Julianne Hough, Dancing Star Without Appendix
Julianne Hough's dancing feet are working just fine. Her appendix...well, that's another story.
The Dancing With the Stars pro is set to have her appendix removed tomorrow. Despite her pending surgery, "she will be dancing tonight," a show insider exclusively tells E! News.
On her website, the two-time DWTS champ confirms the pending procedure and also announces she has been diagnosed with endometriosis, a common problem affecting women that can result in growths outside the uterus and adjacent organs.
She could return to DWTS as soon as next week. Until Hough is cleared for cha-chaing, partner Cody Linley will be paired with another dancer.
Hough, 20, is the latest in a storied line of DWTS casualties.
She was rushed to the hospital last Tuesday after complaining of stomach pains while shooting the recap episode of DWTS. It was during that visit to Cedars-Sinai when doctors discovered her ailing appendix.

‘Dancing’ Pro Lacey Schwimmer Fights Back Against Weight Criticism
“Dancing With the Stars” professional Lacey Schwimmer is standing strong following comments her fellow pros recently made about her weight in the media.
“As a woman, and a dancer, I am confident and happy with the way I look,” Lacey, who in her first “DWTS” season is partnered with former *NSYNC star Lance Bass, told Access Hollywood. “While it is unfortunate that two of my colleagues were compelled to express opinions about my body, and the bodies of other talented women on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ I suppose they are entitled to them.”
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, last week, professionals Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Louis Van Amstel, expressed their dissatisfaction with the figures of Cheryl Burke and Lacey.
“When I first saw these women this season, I said, ‘Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds,’” Maks previously told TV Guide. “‘You have to do something about this.’”
And Louis, who is not on “DWTS” this season, but was paired with Priscilla Presley in Season 6, was also critical of his female counterparts.
”[People] look at this show to be inspired and think, ‘If I just work hard enough, I can look like that,” Louis also told TV Guide. “If they watch someone who’s dancing her butt off and she’s still heavy, they can be discouraged. You have to take that responsibility.”
As for Lacey, who is reportedly still recovering from a knee surgery last year, she is ready to inspire fans watching at home, regardless of her fellow pros comments.
“… will focus on my work and being the best partner possible for Lance, and hopefully set an example for any girl watching who wants to dance — no matter what size she is or what she may look like,” Lacey’s statement to Access concluded.

Kim ‘Leaning Toward Brooke’ to Win Dancing
With eight couples still in the competition, ousted contestant Kim Kardashian is already making her prediction for who will win season 7 of Dancing with the Stars.
“I think [Brooke Burke] has a really good chance at winning,” Kardashian told PEOPLE Friday.
Kardashian, who was celebrating her 28th birthday with sisters Kourtney and Khloe and beau Reggie Bush at Las Vegas’s LAX Nightclub, raved that Burke is “so amazing.” “She started off really well and she works so hard,” said Kardashian. And she would know since the reality TV personality says Burke “would always work in the studio right next to me.”
That said, Kardashian isn’t ruling out the competition altogether. “I think Lance and Lacy are really fun and give the show something it’s never seen before,” she said, “but I’ll definitely say that I’m leaning toward Brooke a little bit.”

DANCIN' IN DISNEY WORLD
This week, Lacey [Schwimmer] and I rehearsed for part of the week in Orlando, so Joey [Fatone] and I could attend a masquerade ball for [former bandmate] Chris Kirkpatrick's charity. It’s nice to be away from L.A. and have the energy of Orlando around us. We did get to go to Disney World and let loose a bit, too. While we were there, we got plush Tigger and Pluto dolls we're going to put at the end of the stage tonight as good luck charms.
WEIGHT WATCHERS
I think it’s just crazy to ever talk about a woman’s weight [like Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Louis van Amstel did]. It's so absurd that anyone would ever make comments about Cheryl or Lacey's weights being unhealthy. Lacey showed me some of the [comments] on her BlackBerry, and some people can say such stupid things sometimes.
JUDGING THE JUDGES
Lacey and I were both pretty down after we danced our West Coast Swing routine last week. It was really unfair of them to attack her. This competition is all about the celebrities and you’re supposed to have fun. No celebrity is a professional [dancer] – and they’re not supposed to be! This week, the judges’ comments had nothing to do with me. They didn’t give me any comments about my footwork or my frame or anything like that - they just attacked my pro, and gave me nothing to use going into this week's jive.
JIVE TALKIN'
The jive choreography is the craziest and fastest choreography I've done to date. Lacey's choreography is something that [guest judge] Michael Flatley is really going to appreciate, because he knows about footwork. We're dancing to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti," and our costumes are going to be very '50s, very bright and very fun. There will be a lot of pink in there.
EVERYBODY DANCE!
We rehearsed this week's hip-hop group number all together last Wednesday and had another run-through yesterday. It was really hard to get everyone together in one room and get their attention focused on one person, but it’ll make great TV! The routine was much more like the choreography we did in *NSYNC, so I was in my element, but I have no clue how Cloris [Leachman] is going to get through it. She slept through the first half of our first rehearsal anyway. I think it’s going to just be a schtick for her. We’re probably going to just be dancing around her!
