We know that “Dancing with the Stars” is cursed, but the injuries have always started after the show got underway. This season doesn’t make its debut until Monday night but two stars have already been benched by injuries.

ABC reports that singer Jewel and TV host Nancy O’Dell have both dropped out of the competition due to injuries sustained while training for the show. Jewel has been diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while O’Dell suffered a torn meniscus. Jewel, whose rodeo champ husband Ty Murray is still on the show, stated:

“When the doctors told me my injuries were so severe that I couldn’t walk, let alone compete, I was devastated that I couldn’t continue the show. I have every intention of being at ‘Dancing with the Stars’ this season supporting my husband, Ty, and his partner, Chelsie (Hightower). I hope to be back on the show in the future.”

Jewel managed to break both legs while training for a TV show? Ty better keep her away from horses or anything else that she could fall from. Here’s what O’Dell said:

“Beyond disappointment doesn’t even being to describe how I feel about not being able to continue on ‘Dancing with the Stars. It has been one of my favorite shows since Season One! But I have torn the meniscus in my knee in two places, which requires surgery. ‘Dancing with the Stars’ was a great experience. I’ll miss working with my partner, Tony Dovolani, and all the other wonderful people on the amazing production that is ‘Dancing with the Stars’”

Substitutes have not been named but former “Girl Next Door” Holly Madison is rumored to be ready to step into her “Dancing” shoes. This year’s winner of “DWTS” won’t be the contestant who dances the best—it will be the one left standing at the end when all the others are in traction.

She’s usually the one giving us excusives on celebrity babies, but this time she was showing off her own bundle of joy. Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell showed off Ashby Grace in New York City yesterday in front of fans and a slew of photographers. Nancy gave birth to Ashby Grace last June and this is her first child with husband Keith Zubchevich. I didn’t know this until now, but Nancy was a beauty pageant girl and even represented South Carolina in the Miss America pageant. She does have that pageant stance on Access Hollywood. You know what I’m talking about – she stands with perfect posture and her hands to her side. Okay, maybe I’m the only one who noticed that. At any rate, Ashby Grace looks adorable and Nancy looks extremely giddy with joy, so double good times for them. Thanks for giving us a peek at your new baby, Nancy. Say hi to Billy Bush for us.
