Dancing with the Stars

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."

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.

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.

"Dancing with the Stars" staffers are falling over each other to slam the show's grande dame Cloris Leachman.

Snitches tell the Chicago Sun-Times everyone from Susan Lucci to Samantha Harris has had enough of Cloris' "obnoxious schtick" and there are "deep concerns" she's driving viewers away. Lucci is "outraged" Cloris has made it this far.

Sources tell TMZ Julianne Hough from "Dancing with the Stars" has been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after having severe stomach pains backstage.

We're told she complained of stomach pains all day, but after her performance they became unbearable.

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.
