compete in the Dancing with the Stars
All-Star edition? After all, you and
your partner Lacey Schwimmer were

Bristol Palin did when you were on the show in spite of low

Lacey again?
KM: Without a doubt I would want to be paired with
Lacey! She’s the reason I came in second and I believe the

KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you
wish someone would?
KM: Yeah, “Where did you find your breathtaking swag-
ger?”
KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
KM: That One Direction song about being beautiful. Ha-

swag!
