EXCLUSIVE: Derek Hough Steps Out With New Woman; Shannon Elizabeth Nowhere In Sight

Let's see if Derek Hough can dance his way out of this one.

Derek was all over a short blonde girl Thursday night at Guys & Dolls in West Hollywood and dance/romantic partner Shannon Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen. Derek held his new friend's hand, played with her hair and kissed her neck.

How do we know? Because we saw the entire thing with our RadarOnline.com eyes, that's how. Even the part where she was sitting on his lap. 

Derek was also chugging beer straight out of the bottle. Party on, dude! We're sure he'll dance off those calories if he has to explain this to Shannon.
