Well these photos probably aren’t going to do anything to quiet the rumors that Maria Menounos and her “Dancing with the Stars” pro partner, Derek Hough, are more than just dance partners. I don’t know if that’s the case and won’t make a judgement based on these photos, but if it is the truth, I support this couple wholeheartedly. Sure he can be a bit tough on her during rehearsal but he’s trying to get the best possible performances out of her and considering how well they’re doing on the show this season, I think he’s doing a good job. They work so well together and while the status of their relationship isn’t clear from these photos, taken at the Bud Light Lime-A-Rita in Las Vegas, one thing sure is – these two have a great time together. Then again, Maria seems like the kind of woman that has a great time regardless of who she’s with or where she is. That’s why I love her so much. She’s just a positive kind of person. The world needs more Marias!

I’m not sure I’ve mentioned this recently, but I kind of have a bit of a girl crush on Maria Menounos. I love everything about her. She’s smart. She’s sexy. She has a fantastic personality. Her smile makes me smile. I am having about the worst week I’ve ever had (including the death of my beloved rabbit, Commander Bun Bun – RIP, little buddy) but somehow, looking at these photos makes me feel happy. It doesn’t hurt that William Shatner is also in these photos. He makes me smile too. Here on the set of Extra at The Grove, Maria looks adorable dressed in her casual clothes. Normally she’s a little more dressed up when she’s filming Extra, but maybe her Dancing with the Stars schedule isn’t allowing her the normal time in wardrobe. I like that. She still looks beautiful. There is nothing about this woman that I don’t love.

Have I mentioned how much I love Maria Menounos lately? The lady is just flat out adorable. Everything about her makes me smile. I’m loving her on “Dancing with the Stars” and I’m especially loving her chemistry with pro dancing partner Derek Hough. Is Derek the pretty blond boy in some of these photos? Why yes. Yes he is. Does that mean there’s truth to the rumors that these two are bumping and grinding off the dance floor as well? I doubt it. I remember those rumors about Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy a few seasons back. There are rumors about one couple or another every season. I guess it’s just Derek’s turn. Sure they’re hanging out at Mixology 101 in Los Angeles together but there are a lot of people other there. My guess? They’re friends and nothing more although stranger couples have definitely happened.

I have that whole deal about giant sunglasses but Maria Menounos may have just shut my mouth because even I have to admit she looks pretty good rocking those giant shades. Am I bias because I adore Maria like she’s my big sister? Perhaps but the fact remains I’ve actually stumbled across pictures of a celebrity wearing the big shades that I actually think looks good in them which pretty much requires me to reevaluate my position on them entirely. Well played Maria. Anyway, enough about the shades. Let’s talk about Maria’s outfit. Honestly? I love it. She looks comfortable but sexy and I really think that’s what I like most about Maria. She’s effortlessly sexy. I love everything about this woman. I can’t wait to see her on “Dancing with the Stars”.

Holy swear word! I could not possibly be more excited for this season of “Dancing with the Stars”. Why? Maria Menounos! Anyone that’s been following my posts for any amount of time knows I love this woman in a very big way for reasons beyond the fact that she’s absolutely gorgeous. I love her personality. She seems like a woman that knows how to have fun and enjoy whatever situation work puts her in and I like that. I think she’s going to be great on “Dancing with the Stars”. I’ve been quite underwhelmed with the last few seasons and wasn’t sure I was going to bother tuning in this time around. Here we see Maria arriving for DWTS rehearsal and judging by the bright smile on her face, she’s going into it with the right attitude. Love her – can’t wait to see how she does on the show. My only complaint? Wouldn’t preferred to see her partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Mark Ballas or Tristan MacManus.

Have I mentioned how much I freaking love Maria Menounos lately? Everything about this girl makes me happy. Goinh into the Super Bowl, Maria publicly stated that if the Pats lost, she’d appear on “Extra” wearing a bikini featuring the Giants team colors. Good on her for following through on that. These pictures (taken from the “Extra” Show in Los Angeles) show the results of that lost bet. To be fair though, from what I understand, she wasn’t the only person a little surprised that the Giants took the big game. I have to imagine that while your team losing the Super Bowl is a crushing disappointment to a lot of people across America, seeing Maria in a bikini – even with the Giants team colors – had to be at least a bit of a consolation prize.
