If anyone out there is still holding out hope that Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff will get back together, there's probably a better chance of seeing Tom DeLay doing a jive on next week's Dancing With the Stars.
It just ain't happenin', folks!
Maks made that pretty clear when we caught up with him at last night's Free the Slaves Freedom Awards at the University of Southern California's Bovard Auditorium in L.A.

Happy almost birthday, Mya.
Friends threw our Dancing With the Stars pal an early surprise party for her 30th last night at L.A. hot spot Coco De Ville. (The actual big day is Oct. 10.)
"We were just having dinner at STK and we came over and it was, 'Happy Birthday!'" Mya said. "There were balloons everywhere and some old acquaintances that I hadn't been in touch with in a while."
But, of course, there was a gaggle of new friends from DWTS…

ABC/ADAM LARKEY
Debi Mazar isn't about to let an injury get in the way of her competing on Dancing With the Stars…yet.
The tough-as-nails Entourage actress tells me she's going in for an MRI today to check on the pulled neck muscle she suffered while doing the fox-trot on Tuesday night.
"I'm one of those people who have a very high tolerance to pain," she says. "I power through it. I can be half dead but I keep going forward."
Debs says her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy doesn't realize his own strength sometimes...

Karina Smirnoff better watch her back!
Madonna hasn't even met her fiancé, fellow Dancing With the Stars professional hoofer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but she may already be smitten with him.
Maksim's celeb partner in the upcoming season of DWTS is Madge's longtime best gal-pal, Debi Mazar.
"Debi came in one time and she said, 'I was talking to Madonna and I was describing you to her,' " Maksim, 29, tells me. "And then she goes—and I quote her—'Madonna said, 'Maks sounds divine.' "
He couldn't believe his ears...
Dancing With the Stars Cast Unveiled: No Paula Abdul, but Tom DeLay Tapped
The Iceman, the Chairman, the Hammer and the Witch vs. the Puppy Lover?
This season of Dancing With the Stars could get intense.
After weeks of buzz and rumors, the ninth season's cast is no longer a mystery. Emmy-nominated host Tom Bergeron appeared on Good Morning America today to reveal the record number of stars who will face new restrictions, "ballroom bloodbath" double eliminations and still-inevitable injuries in the hopes of waltzing away with that mirrorball trophy.
Paula Abdul won't be there (she won't be on So You Think You Can Dance, either, if Mary Murphy gets her say), and neither will Hills hottie Audrina Patridge or grieving sister La Toya Jackson.
But who will be sashaying into prime time in a matter of weeks?
