I knew I should have taken dancing lessons as a kid.  Dancing With The Stars’ Cheryl Burke has shelled out $1,295,000 for a post and beam home in the Hollywood Hills: 

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,494-square-foot home, built in 1957, has 180-degree city and mountain views, a stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings and a separate studio office. There are two decks for dining, lounging, entertaining or practicing a season-winning samba.

I’ve read elsewhere on the Internet that the dancers on DWTS do not make a whole pile of money, and given the studio her parents built for her in their home (which was shown on an episode during the season she was paired with Emmitt Smith) I’d say she’s probably not got a lot of financial concerns.  Even if ma and pa don’t help out she did just open up a dance studio and has a line of clothing as well.

Here she is, along with fellow dancer Mark Ballas (purrrrr) at The 2nd Annual Celebration of Magic Moments of Dance and Choreography in Television which took place in Los Angeles last night.  Is it me or is Mark looking like he is in need of some crazy monkey love?

Others that attended the event:  Mitzi Gaynor, Tony Charmoli, Kirstin Denehy, and Debbie Allen.
