Kim K to 911: I Gotta Dance!!!!!!
We've learned Kim Kardashian was "freaking out" after cutting her foot, calling 911 and later telling the EMT's she had an "emergency" because she was on "Dancing with the Stars."
We're told that the doctors (yes, plural) decided to glue rather than suture the cut on Kim K's foot ... so the wound couldn't have been that deep. BTW, it's surgical glue that holds the wound together.
We're told Kim wanted the glue because stitches take too long to heal and it would interfere with her mambo.
Bloody Sunday -- Kim K. Rushed to ER
The new season of "Dancing With the Stars" may have already lost its first competitor -- and they haven't even announced the official cast yet.
Kim Kardashian -- who is scheduled to be on the show this season -- badly cut her foot in her hotel room late Sunday night. We're told she sliced her foot open on a glass coffee table and was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital. No word on how many stitches she needed, but a source tells TMZ there was "so much blood, it looked like a murder scene."
"DWTS" makes its official cast announcement this morning and Kim is in town to do press for that and her new movie, "Disaster Movie." We're told Kim already has begun to practice for the show, but it's unclear now whether she'll be able to participate.
Slashed Kim K -- I'll Still Cut a Rug
Kim Kardashian's foot is a bloody, painful mess, but she's still gonna dance. Or at least try.
Despite the bloody gash she put in her foot this morning, KK told "GMA" that she'll give "Dancing with the Stars" the ol' college try -- but not everybody was feelin' sorry for her.
That wacky Tom Bergeron tried to insinuate that Kim K's trying to curry sympathy. Given some of the other people they rolled out this AM -- Cloris Leachman, Warren Sapp and Jeffrey Ross -- she hardly needs it.
'Dancing' Stars Tango with Burglar
Two of the dancing dudes from "Dancing with the Stars" are fuming mad after they say they got robbed at an Outback Steakhouse just minutes ago!
According to people close to the situation, some dirt bags in Minnesota broke into a van belonging to Mark Ballas and Derek Hough -- they are in town to play a gig with their band Almost Amy at a charity event in Rosedale.
After a quick dinner, Mark and Derek noticed their van had been ransacked -- thieves taking everything from iPods to luggage and even their IDs and passports.
Now, they're already offering a $1,000 reward to anyone with info that leads to getting their stuff back. Hopefully the bad guys didn't touch the rhinestone onesies!

'Dancing' Dumps Old Cloris For Heartache Toni
For "Dancing with the Stars," heart trouble makes for a better handicap than old age.
82-year-old Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman was originally courted by "DWTS" honchos, we've learned, because they needed someone for the "disability" slot -- think Heather Mills (one leg) or Marlee Maltin (deaf). They figured her age would fit the bill -- until they got Toni Braxton, who has a heart condition, to sign on, as TMZ first told you. That's when they put Cloris' dancing shoes ... six feet under.
BTW: We also hear "DWTS" peeps are over the moon that Jewel and rodeo dude Ty Murray -- who are both in the mix for next season -- just eloped in the Bahamas, because the whole boyfriend versus girlfriend storyline they wanted to exploit just got amped up to husband-wife. And we know how married couples can get.
And get this: The Lance Bass rumors? Half true. Yes, he''s definitely on, but no, he won't mambo with a man.
An ABC rep tells TMZ, "We don't comment on casting rumors, but the official cast will be announced on August 25th on ''Good Morning America.'"

Sources tell TMZ that the casting for the next season of "Dancing With The Stars" is far from complete. Producers still are scrambling on specifics and contestants.
Taking a page from Jerry Springer, the producers are trying to create some major drama, possibly by pairing exes up against each other or people who have had some sort of turbulent relationship.
Talks with Kim Kardashian, Warren Sapp, Lance Bass and "Brady Bunch" mama Florence Henderson have been confirmed. Another younger Brady also may be on board. Paging Chris Knight!
The formal cast announcement is scheduled for late August.
