So it looks like the crazy Dancing with the Stars curse has struck former Playboy bunny Holly Madison.
After TMZ revealed yesterday what Dancing with the Stars contestant Shawn Johnson's sweet, sweet contract, it's no wonder these stars are breaking hips, dodging stalkers and busting knees to stay on the show.
So here's a rundown of the injuries thus far: Jewel and Nancy O'Dell both wrecked their knees before the show even started. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak also busted his knee. Sex and the City actor Gilles Marini pulled his groin, Steve-O is pretty much a cripple, Shawn Johnson almost got bound and gagged by her stalker and now Holly Madison may have cracked a rib.
Apparently, Holly hurt her rib during rehearsals last week, but kept dancing due to the enormous financial bonuses stars gets for staying on the show. Holly's mouthpiece said the pain has gotten so bad that she can't do some of the moves anymore, so she's going off to the doctor to see if he can fix her. But there's a possibility that she has a cracked rib.
The Emergency Room Dancing with the Stars show has seen its share of casualties. Last season, Jennie Garth fell, Marie Osmond passed out, Jane Seymour's mom died, and then Seymour got food poisoning. A coincidence? Or a centuries-old hex?
