DWTS' Karina: Why I Want Melissa and Tony to Win!

Lil' Kim had been Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff's favorite to win. But once the hip-hop diva was given the boot, Smirnoff began rooting for Tony Dovolani and Melissa Rycroft.

"I think Tony really deserves it," Smirnoff told us last night at the one-year anniversary party for L.A.'s celebrity steakhouse STK. "He's been so close in seven seasons."

Even so, Smirnoff admitted, "I have a feeling Gilles will win."

Smirnoff also talked wedding and baby plans, including fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy's big wish to have a baby like right...now!

Chmerkovskiy, along with his and Smirnoff's parents, want the body beautiful bride-to-be to get pregnant before their wedding next June.

"Maks wants me to get pregnant now, like today if he had a choice," Smirnoff said. "But I don't want to do that. I want to get married first. I want to do it the right way."

Smirnoff continued, "He's trying to negotiate with me. He said, 'We can go on the honeymoon as long as you want and to wherever you want.' "

Sounds like Maks should throw in the condom towel. The lovebirds have already set some details and are meeting with potential wedding planners this week in New York. Smirnoff is close to choosing a dress: "We've narrowed it down to Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier."

Back to the kids for a moment. When the stork finally does come knocking, she's hoping for two: first a boy, then a girl.

As for names? Alexander and Isabel.

Darn it! We were so hoping for Bruno and Carrie Ann.
