Kim Kardashian, along with Pussycat Dolls' founder Robin Antin, grabbed a late-night bite with cute couple Mark Ballas and Pia Toscano at Beso. Back on Dancing With The Stars' Season 7, Kim and Mark were dance partners!
The Dancing With The Stars hottie is opening up about the stereotype that all male dancers are gay. The Dancing With The Stars pro says that's not the case. However, Mark does tells PopEater:
- "We have eight male professional dancers and one is gay. I never dealt with the stigma, I was at a performing arts school, so it wasn't an issue. I always thought if I were ever confronted about it, I'd just say, 'Well, while you're on the football field with a bunch of dudes, I'll be dancing with a bunch of girls.'"
Mark reveals he'd like to partner up with Pippa Middleton next season ... if she were to join the show. As for men partnering up with men on the ABC show, Mr. Ballas adds:
- "I would be totally cool with it. There are other competitions where they have same sex couples. I'd support it. There is a slight inherent disadvantage. Two girls and two men just can't move like a man and a woman. But you can try."
Love his enthusiasm! Check out Mark Ballas' new video for his song "Hotwire" ... after the jump.
DWTS' Chelsea Kane is his love interest! Awww.
