Karina Smirnoff is engaged to Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

But she has her sights set on another man.

Asked over the weekend who she'd love to see on Dancing with the Stars, the professional dancer cited a certain Matrix actor.

"I have always wanted to meet Keanu Reeves," Smirnoff told Us Weekly at the Paws for Style Fashion Show in NYC Monday.

Has she had any luck making her plea for him? Not exactly.

"I've said it for, like, eight seasons, and it doesn't seem that he's gotten the message. He hasn't responded, so I'm starting to give up."

Come on, Keanu. What the heck else do you have to do? We doubt studios are calling too often with movie offers.

Following her pathetic attempt at a music career, and her shady relationship with a man known as Big Poppa, Kim Zolciak faced a lot of heat on season one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

So, why is she back for a second season, which premiere on July 30?

“I figured in the second season you couldn’t make me look any worse, so I might as well do it," Kim said in a recent interview.

What else did Zolciak touch on in the interview? A lot! Here are a few excerpts:

On Britney Spears: “I look at her and I’m like they just tear up one side and down the other! Then the next month, she’s doing so great. She’s lost weight. She’s a great mom all of a sudden. I kind of sympathize with her because I take a lot of that heat myself.”

On Michael Jackson: “I understand the fame. My life changed in such a short period of time, I can’t imagine what he dealt with. Sometimes, emotionally, it’s taken its toll on me, never mind him who is far bigger worldwide.”

On negative press: “People write ‘Kim Zolciak sucks, Kim Zolciak is this.' It’s like, really? Thank you for that comment. At least you’re putting my name out there.”

On NeNe Leakes: “I would love to get a hold of her ass, but I don’t have time for her. I don’t want to waste any kind of energy on her and what’s she doing."

She may not be the youngest contestant on season six of Project Runway, but Qristyl Frazier has the most unique first name.

And that's saying a lot, considering the fact that Malvin Vien is one of her competitors!

Frazier is 42 years old and was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She considers Halle Berry, Whitney Houston and Gwyneth Paltrow to be among her style icons.

"Qristyl is a hoot," said Tim Gunn. "She likes a lot of color, and print. She's entertaining to watch."

The sixth season of Project Runway premieres on August 20.

A few weeks ago, life was perfect for Bethenny Frankel.

She was engaged to Jason Hoppy. She was branching off into her own reality show. It was all a talentless, spoiled, rich, supposedly real housewife could ask for.

But sources now say both of the aforementioned developments are in question. For starters, she not actually engaged!

"The engagement is fake," a source said to Fox News, implying that Bethenny's rep invented the story to create buzz for his client's new reality series.

But that may also never happen.

Frankel had planned on titling her spin-off The Skinny and the City. But Tanya Zuckerbrot is a dietitian and author that runs the weight loss website www.skinnyandthecity.com. She isn't pleased with the trademark infringement.

"While I am obviously surprised by this news, I have always felt imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That being said, we are taking the protection of our brand and trademark extremely seriously," Zuckerbrot said.

So, to recap: Bethenny Frankel's breasts aren't the only thing fake about her.

Jillian Harris chose, and was proposed to by Ed Swiderski, last night on the season finale of The Bachelorette. She said yes. It was romantic and awesome.

The episode was not as shocking as last season's Bachelor conclusion, but it did have one big twist: The return of Reid Rosenthal, who proposed as well!

That meant Jillian not only had to choose between Ed and Kiptyn Locke, but also Reid, who was now giving her the commitment she was longing to hear.

Ultimately, though, Jillian had eyes only for Ed. She is happy.

On Sunday night, London was named the winner of Daisy of Love. His reward?

A few more minutes as the boyfriend of Daisy De La Hoya, and a lifetime of STD worries.

But London is still flying high at the moment, basking in his victory over 12 Pack and Flex. The reality star spoke to VH1 about how seriously he took the entire process.

"It didn't feel like a game to me," London said of the show.

As for his relationship with Daisy, that's been tested by the rules of the series. (It finished taping weeks ago, but the finale only just aired; in between, the couple was forced to remain apart.)

"You're not going to see each other for this period of time," he explained.  "That creates issues and stuff.  Some personal issues and stuff that we're working on.  I can tell you right now that we still have the same connection."

London concluded by praising his new, quasi girlfriend.

"She's a great girl, she's really cool.  People don't give her credit, they don't realize how smart and deep she is... She's one of the coolest, most down chicks I've ever met in my life."

We're assuming London has only met about four chicks in his life.

When The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns on July 30, the focus will once again be on NeNe Leakes.

While making her publicity rounds for the second season of the Bravo series, Leakes dished on a number of topics to E! News. Here's a look at what she had to say:

On Anderson Cooper: "I follow him on Twitter and he follows me. But we haven't talked. I'm going to New York in August, and I swear to God I'm going to his office and knocking on the door. I'm going to be like, ‘What is your problem? Why haven't you called me?'"

On new Housewife, Kandi Burruss: "I think [Kim Zolciak] has been feeding negative things about me. And instead of Kandi getting to know me for herself, she just prejudged me…Most people like me, but I just find women who are very weak let someone get it in their ear and they prejudge."

On the most recent Housewives: "We're the queens, honey. We're back to take our crowns. New Jersey don't have nothing on us! They flipped a table, but we go and flip some weaves."

While Jillian Harris decides between two - or possibly three - suitors tonight on The Bachelorette, Luke Conley is ready to start his journey toward a soulmate tomorrow.

The large 26-year old stars in More to Love, a dating series that focuses on an oversized man and the women that fight for his affection.

In an interview with People, Conley previews the series. Here are a few excerpts from the conversation:

On concerns over the show: I was concerned the main premise of the show was to poke fun. It seemed like everyone had to be talked into it for that same reason. But it’s legitimate. The desire of the show is for two people to make a sincere connection. It just so happens that they’re not size 2 models.

On signing on for the series: I tend to be a thrillseeker. I have an open heart to try and meet someone special, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about the experience and all the fun things I would get to do on the show. I‘m not looking to rush into [marriage]. If I met someone special, it would take time to develop that relationship and settle down.

On dating on camera: I tried to think of it as a cool guy hanging out with you on the date. But even that can be weird in an intimate moment especially [because I'm] wary of public displays of affection. It got steamy. I had to get over the fact that there are people in the room when you’re making out in a hot tub in front of all these people.

The Apocalypse is officially upon us.

Earlier this week, for reasons that defy comprehension, Jill Zarin spent time in The Hamptons with Michael Lohan, Jon Gosselin and Star Magazine's Kate Major.

When asked about the unusual dinner date, the Real Housewives of New York City star focused on the rumor that Gosselin and Major were an item.

"He didn't seem smitten. They weren't all over each other. But they're definitely dating," she told People. "It came up in conversation. She had her hands on him. But she's young. This is a girl who is going to want to have babies. Does he really want to go out with another young girl and have kids?"

Why not? After all, Zarin also added: "He seems like a great dad."
