Michael Yo Reportedly "Cutting the Rug" with Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff

Is Michael Yo the new "dance partner" off stage to Dancing with the Stars personality Karina Smirnoff? People.com reported April 29 that the former Dancing with the Stars personality Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff have allegedly broken up, and that the latter was seen allegedly hanging out ("dancing and canoodling") with E! Entertainment's Michael Yo at a Hollywood restaurant. Dancing with the Stars own Karina Smirnoff is reportedly moving out of the home of Mario Lopez in the Los Angeles, California area, so will celebrity hounds be looking to see her officially coupled with Michael Yo?

Meanwhile, E! Online says it's not true.

Common Sense and Proper Ways To Break Up With Someone

Unless you're one of the beautiful people like Mario Lopez, Karina Smirnoff, Michael Yo, or one of the Dancing with the Stars cast members, it's hard to gauge how these jet-setters break up with each other. Whether they do it having respect for the other's feelings is immaterial, as everyone should keep these common sense and respectful tips in mind when breaking up with someone:

Break Up In Person

Don't send a fax, or your best friend, or even call someone (if at all possible) to break up. Someone has shared your life with you for a spell or a long time. The least he or she could get is the break up message delivered personally. If you're worried about the person going to pieces, try arranging a meeting in a public place before dark (out of earshot of others). This way, there's a better chance they'll act more civil if others are around. And if they try to do something rash, you've got witnesses and the potential to get the authorities involved. Breaking up with someone on your home turf or theirs can potentially lead to trouble. Just watch a few episodes of COPS to see what I mean!
