In an interview Monday, Dancing pro Karina Smirnoff opened up about the news that her recent ex (and former dance partner), Mario Lopez, had been cheating on her for close to a year, even while the pair lived together. Reports surfaced over the weekend that Lopez had been secretly involved with Hooters waitress (and upcoming reality show contestant) Meagan Cooper.

More than 50,000 men, women and children woke up at the break of dawn Saturday to raise funds and awareness for women's cancers at the annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Among these early risers was Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who, despite feeling under the weather, was determined to walk. "I really just wanted to be a part of the event," the cohost of the morning told TV Guide. "I mean, don't you feel it? There's all this energy here. It doesn't feel like it's 6 o'clock in the morning." Also walking, along with her puppy, was My Name is Earl star Nadine Velasquez, who fresh off the finale was looking forward to another Earl event.
