When it comes to finding dance partners, Dancing With the Stars performers Karina Smirnoff and Anna Trebunskaya couldn't have done much better for the upcoming All-Star season of the show!

Anna will be paired with Season 2 winner Drew Lachey while Karina is hitting the floor with Season 4 winner and eight-time Olympic gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno. And they both seemed please about their partners when they showed up at VH1's Do Something Awards! They spoke with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs about the upcoming season and what they're dreading most about it.

So what is Karina worried about with the upcoming season? "I'm afraid to start overthinking things and creating stuff that we're not able to execute," she said. "I want to pace this and be smart, but really enjoy it too."

Karina finally nabbed the coveted mirrorball in Season 13, but Anna has yet to take home the title despite two second place finishes. One of those runner-up showings came in Season 2 when Drew took home the crown! So does she still hold a grudge? "Karma is a b*tch!" she said. Drew better get ready for some pretty strenuous workouts.

Ralph Macchio must stop this nonsense about telling to the public that Karina Smirnoff is his friend. There are a couple of evidences that I would like to say about this matter. First, on July, 30, 2012, I saw the TV show called “The View”. Karina Smirnoff explained about her first movie with Ralph Macchio. Why is Ralph Macchio involved in making a movie with Karina? Can it be someone else working on her movie? This #Passionproject which Ralph Macchio mentioned on Twitter is nothing more than being intimacy with each other. Next, Karina Smirnoff tweeted she owes a VWToureg and Ralph Macchio said he owes a yellow car from the movie “Karate Kid”. What is this a car conversation? Third, Ralph Macchio secretly has been seeing Karina Smirnoff’s twitter profile. He copied word for word. For example, On August 18, 2012, Karina Smirnoff said to Apolo Ohno, “hahaha! Let’s ask our friends/fans to suggest some music choices for us to dance to! Guys, what would u like to c us dance to?” While Ralph Macchio said, “Have entered the six figure zone in followers!! Fan/friends generated, not media firm manipulated…” in August 19, 2012. Okay, that shows that Ralph Macchio does have special interest on Karina Smirnoff…HELLO? “Media manipulated” so stupid!!!And also he DOES HAVE a Playboy of Karina Smirnoff. Last, Ralph Macchio had an interviewed with Boomer and Carton, all of a sudden he got nervous when people ask him about his friendship with Karina Smirnoff. Why was he so nervous? Without a doubt, there is a relationship going between them. Clearly, Ralph Macchio’s wife should a get a divorce soon, and I hope he has a box of condoms or other protection whenever he visits to Karina Smirnoff. He might get her pregnant or have sexual transmitted disease; she always has sex with her dance partners. She also buys followers on Twitter!

wow, Veronica Hugh. just wow. first of all, calm down. second, unless you have 100%, REAL proof, then your claims are unjustified. and third, that comment about the STD was downright rude. think before you post something, especially if it's posted online. how would you like it if people made up false rumors about you??

Veronica was kicked off a DWTS website for posting her ridiculous accusations under a bunch of false names from the same IP address. The moderators essentially called her a loser and told her to take her crazy somewhere else, which is apparently what she's doing. She posts the same crazy crap on any website she can find. She's a very sad, sad woman who spends her days posting crazy, nasty gibberish about Ralph and Karina. I'd feel sorry for her, since her life must be so empty to be so obsessed with the lives of celebrities, if she weren't such a nasty, hate-filled person. Her obsessiveness and disturbed writing style indicate a serious mental illness. Like, serious enough that Karina's people may want to keep a protective eye on her so this woman doesn't show up with a knife to "protect" Ralph from Karina. I'm not kidding.
