Dancing With The Stars folks Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were seen leaving Sayer’s Club last night, not at all afraid of showing the world that they’re together now.  A far cry from how things were towards the end of Peta’s winning season, when they kept telling everyone they were “just friends” and tried to keep at least an arm’s length distance between them.

No more.  Cause not only are these two holding hands, but Peta’s holding onto Maksim’s Index finger like it’s his Schlock !!  Seems like that’s become just a force of habit these days.

I guess we don’t have to guess anymore where these two stand.  By the way, if these two get married, will Peta change her name to “Peta Murgatroyd-Chmerkovskiy”.  That’d be fu@ked up for the kids man.

We caught up with the Beautiful Champion Of the Dancing With The Stars Mirror Ball, Peta Murgatroyd, as she arrived at LAX this weekend from a nice Vacation in Miami, Florida, with a brief Layover in our beloved home away from home, Las Vegas.

And dangit if we didn’t get a full on 20 questions moment with Peta, who’s always a good sport and played along with the annoying games.  We asked her how she would feel if 2 dudes were fighting over her and throwing glass bottles at each other for it, a la Chris Brown, Drake and Rihanna Style.  The good woman that she is said she would talk with the both of them, and tell them to stop the violence.

She also shared how much fun she’s having for the Summer as the new Champion of DWTS, especially considering that just last season, she was unfortunately eliminated in the first round, in her first appearance on DWTS.  We’re glad she got this 2nd chance to show America, and the Whole World just exactly what it is she’s capable of.

We even get to talking about meats, vegetarian Diets and a whole slew of other nonsense, like Breastfeeding in Military AND In Public.

But the real kicker came when asked where the Best Dancers come from, and she said “Ukraine”, which just so happens to be the birthplace of her rumored boyfriend, Maksim Chmerkovsky.  So even though they haven’t officially confirmed their relationship, let’s just take that one as a hint.

Thanks for staying lovely Peta. Damn you Maksim !!

Lupus LA held their annual Celebrity Poker Tournament and Party, “Get Lucky For Lupus LA” at the Petersen Automotive Museum last night, and quite a bit of Hollywood turned out for the cause.

The event was sponsored by Coca-Cola, and brought out folks from all four corners of the Industry.  Some of the guests included Karina Smirnoff, Peta Murgatroyd, Kim Lee, Melissa Molinaro, Shanna Moakler, Verne Troyer, Quinton Aaron, Slash from Guns N’ Roses, Ryan Cabrera, Camryn Manheim and Melissa Joan Hart.

Other folks included Josh Altman from Million Dollar Listing with his girlfriend Heather Bilyeu, Borat star Ken Davitian, Omar Benson Miller from Eminem’s 8 Mile and 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, Shaun Toub from Iron Man and The Last Airbender, James Denton from Desparate Housewives, Jose Canseco Industry newcomer, Rochelle Vallese from Alien Armageddon and a slew of others.

One expected celeb that everyone was hoping for, but never showed, was Jennifer Love Hewitt.

And while all came out to support such a great cause as the fight against Lupus, I couldn’t help but have a moment of remembrance for Christopher Wallace, more greatly known as the Notorious B.I.G., whose life came to a close in front of the Petersen Automotive Museum on March 9th, 1997, and putting a close to the East Coast / West Coast War which also caused the loss of Tupac Shakur.

Yet another night to remember.

The Buzz over Dancing With The Stars Season 13 is that it will probably be the best DWTS ever.  And judging by the first kick-off Afterparty… They’re definitely right.

The party was on and crackin at SBE’s Newly Remodeled Hyde Lounge on Sunset, hosted by Karina Smirnoff and American Inspiration J.R. Martinez, and pretty much everybody came to shake their groove thing after the first school session in front of 20 Million people.

We’re talkin everybody came through !!  Let’s name em off shall we?  Of course, there was DWTS sweetheart Karina Smirnoff, along with her partner, Iraqi War Hero turned Dancing Celebrity, J.R. Martinez.  We also got to see Kristin Cavallari make her DWTS Party Debut, along with sole Kardashian son Rob Kardashian, and recently recruited dancing beauty, Peta Murgatroyd.

Let’s also include Kym Johnson, David Arquette, Cheryl Burke, Ricki Lake, Chris Jericho, Ralph Macchio, George Clooney’s most recent Flavor of the Month before dating the tallest “Kiebler Elf“, and former DWTS cast member, Stacy Kiebler… Ms. Elisabetta Canalis, straight outta Italy son !!  Anna Trebunskaya was there as well, and let’s not forget singer / dancing stud, Mark Ballas.  Soccer sweetheart Hope Solo also came… Solo… cause Maksim was nowhere to be found.

In addition to Dancing With The Stars, there were two other shows that represented their stripes… Dana Wilkey from the 2nd Season of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“, and Leilani Dowding from VH1′s “Tough Love Miami”.  Holy Crap that’s a lot of people and a whole heckuva lot of TV Airtime.  And for those who weren’t television related, Ricki Lake brought her recently inducted Fiance, Christian Evans, and Hyde also saw Fashion Designer Donna Mizani.

The only people who didn’t seem to make it to the party was Entertainment Royal Spawn, Chaz Bono and partner Lacey Schwimmer, who we heard dined at Christina Aguilera’s favorite Pre-DUI Pizza Pit Stop, Osteria Mozza on Melrose.  Carson Kressley, Chyna Phillips and partner Tony Dovolani, the Chmerkovskiy brothers Valentin and Maksim… Nancy Grace and partner Tristan Macmanus, Ricki Lake’s partner Derek Hough, and Peta Mergatroyd’s partner Ron Artest turned Metta World Peace.

And while that may sound like quite a bit of people missing, what definitely wasn’t missing was the party atmosphere, as everybody was gettin their groove on as the DJ was spinnin mad old school tunes and Hip-Hop favorites that kept the party going till the Venue shut down.

And again, if this party was any indication of the Season to come, we definitely are in store for the best season of Dancing With The Stars yet.

Stay tuned, as we give you more from the Afterparty.
