“I’m kind of excited for ‘The Situation,’ ” said “Dancing With the Stars” alum Kelly Osbourne, sitting front row at the Anna Sui show and mega-enthused about DWTS’ upcoming new season and cast, including  Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of “Jersey Shore” fame (make that  infamy).

She’s also pulling for “Dirty Dancing” sweetie Jennifer Grey, who she’s talked to on the phone.  “Jennifer is paired with last  season’s winner” — dancer Derek Hough, who’s won twice, including last  season with Nicole Scherzinger) — “and, given who her father is and the whole ‘Dirty Dancing’ thing, a lot of pressure is on her,” said Osbourne, who, um, knows a thing or two about larger-than-life dads.  (Grey’s dad just happens to be Broadway and Hollywood song-and-dance legend Joel Grey.)

But what about you, Kelly?  When you let loose at  the clubs these days, do all those weeks of dance practice help?  “Noooo!” she says, laughing.  “ 'Cuz it’s not like I’m gonna break out  in a foxtrot or anything.  Everyone always asks that.  But I just  stick to the two-step, thank you very much.”
