Tia Carrere with boyfriend
When Dancing With the Stars return next season, it’s going to have a very different feel now that it’s lost one of it’s key players, Karina Smirnoff. But why would the dancer leave such a sweet gig? Season 2 contestant Tia Carrere thinks she knows the reason: Karina couldn’t bear working with her ex-fiance, Maksim Chmerkovskiy!
“She’s probably trying to get over Maksim.” Tia, 43, told Hollywoodlife.com exclusively at the “Get Lucky for Lupus” event in West Hollywood Feb. 25. She added, “Well, they were engaged and they broke up, so I don’t know, it’s what I’d do.”
Karina, 32, began dating fellow DWTS dancer Maksim, 30, in July 2008 and became engaged a quick six months later. At first, there was nothing but love between the two as Karina planned a gigantic fairytale wedding, but as things turned sour following their joint Broadway show, Burn the Floor, last summer, the couple ultimately split in September, 2009.
Poor Karina! Hell, it’s awkward enough to run into an ex if you see them walking down the street or bump into them with their new girlfriend, but to have to see them every single day at work. Horrific.
Lady Gaga takes HIV test
"I had an HIV test two days ago – and it's not because I'm taking my clothes off every night with a different man.
"When I'm on the road, I forget about taking care of my body. I don't go to the doctor as regularly as if I were in one place all the time.
"So I woke up and though, 'Oh, I'm home in New York. I'm going to see my gyno and I'm getting an HIV test'," she said.
The Brit Award winning pop star actively encourages women to carry condoms in their purses to save their own lives.
She says she wants it to be fashionable and smart to always carry a condom.

Style Awards

Leona's Weight Secret
And now Leona Lewis has revealed the secret to her new trim shape.
But we're not saying it's easy...
The singer says it's all down to a strict month-long detox.
Speaking to this week’s Closer magazine, the former winner says: "I went on a detox at the end of summer last year and basically ate vegetables and nothing processed.
"I didn't drink anything but water for a month. I usually drink lots of water anyway, so it wasn't a crazy, dramatic change to my lifestyle, but I just really wanted to try it and see how I felt.
"And after being in the studio a while, I started doing shows and getting more active.
"I only did the detox for a little while, but it must have kick-started something in me because everyone keeps saying: 'Wow, you’ve lost weight.’ and I’m like: ‘Cool.’”
The 24-year-old has dropped two dress sizes to a 10, but insists she's never felt under pressure from the music industry to lose weight.
"No one’s ever said: ‘You need to work out more.' I put pressure on myself to stay healthy and I do want to look good, but I like to eat and I don’t like to starve myself."
This is a girl clearly after our own hearts as she admits she finds the gym "boring" and says the hardest thing was giving up the sweet stuff.
"I love chocolate, it was so hard for me. But I thought, ‘It’s only a few weeks. You can have it, but it’ll make you fat! So do you want that or to be healthy and feel great?’”
And, despite spending a great deal of last year in LA working on her new album, she refuses to cave to the super-slender Californian stereotype.
She adds: "There’s a lot of skinniness out there, but it’s really outdoorsy and I love that. It’s always sunny and I loved going on horse trails and hiking in the canyons.
"At first, I didn't like LA – it's so vast and you have to drive everywhere. Everyone has this perception that I’m over there a lot, but it’s just for work. My life is in London."

Heidi Turns Designer
Forget London Fashion WeekHeidi Montag - is now designing clothes.
The surgery-loving reality star has made herself outfits that fit her newly enhanced body and has plans to roll out the designs to the public.
"This is just the beginning," she warned People magazine.
"I’d really love to eventually wear mostly my only designs. And I really would love to do a low-end line (for my) fans and it can be really accessible and then a one of a kind couture line to really showcase my creativity.”
Hmm, we can't wait to see the results.
Heidi wore one of her own designs earlier this month when she hosted a party in Las Vegas (left).
She said of the dress: "Pink is a colour full of love and it’s so vibrant and beautiful and it was, of course, very festive.
"It was exactly what I wanted to wear for my new body. I've never felt sexier or more confident in my life. It was revealing but still kept something to the imagination. It hugged all my curves perfectly.”
On the subject of her new curves, actress Lisa Rinna has apologised to Heidi for saying she would not allow her daughters to see pictures of the star showing off her face and body after 10 operations.
Lisa Twittered: "I apologise to Miss Montag if my words were taken and used against her in the press. I did not slam her or her surgeries for the record."
