Julianne Hough Blasts Her Peeps Over Cyst
Julianne Hough just blogged her management wanted her to lie about her medical condition.
Hough says: "It turned out I ruptured a cyst that was on my ovary." But she claims "my management and the other people around me were trying to think of something else I could say that was wrong with me, but I was like, don't worry. I want to be a good role model."

Julianne Hough Way More Than a Stomach Ache
TMZ has learned Julianne Hough will announce tomorrow the ailment that sent her to the emergency room last week was more than a stomach ache -- it's an ovarian cyst.
We're told she will have surgery to remove the cyst and that she'll have her appendix taken out at the same time (unrelated to the cyst).
No word on when the surgery will take place or if Julianne will remain on the show this season.
UPDATE: Julianne's official site now says: "Julianne Hough, Mercury Nashville recording artist and two time 'Dancing with the Stars' champion has been diagnosed with Endometriosis and will be undergoing minor surgery to remove her appendix. Hough experienced mild stomach pains last week and was taken to Cedars Sinai medical center. After consulting with her doctor, this course of treatment was recommended. Hough will address the surgery on Monday night's 'Dancing with the Stars' where she'll perform with celebrity partner Cody Linley.
Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen where they are not supposed to grow. It is a common medical condition found in 5-10% of women of reproductive age around the world."
Dancing with the Parking Spots
Mark Ballas might want to forget how to do the Paso Doble and start remembering where he parks.
Ballas, one of the pros from "Dancing With the Stars," was leaving a mall in Glendale, Calif. on Saturday after giving away free dancing lessons. When he couldn't find his car, he reported it stolen to mall security, who in turn contacted the police. Cops searched, eventually finding a car matching its description...going after it lights and sirens blazing -- but it wasn't Mark's ride.
Turns out Mark had been searching the wrong floor in the mall parking lot. His car was right where he left it.

Shannon Elizabeth's Murderous Pooch
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.
As they say ... screw the pooch.
