If celebrity gossip has taught me anything, it's this. If you postpone a wedding, it's either because a) you're pregnant b) you're breaking up. That's Celeb 101.

It looks like Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny postponed their wedding because they broke up. The Dancing with the Stars beauty has reportedly ended her relationship with baseball player Brad Penny, a source told Us Weekly.

In October, the two postponed their wedding, according to another source, who said they were "still together, but [had] conflicting schedules." When "I don't have time" is your reason for not getting married.

It’s like Hollywood has a collective case of cold feet. First Jessica Simpson postpones her wedding, then Kristin Cavallari postpones and cancels hers. Now Karina Smirnoff is the next bride-to-be or not-to-be.

Going on almost a year after announcing her engagement to baseball player Brad Penny, a source close to the couple says, “the wedding has been postponed. They are still together, but have conflicting schedules,” the source says.

In June, Karina said that she and Penny were getting married this January in Cozumel, Mexico. Another source adds “it’s nothing exciting. They’re just both really busy.”

Guessing who was going to be part of Dancing With the Stars Season 13 was almost as much fun as watching the show itself. Then, Monday night, the show finally announced the official lineup. Some of the rumors were right, others, like Snooki, turned out to be wishful thinking.

And we now know who is going to be paired up with who. Get ready to make your bets!

Soccer star Hope Solo will be dancing with Maksim Chmerjovskiy, who was partnered with Kirstie Alley last season.

Chaz Bono will dance with Lacey Schwimmer. Schwimmer has been paired with Lance Bass and Steve-O in the past.

Soap star and Iraqi war veteran J.R. Martinez got lucky. He's been paired with Karina Smirnoff. We're sure Smirnoff will enjoy dancing with Martinez, but he wasn't her first choice. Smirnoff told Hollyscoop who her dream partner is:

Last week rumors surfaced that the next season of Dancing With the Stars would include celebrity momager Dina Lohan. Hollyscoop talked with Dancing queen Karina Smirnoff at The Sports Club/LA – Beverly Hills, who backed the rumors up by telling us:

“You know, I’ve heard about Dina Lohan wanting to be on the show for a few seasons now and you know, the Lohan family is very outspoken and they’re always present in the press, so I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the Lohans ends up on DWTS.”

Smirnoff added that she thinks “either one of the Lohans would be a great addition...

As she gets ready for her upcoming wedding, Karina Smirnoff has been working to get in shape. It shouldn’t be hard to do, considering her career consists of constant cardio.

“I’m probably in as good of shape as I am on the show,” Karina tells Hollyscoop. “But the moment I’ll be trying on the big white dresses, I think I’m going to start picking and choosing what I eat too.”

Smirnoff and her fiancé, Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny, plan on marrying...

Karina Smirnoff is planning her wedding, and she's got time, because it's not until January of next year. Personally, I can't think that far ahead, and that's probably why I'm single.

Hollyscoop caught up with the Dancing With the Stars beauty and she told us, "We just set our wedding date [for] January 21, 2010. It's a winter wedding. We're both going to be on hiatus. It's a destination wedding. We're extremely excited. We can't wait."
Ralph Macchio was ready to dominate the leader board on Monday night's DWTS with his impressive Paso Doble. That is, until a fall ruined his perfect score.

During their routine, Karina Smirnoff accidentally slipped on Ralph's coat and took a bad fall. They struggled to get the momentum back and did a good job of finishing off the dance.

Karina looked absolutely shocked after the fall and Ralph quickly picked her up and went on with the dance. Bravo to Ralph!

Judges were so impressed with the way he scooped her up and continued on with the dance, they each gave him an 8 bringing his total score to 24 for the night. Not too shabby for a bad fall.

From dancing queen to Playboy bunny--Karina Smirnoff didn't hold anything back for her new Playboy spread.

The DWTS star got her lips plumped, her hair did, a boatload of makeup applied and shed her clothes for the new May issue.

On the cover Karina is sporting a black see-through bodysuit and bares it all in 10 sultry images inside the magazine.

“As a dancer I’ve always embraced my body. I’m thrilled to show off my strong, toned physique in the pages of Playboy and celebrate my sexiness,” says Smirnoff.

“To me, sexy is the confident energy a person produces. Sexy is the comfortable feeling of being who you are. Sexy is not just having beautiful lips, legs and arms; it’s beyond that. Sexy is soul.”

Last week Hef confirmed that Karina was the May cover girl by tweeting: @hughhefner: “The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars' Karina Smirnoff on the cover & nude inside.”

And believe us--she's as nude as it gets! Check back with us for more photos coming soon!
For most of us, showing up naked for work would be a sure-fire firing. But for celebrities, baring all can take an otherwise dull career and put it in the spotlight. Dancing with the Star's Karina Smirnoff recently made the decision to pose nude in Playboy:

"The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars' Karina Smirnoff on the cover & nude inside," Hugh Hefner Tweeted.

Smirnoff is a professional ballroom dancer, and the question is, will this help or hurt her career? Hollyscoop has put together a list of five famous ladies who have stripped for Playboy.

For some, it boosted more than their egos, and for others, it was a big mistake. Either way, it's definitely a gamble.
