Dancing with the Stars

Shannon Elizabeth is harboring a killer! Well, not exactly. But her dog did kill a poor defenseless puppy.

Try to follow this one. Derek Hough's mom blogged that one of Shannon's four dogs killed her daughter Katherine's maltese teacup puppy. Shannon tried to make amends by giving Derek's sis a rescue "replacement" pup.

Turns out this is a big no-no in the animal activist world -- which Shannon should know, since she founded her own dog rescue org.

Now here's the kicker. Katherine Hough has 86'd the pup and given it to her "DWTS" sis Julianne. But Julianne can't keep the dog so she's looking for a new home on her own blog.

The guy who recently got a black eye from his daughter and her BF -- he says everything is great now -- is furious that he got dissed by "Dancing with the Stars," and now he's taking out his anger on some poor Sapp ... named Warren.

So there's a rumor out there that Kim Kardashian may be back on "Dancing with the Stars" after Misty May tapped out with an Achilles tendon injury.

Here's what we know. Kim is flying back from New Orleans tomorrow. Our source in the know says she's coming home "to meet with ABC execs about her future with the show."

Here's the weird part: We're told KK's partner, Mark Ballas, has not been contacted about coming back.

Apparently an orange jumpsuit and sequins just don't match. Helio Castroneves latest indictment may cause him to lose his chance to dance.

TMZ sources close to "Dancing with the Stars" have told us that Helio was tapped for a visit to the "DWTS" ballroom to perform later in the season, but with his latest legal struggles that's probably not going to happen.

Many crew members were shocked with the latest accusations and have attempted to contact Helio to give their support.

As for the performance -- its still tentatively scheduled, but the show may want to get John O'Hurley on speed dial just in case.

Misty May-Treanor's mantle may only big enough for her gold medals, now that she may be forced out of "Dancing with the Stars" due to an injury during a Friday rehearsal.

Treanor was practicing with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, when she had to be taken to Cedars Sinai hospital.

ABC has released a statement regarding Misty's condition, "Dancing with the Stars contestant Misty May-Treanor sustained an injury on Friday and received immediate medical attention. Despite previous reports, she did not break her ankle. She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors will reevaluate her condition on Monday and determine the outcome of her participation on the show."

Adding that his BFF was the casting director for "DWTS" didn't help her out much either.

Mario Lopez's ex got our photog all worked up when she got out of her car in front of the Body Shop strip club -- but she wasn't there for the g-strings.
