"All these diamonds set into platinum provide maximum shimmer that's fit for a fairytale princess, and Karina has always liked romantic style rings," O'Connor, who once worked with Smirnoff for an awards show, tells UsMagazine.com.
Smirnoff, 32, said Penny popped the question back in October after she Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino were voted off DWTS.

"I was in the middle of the show and had no clue what was cooking behind my back," she told Us, adding that the proposal happened at what she thought was a business meeting. "Even after Brad got down to one knee and opened the box with the ring, it still didn't register."
Added Smirnoff: "I'm the happiest I've ever been and Brad is the sole reason for that."

10She comes off as being high maintenance, but then that's just the vibe I get from her, I could be wrong. She may not have a nice face to look at, but she does have a beautiful body. And it has been proven, men will marry a woman for their face or their body. We know why Brad is marrying Karina.....and it's not her face.
Brad is such a lucky man marrying a woman as beautiful as she is...
not all stars that get facial work have it as obviously as Karina does. as I've said previously stars have always had expensive engagement/wedding/anniversary sets especially if it's to mark a major anniversary like the 25th or 50th. though in the example I'm going to give the woman didn't get jewlery for her 25th wedding anniversary but a silver sherry cup correct that would be Joanne Woodward on her and Paul Newman's 25th anniversary January 29th 1983 he gave her a hand engraved silver sherry cup assherry is her favorite alcoholic Beverage. if Karina and her Fiance stay married half that long I'll be surprised granted Newman & Woodward were married 50 years 7 months and 28 days when he passed away September 26th 2008 the day before their middle daughter Melissa's 47th birthday
She definitely needs to lay off the plastic surgery...I get that she's not aging well but stop playing with the face because it's very obvious. Lets see if she actually makes it down the aisle...
She is so weird looking.
that's nothing stars have always had expensive engagement rings/wedding sets/anniversary sets price varies by quality and cut of diamond and metal setting platinum is always the most expensive some people will do anything to keep their names in the news
$95,000 for a ring?! Jeez! Poor Brad's going to be bankrupt by their 2nd anniversary (if they make it that long!)
What is wrong with her mouth? And people knock Lohan's new lips. This is just absurd looking...they are both about equal.
Everytime I look up it seems as if Karina is engaged. Best of luck to them, but let’s see how long this one lasts http://djaw.ir/126
When I saw her on dwts with that loser partner, she looked much older than 32, oh well. I could be debt free for that price, dammit!
