Muscly "Dancing" Star Screws Up Muscle

Posted Apr 28th 2008 10:21PM by TMZ Staff

Cristian de la Fuente was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after he suffered a pretty severe injury on "Dancing with the Stars."

Cristian and partner Cheryl Burke were doing their second dance of the evening when, suddenly, in the middle of the routine, de la Fuente did something to his forearm -- a muscle pull or something like that. They finished the dance, but quickly cut to a commercial break. When they came back from commercial, the pair was judged on the performance up to the point of injury.

The couple scored 21 for the dance -- the lowest score of the night.

No word on whether Cristian can continue in the competition.

8. I was suprised it was just a muscle pull. Rushed in an ambulance for that? It looked much worse. I guess time will tell. Of course, they do have a flare for the dramatic on that show, esp. when it comes to ambulances!

12. Cheryl looked more p*ssed than concerned for her partners injury. In her head she must have said "Crap, now how am I going to get on TMZ... oh wait... I'll go out tonight and get drunk and re-style my bangs!" 14:56..14:57..14:58..14:59

15. Even if they had finished the dance they would still be on the bottom with a total of-50. The dance did not warrant more than the first....we wanted them to leave differently than this way....SouthSan, contact us asap...
