Anyone else realize she says they've been friends for 14 years, but the article reports they just met on that stupid show??

I was thinking the same thing. They really need to check there facts.

I totally caught that mistake too. I guess people who write and print these stories are too lazy to check it out before it goes to press.

I KNOW!! It was like if they wrote the article first and then when the interview with PEOPLE was posted they decided to incorporate it. Just goes to show you what journalism has become. People write whatever with out checking facts. Besides, most of the professionals on DWTS did not just meet when they started the show. Most of them have been professionally competing with each other for years so they know each other.

This 'romance' was just a publicity stunt. It never had a sense of realism or authenticity about it. I stopped watching Dancing With The Stars because of too many of these contrived and fabricated side issues that are created to boost ratings.

Once they both realized that neither was a multi-millionaire they "bounced". Looks fad, as do jobs in Hollywood, so without major bank, the money musical chairs begin. Nothing worst than walking around L.A. with either saggging boob's or a hair piece, old, no dough, as a "use to be".

I knew when he started putting pressure on her that she would swim away. Maxium is ready to do the father, family domesticated scean in his life. She wants to party and have love affairs until she is well into her forties. Doesn't make her a bad person, just one that lives life to write love memiors with.

izzboe and Debbie, you both missed the more serious mistake: "there" is a place. "Their" is the possessive pronoun.

They are people just like everyone else. Maks and Karina are just higher profile. I too wondered when I read that Maks was ready for children. One is not willing to compromise. Child birth would effect her career, but not his so I'm guessing it might be Karina. It's just speculation on my part.
