DWTS' Karina Scolds Aaron for His Twilight Blunder

Aaron Carter didn't exactly get spanked by Karina Smirnoff because he's lacking in the Twilight appreciation department, but she did give him a good talkin'.

Earlier this week, Carter got a lot of flack from Twi fans because not only didn't he do cartwheels for being compared to Robert Pattinson on Dancing With the Stars, but he admitted he still hadn't seen Twilight.

"I told Aaron, 'Don't put that out there. What if Rob does the next season of Dancing With the Stars?! I want him to come and dance,' " laughed Smirnoff.

As a little extra incentive for Pattinson, Smirnoff said she plans to watch Twilight with Carter as soon as the season is over. "Then we're going to tweet about Rob's great performance," she told us last night at the Genlux, Ford Models and Madison Kelly fashion party in Beverly Hills.

While we love our DWTS, we can't imagine Rob will be signing up for the show anytime soon.

Besides, Smirnoff isn't exactly lacking in the romance department…

Smirnoff, who called it quits with fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy last month, was recently spotted kissing San Francisco Giants pitcher Brad Penny.

"You know, I'm single and I'm loving life," she said. "And this is what single girls do. We date and hopefully one day meet Prince Charming."

Smirnoff insists she's surprised by the attention she and the pro baseball player are getting. "My friends called me and they were like, 'We just saw you on Good Day L.A.,' " she said. "I was like, 'Are you for real?' What happened to traffic alerts? What about Balloon Boy? Come on!"

She also said the young Mr. Carter, 21, has helped her through the Maks breakup. "He's very understanding," Smirnoff explained. "Every time I'd come in and my head wasn't in the right place, he'd say, 'Girl, you're doing what you love. It's dancing. Come help me be the best dancer I can be for you.' "
