Cheryl Burke Dishes On New Dancing With The Stars All Star Season With Mario Lopez
Pictured above is Dancing With The Stars Cheryl Burke. She chatted with Mario Lopez about the new All Star cast and her former partners at The Grove. She wants to dance with one of the three. As of now, she claims she has no idea who her partner will be until the announcement on Monday. She says rehearsals for the show begin August 30th. Mario jokes if they were dancing together this season, they’d win for sure and Cheryl agrees. By the way, has Cheryl had some work done to her face in some way or is it just me? Anyway, you can listen to the new interview at On With Mario Lopez. You can also see another picture of Cheryl here.
Oh yea she has had work done OR gained some weight because her face is thicker… wasnt even sure if it was her first
Yup, Work Done For Sure! I am with you, I thought she has had some work done in a previous photo as well.
Not sure if I would give her new look a “Thumbs Up” or “Down”. Is she channeling a Kym Kardashian wanna-be?
I think it looks like she has gained some weight is all.
Ehhh…I’m gonna lean more towards weight gain or just having a bloated day than work done. Plus she’s got her head at an odd angle, which I think is giving the illusion of a more drastic change. Looks like she might have gotten a new, longer weave, though.
Does Cheryl think before she speaks? She wants one fo the three. She probably does, but she needs to learn some tact. If she gets Apolo, Helio or Joey they would know she’d rather have someone else. Heck, I’d bet even if she got Drew or Emmitt they’d know that the only person selfish Cheryl wants to dance with is Gilles.
I don’t know of any of the other pros spouting off to the media about who they want to dance with, except of course, the other one who can be quite selfish. Mark. If anybody else has, I’ve missed it.
If you compare Cheryl from Season 2, with Cheryl from now, she looks a LOT different, I think, and I don’t think it’s simply that she’s that many years older.
Since it was mentioned about work done, do you think a side by side comparison could be added? Even if it’s a video of Cheryl with Drew, and a video of Cheryl with William?
to be fair…haven’t Kym and maybe Karina had some work done, too? And possibly even Lacey?
I think itβs just age, weight, and an odd camera angle.
I don’t think Lacey’s ever hidden the fact that she’s had work done….
*sigh* The ol’ “Did they have work done or didn’t they?” argument is always a bit of a slippery slope around here – seems to launch into a a whole debate about the ethics of beauty and whatnot, and I quite frankly find it tiresome. I personally could give a rat’s ass whether someone wants to get a nose job/breast augmentation/Botox/lip injections/etc. To me, it’s no different than coloring your hair, putting on makeup, or changing the way you dress – it’s all done to improve your appearance, and if someone is THAT bothered by a little nip & tuck that someone else has had done, I think it says more about the person getting bothered than it does about the person having the work done.
For the sake of accuracy, the only pro that has gone on record as having cosmetic surgery is Karina – in fact, she actually allowed Extra to film her transformation when she got her rhinoplasty. I believe she has also said she gets lip injections. Personally, I think she looks great – and if she feels great, good on her. Lacey has not come out and said she’s had work done, but unless homegirl when through a huge growth spurt at age 23, she clearly got a breast augmentation – and I actually don’t think it looks terrible, except that she seems to relish wearing tops that push them up into an exaggerated, painful-looking shape. I think she may have had lip injections as well, which baffles me a bit, because I always found her to have quite full lips, naturally. With Lacey, I’m actually more bothered by her clothes, hair, & makeup than any “work” she’s had done – she’s a beautiful girl naturally, but she seems to go a bit overboard with the uber-blonde hair, caked-on makeup, and crazy outfits. As for Kym – I’d guess she’s had some injections, maybe a brow lift at most. Still pretty conservative, in terms of “work”.
@Lori – I actually toyed with the idea of an “evolution of the pros” series, where I looked at how they’ve changed over the years. I think the big difference between Cheryl then and Cheryl now was that she was fresh off the professional competition circuit back in season two – literally, she won her last professional competition maybe 2 months before the premiere. She was lean as a greyhound, had a very short, avant-garde haircut, and was super, super tan – that’s practically the professional female Latin competitor uniform. As the seasons went by, I think she adapted to the rhythm of the show a bit more, and softened her look. Ditto for Maks, Louis, and Mark – all 3 looked very “Latin” during their first season or 2 on the show, and softened up quite a bit over the years.
Thanks, C…. I appreciate you explaining it.
Yeah, Violet, I think you’re right that it’s just Cheryl and Mark and I cringe every single time I hear it. So tacky. Derek has been asked several dozen times who he “wants” to dance with and he always says that he doesn’t think about it like that, that he’ll be happy with whoever he gets.
Good explanation. I agree it doesn’t matter what they had done or didn’t have done, sorry for bringing the other three up.
me too, Heidi. I mean, if she gets handed Apolo, as has been speculated? He will be a great partner to have, but could already see Cheryl as rude and might feel awkward. Or course, he might not, but I sure would.
It’s not the argument that’s slippery slope, it’s about the pro that this argument is made against.
About Derek: Gorgeous as always! Pictured above is Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough gracing the Red Carpet at the 11th annual InStyle summer soiree
About Cheryl: By the way, has Cheryl had some work done to her face in some way or is it just me?
You can see why her fans might get upset.
Such is life on a blog where people have actual real opinions on the various pros. No one’s making you read it.
And you can be sure that if Derek were ever to get anything nipped or tucked, we would mention it.
Anyway, why do you assume that the question “Has she had work done?” is pejorative??
Thanks for trying to oversimplify, J, but I’ve been around here and witnessed the great “to nip & tuck or not nip & tuck” debate a few times more than you have – and it ain’t all about Cheryl. Sorry to disappoint. Fans of all of the pros seem to like to jump in and make judgements when it comes to plastic surgery, and I’m just kinda done moderating heated arguments about it. Contrary to what some believe, we don’t sit around conjuring up ways to “bash” Cheryl…she’s just not that important.
True, Court, after seeing Karina dissed pretty strongly by fans of other pros, it’s hard to work up any indignation on Cheryl’s behalf. Assuming that the question was negative to begin with, that is. Knowing Vogue as I do, I expect it was just an honest question. π And looking at the picture, it’s a valid one. Although I think it’s just that picture, myself.
Thanks Heidi!!! xxx
I agree that Cherylβs looks changed dramatically in comparison with earlier seasons. She got more mature looks that fits her well.
Both Cheryl and Karina looked very pretty as kids and they still do.

I think Cheryl has slowly been making changes to
look like Kim Kardashian since she started dancing with
Rob. She started with hair extensions so her hair was as long as Kim’s. Her clothes look more and more like Kim.
Her personality change with William Levy. So I would be more inclined to believe she’s had face work done.
I didn’t recognize Cheryl in the picture with Mario at first. Pretty face, but not totally recognizable as Cheryl. My guess is she just gained a little in-between-season poundage and it shows in her face looking rounder.
I agree, I think it’s just the photo and perhaps a bit of bloating. If she’s had work done, all the power to her. Personally, I think the ultra long hair is very unflattering on her and makes her look heftier, but if she likes it… whatever. It’s her answer to the partner question that really irritates me. Either she knows she’s getting a repeat star, or she isn’t concerned how her answer would affect a new partner.
Comment 10 Well said, Courtney! Cute pics, Alicia! π
My two cents is I think plastic surgery forever alters a person’s expression, etc. But, if I were in a profession that required an attractive appearance, I’d be all over it. I sure hope these pros stay balanced and make decisions based on what’s best for them – not best for the fans or critics.
Sorry for the confusion Jimmbboe!xx My last post (that I just deleted to clean up this post) was meant for a rude poster in the night. <3 <3 ya!!! xxxx
Alicia, thanks for the link. Really cute! I sometimes forget how long some of the dancers have known one another.
FYI Announcement – if you come on to this site and proclaim that we are all just jealous of Cheryl (or anyone else) and that any men who don’t find her attractive must be gay…and then follow that statement with a derogatory comment about gay men?? You will be instantly banned. There are no second chances for that sort of behavior here. There will be no warning. It will just be done.
You’ve been warned.
Yay Amen Miss! +1 +1 +1 !!!!!
I think mayyyyybe lip injections, which I think were noticable when Karina and Kym had them…I don’t understand Lacey either(in any way and I don’tcare for dancing/choreo,costuming.. anything-personal preference)BUT she was sooo cute when she first came on the show, pretty even. That’s the only time I feel bad when somebody gets work done-when it makes them look worse. Not sure what Kym did,but I don’t think it was for the better either. I certainly understand how some feel tweaking might be necessary…hi-def TV and all..
I hope Mark, Cheryl and Kym will be in the finals this season because so we can watch some superb freestyles! If all of them will be together in final, it will be best final ever! Each one are so original about their freestyles.
Cheryl just RT’d me on Twitter, so she’s got a new fan (are you listening, Derek and Kym????) π So, I’m going to chalk the picture u to the head tilt, and the camera angle…
I can’t wait for Monday!!!! Looking forward to seeing the pairings! π
You’re so easy, Sally. π
LOL!!!! It’s the wine…. π
