Helio Dances Around Tough Questions

Speed racer Helio Castroneves proved he can do a pretty deft pirouette -- when it comes to dodging questions about his love life, that is.


TMZ caught up with Helio at the airport in New York this afternoon, and he chatted up a storm! But when asked about getting dumped by his ex-fiancee and if he was more than dancing partners with Julianne Hough, the dancer-driver hit the brakes, saying only, "My personal life is my personal life." Julianne just giggled off all the rumors, hoarsely.

Meanwhile, Helio watched a fan mambo for him, and even got on the phone with the guy's mom -- but still, no dirt on the breakup.

21. Um. like, because, Annie -- there are REAL forms of dance and then there are little contests where the contestants get to look pretty and wear high heels and trot around the stage like two-bit show ponies. If she were a serious dancer she'd do modern or ballet, in a reputable company, and not wear sequins, a dolly parton wig, and five inch heels.

22. I challenge Helio to a dance off. He is NO dancer !!! I will Pop Lock, Break Dance, Electric Bugaloo, Robot, and Freestyle his ass.

Do you remember the 'Lockers' dance group? They are/were the BEST dancers ever !!!

23. Anyone who has won the Indy 500 twice has earned way more than 15 minutes to spend at the pop culture arcade. I would agree that the whole dancing-with-the-stars scene is a bit cheesy, but so what, it seems to all be in good fun and the ladies like it and the guys who watch it with their ladies likely appreciate its romantic vibe , too. And if Helio and Julianne are a couple, well, good for them, single and free to mingle.

24. I love Julianne and Helio and wish them both the best, they are so cute together and deserved to win the contest, Mel was obnoxious and all those tatoos were a real turn-off

25. California Girl.....can we say JEALOUS? She's precious and yes, can dance. What do you do? More power to them!

26. 12. She is SUCH a skanky camera hog. I mean, who decides to become a professional ballroom dancer (not ballet, or even serious modern dance) anyway? Isn't that like basically working at a carnival?

She does everything possible to make sure the camera is on her at all times; no doubt she'll dump his lame azz when she gets bored (give it about fifteen minutes or so)

You sound so jealous girl! (or mister lol). Get a life of your own and you won't be hating others who are beautiful, talented and successful. Good luck!! (you'll need it lol)

27. some people are such haters...I think they are cute together and very good dancers!

28. If this is the way his "ex" fiance handles the spotlight on Helio, well, he's lucky she dumped him. She should be happy for him and handle things maturely, not like some jealous, self-centered hot-head. He's going to be much more marketable after getting his name out beyond the racing world. Hope he finds someone much more willing to let him enjoy the fruits of his hard work.

29. California girl-

You are just plain ignorant. It is as simple as that.

Posted at 2:25AM on Nov 30th 2007 by Just because you don't care for ballroom dancing...

30. Julianne moved to Europe with her coaches to train as a ballroom dancer when she was very young. I believe her brother later joined her. They are both gifted dancers and choreographers.
