I've never really watched Dancing With The Stars (I'm a SYTYCD person) but if Holly is on it, I may have to watch. :(

Nancy O'Dell is out too.

ABC has announced that the Dancing With the Stars injury curse continues. Singer Jewel and Access Hollywood host Nancy O'Dell are withdrawing from participating in Dancing with the Stars.

Both women have suffered knee injuries during rehearsals in recent weeks. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while O'Dell has a torn meniscus that will require surgery.

Playboy bunny Holly Madison will be Jewel's replacement, the announcement for Nancy O'Dell's replacement will be announced this coming Monday, March 9th on the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars.

Jewel & Nancy O'Dell both out. They're the reason I was looking forward to this season. :gah:

Holly subbing in. I can't complain about that.

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

I think Dmitry will do better with Madison than Jewel. We'll see.

just saw on E! News that Melissa Rycroft (the one who won, then got dumped) from this seasons' "The Bachelor" is the 2nd replacement.

Ballroom dancing is simply too dangerous.

Yeah, Melissa seems to be in. Couldn't they find another D-list celebrity in L.A.? They didn't try hard enough.

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

They are really stretching the boundaries of "celebrity".

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

The others had weeks to learn the dances and these new gals will have days. That makes no sense either.

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

Melissa has dance training (she was a freakin' Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader).

I think she's a quick learner... that and she has Dmitry from SYTYCD as a partner.

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

Oh wow, can you imagine if Melissa picks up a lot of sympathy votes from simply becoming the Dumped just a week ago in the same time slot?

Re: Dancing With The Stars Cast Announced (Cycle 8 - March 2009)
 

I saw Melissa's Cowboys cheerleader pic. I can't complain about her either. Need as much hot ass as we can get since Karina is sure to get voted out in the first cut.
