Karina Smirnoff Won't Be Dancing with the Stars

On Monday, ABC will announce the new cast of Dancing with the Stars. It will only be comprised of 11 celebrities, which means a few professionals won't return to the competition.

Foremost among them? Karina Smirnoff.

While the brunette beauty won't be seen on camera, she'll be "helping with choreography," a source told E! News. "It's just going to be behind the scenes."

Added another insider: "She's always been choreographing for the show. She's a big part of the result shows. She's like family there."

The family will shrink a bit in season ten, however, as Lacey Schwimmer and Jonathon Roberts also haven't been invited back. One of these sources said the decisions to axe long-time contributors "wasn't easy," but:

"Producers cut people based on the celebrities and who they'd be a good match with."

So far, the only set of breasts name to have been leaked as part of the new cast is Pamela Anderson. She ought to make for a bouncy, poorly-dressed competitor.
