Which Borderline A-Lister Could Dancing With the Stars Nab?

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…

Will Karina Smirnoff be competing during the next season of Dancing With the Stars?
If she isn't, it's not like she doesn't have enough to worry about these days. The pro hoofer has her wedding to pro baseballer Brad Penny to plan.
What's in store for the nuptials? And how about having kids? Here's what Ms. Smirnoff just told us...
Bristol Palin "Could Totally Win" DWTS, Says Karina Smirnoff
ABC; ABC/Bob D?Amico
Most of us were grossly shocked when underdog Bristol Palin beat out the über-talented Brandy for a spot in the final competition on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. So shocked that the only possible explanation was that Bristol's success was boosted by none other than mommy dearest Sarah Palin.
The Tea Party conspiracy viewers are bitchin' about deals with a suspicious pro-Bristol block of voters who identified as tea partiers, screwing up and inflating the DWTS ballots. All kinds of politics clearly pump through that Palin blood!
But Bristol has totally denied any such conspiracy, and she's even getting some back-up from a fellow dancer:

Did "The Moaner" Jinx The Situation on DWTS?
Adam Larkey/ABC
Anybody totally miss Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Karina Smirnoff from last night's Dancing With The Stars?
No offense to Florence Henderson & Co. but, Jennifer Grey's dimples and The Sitch and K's sex stuff were really the only reason we've stuck with it this season.
We caught up with Ms. Smirnoff at Esquire House's event with International Medical Corps, and she had a theory about why the two got the ax last week:
Dancing With the Stars Recap: How Brave Is Karina Smirnoff?!
The floor had already been ripped right out from under them, and Karina Smirnoff still planned to let The Situation toss her into the air.
With a series of Situational lifts looming, the melodrama hit a new high tonight as Dancing With the Stars' nine remaining celebs tackled rumbas and tangos on a new round, raised stage, the audience practically nipping at their heels. The musical accompaniment was purely acoustic, supposedly allowing less room for error than ever. And, everyone received two scores, for performance and technique.
Who rose, along with that glitzy stage, to the occasion?
The Situation and Karina Smirnoff: Destined to Hook Up?

Attention, Karina Smirnoff!
Snooki says don't do anything but dance with The Situation.
Most of the Jersey Shore gang agrees that hooking up with their abtastic costar is not a good idea…
