Brooke Burke dwts dancing with the stars madeo smile

Brooke Burke-Charvet is not only a gorgeous gal, but a fabulous friend.

The Dancing With the Stars host, who wore a snug purple dress to dinner at LA's Madeo, is opening up about her support for gal pal Giuliana Rancic's breast cancer struggle.

Burke-Charvet tells Prevention magazine:

    "As soon as I found out my friend Giuliana Rancic was diagnosed with breast cancer, I booked my mammogram. I called her from the doctor's office and said, 'Thank you for provoking me to have this done.' "


Brooke is beautiful ... inside and out!
