Smirnoff, the five-time US National ballroom dancing champion and current dance partner to Ralph Macchio on Dancing with the Stars is posing for the upcoming Playboy May edition. Rumor has it that the ABC bosses aren’t too pleased with their dancing queen going x-rated for the men’s magazine and worry about possibly tarnishing the popular show’s G-rated image.

So is Smirnoff afraid of any potential consequences from her DWTS bosses?

“I’m fearless and love the adrenaline rush,” the dancing queen says.

“Sexy is the confident energy a person produces,” Smirnoff,32, tells Playboy. “Sexy is the comfortable feeling of being who you are.”

I don’t see how it could affect DWTS, do you? Hugh Hefner says the upcoming issue with Karina baring all is unforgetable. I wonder how much did he have to pay her to get naked? Must be a whole lot to get that adrenaline rush, you think?
