Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny Kaput? Dancer Plays Hide-the-Ring in Vegas

Ball four, Karina Smirnoff is walking.
A couple months after supposedly "postponing" their wedding plans, the Dancing With the Stars champ and Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny have called off their engagement for good and are going their separate ways, a source close to the ex-couple tells E! News.
"They are just two different people," the source says simply.
It's understandable if Smirnoff, who was doing promotional appearances in Las Vegas over the weekend, didn't want to make a big deal about it. So is that why she was playing peekaboo with her ring?
Dancing With the Stars Down to Four!
J.R. Martinez is in the Dancing With the Stars semifinals.
Sorry if that spoiled the suspense, but the guy got two perfect 30s last night. Nowhere but in The Twilight Zone could the actor and Iraq war veteran not make it into the final four.
So, with that out of the way, let's focus on the real drama: Presuming Ricki Lake was golden, as well, who was out? Hope Solo, despite dancing a Len Goodman-approved jive? Nancy Grace, because she came in dead last? Rob Kardashian, because he doesn't have Nancy's rabid fan base?
Dancing With the Stars Recap: Rob Kardashian's Sisters Can't Stop Screaming
Courteney Cox may have to step it up a notch.
Sure, David Arquette's estranged wife is in the audience at Dancing With the Stars every week, but she—and everyone else—is being overshadowed by Rob Kardashian's cheering section, which tonight was headed up by Khloé Kardashian Odom, Kim Kardashian and their respective hubbies.
"Give him a 9!" Khloé encouraged from the sidelines after Rob's Broadway week cha-cha to "Walk Like a Man" from Jersey Boys, as she and Kim took turns screaming their heads off for their little brother.
Did the judges take their advice?

Karina Smirnoff has some rumor controlling to do.
Just yesterday, it was revealed that the Dancing With the Stars pro called off her upcoming January wedding to fiancé Brad Penny, causing talk that there might be trouble in paradise for the couple.
So what does Smirnoff have to say about it all?

Oops!
Karina Smirnoff announced in June that she and baseball beau Brad Penny were getting married this coming January in Cozumel, Mexico.
Not anymore.
Karina Smirnoff and Partner Super Confident at DWTS Party!
Karina Smirnoff and her Dancing with the Stars partner, J.R. Martinez, let down their hair with fellow castmates at Hyde nightclub in Hollywood last night.
Ricki Lake, Cheryl Burke, Mark Ballas, Rob Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari all came out to celebrate after the season opener. (David Arquette and Hope Solo also came, but avoided the cameras.)
So can Karina and J.R. go all the way? They tell E! cameras how they feel, after tying for first last night:

The recent goss is that DWTS is desperately trying to ditch the D-lister reality stars and go all star-spangled on our asses.
But why the sudden snooty 'tude from DWTS? When we caught up with Karina Smirnoff at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Launch at The Beverly, the dancing vet gave us her input on why the mystery A-listers need to up the show's game:

Karina Smirnoff's wedding planning is coming along just as she has hoped.
The Dancing With Stars hoofer told us back in March that she and baseball player Brad Penny would be getting hitched in January...
Dancing With the Stars: Pros, Finalists on Which Celeb Will Dance Away With the Mirror-Ball Trophy!
This is it, America.
Tonight, Kirstie Alley, Chelsea Kane and Hines Ward will leave it all on the parquet, after dancing for glory (and the most hideous trophy in prime-time) in the Dancing With the Stars finals.
But which star will end up holding that glittery mirror-ball aloft on the floor? Ousted pros Dmitry Chaplin and Karina Smirnoff aren't keeping their picks a secret—and even more surprisingly, they've tipped the same celebrity hoofer to win the whole shebang.
So who are they backing? And what do the finalists have to say about the competition heading into tonight's final?
Dancing Curse Strikes Again! Is Ralph Macchio Out of the Competition?!
ABC/ADAM TAYLOR
It's turning out to be a rough week for Ralph Macchio: first, he's not thanked in the end credits of Thor (the nerve!), and now the Dancing With the Stars hoofer has suffered a possible competition-ending injury.
Here's the deal…
