Karina Smirnoff NOT Returning to Dancing With The Stars!

Posted on February 23, 2010 - 11:54am by Katie

Dancing With The Stars is totally changing up the cast! Not only is Samantha Harris not returning (as we reported), many of the DANCERS are NOT returning, either!

HOLLYWIRE.com can exclusively report FIRST that Karina Smirnoff will not be on Dancing With The Stars.

Lacey Schwimmer & Jonathan Roberts will NOT be on Season 10 either.

According to Karina's twitter page, when a fan asked if she was returning, the dancing starlet said:

'Unfortunately, no. xoxo'

Additionally, a source close to Smirnoff confirmed the news to Hollywire.

Don't worry though, our personal favorite dancer, Derek Hough, WILL be returning. Cheryl Burke is also onboard!

As for celebrity dancers? Pamela Anderson is allegedly set to strap on her dancing shoes!

The full cast of DWTS will be revealed during The Bachelor season finale next Monday. Dancing With The Stars season 10 premieres on March 22, 2010!

******UPDATE******

According to Hollywood Life, season 2 contestant, Tia Carrere, knows the reason behind Karina Smirnoff's decision to leave DWTS: She couldn’t handle working with her ex-fiance, Maksim Chmerkovskiy!

Tia told Hollywood Life exclusively:

“She’s probably trying to get over Maksim... They were engaged and they broke up, so I don’t know, it’s what I’d do.”

awesome beautiful!! Recently, I found an age-gap site called __Agegaplove.com__ It's a nice place- for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and- Younger Men, to interact with each other. Age gap is- not problem there. You may check out or tell your- friends.
