, I would post actual pictures – but I’m not a member, so I can’t.

According to Access Hollywood, Mark and Lacey are officially paired up!  Hee – we called that one right.

Access Hollywood has learned that Lacey Schwimmer has been paired with Food Network host Mark Dacascos. Lacey took on the task of dancing with “Jackass” star Steve-O last season. Before that, Lacey made it to the final three with former *NSYNC star Lance Bass.

Access Hollywood is also claiming that Kelly Osborne will be with Louis Van Amstel – which of course leaves Sabrina….I mean Melissa Joan Hart with Mark Ballas. I guess we’ll see on these two – not my picks, so I’m skeptical.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.   I beat Derek in breaking the news, but he had a pretty picture and I….didn’t.

UPDATE: Derek and Joanna as partners on DWTS season 9 has been confirmed by ET and Derek Hough’s twitter account. Thanks cate.

We’ve been reading a lot of things that have made us think that Derek Hough and Joanna Krupa were going to be partners. Heidi’s been telling me it for a day or so now. However, the leaks have gotten stronger today. Pure Derek Hough has a tweet from Pole Position Management about Joanna and Derek as partners.

Hard to say if this is a confirmed partnership or just Nadia from Pole Position Management spreading more rumors. However, this looks pretty likely to me.

The paparazzi spotted Chuck Liddell and his new DWTS partner, who looks to be Anna Trebunskaya, taking a break from their workout. This video also has a couple clips of Karina Smirnoff and Aaron Carter (already confirmed as partners) taking a break from practice. Karina’s laugh at the end is priceless.
