Dancing With The Stars' professional Cheryl Burke is expanding her horizons and has a deal with Macy's to design an active-wear collection called 'Ideology' for the department store. By designing this collection, she is definitely appealing to the majority of women by addressing our issues when she sat down with StyleList:

"I feel like I am definitely curvy. I'm petite with hips. I've got boobs! I have an ass!" Even though she has a body that many admire, Burke admitted: "I'm insecure about fat bulging up. With exercise pants, the elastic is often too tight and you start seeing fat pop out. With these [Ideology exercise pants] everything is flat and nothing is coming over the waistband."

Amen sister! I now love Cheryl Burke and will worship her until the day I die. Slimming or not, black isn't always the way to go:

"I always wore black, because it's so slimming. Normally I would just wear black pants with a sports bra and a baggy t-shirt to work out." "If I feel fat in what I'm wearing, I'm not going to go out and go to the treadmill and start running. It's the worst feeling ever."

At this point I'm thinking she's in my head and reading my thoughts. Mind you this biatch don't run. That's the only difference, but isn't it the truth that if your clothes are too tight exercising is just the worst?

It isn't just dancing that keeps this profession in shape, she does jazzercise:

It has helped me stay in shape," she said, "I'm a dancer, obviously, but sometimes it's fun to be able to dance alone and listen to good music and work out at the same time. Doing jazzercise, I burn 600-700 calories an hour!"

Sign me up! Macy's had their Ideology launch last Wednesday night at the Dream Hotel in New York City but the brand won't be available until February, 2012.

Oh no!  She did so well last night with her partner, Chris Jericho.  It looks like Cheryl Burke sustained an injury last night on Dancing With The Stars!  During her paso doble, she felt something rip in her upper, inner thigh.  After she left the stage, the medics gave her some ice to help with the pain.

If she makes it through tonight, will she be able to perform?  Will she even be able to practice with Chris this week? She was a total champ too, I never noticed a thing!  True pro there!

We are pulling for you Cheryl!  Feel better soon!

Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani –   The FoxTrot – I love Wendy Williams but I found this kind of dull and lacklustre. I loved her story. How many people could do what she did? I agree with the judges though in that it wasn’t her best dance at all.   5/5/5 – 15/30

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas – Cha-Cha-Cha. This girl’s body is to die for. The fact she doesn’t think she’s sexy is quite shocking.  I thought they did amazing.  7/8/8 – 23/30

Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke –  The Rumba – What a heartfelt story about his mom. But like the judges said his hips didn’t really move a lot but it was still so very beautiful. An excellent choice of music. 7/7/7 – 21/30

Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel –  The Rumba – She had a difficult time coming down the steps. I like Kendra so much but she has no confidence and I really wish she’d get some because I think she has a beautiful soul and heart.  She tries and works so hard. 8/7/8 – 23/30

Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – The Rumba – What a heartbreaking story of losing his cousins at such an early age. I loved that they wore white like Angels. The choice of song ‘I’ll Be There’ was so appropriate and beautiful.  He’s a great young man. 7/6/7 – 20/30

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson – The Samba – Loved this dance. I love watching him no matter what and it’s always nice when a man honours his mom!  9/8/8 – 25/30

Petra Nemcova and Dimitry Chaplin –  The Waltz – The costumes, the movements, the music was all perfection. So very graceful. I loved what Bruno said about her because not only is she drop-dead gorgeous her heart is so pure and beautiful. She’s a pleasure to watch. 8/9/8 – 25/30

Sugar Ray Leonard & Anna Trebunskaya – Paso  - The beginning was a un-Len like, but I liked it especially once they started dancing. The energy was great and the audience was up on its feet. Great choice of music.  7/6/7 – 20/30

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – The Rumba – Omg they fell and Maksim looked like he really hurt himself, but they recovered. That’s got to be difficult though. They got great scores despite the fall. 7/7/7 – 21/30

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – Rumba – He is so romantic and such a sweetheart. He had such a baby face when he got married. I love that he dedicated it  to his wife of 24 years! How beautiful. His posture is quite graceful. I loved how he went to his wife after the dance. 7/7/7 – 21/30

Did you watch tonight? Who was your favourite? Least favourite? Who do you think is going home tomorrow night? Selena Gomez and One Republic will be performing. Will you be watching?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Chris Jericho give us a gun show as they leave/arrive at rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars. Happy Hump Day. I still miss me some Derek Hough though.

Dancing With The Stars – Season 12, Week 1 RECAP

Some other members of the cast of Season 12′s Dancing With The Stars can be seen leaving/arriving at rehearsals yesterday as well including front-runners Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley. How amazing were they Monday night? Did you watch? Did you love?

Who is your favourite so far?

The Silver Fox Anderson Cooper rides his bike in New York where it looks like he did a bit of shopping. This guy is hot. Smoking hot. Does he even have a clue as to how handsome he is? He comes across as very real, very humble. He’s smart, nice, HANDSOME and I bet he can cook.  I can totally see him rocking a skillet.

Porn star Karissa Shannon (because you KNOW the filming of her Vivid Video was no accident..it was too professional you can see it here..the site is NSFW) and her co-star Sam Jones III are seen exiting Nobu. I think they have quite a future in porn because they are both really bad actors.  What I’m referring to is how they were all worried that their tape would be ‘leaked‘. Please. Vivid was involved before the taping even began.

Kim Kardashian and BFF LaLa Vazques depart Nobu where Kim takes the wheel of her Phantom automobile. I had no idea she even drove. I wonder if she had the same instructor as all the other Hollywood starlets that can’t seem to drive without hitting something?

Dancing With The Stars’ hunk Rick Fox and his partner Cheryl Burke are seen outside the dance studio where they are rehearsing for tomorrow night’s show. I was wrong about this season.  It’s actually better than I thought it was going to be!
