We are but hours away from the fourth week of
Dancing with the Stars performances, just enough time to fit in some show news. Today, it's all about the pros: In addition to teaching stylish moves to their respective celebrities, some of the
DWTS professionals have found time for extracurricular activities.
Karina Smirnoff Is OK for Playboy
When news surfaced last week that
DWTS professional
Karina Smirnoff would be appearing nude in an upcoming issue of
Playboy, fans and bloggers went a bit wild. Reports, supposedly from the
Dancing with the Stars producers, indicated that such a photo shoot could end Karina's career on the show.
According to new information, reported at
People.com, that is not the case.
Karina's
Playboy shoot happened before the
DWTS season even began, and the producers apparently knew all about it. Their acceptance of the action is further supported by Karina's pairing with
Ralph Macchio, one of the highest-profile celebrities in the season 12 competition.
It's not like
Dancing with the Stars doesn't have a history with
Playboy either. Current celebrity contestant
Kendra Wilkinson rose to fame as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends (along with former
DWTS contestant
Holly Madison).
Brooke Burke, the show's co-host, appeared in
Playboy in 2001 and in 2004. Other contestants appearing in
Playboy include
Denise Richards (in 2004),
Lisa Rinna (in 2009) and
Pamela Anderson (13 times, most recently in 2010).
