Karina Smirnoff just hasn’t really been on our radar, but now that she’s joining other esteemed celebrities like Aubrey O’Day, Kim Kardashian and Heidi Montag by posing for Playboy she’s registering as a far off blip. What’s next for her, a reality show on Oxygen or that WE tv network?
Smirnoff, as you may or may not know, is a dancer on Dancing with the Stars. She made some minor headlines when she was dating that royal douche Mario Lopez. Then she got a nose job that she claimed was necessary to correct a deviated septum. I would say her nose looks too small for her face now, but the difference is minor and her nose was always small like that.
So Smirnoff is on Playboy and she looks great, but she also looks like one of those ads at the back of the Frederick’s catalog. She’s like a 90s dominatrix that really won’t challenge you. She issued a statement on how sexy she feels:
Dancing with the Stars stunner Karina Smirnoff leaves little to the imagination in a sheer bodysuit on the cover of the new Playboy, and RadarOnline.com has the sexy shot for you.
“As a dancer I’ve always embraced my body,” the sexy 33-year-old told People of her 10-page pictorial. “I’m thrilled to show off my strong, toned physique in the pages of Playboy and celebrate my sexiness.”
Smirnoff, who’s engaged to portly Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny, has been partnered with celebs such as The Karate Kid’s Ralph Macchio, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Billy Ray Cyrus in her time on the show.

Karina could go all the way with Ralph Macchio this season. He can dance and seems like such a sweetheart so I can see him making at least the top three. She’s never placed more than second on the show, in her first season with Lopez back in 2006, but that could be a product of the partners she’s been paired with more than anything else.
Getting back to this Playboy cover, it does look hard and budget to me, but I love her boobs. They’re normal and obviously natural and we so rarely see that.

I dislike her soooo much. I wish Ralph was paired with someone else because she is so annoying!
That being said, she has a great body.
Wasn’t she also engaged to Maksim from DWTS? That seemed to be about 2 minutes ago.
I am curious to see Miss Bonilova THE MOST AMPLE PLAYMATE EVER. That I have got to see.
@Tuatara – Oh yeah, Maksim was a real dick to her too from what I remember. I really don’t pay much attention to her.
I feel like trying to find her nipples on that cover is like a messed up version of Where’s Waldo.
She looks great, and I say good for her for doing a playboy spread. She’s talented and has a long career ahead of her. Atleast they didn’t put another famewhore on their cover.
I actually think a dancer’s reality show would be pretty interesting.
porn cover.
She’s a world class dancer. When she agreed to do DWTS, I’ll admit that I was disappointed in her because I thought she was better than that cheesey show. I also don’t like that she’s doing Playboy, but I will say that she has one of the best bodies in dance, and is extremely talented. She’s got an exercise DVD that my sister the dancer swears by. So yeah, I don’t like what she’s done with her career, but the woman is mega-talented.
This is one of her award-winning routines from her dance days prior to DWTS:

She really can’t be beat.
Since she wouldn’t be on the entertainment radar much more than she already is as a dancer on DWTS… (they’re really there to promote the other celeb C-Listers, not be C-Listers themselves) probably a good move for her.
The nice body makes the generic face tolerable in both cases– DWTS and Playboy.
The cover is…awful. Her body is amazing, but it is not a fantastic cover. What is she wearing? A fishnet body suit? It isn’t sexy. It’s…trashy.
I say budget- she’s already got kind of a hard look and once you pair that with the slutty outfit, you get trashy escort ad.
@Roma
lmao! exactly. They air brushed them so you can barely see them.
I spotted the bunny.
For the love of God, the repair of a deviated septum does not affect the outside of the nose! Not unless it was totally smashed & that would have totally apparent prior to the nose job. I had my septum deviated by my evil ex when he headbutted me in the face & when I finally got it fixed, my nose looked exactly the same.
Ok, I feel better now. I think its pretty trashy, but its Playboy so I don’t expect super high class stuff from them. Other than their articles, I mean. They publish some great stuff & read my husband’s copy every month! 🙂
Edit: And I can never find the bunny! Arg!
…who is she?
she’s a beautiful woman and posing for playboy isn’t going to ruin her career. infact Kerina reminds me of a russian version of a young Lynn Redgrave except Lynn is an oscar nominated actress and the younger sister of an actual winner
you hit it right on the nose CB:
BUDGET.
i mean the 1st thing i thought was, ‘i know playboy is in trouble, but i didn’t think things would come to this!’
hugh would be rolling in his grave if her were 6ft under.
tragic.
ps – the overuse of photoshop would ‘not’ be a bad thing in her case. yikes! 🙁
Whoopie
The outfit was obviously picked up on Hollywood Blvd at Budget Lingerie Mart, in the bin marked “All onesies 9.99 or less”.
Also, I don’t get why anyone would care if she does playboy, she’s nearly naked every week on national tv.
She has a slamming body, but her face is busted.
@courtney:
What are you on, and how can I get some???
@ Bodi #14: Ha, ha! I called my husband and told him I wanted to see his copy. He said “I am at work right now” I have got to see this AMPLE lady!
@Roma HAHAHAHA.
Yucky. Her face is a bit boyish, and slathering all that makeup on gives her a tranny vibe.
Remember when playboy had 10-15 page interviews with the likes of Gore Vidal, Castro, Saul Bellow, John Updike, Norman Mailer, Angela Davis, etc. in the 70s, it’s now a cheap version of Maxim. One stat: I believe in the 70s a quarter of all males read/subscribed to it; now it’s barely on the map. As for this girl, meh, I’ll wait for my Frederick’s catalogue – maybe she could appear in that.
She looks like a hooker. Agree about her boobs, though.
The bunny is at the very bottom of the earring hanging off her left ear.
Does Playboy have the same stylist they had in the 80’s?
budget! but thats the look playboy is going for these days. On the other hand, didn’t DWTS said they will fire her if she posed?
Her face has always, always looked tranny to me, I just can’t get past it. Ick.
Demi Lovato better take a good look at this if she wants to know what she’ll look like when she’s all washed up.
Her hair looks pretty.
