With just THREE days to go until the premiere of the 8th season of Dancing with the Stars, TWO of this season’s female dancers have withdrawn from the show due to injuries.  I’m sure this has left producers scrambling to fill their places, but imagine the pros!  They’ll have just a day or two to get their new stars up and running?  If they don’t dance on the first week’s show, will that automatically give them an advantage to getting to next week’s elimination? 

In any case, singer & songwriter Jewel (whose hubby, Ty, will also be competing) has dropped out due to fracturing BOTH tibias, and tv personality Nancy O’Dell has also dropped out because of problems with her legs.  Joining a lengthening list of side-lined celebs, I can only imagine what the rest of the season will bring.

We shall see!  Just 27 hours until tomorrow night’s 2 hour premiere!
