Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff Covers Rockstar Magazine Issue #1 2012

Karina Smirnoff would be just as successful at modeling as she is at dancing! Above is the Dancing With The Stars Season 13 Champ on the cover of Canada’s first issue of “Rockstar Magazine”. Rockstar Weekly is reporting that there is a “dual-cover with both front and back images.” Karina in pictured on the front (seen above) while the back features Canadian singer/songwriter Sam Roberts. The 44-page debut issue hits digital devices via MagCloud today, as well as on a collectible Mini-CD. Below is more about the shots of Karina and what she says about it and Dancing With The Stars….

Smirnoff’s stunning shots were photographed by renown fashion and celebrity photographer Volker Fleck, with hair by Etienne Ortega, makeup from Rokael Lizama and wardrobe supplied by Steven Galindo. In the story she reveals that Dancing With The Stars was so stressful on her body this year that she sometimes found it necessary to get cortisone shots to keep going on with the show.

“I tried to be careful with my muscles and joints, but this season was really strenuous on the body,” she told RockStar. “In the end, though, the pros most definitely outweigh the cons, and participating in Dancing with the Stars was all worth it”.

You can read more at Rockstar Weekly as well as how you can obtain a copy of the magazine and a CD (Jim, are you out there? You are one fan I know who will want this! ).

Carson Kressley Talks Of DWTS Phone Call, Replacing Ryan O’Neal, and Lots More!

Thanks to Courtney, she found this fun, new interview with one of Dancing With The Stars’ most fun, crazy, and entertaining contestants, Carson Kressley (and make that one of the “most memorable” Dancing With The Stars contestants to as I don’t think any of us will ever forget Carson’s Moves Like Jagger and Vogue moves as long as we all live). Anyway, below is Carson being interviewed by A Spoonful Of Paolo in his home. Carson talks of the day he got called to do Dancing With The Stars and how he only had 30 minutes to decide since he was replacing Ryan O’Neal (as we all suspected was the case at the time). Of course, and as Courtney remarked to me, Carson also “talks glowingly (and hilariously) about Maks.” He does a funny impression of Anna as well. “The fun never stops” as Paolo writes at the You Tube link description. You’ll get to see Carson on a more personal and serious level too as he remembers his childhood, family, horses, etc. A must see…especially if you need a Carson Kressley fill to make your day!!

Anna Trebunskaya Chats About Dancing With The Stars With Runway Magazine (Photo)

Anna is featured in a new interview with Runway Magazine. She dishes all about Dancing With The Stars, the cool celebrities she’s met, and her favorite fashions on the dance floor. She even gives us a hint of what to expect from her in the future on the show.

Runway: What do you like best about working on the show Dancing With the Stars?
Anna Trebunskaya: I love the creativity that surrounds DWTS. I feel very blessed to meet all the amazingly talented and accomplished people.

R: You’ve been paired with such celebs as Jerry Rice and Chuck Liddell. What has been your favorite season to date?
AT: I’ve loved something about every season, and I’ve had unforgettable experiences and learned new things with each celebrity. Of course, with Jerry Rice and Evan Lysacek, I got to go to the Finals-that was amazing. But it was fascinating to see the transformations of Chuck Liddell, Sugar Ray Leonard and Kurt Warner into dancers. I also became friends with their families and felt their support every second of the journey.

R: What is one of your favorite fashions for the dance floor?
AT: Old Hollywood glamour. It’s a style that makes everybody look gorgeous.

R: What can DWTS fans expect from you in the future?
AT: I love playing dress-up on DWTS and having a completely different look for each dance. My fans can expect that.

Bring it on, Anna! I can’t wait to see you back on the show and doing your fashion thing! I love “Old Hollywood glamour” as well.

DWTS Cheryl Burke New Face Of “Ideology” Activewear For Macy’s

Get ready to see Cheryl Burke in some really cool Macy’s ad’s coming up! She’s been selected as the face of “Ideology” which is a new brand of activewear in an era of bright colors like hot pink, lime green, and magenta. Below is a quote from Style Watch.

“The clothes are very me. They’re just like what I normally wear for rehearsals or to workout in, and the sports bras are quite possibly the best I’ve ever encountered,” Burke, who finished in second place with partner Rob Kardashian on Monday’s DWTS, tells WWD. “I’ve been a lifelong shopper at Macy’s, and when they approached me to come on board to be a spokesperson for Ideology, I jumped at the chance.”

According to Macy’s senior vice president of marketing, Nancy Slavin, Burke was chosen for her overall appeal. “She is known for her talent and athleticism, but she’s also very curvy and relatable to our customer,” she tells WWD. “I think our Ideology customer will respond to her energy and down-to-earth sensibility as much as to her very impressive achievements,” including her two DWTS wins.

I agree. Cheryl will represent the line perfectly. You can read more and also view a cool photo of Cheryl in the new line at Style Watch.

Dmitry Chaplin Talks About Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Fashion, And More

MF Magazine has a great new interview up with Dmitry Chaplin. He talks of his experiences on So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars and how much he has learned from each of them. Of Dancing With The Stars, he described it “as one of the most exciting and memorable experiences ever!” He hopes to come back as a “regular pro” for future seasons. All this and more below. Be sure to read the link for the full story for what he says on fashion and how he keeps in shape, etc.

Okay, let’s move back to your performances. Tell me about your days on Dancing With The Stars.
I really enjoy my experience on Dancing With The Stars because not only do I get to meet and dance with different celebrities, but I find the whole process from putting the choreography together and teaching your partner to dance, picking the music, costumes, and then performing live in front of 22 million people every night as one of the most exciting and memorable experiences ever! This show has made an incredible impact on people around the world and changed the industry completely! I received some very touching emails from people around the world telling me how watching us dance has made a huge impact on their lives and that dancing has given them a new hope and inspiration!

Wow, that’s awesome. Ya think any more seasons on the horizon for you after this past one then?
I hope that I get a chance to come back to the future seasons as one of the regular pros on the show and that I can continue to enjoy my dancing career as I’m doing it now!

Was your schedule strenuous and exhausting though?
There are a lot of responsibilities when you have a celebrity partner and it takes a lot of time to turn them into a dancer! I always try to find their best qualities and then try to showcase them on the dance floor. If they have a fun personality I try to have them do some exciting moves so they could really connect to the dance. If they have good lines like Petra for example, I definitely try to give them some lyrical moments that will make us stand out! In reality it takes some time to learn about your partner and make them trust you, so rehearsal hours can be very long…

How did you balance your personal life and other obligations during that time?
I pretty much don’t have any time for my personal life when I’m on the season. The schedule is so packed that I would literally leave my apartment at 8am and get home around 10pm and by that time you don’t feel like going out or doing anything else but going to bed. (He laughs.)
