Both Jewel and Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell have withdrawn from the Dancing with the Stars due to injuries from the rigorous training required. Nancy suffered a torn meniscus, and Jewel suffered after x-rays revealed a fractured tibiae in both lower legs. OUCH! Jewel recounts what her doctor told her:

"He said, ’You’re done.’ You’re not going to dance and you’re not going to walk! You’re on crutches."

"My doctor said under no circumstances could I continue, because if the fractures get worse we were looking at longterm damage like arthritis at a young age or pins in my legs. Neither of those were an option."

Jewel will be replaced by Girl Next Door Holly Madison, who will dance with Jewel’s former partner Dmitry Chaplin.

Jewel hasn’t spoken to Madison yet, but she does have some advice for the buxom blonde:

"Listen to your dance partner, don’t have an attitude and pace yourself."

Jewel says she has every intention of making a comeback. Not only does she intend to sing a song or two from her upcoming album, Lullaby, this season, but she actually wants to dance again.

"Hopefully, they’ll have me back and team me up with Dmitry again so we can finish what we started. I’ll just need to go slower next time."

We’ll see if Jewel ever comes back. We suggest taking calcium with vitamin D for a while, and drinking soy milk which contains genistein to help bone density, before coming back.

executive producer Conrad Green said in a press release Thursday:

“Though we share in their disappointment that they can no longer continue, their physical well-being takes precedent above all else. We thank them both for giving it their all and wish them a quick and full recovery.”

Take good care of your bodies ladies.

Despite Kim Kardashian barely dancing crappy performance, Dancing with the Stars still attracted 21 million viewers last night. Who was your favorite?

We’d rather see Kim as a Pussycat Doll shaking her booty, and not dancing.

Kim should really focus on a Vivid Video career. That’s where her talent is. Of course, she’d be really big in Hong Kong.

Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas won this season’s Dancing with the Stars. The couple got the highest dancing scores ever, and yet I was bored with the show at least 90% of the time this year. One of these couples needs to have a juicy and drama fueled affair next year, or I may just stop watching completely. Spice it up.

Jason Taylor appears to have a problem farting uncontrollably during rehearsals. Has he ever heard of Beano?

Despite rupturing a tendon in his left arm, Cristian de la Fuente said he is willing to continue in the competition with his partner Cheryl Burke. Fuente asked viewers to vote for them. (Sympathy vote)

Fuente will require surgery to repair the ruptured tendon, which was confirmed by an MRI. His doctor said the surgery could be performed at a later date.

Did Fuente and Burke get voted off? NO!

Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough were voted off, which was expected since Elizabeth CRIED throughout their final dance.

Fuente should have done the right thing and just withdraw from the competition. His arm needs surgery, and he needs it to dance. Of course, if Heather Mills can dance with one leg, maybe Fuente can pull it off with one arm, but it’s doubtful.
