Breaking News: Injury on the Set of "Dancing"

Just hours before tonight's taping of "Dancing with the Stars," TMZ has learned that Mario Lopez's partner, Karina Smirnoff, has suffered an injury on the set of the hit ABC show.

While reps for the show are denying that any incident has occured, sources inside CBS Television Studios, where the show is taped, tell TMZ that medics were rushed to the scene to treat a muscle pull in Smirnoff's back. No word on who Lopez will dance with in the case that Smirnoff will not be able to participate in tonight's live broadcast.

Lopez will no doubt be at a disadvantage without his partner, and with reports of a romance blossoming between the two, his mind will most certainly be distracted from tonight's routine.

Mario must have been to aggressive when pounding her in the arse. He should keep his chorizo in his pants.

Mario is one of those guys who can't commit to anyone. He was enganged to be married to that beautiful girl, her name escapes me right now, And he goes out and CHEATS on her right before the wedding. What a philandering prick.

Thank God she didn't marry this guy. He'll use this poor girl up too. Whisper words of forever, play the game with her for while and then give her " the old heave HO."..... He is so tranparent. He just keeps repeating the pattern over and over and over again. He may be able to dance. But he is a piss poor partner.

Looks good on the outside. But there's not much on the inside. You can have him.

He WAS married to Ali Landry. They got divorced. I think he cheated on her with the male stripper from her bachelorette party.

Mario is washed up with his antics tonight. He and his partner are nothing but showboaters. Sorry she was hurt and i do honestly feel sorry for her. But in Mario's case there is nothing to be sorry about. He is the biggest loser on this show.

I love how she's injured and he says " She better pull it together". It's dancing with the 'B' list stars, not football. Get a grip. What a looser!!

I can't believe all of the negative comments directed to Mario....because he is absolutely breathetaking with more talent than any other person on that show.....people are jealous of him. Don't any of you remember him on the talk show with Dick Clark and Danny Bonaduce? The Other Half....he was sweet as can be! Oh he cheated on Ali. well that's their personal business and there is always two sides to a story. Maybe he chooses to keep her shortcomings to himself like a real man. I could care less because I nor you know the intimate details of his life and his relationship with his partner could be for plublicity.....and it worked.........YOU ROCK MARIO (and its obvious he is good to his mother, which means alot!) You PLAYERHATERS!!!!! HA!
