Dancing's Karina Smirnoff "Feels Great" After Knee Surgery
Recently enganged Dancing with the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff is recovering well from a recent knee surgery, and looks forward to Dancing's new season.
"I feel great," Smirnoff told E! News. "I'm walking around easily, doing my physical therapy. The doc did an amazing job and said that I should be 100 percent by Feb. 10th."
Smirnoff injured her knee on the Dancing with the Stars tour last year. An MRI showed a torn meniscus. She went under the knife on Jan. 30, and was forced to miss an appearance with fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy at the Shrine Asian Kitchen nightclub in Foxwoods, Conn.
Smirnoff's injury and surgery won't keep her from hitting the parquet on March 9 for Dancing's eighth season. "[Karina] is resting comfortably and is expected to make a full recovery," Smirnoff's rep said. "She's looking forward to the new season."

Dancing's Mark Ballas and Derek Hough to Release Album
March is gearing up to be a big month for Mark Ballas and Derek Hough. Not only are they returning to the floor on Dancing with the Stars, but the two BFFs are set to release their first studio album as well. BHB by the very creatively named Ballas Hough Band will hit stores March 10, a day after Season 8 of Dancing premieres. Coincidence? We think not.
The Ballas Hough Band, formerly known as Almost Amy, is not a two-man show though. Alongside Ballas and Hough on vocals and guitar, respectively, are Emily Grace on keyboards and vocals, Sam Marder on bass and Harry Sullivan on drums. The 11-track BHB includes the first single "Do It For You," which was co-written by American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi.
Long before they won back-to-back Mirror Ball trophies, Ballas and Hough were writing and playing together as preteens and have frequently toured over the years with Almost Amy. (Remember this incident?) "I'm sure that people's first reaction to us will be, 'These dancing guys think they can play guitar now?'" Hough says. "But after seeing us play, they'll realize that this is not a Hollywood move to make a quick buck."
The Ballas Hough Band is currently playing local clubs after each stop on the Dancing winter tour. The band is also planning a summer tour in support of the disc.
As for Dancing, Ballas' and Hough's celebrity partners, along with all the pairings, will be revealed Sunday.

Carrie Ann Inaba and Artem Chigvintsev Have Split
Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba and her boyfriend of 2˝ years, dancer Artem Chigvintsev, have called it quits, Inaba tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"I'm single. Artem and I broke up in the beginning of November," says Inaba, adding, "As much as our relationship was really good," the two realized that neither "was 'the one' for the other. It was very sad to let go of something that was so good on so many levels."
Inaba, 41, first met Chigvintsev, 26, several years ago, while he was competing on the FOX reality show So You Think You Can Dance. The two began dating in 2006.
Calling the breakup amicable, Inaba praises her ex for being "a fine gentleman. I have never gone out with somebody that grounded, always ready to talk it out. I'm very happy for him and the success he's having."
Chigvintsev is currently on tour with the live show Dancing with the Stars, which wraps in Philadelphia Feb. 8. In the meantime, Inaba is prepping for Dancing's eighth TV season, which kicks off March 9 on ABC.
