It is being widely reported that Dancing With The Stars' Mark Ballas and American Idol honey Pia Toscano have split. Did you know these two were still a couple (if they really were in the first place)?

Apparently their hectic schedules are to blame for the split. The two had been allegedly seeing each other for four months, which in Hollywood Years is 2 years.

Hmmm. Let's do the math: Monday is the start of Season 13 of Dancing With The Stars. Mark Ballas is paired up with Kristin Cavallari. Have you seen photos of them? Not that I'm implying anything untoward is going on, just that I can totally see chemistry between these two. Back to the math: and now we have word that Mark and Pia have split. How convenient. 

Let the rumors begin: Dancing With The Stars' Season 13 airs on Monday, September 19 at 8/7c. Will you be watching?

Dancing With The Stars pro, Mark Ballas has been served with a summons to appear in L.A. County Small Claims Court.  Whaaaa?  How can this be!?  He’s far too cute for that crap!

DWTS’ Mark Ballas’ Birthday Celebration at Liquid Pool Lounge (Topless) – PHOTOS

Well, Ace PR says that he never paid the $2,637.75 he owed them after he fired them in September of 2010.   In his contract, Mark was supposed to pay them a 30 day severance pay when he cut them loose and he never did according to the papers.

Mark’s reason for not paying?  They sucked so bad, they didn’t deserve it!

I can’t wait to see this one play out in court on July 8.

Hopefully the judge is a DWTS fan!

Dancing With The Stars’ Mark Ballas celebrates his birthday  topless (thank you jesus) at Liquid Pool Lounge inside Aria in City Center Las Vegas yesterday. Mark turned 25 on May 24th.

Karen Koeningsberg celebrated with Mark. I’m not sure who she is…is this his girlfriend? I can’t keep up. I thought he was with Pia Toscano?

Is This DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s LAST Season?

I feel bad for Mark because he and Chelsea Kane TOTALLY deserved to win the mirrored disco trophy this season on Dancing With The Stars. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Kirstie Alley and I like Hines Ward a lot (and felt Kym Johnson deserved a mirror ball trophy) but of the three Chelsea was by far the best dancer. By far. It reminds me of the time when Mark was paired up with Sabrina Bryan and she got voted off WAY too early.

We are down to five couples in Season 12 Week 8 of Dancing With The Stars and this week saw our couples do two dances. One rehearsed and then an Instant Dance where they learn the music and then go and rehearse while the other couples are dancing. That’s a lot of pressure, but at this stage in the game they must be pretty used to it.

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas are at the top of the leader board with 55/60.

Who were your favourite dancers/dances tonight? Who do you think is going home tomorrow night?

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas -  Waltz – I have to say this was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The movements seemed so effortless and Chelsea proved herself to be an incredible dancer. Mark is a sexy beast.  10/9/10 – 29/30.

Instant dance – Salsa – The music started a little too soon but they seemed to adjust quite quickly. At times their footwork was a bit off but all things considered they did exceptional.  8/9/9 – 26/30. Grand total of 55/60.

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson –  Fox Trot – This one was a little bit cheesy as Hines said but I love Kym  and I would love to see  her win this season. Was that ring real? I somehow doubt it because it was enormous.  9/9/10 – 28/30.

Instant dance – Jive – Hines looked to be having difficulty during rehearsals for the Jive this week but you wouldn’t know it during the live performance of their instant dance. He did amazingly well. 9/9/8 – 26/30. Grand total 54/60.

Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – Tango – Chelsea looked sexy in red pleather and black boots. It was great music and they were very in sync. Romeo works so hard and gives all of his energies into each and every dance. He never gives up, he works so hard.  9/9/9 – 27/30.

Instant dance – Salsa – It was sexy, fast-paced and amazing but I think Chelsea led this dance. And Len loved it! That’s something, isn’t it? I love that Romeo plugs his movie premiere. 8/9/8 – 25/30. Grand total 52/60.

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – Viennese Waltz – Playing with an injury the pressure was ON for Ralph and Karina. He looked to be in major pain during their Saturday rehearsals. Ralph looks wild with eye makeup on. Despite his injury he did really great although I’m sure he’s constantly thinking about it and afraid.  8/8/9 – 25/30.

Instant dance – Cha Cha – Ralph didn’t have a lot of hip action going but I think given he had very little prep time and an injury he’s to be commended.  He’s an amazing guy I really hope he doesn’t leave tomorrow night. 7/7/7 – 21/30. Grand total 46/60.

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy –  Argentine Tango – I thought this dance was great and definitely one of Kirstie’s best. 9/9/10 – 28/30

Instant dance – Salsa – It looked like they had a tough week in rehearsals. I liked their Argentine Tango better to be honest. Kirstie looked a little lost on the dance floor in parts but in other parts she just shines through. I agree with Carrie Ann there is tension between these two although I’m not sure if it’s sexual.  8/9/8 – 25/30. Grand total 53/60.

The dancers had 2 dances to learn this week on Week 7 of Dancing With The Stars: their own and the group dances. I loved the first group dance. Karina Smirnoff’s pleather pants looked awesome on her, but their dance was fabulous.

Tonight they had guest judge Donnie Burns who is a Latin legend in the dance world so the scores were out of 40 as opposed to the usual 30.

On tomorrow night’s elimination night the musical guests include James Blunt and Nicki Minaj as well as the Macy’s dancers. I look forward to Nicki’s performance.

Who do you think is going home tomorrow night? Who do you think will be the final 3 standing?

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas -  Paso Doble – First off I have to comment on how I simply LOVE Mark Ballas’ hair when it’s this short. Add in a bit of eyeliner and it’s porn in the making. Mark was fabulous at the Paso. This wasn’t Chelsea’s strongest dance though. She  tried very hard and she always does but it seemed very unnatural to her. 8/9/8/9 – 34/40

Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel –   Tango – That Luca guy that was helping out Kendra and Louis is so hot and when he speaks with his sexy accent I drool down my chin. Kendra looked a little mesmerized and guilty for having the impure thoughts you know the girl had to be having. She did a lot of nodding and very little talking. I grunted.  Louis really seemed to take charge but I think Kendra did really good. Luca really got through to her. He got through to me too.  8/8/7/8 – 31/40

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – The Jive – This is a very fast-aced dance and you could see that Kirstie was so stressed earlier in the week. I don’t think anyone wants to see her go home at all. Her dance steps were not as flamboyant as Maksim’s but she’s the best! I think what Donnie Burns had to say was so sweet and true. Even though she isn’t the best dancer she makes it very enjoyable to watch. And you know Maks just loves her. 9/7/6/8 – 30/40. Add the group score of 30 and they have a total of 60.

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – Quick Step – Ralph Macchio looked so sharp in his suit and hat. This guy works so hard despite being 49 and in pain as he expressed. I thought they were absolutely amazing. He’s another one I really hope stays on right until the end.  10/9/8/9 – 36/40. Combined with their team score of 30 they have a total of 66.

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson –  Tango – Very impressive. I love watching Kym dance. I think she is perfection and has an amazing figure. I was quite impressed with Hines tonight.  The judges were very mixed.  9/9/8/10 – 36/40 plus their 60 in the group dance is 66.

Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – Samba – I loved how he was saying in the preview he was throwing a party in his pants, etc. I thought Romeo was a little bit too stiff at the beginning of this dance. I mean the guy can move his hips without question. But he didn’t exaggerate the movements like they explained to him that he should. I think he has it bad for Chelsea though. I would love to see him stick around.  7/8/7/8 – 30/40, plus their 30 for group dance gives them 60.

This season of Dancing With The Stars is flying by! It’s already week 6. We saw Petra Nemcova go home last week which was really quite sad to see. She’s as close to perfection a human being can get. I will miss her grace and elegance. But that’s what happens when a celebrity doesn’t have a very large fan base. Remember it’s not necessarily about the best dancer when the public is voting.

Were you surprised to see her go? Who do you think is going home tomorrow night? Who do you think performed the best tonight?

Read up on my take on tonight’s show along with which dances the celebrities danced and the scores.

I have to add: did you see the video they played of Bruno as a backup dancer on Elton John’s video? OMG it was hysterical!

Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Samba – I heart Kirstie so bad and I don’t want her to ever go away. Although she did good and the judges were very happy I think that Kirstie can do even better. She’s a saucy little minx and I think she’s holding back. 8/9/9 – 26

Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke –  Tango – If Chris Jericho gets any hotter on this show I am going to go up in flames. He’s so handsome and this bad boy can move. I LOVE ‘Don’t Stop Believing’. What a great choice for Chris. He seems like such a natural ballroom dancer, doesn’t he? The judges (except for Len) were harsh. Maybe not his best but there were worst dancers last week that they raved about. I just don’t get it. 7/8/7 – 22

Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – Waltz – Omg the song he chose was beautiful. Who knew he was so romantic? I remember sobbing like a freaking baby at The Titanic when this song came on. I think Romeo is an amazing dancer and all around person. And he kissed her on the lips at the end! 10/9/9 – 28

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas –  Quick Step – I thought Len was not going to like the beginning of this one too much with the backpacks and stuff, but it’s his birthday so perhaps he’s all sugared up on cake.  I thought they did amazing although it almost looked like some steps were missed but clearly I am no judge because I usually say opposite of them.  10/9/9 – 28

Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel –  Samba – This was my absolute favourite dance of Kendra’s. The girl can shake her money maker!!! I loved her getting up on the table shaking it at the end. What a birthday gift for Len. She even converted Bruno! I think her dance warranted better scores. 8/8/9 – 25

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson – Viennese waltz – I really enjoyed watching this waltz. I wasn’t overly impressed with Hines’ dancing last week but I like it this week, he’s moving much more than last week’s.  Kym’s body is so incredible, it makes me think I really need to revisit that exercise thing, and maybe a plastic surgeon while I’m at it. 9/9/9 – 27

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – Paso – Oh no Karina fell she seemed thrown by that. I feel so bad for them, but like the fabulous partner that Ralph is he came to her rescue. Karina feels so bad. Aside from that it was a great dance and Ralph is such a gentleman and great guy. I really hope he comes back, I would hate to see him leave.  8/8/8 – 24/30
