Mario Lopez definitely dating Karina Smirnoff

Are they or are they not dating?

You kiss and hug all the time, you escape to Mexico for a vacation, you celebrate Thanksgiving together with family, and still you say that are "just friends out having a good time."

Well, I wish I had friends like that. Every time I get that close to a woman, she is talking about babies, home, and retirement. Guys, just fess up; there is nothing wrong with a little action in bed that you guys seem to be having.

Carrie Ann Inaba and boyfriend go on vacation

While Mario Lopez is getting cozy with Karina Smirnoff, there is another couple from Dancing With The Stars that is generating steam: Carrie Ann Inaba and her boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev.

The couple spent time at a spa resort in Arizona. There is the Mii Amo and Miraval. Which one did they go to?

Mario Lopez, Karina Smirnoff on vacation together

Exactly as I had predicted earlier about a developing romance between Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, People magazine is now confirming that the two are vacationing in Mexico after celebrating Thanksgiving together.

Mario calls his friendship with Karina "a very special relationship." Yeah, we saw how you were smooching her on live television.

Mario Lopez in love with Karina Smirnoff

Well, Emitt Smith and Cheryl Burke are the champions of Dancing With The Stars. But I think both Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff also put up a spectacular show and they deserved it as much as Emmitt.

Now did you guys notice it too or am I just dreaming? Doesn't it look as if Mario Lopez and Karina are developing feelings for each other. All those videos that ABC showed make both of them look so deeply in love (the words, the body language, etc.) - they are both single, similar in age, have great chemistry, and seem to like each other. So why not? I started to really think this when I saw Mario kiss her on the neck. Mario, maybe you lost the trophy, but get the girl, buddy - she is cute.

Why was Joey Lawrence sent home?

Update on "Dancing with the stars." Well, of course, someone had to go home but I was afraid that it was gonna be Joey Lawrence. Why? He does not have the fan base of Mario Lopez and Emitt Smith. What I liked about him was the energy, enthusiasm, and humility - he was thanking the judges even when they were being critical.

I will miss you, Joey.
