Behind The Scenes Regard Magazine Shoot With DWTS Kym Johnson And More!
Just a couple of news items on Kym today. Here she is in some “behind the scenes” footage while shooting the last issue of Regard Magazine. The swimming suits are out of this world. She’s as humble as always when anyone talks of her beauty. She also mentions Dancing With The Stars a few times.
Below is a recent pap video. Kym says everything is going great on the show so far. She says all is fine with her neck now as well. She also makes it a point to talk about how unhappy she is with the Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback. Thanks to Sally for sending us this video.
Wonder who the cutie pie is? 🙂
oooohhhh…..so that’s the video that people are talking about , and “claiming” to not for for her & David. Uh oh, first the Howard stuff, now this. Although, on KTLA David made some interesting remarks about Howard.
Sandy, he looks like the same guy in the paparazzi video when Kym, Hines, managers, assts., and moms came out of a restaurant last season, and he thanks Hines for dinner.
Found this video of David making a trail mix for he & Kym. 😉

First, I have to say that I’ve been lurking and reading your posts for about a year. I really enjoy all the witty comments. You guys do a really good job.
I saw the video that was posted of Kym leaving Hyde on Tuesday night when it only had about 50 views. At first I thought it was funny but as a Steeler fan I knew that if it got spread around there would be a lot of backlash. Sure enough on Wednesday afternoon some of the Hines and Kym shippers went crazy and started tweeting the link using the Steeler Nation hashtag so as to draw a ton of attention to the video. They said something to the effect that they and all of Steeler Nation agrees with the comments about Ben. They also tweeted Hines like mad saying things like his girlfriend was so hot for calling Ben that. By Wednesday evening several radio stations in Pittsburgh and some die hard Steelers bloggers picked up the story.
I feel bad for Kym because she’s now being skewered by some Steelers fans and some of the same media that thought she was so wonderful when she helped Hines win. I think it’s pretty hypocritical because there probably aren’t many Steelers fans who haven’t said something bad about Ben, either about his on the field play or his off the field play. It’s just that most of us don’t have a camera shoved in our face. The comments that have been made about her and to her over the last two days make Howard Stern’s comments seem almost nice. Some of the worst comments, though, have come from fans that historically have hated Hines for years. So it’s not like they were probably voting for Kym on DWTS anyway. Even still I really think that video coupled with David’s love of Howard Stern are really going to hurt their chances. Hopefully Rob will go first. (By the way, what the heck was he thinking?)
I doubt this is going to have much of an impact, if any, on how many votes David & Kym are getting. I still have a hard time believing that it was a shit-ton of Steelers fans voting for Hines that got him the MBT – and I find it even harder to believe that a decent chunk of those same fans could be bothered to vote for Kym again now, just because she was Hines’ partner. I also have to wonder how many DWTS viewers (who, mind you, are primarily comprised of middle-aged women) are also big enough Ben Roethlisberger fans that Kym’s comments would be a deal-breaker for them…assuming, of course, that they were actually voting for David & Kym in the first place 🙂 If anything, I think David already dug he & Kym’s grave with his behavior & comments weeks ago…and they’ve just been fortunate enough so far that there have been worse dancers with smaller fanbases around to keep them safe. The damage caused by Kym’s comments will likely be negligible compared to the damage caused by David’s general creepiness. They were already in the bottom 2 prior to this video blowing up.
Maybe this is the Colts fan in me talking, but the “Steeler Nation” amuses me from time to time 😛 Many of them like to take credit for Hines’ win last season, and I would almost bet that those same individuals will try to take credit again when David & Kym likely get eliminated this week or next – “Hell yeah! We voted that b*tch off! Long live Ben!!!” Hehe…too bad that you can’t really vote people OFF the show, as it would involve voting for every other couple an impossible number of times. And we see how well that worked out for those Ravens fans urging everyone to vote for “Anyone but Hines!” last season…hehe. I hereby amend my previous statement about the Steeler Nation making me laugh. Batshit-crazy football fans make me laugh 😛
Well, the general consensus by people outside Steeler Nation is that Roethlisberger DOES indeed….suck. 🙂 Isn’t he the one that was accused of sexual assault? Just sayin’.
Welcome Amy! 🙂
Aw, Kym’s such a sweetheart. And I could listen to her and Tristan speak all day. Hehe. 🙂
Hopefully she doesn’t let any of this backlash get to her. I wonder if that’s her boyfriend? (And now I feel nosy.)
I have to say though even though I’ve watched DWTS on and off for years, I never voted until last season. But you’re probably right Courtney. 🙂 I have seen some grumblings of people saying they aren’t going to vote any longer, but I imagine the die hard DWTS fans probably aren’t a fan of Ben’s. A lot of Steelers fans say they think he’s a jerk. Of course when he’s taking us to a Super Bowl then those same people say he’s awesome – probably the same type of fan turning on Kym. I believe even a lot of Ben’s teammates thought that he sucked as a person and as a team player. A lot of Ben’s fans call Hines “Whines Ward” because he actually called Ben out on being a sucky team player at one time. He’s been a good QB, but personally I wouldn’t have cared if the Rooneys had gotten rid of him because he is a douchebag. Supposedly he’s been trying to change. I suppose time will tell.
I definitely think David has done (and is still doing) the worst damage. Is it me or does he seem oblivious to the fact that he’s digging his own grave with all the Stern talk? Heck he talked about Stern for a while yesterday on the KTLA show. I guess he doesn’t understand that most women don’t like Howard Stern for the same reasons that they don’t like Ben. I have been voting, mostly for Kym, but I can’t say that I’ve voted every way possible like I did last year just because David is such a freak.
@Rory Thanks!
“Sort of” agree with Courtney & Heidi – in the grand scheme of things, it probably doesn’t matter a whole bunch. But, I can see it being a small “net negative”. What I found funny about it was that Kym is normally one of the most P.C. pros on DWTS, and this is a decidedly non-P.C. moment for her. 😉
Does anyone know from seeing other videos of her if she was “under the influence”? Wonder why her friends didn’t shush her?
@sheery – Oh yeah. Kym sounded like she’d knocked back (quite) a few “adult beverages”…. 😉
Yep, I think if she’d been on her game, we would have heard things along the lines of “it was sooooo exciting! I was on the edge of my seat! I was sooo hoping Hines would catch a touchdown pass so I could see him dance, and it was a bummer that he didn’t get one! But….. go Steelers!” Everyone would’ve said “awwwwww, she’s so sweet!”, and maybe (just maybe) it would’ve eeked out another vot or two. That’s why I said “small net negative” earlier – when you’re in the bottom 2, why rock the boat at all?
Ugh! What a tempest in a teapot over a jacksass like Big Ben. Paparazzi are cockroaches that need to be scoured from the face of the Earth (which is why I never watch any pap video). I hate the way they vulture and then accost people with any kind of name recognition. You can’t possibly have your guard up every second of the day and still live your life. Kudos to Kym for being PC most of the time; it’s more than I could manage.
I would have to agree that that Kym had a cocktail or two… Her friend did try to shush her once after she said that she didn’t like Ben and then once when she started calling Ben a douchebag. Quite honsestly the whole thing was the stupid paps’ fault. One of them first said that the driver who was yelling at them when they were in the crosswalk called Kym a douchebag, which wasn’t true. Unfortunately Kym apparently becomes a parrot when she drinks because she couldn’t seem to stop saying douchebag. I counted at least 6 ‘douchebags’ that came out of Kym’s mouth, which I find hysterical because I don’t ever recall hearing her ever saying a negative thing on camera or in person. Then the crazy thing to me is that after saying Ben was a douchebag she then goes back to Diplomat Kym and says that David is so amazing. Huh? At that point she stops saying douchebag? 🙄
Oh, Kym has had other non-PC moments when she’s gotten her booze on. I just didn’t post it. 🙂 No one was making a fuss over it like they are this one, so there was no point.
