Forgive us for using political figures so often lately, but when Eliot Spitzer is caught sleeping with hookers, or President George W. Bush poses for the photo below with the Easter Bunny, we really have no choice. Give us your best shot …

That's Mario, the R&B singer who uses only his first name (real name Mario Dewar Barrett), and not Mario Lopez, former Saved By the Bell Star.

Karina Smirnoff is partnering with the former on Dancing With the Stars this season. Three seasons ago, she partnered with Mario Lopez.

Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff fell in love and are still dating as a result of that season of Dancing With the Stars. All caught up?

The DWTS pro and certified cutie responded this week to rumors that she is hooking up with her current partner, the R&B singer Mario.

«We have a completely professional relationship,» Karina Smirnoff said. «I have a lot of respect for Mario. He is a great person.»

Mario and Karina: The 2008 Dancing With the Stars edition.

The New York Post reported this week that the current DWTS iteration of Mario and Karina were «making out by the valet with their hands all over each other» at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Juicy gossip!

Mario's rep denies the claim, saying «this did not happen.»

But a source close to the talented singer insists «there is definitely chemistry and a flirtation between the two.» Then again, it is dancing.

Ah, what would Dancing With the Stars be without constant hookup rumors? Or the incredibly attractive and somehow still chaste Julianne Hough?

Today's New York Post links former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to Wicked Models, a second high-priced prostitution ring busted this week.

Three weeks ago Spitzer stepped down as governor after being tied to Emperors Club VIP. His spokeswoman denies he was a «Wicked» client.

Based in midtown Manhattan, Wicked Models was run by a buxom blonde named Kristin «Billie» Davis, who also saw clients as a hooker herself.

The ex-governor regularly patronized Wicked Models according to financial documents and evidence unearthed in a yearlong prostitution investigation.

Kristin «Billie» Davis, 32, is presently being held on $2 million bail after entering a plea of not guilty to charges of promoting prostitution and money laundering.

A source said that Davis - not to be confused with Sex and the City star Kristin Davis, or with Kristen, the alias by which the disgraced politician knew Ashley Alexandra Dupre, now a household name - personally serviced Spitzer.

«She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times» since 2003, before she became a madam, a source close to Kristin «Billie» Davis said.

When asked about the allegation, Davis told The New York Post, «I can't talk about it.» Spitzer's spokeswoman, who has all the credibility in the world at this point, said that «Mr. Spitzer was not ever a client of Ms. Davis.»

It could happen. Just maybe.

And what a glorious two-hour ride it would be.

«We have kind of talked about it,» star Lauren Conrad tells MTV News.

«We have absolutely talked about it.»

«I think if they were going to do a film of The Hills, they would basically film it like we do the show, and they would just edit it into a movie,» the beautiful Laguna Beach alum added. «It would be like a really long episode!»

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port of The Hills fame.

The Spring set of episodes of the third season of the MTV hit, which debuted this past Monday with the much anticipated «Paris Changes Everything,» continues to follow Lauren Conrad & Co. in search of love and career success.

The Monday premiere scored The Hills' highest ratings ever, attracting 4.7 million viewers and cementing the show's status as MTV's cash cow.

This episode of The Hills was the most watched program on all TV for viewers aged 12 to 34 and the highest rated cable telecast of 2008.

While Bret Michaels searches for romance on Rock of Love, another member of '80s hair band Poison is going about it in a different manner.

Rikki Rockett was arrested on a rape warrant issued out of Mississippi as he arrived at LAX after getting off a flight from New Zealand.

According to the L.A. Daily News, Rikki Rockett, 46, was arrested on Monday at the airport and then booked into the Los Angeles County Jail.

Rockett was held on a strong-arm rape warrant stemming from Neshoba County, Missisippi, and appears to have been released from L.A. County custody.

Details about the warrant were not immediately available. Messages left with state police officials in Mississippi have so far been unanswered.

Rockett was born Richard Ream (really!) in Mechanicsburg, Pa., where he worked as a hairdresser, lifeguard, dishwasher, EMT and a suit salesman before he co-founded the band Poison with still-infamous vocalist Bret Michaels.

In random news, in late 1993, Rikki discovered that Poison guitarist Richie Kotzen was having a relationship with Rockett's fiancee at the time, Deanna Eve.

Kotzen was fired following this incident.

This is obviously a sad story, but Richie Sambora no longer has the Washed Up '80s Rockers Facing Legal Problems Club all to himself this week, at least.
