That’s the story one Dancing With The Stars set insider is telling! Chuck reportedly kicked Julianne to the curb after discovering that she had been secretly “sexting” her fellow DWTS pro behind his back, a show snitch blabs in an article featured in the Nov. 30 issue of The National Enquirer. (Consider the source!)

“Publicly, Chuck and Julianne are saying the split was ‘mutual’ and they simply ‘needed some time apart, but the truth is that Chuck had been been using Julianne’s cell phone and discovered a slew of sexy text messages that she and Maks had been sending each other,” says the tipster, who asked not to be identified.

Chuck, 30, and Julianne, 21, met in August 2008 when they were both acts on Brad Paisley’s summer tour. The two fell in love almost instantly. The couple was later paired together for a season of fancy footing on the eighth installment of Dancing With The Stars. But it all went down hill for the lovebirds after Chuck, the once-promising “Stealing Cinderella” singer, fell into a career slump.

According to The Enquirer scoop, Chuck discovered the secret romance between Maks and Julianne when he used his girlfriend’s cell to make some emergency calls after the battery in his own phone died; that’s when he stumbled upon dozens of early morning, NC-17-rated text messages to Maks in Julianne’s call log.

Julianne broke down and confessed to the romance — saying that it began with Maks while she was in L.A., the tabloid writes. “It crushed Chuck,” says the tattle. “Julianne may look like an angel, but she’s a tough cookie. Chuck decided then and there to call it quits.”

Well, at least he isn’t bitter…..

Maks and Karina began dating last winter, shortly after her public split from notorious womanizer Mario Lopez. After a nine-month engagement, the dancing duo called it quits in September, but have had to see each other daily on the ABC hit. The daily run-ins have been anything but pleasant for Maks, who claims that despite Karina’s declarations to the contrary, the exes are no longer friends.

“No,” Maks replied when asked whether he is still friends with Karina at the LA County Fair on Sept. 27. “She’s a lot better at hiding her feelings apparently than I am. I just need to drop the sad person act and move on.”

Smirnoff, 31, and Chmerkovskiy, 28, became engaged in December and had planned on getting married in June 2010, but prolonged their engagement in July due to their busy theater schedules.

“I am confirming that they did indeed break up,” says a rep for Karina — who began dating her DWTS co-star after a messy split with former flame Mario Lopez.

The dancers became engaged in December 2008 but plan wait until next summer for their wedding.
Maksim and Karina have hired a wedding planner for their June 2010.

“We don’t plan [the wedding],” Maksim told PEOPLE Magazine on Friday. “We’re [working] 14 hours a day. This is our life right now,” he said. “We’re not rushing,” Karina added. “As long as we’re together, tying the knot is a plus, it’s something extra.”

The two are currently in the new Broadway dance show Burn The Floor.

Maks and Karina will star in the show for the first three weeks of its run, which kicks off at New York’s Longacre Theatre on July 25 for previews and officially opens on August 2.

Dancing With The Stars pros and real-life couple Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have revealed to PEOPLE.com that they will tie the knot next June.

“If it was just friends and family that would be one thing, but there are so many people telling us, ‘We’ll be there, we want to come!’ So we said, Okay, the wedding is turning out to be a bigger production,” Maksim explains. “We want to take our time. You don’t want to piss anybody off or hurt anybody.”

Maks also announced that he and Karina are looking to hire a wedding planner, telling PEOPLE:

“We are currently interviewing a few wedding planners because we figure we could use professional help.”

Dancing With Stars’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff — who have been heating up more than just dancefloor since they began dating last year — celebrated their engagement at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Friday.

Maks and Karina got engaged on New Year’s Eve and plan to wed later this year.

Sounds like The Woz grew very close to professional dancer Karina Smirnoff when the two were partnered together on the eighth season of the ABC ballroom reality series Dancing With The Stars. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told CYInterview.com’s Chris Yandek that he plans “to walk Karina down the aisle at her upcoming wedding to Maksim Chmerkovskiy.”

“Maks is really into scientific and mathematical type things and I have a lot of unusual little things. So we have a lot of fun joking over these things that are very unusual to know and hard to understand.”

Maksim and Denise grew close when they were paired together on the current season of the ballroom dance competition. But Karina, who was dumped by Extra host Mario Lopez just last year, was ready to cut a bitch when she heard whispers that Denise was trying to cajole Maks into meeting with her after rehearsal.

DWTS set spies say Denise’s advances towards the handsome hoofer were apparent for Day One.

A source tells The National Enquirer: “She was pretty obvious-laughing at everything he said, touching his shoulder lightly, flattering him…”

Karina, who Enquirer tipsters describe as a “friendly Ukranian,” hit the roof during a rehearsal just weeks before Denise and Maks were axed from the show in late March.

“Karina stormed into a rehearsal session, seeing red! She asked Denise what kind of game she was running. Denise feigned ignorance and said: ‘It’s all about the work.’”

Karina wasn’t buying it, exploding, “Show or no show-I will kick your ass if you don’t stop making moves on fiance,” the petite dance star fumed.

Melissa Rycroft wowed fans and judges alike with a showstopping waltz during last week’s season opener of Dancing with the Stars. But the Bachelor dumpee has her work cut out for her if she hopes to win the respect of acid-tongued professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Maks, who is paired with actress Denise Richards on DWTS 8, believes the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders has a leg up on the competition thanks to her extensive dancing background.

Is it just us or does this guy find something new to bitch about every season?

“Its very hard for me because Tony [Dovolani] is my best friend, but if we’re gonna call it what it is, it’s very unfair because Melissa’s a dancer – she was a cheerleader and did ballet,” Maksim told TVGuide.com on Sunday.

Melissa had less than 48 hours to prepare for last week’s debut after stepping in to replace Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell, who was forced to drop out of the competition due to a serious knee injury.

The lack of rehearsal time didn’t seem to affect her performance; Melissa waltz earned a score of 23 out of 30 with the judges.
