I wasn’t sure whether to post this or not, but, then when I saw Cheryl’s shoes….well…. đ đ
And speaking of Cheryl and shoes, she attended the “BAFTA Los Angeles and Sir Philip Green Celebrate the British New Wave at Topshop Topman” at The Grove in Hollywood this past week. You can see some fun takes of her in a gold and white dress at Getty Images.

What a fascinating interview with Kym Johnson in Shape Magazine. Kym discusses what she teaches a celebrity first on Dancing With The Stars and what makes a good partner. She talks of the dynamics and how she once fell in love with one of her partners. More below…
SHAPE: What is the dynamic between the different stars and professionals in the rehearsal studio?
Johnson: We all train at one place where they have a replica of the main studio, which everyone fights for and they have all these other rooms. Everyone goes into the little kitchen area so the celebrities can talk about how everythingâs coming along and whoâs doing what wrong! Itâs not like youâre on your own. Weâre all there together. It really is like a family!
SHAPE: Those dances can be pretty intimate, have you ever fallen in love with a partner?
Johnson: I did in Australia. I ended up with the guy that I won with. We dated for a second and it was a disaster. It didnât end well! I learned a lesson from that and Iâll never do it again. But if youâre both single it may happen!
SHAPE: What makes a good partner?
Johnson: Someone who leaves all inhibitions and checks their ego at the door. You have to be prepared to try things, which most of them do. Itâs very daunting. Youâre total strangers and the next thing you know its âput your hand here, hold me there.â
SHAPE: Before coming on the show, how would you recommend a celebrity prepare?
Johnson: If I was going to be on the Dancing with the Stars, as a celebrity, Iâd definitely take dance lessons before hand, somethingâanything! Or I would get the fitness DVD. Kristi Yamaguchi told me she did the fitness with her daughter and learned the jive steps before coming on the show.

Dance Informa has a new interview up with Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd. She dishes all about her diet and fitness regime in keeping fit for dancing. I didn’t realize before that she likes to run and hike. Below is more….
How would you describe your exercise regime? What forms of exercise do you enjoy the most?
I have to work out every day. I need to break a sweat. Running is my main go-to, whether on the road or on the treadmill. I also love to go hiking at Runyon Canyon.
How important is it for you to exercise outside of the dance studio?
Right now with the current season of The US Dancing With The Stars, I havenât done much exercise outside of dancing. During the off-season I really need to keep my body in shape, as Iâm not dancing as much as I do when Iâm on Dancing With The Stars.
Do you work with a personal trainer?
Yes, his name is David Walters. I work out with him twice a week. We do strength training, to keep my body strong, and Muay Thai.
You can read more at Dance Informa. Peta is also on the cover of Front Row Monthly Magazine which you view in the tweet below…

What is Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd and Chaz Bono up to? According to their twitter accounts, Peta has been giving him dance lessons. I wonder what for or is he just wanting to use dancing as a workout tool like the Daily Mail is mentioning? Whatever the case, I wish them both the best…especially if a bigger project related to dancing is in the works. To see more fun pics of the two, visit the link.
