You heard it here first, folks. One Miss Kate Gosselin has gone on the record with some newfound confidence in her two-stepping ways.

"Dancing is starting to feel natural; that's scary, right?" Kate told us last night after her Dancing With the Stars "minibreakthrough" of a tango.

True, this reality mama is a mover and shaker in her abundantly busier-than-ours life, but does her studly dance partner, Tony Dovolani, agree? And just for good measure, what the heck is really going on with Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy behind the scenes? We know! We know!

Believe it or not, Tony agrees with Kate's assessment of her smooth moves. "She crossed over to the dancing side," he said.

"It sounds like the dark side," she told us with a laugh, to which we must respond: Oh Kate, why do you make it so easy on us sometimes?

All jokes aside, Kate is coming into her own on DWTS, and this side of her is a lot more fun to chat with postshow. "I was totally in the dance," she told us. "This was the first week I had fun out there. [And] I was with Tony the entire time. Who had time to be nervous? I was dancing!"

We hope fans kept their voting fingers busy last night, too, because Kate tells us she's now "addicted" to dance and fully devoted to staying on the show. So did you call in? Did you?!

She sure hopes so. "I am psyched—we're going to practice after this. I'm totally into this and using my time wisely," she promised.

As for those two reportedly steaming up more than just the dance floor—you know who we're talking about!—Erin's far more interested in outing another DWTS twosome." Maks has such a bromance with Evan Lysacek. Evan is stealing my romance!"

She kids, of course. But she and Maks do think that rumors of their "hot capital letters romance" are absolutely "hysterical."

Referencing this week's People magazine cover, which alleges the two are in fact an item, Erin told us: "It was full-on sarcasm, just like this here!" Said Maks, "We're working on babies? We were working on tango."

There you have it. Kate is a dancin' fool and there's no foolin' around going on between Maks and Erin. Are you buying it? Let us know in the comments.
