They may spend hours in the studio practicing their routines, but these DWTS contestants still manage to keep their energy way up -- especially for the photogs!

Nancy Grace couldn't stop smiling as she wrapped her arms around hottie dance partner, Tristan McManus, while taking time to sign a few autographs for fans.

Not to be outdone by the competition, Carson Kressley grabbed an umbrella and hammed it up for the cameras, showing off a pair of fabulous psychedelic shoes.

The Queer Eye for the Straight Guy star didn't end up getting his dream dancing partner, Ukrainian hunk Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but he's "glad" to have a female partner because, "Anna [Trebunskaya] will be so much easier to lift over my head," Kressley confessed to USA TODAY.
