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.
Stay tuned ...

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."

He was trying to give his stepdaughter a compliment, but all Bruce Jenner did was confirm everyone's assumption that Kim Kardashian is a spoiled rich girl who "never competed for anything in her life."
Adding that his BFF was the casting director for "DWTS" didn't help her out much either.

She's got the perfect stripper name, but Karina Smirnoff is no exotic dancer.
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.

Being eliminated before an 82-year-old hip-shaking (and breaking) dinosaur is embarrassing -- so no wonder Jeff Ross is already playing dumb about ever appearing on "Dancing with the Stars" in the first place.

Our photog was brave enough to ask the ginormous Warren Sapp about being the hissy fit throwing diva on the "Dancing with the Stars" set -- his reaction was priceless.

When we're wrong, we admit it -- but the stupid questions we threw at John O'Hurley in front of the Ivy yesterday were downright disastrous and he really let us know it.

Yesterday we joked Lance Bass may be going straight. Well, he might want to rethink that because now Sharon Osbourne wants to sleep with him.

If voting were up to the cast and crew of "DWTS" -- we're told Warren Sapp would be the first one to go.
Our spies at "DWTS" tell TMZ Sapp may have big personality when the cameras are rolling, but his big head and man-diva attitude are causing problems behind the scenes.
We're told Sapp talks down to everybody (especially the guy dancers and production assistants), yells at people and consistently walks out of rehearsals with partner Kym Johnson.
Move ovah, Shannon Elizabeth!

As a senior at New Jersey's Jonathan Dayton Regional High in 1983 (left), comedian Jeffrey Ross probably never imagined someday he'd be "Dancing" on national television with a babe like Edyta Sliwinska.
At least not for long.

Has Lance been pulling a "Chuck and Larry" this whole time just to bag girls?
Lance Bass was all over his dance partner Lacey Schwimmer on "DWTS" last night -- and then left One Sunset with a car packed full of chicas afterwards. OK, so his BF was at the club too ... but they didn't go home together.

Our "Dancing with the Stars" spies tell us the drama has started, and there is already a casualty.
We're told comedian Jeff Ross got poked in the eye during rehearsal. Edyta was the pok-er, he the pok-ee. One of our spies says Ross was taken to the emergency room. Sources say a doctor has told Ross he cannot dance tonight.
And another injury -- Karina Smirnoff sprained her ankle, also during rehearsal today. She's expected to dance with partner Rocco DiSpirito.
Our fire department sources say two ambulances were dispatched to the location today, one at 11:31 AM and a second at 12:34 PM.
UPDATE: The show is now live on the East coast. Ross appeared with an eye patch. The show aired the actual poke and the ambulance coming to get him. Unclear if he'll dance.
UPDATE 2 (***SPOILER ALERT***): Eye patch? What eye patch? Jeff danced without one ... but recorded the lowest score so far. Apparently being able to see straight helps in dancing. Who knew?

"Dancing with the Stars" finally has its first blind dancer -- Edyta Sliwinska.
O.K. so she's not what doctors would call "optically impaired," but Edyta is the first person who doesn't think Kim Kardashian has a gargantuan backside. May we present Exhibit A.
