Maria Menounos has secured a safe spot right at the top in the current season of Dancing with the Stars, as her glorious beauty and fluid dance moves making her a frontrunner in the contest. It seems that the gorgeous TV host has her eyes set on the winning pedestal, as she just can’t stop herself from tapping her feet.

Maria was recently spotted indulging in a rather hilarious practice session, as she slipped into a tight, blue dress, and UGG boots, flaunting her curves, while she jived to imaginary tunes. Even the foot injuries that she has endured on the show so far were not enough to stop her from getting her moves right.

Apparently, Maria has suffered a stress fracture in one of her feet, as well as pain in both the bones. But still, as she beamed with joy during her faux performance, the excitement in the air was palpable. One of the crewmembers of the show was lucky enough to have gotten a chance to accompany the starlet as she shook her bod to perfection.

The hard work definitely paid off on Monday night’s performance, as Maria earned herself the first perfect score of this season. As she got into the skin of sharp-fanged vampire clad in a seductive red lace dress, she looked every bit the part.

Maria was all-praises for her partner Derek Hough after the performance, and exclaimed that she loves him. With the electrifying passion between them, and their sizzling chemistry, these two seem to be the perfect candidates for the DWTS crown this season!
