"Dancing" Curse Continues -- 2 More Injured!

Dancing With The Stars CurseThe dreaded "Dancing with the Stars Curse" has struck again -- Jewel and Nancy O'Dell have both been forced to quit the show due to dancing-related injuries!

Even with a knee full of steroids, Jewel couldn't power through the strenuous training regimen -- officials confirmed the singer fractured both of her tibias while practicing for the competition.

O'Dell was also hurt in the heat of ballroom battle -- she went down with a torn meniscus that will require surgery.

Producers haven't made any official announcements as to who will replace the two women, but there are serious rumblings that Holly Madison will take one of the spots -- and why not ... she does happen to be an expert at the horizontal mambo.

The storied "Curse" has taken down some of "Dancing's" best over the last few seasons, including -- Marie Osmond (fainted), Stacy Keibler (seizure), Susan Lucci (ankle), Jeffrey Ross (eye), Karina Smirnoff (fainted), Derek Hough (head injury), Misty May-Treanor (torn achiles), Mark Ballas (shoulder), Kym Johnson (shoulder), Toni Braxton (benign lump), Brooke Burke (foot), Julianne Hough (appendectomy), Jane Seymour (food poisoning), Cristian de la Fuente (arm), Kim Kardashian (foot) and Gilles Marini has already been diagnosed with tendinitis. And let's not forget about the most tragic injury of all ... Lisa Rinna's lips.

11. A torn meniscus doesn't necessarily need surgery.....orthopedic drs always want to do surgery even if it is not painful.......but it does mean she could not continue with the strenuous dance routines.

12. Wonder what the contracts are for the injured? Are they "independent contractors" or considered production talent/staff? Are these injuries treated like any other on the job injury? Do they get workmen's comp/disability pay?

14. I'm glad Nancy oDell is gone. Now we don't have to hear about her booby-feeding all the time, since she is one of those freaks who gives TMI on such gross topics. And we don't have to hear about how wonderfully amazing,fun and precious her fug kid is.These old bags that get pregnant should be locked up so we don't have to be subjected to their "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I POPPED A WEE ONE OUT OF MY OLD WRINKLY COOCH!" statements all the time. You'd think they were the first ones ever to have a kid. Nancy oDell and that FUGLY broad kelly rutherford who is feeding her way-too-old-to-be-breastfed son off her old leaking sacs. Her kid is like 5 and he's got his lips wrapped around mommys boobs. GROSSNESS.
