The injury report
Dancing With The Stars has seen a fair share of injury and incident in its latest season. A total of five celebs have been injured thus far. (This is only week two!) Season 8 premiered last Monday sans two big stars, Jewel and Nancy O’dell. Both were forced to quit the show, before it even began!
Jewel fractured both of her tibias during practice for the competition.
O’Dell went down with a torn meniscus that will require surgery.
Both Jewel and O’Dell were replaced, just a week before the season premiere, by Bachelor castoff Melissa Rycroft and Playboy playmate Holly Madison.

The newest star to join the injured list is Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak. Despite a cast on his left leg, Wozniak wants to continue. He was seen leaving an L.A. dance studio just last week, wear he prepared to soldier on through the competition.
“He has decided to continue because he loves the show so much. He has seen a doctor and is taking precautions and resting his foot whenever he can.” said an ABC spokesperson.
Jackass star, Steve-O has been battling an ongoing back injury. He says he’s had to walk through his salsa routine, rather than actually practice all the tricks they’ve incorporated. Sex in the City hottie, Gilles Marini won’t let a separated shoulder keep him from performing the quick-step. He had this to say in an interview with The Insider :
“[Last] Monday morning I heard a little crack and had a sharp pain in my shoulder. I didn’t want to say anything. I had an X-ray and found out I have a separated shoulder. I got a cortisone shot and it’s much better.”
