Dancing's Maks: My Kids with Karina Will 'Be Rock Stars'
Maksim Chmerkovskiy may be known as the "bad boy of the ballroom" on ABC's hit Dancing with the Stars, but when it came time to pop the question to girlfriend – and fellow DWTS pro – Karina Smirnoff, his trademark swagger dissolved.
"Planning the proposal was the most nerve-wracking thing of my life," the dancer, 29, tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "When it came down to it, I thought, 'It's not a given that she'll say yes.' All of a sudden it's like, 'I have nothing to say! Why did I even do this?' "
Adds Smirnoff, 31: "I thought it was so cute because you never see Maks [nervous] like this."
Although they only started dating in late September, the Ukrainian-bred couple – who will square off against each other in the new season of DWTS, debuting March 9 – actually have a long history: They first met as teenagers on the pro dancing circuit.
"You know how boys tend to develop slower than girls?" asks Chmerkovskiy. "A lot slower!" says Smirnoff. Back then, she adds, "I never looked at him seriously."
Now the couple, who plan to wed in late 2009, are looking ahead to starting a family. "Our kids would be rock stars," says Chmerkovskiy, playful swagger back in place. "They're going to be like royalty."

An interesting article:
DANCING WITH THE STARS: TED'S TAKE
With a new season of Dancing With the Stars starting up again next month, I though it only befitting to have an expert size up the contestants.
Or at least, someone who’s taken a turn (and a spill!) on the ballroom dance reality competition series.
Ted McGinley, who saw his exit early on in season seven, gave me his take on how the new cast will fare on the dance floor “I think this will be the year of the man, the year they claim it back,” says Ted, adding with a laugh. “This would have been a good year to have been a person with no experience. Looks like there are more people in my boat.”
But that won’t be a problem for Sex and the City movie star Gilles Marini. “The French actor? They are born with style and grace so they are already good," Ted proclaims. "He’ll look great in the costume and once he says something, he’s in,” Ted proclaims.
Ted thinks that rapper Lil’ Kim and the athletes will do very well on the dance floor. “Football star Lawrence Taylor was the fastest player in his position and so skillful,” Ted says. “He was sort of this untamed beast, and I’m curious to see if he’ll still be the same way when he dances.”
He’s saying a little prayer for country singer Chuck Wicks, who’s taking the stage with real-life girlfriend Julianne Hough as his partner. “If they make it through this, I’ll be the first to buy them a wedding present,” Ted declares. “If they can make it through this test, they can make it through anything, though maybe they’ve been practicing secretly in their hotel room.”
Ted’s pick for taking it all? Actor David Alan Grier. "I think he’s one of the funniest guys I’ve ever heard and seen,” Ted says. “He’s a trained Yale graduate. I’m sure he’s got some musicality, and he’ll get a ton of votes.”
That is, of course, if Ted’s conspiracy plan for Apple founder Steve Wozniak isn’t true. “I’m sure he’s already got some computer virus that’s affecting all of our cell phones, that’s set up to vote,” Ted chuckles.
And Ted even has advice for the ever-unpredictable shock comedian Steve-O. “I think he’s going to do what I threatened to do if I screwed it up, break into this insane impromptu dance and spin on his head,” Ted advises. “When all else fails, put a staple in something and get out there.”

Having seen LT recently, the man has had problems walking stemming from his hard hits in the 1980's and 1990's. I differ on your opinion that he's agile. Maybe back in the 1980's, but not now. He had trouble walking the last time I saw him at a golf tournament about six months ago.
