PureDWTS Karina Smirnoff, Tony Dovolani, and Cheryl Burke Attend 2012 ESPY Awards (Photos)
Wow, aren’t these some great takes of Karina Smirnoff, Tony Dovolani and his wife Lina, and Cheryl Burke?! The four represented Dancing With The Stars in fine form at the 2012 ESPY Awards last night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. You can see more fun photos of them at Zimbio Pictures. Gorgeous! What do you think?
Another special mention: Congrats to Tony! He and his team won the ESPY Golf tournament held on Tuesday which helped to raise $1 Million dollars to fight Cancer. You can read all about it and see a picture here.
UPDATE: Cheryl and Tony chatted with People Magazine last night about their cast wishes for the All Stars and mixing up the original pairings. More below. Cheryl was also trying to recuit celebs for Season 16. You can read more on that at the link.
“I would love to see winners, finalists and controversial characters come back,” Burke, 28, told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.
“Every season there are those one or two contestants who really stand out,” she said. “If we have a mixture of winners, people switching partners, maybe I would be with my original partner, or Karina [Smirnoff] would be with her original partner, but having it mixed and matched, would be really interesting.”
Asked which of his partners he’d like to see back on the show, Dovolani, 38, had trouble choosing.
“Oh, my goodness. I would say, Stacy Keibler, Melissa Rycroft. And Susan Lucci was such a class act,” he said. “And with Marissa Jaret Winokur I laughed the entire time. But I’d be happy with anyone, because I had fun with every single one of my celebrities.”
Karina looks great, as usual! Congrats to Tony’s team! π
Where is Maks? He’s usually there.
Karina looks gorgeous as always. π Tony’s wife is very pretty. And Cheryl tried. To me, nothing looks good about her whatsoever. I am sorry but I just can’t get past the *hag* that she has become.
Maddy – I think Maks may have had the surgery on his foot. He tweeted about therapy and a picture of his foot.
As for the others, I think everyone looks great.
Karina is doing it in that dress…gorgeous
Gorgeous pics of Karina, Tony and his wife. Stunning all. Cheryl, I don’t know, what the heck was she thinking with that braid thing and hair off the forehead? IMHO, not a great look on her.
Tony’s wife is stunning as is Karina who has looked lovely in yellow twice recently. Cheryl’s look is just strange. Not a fan of the color maybe I would have liked it in a more summer color. The braid thing looks awful and is made worse by over the shoulder. If Cheryl has a paid stylist she needs a new one.
Wow! Karina really looks stunning and that’s a really beautiful photo of Tony and his wife!!! Cheryl? I’ve never liked the way she dresses and that time is not different…
“I had fun with every single one of my celebrities.β EVERY single one Tony!? Are you sure!? π Be careful of what you are saying….
LOL!!!!!!
Season 9 alumni Louie Vito was also in attendance at the ESPYs with the Red Bull team.
Cheryl looks sooooo beautiful, as always!
@Vogue
ROTFL!!!! Isn’t that right Vogue?? We already know that controversial stars are coming back!! I am sure that there is one for sure that he would never wish (and us) to return and dance again with!!! Unless if he already knows who he has so he is talking at a safe ground! π
LOL. I still maintain that Kate was Tony’s best partner. π
I sorry to hear about Maks. I didn’t think it was that bad. He better take care of it before the season stars.
I don’t think Cheryl necessarily looks BAD, but I do think the hair was kind of a flop. Unless you’ve got a great stylist who knows how to work them, braids often have a tendency to look too casual and juvenile for a dressy event. Her dress seems to beckon for a more sophisticated ‘do.
What’s up with Cheryl and the mermaid dresses? She has short legs, and those dresses make her look stumpy and awkward.
Cheryl was going for Blake Lively braid. http://static2.refinery29.com/bin/entry/cfb/x/283031/blake-lively-braid.jpg
And Cheryl told you this when she was sitting in the salon chair next to you, Maddy?
I think all four of them looked realy good on a red carpet. Here are even more pictures.

Sorry, realy=really
That dress looks really nice on Karina. I was thinking the color is a bit similar to the one Kym wore to the DWTS Las Vegas premiere, but I think Kym’s was a little brighter and had much less fabric.
The first thing I thought of when I saw Cheryl is that it looks like she’s ready to dance the Star Wars Tango with Joey…
Hmmm, now that you mention it RJ… lol
