Lance & Lacey Go Toe-to-Toe
OK! recently sat down for an exclusive photoshoot with DWTS partners Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer, and in an OK! first, they began interviewing each other!
Lance: When you found out who the Dancing With the Stars contestants were, who did you want as your partner?
Lacey: You!
Lance: For reals?
Lacey: Yeah, I was asked who I thought I was going to get and I said, "Lance Bass." And then there you were, coming through those doors. It was a slow-motion moment, like coming through the clouds and angels. We hit it off right away and were BlackBerry Messenger buddies from day one.
Lance: What do you like in a guy?
Lacey: I like guys who are quirky. I'm a huge dork and not at all ladylike. I burp and sneeze and it's gross – and guys have to accept that. Anyone who is funny and a gentleman would be nice, because I meet a lot of jerks.
Lance: Don't we all.
Lance: You think we can win this?
Lacey: I dunno. Do you?
Lance: I think that we're definitely on the right track.
Lacey: Yeah. We have a lot of work to do. But each week feels like a stepping-stone.
Lance: And it's all a game.
Lacey: I'm in it to have fun with you. We goof off way more than we should, but that's why we're such good friends.
Lacey: Are you going to miss me when the show's over?
Lance: No, I'm going to see you a lot.
Lacey: What if I moved to Zimbabwe?
Lance: Then you'd have to come back and visit.
Lacey: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love me?
Lance: Twelve.
Lacey: Oh my gosh, that's off the charts!

Julianne's Painful Struggle
Less than a week after undergoing surgery following her collapse backstage at Dancing with the Stars, Julianne Hough is opening up to E! News about the medical condition she now says she's battled "for a while."
Hough, 20, revealed to Samantha Harris that she suffers from Endometriosis, a condition affecting the lining of a woman's uterus. The always smiling Julianne says she's put up with abdominal pains for about five years, but only recently felt that it had gotten serious.
"I didn't want this whole drama with, like, the cameras filming you," Hough said. "I kept going through the show and I was just kind of quiet, and through the show it just kept getting worse and worse."
On Oct. 21, Hough was rushed to the hospital following an elimination show to which she explains: "Right after the show I came back and just curled up in a ball, and I was just sobbing...And there were cameras and I'm like, 'I love you guys, but I did not break my foot.' I was like, 'This is something personal, do not film this.'"
Julianne says she told doctors initially that she wanted to wait on surgery and finish out the season of DWTS, but doctors recommended that she have the procedure done now--a decision she is happy she made.
"It's actually a really good thing I did," she says. Hough's boyfriend, country singer Chuck Wicks, has been there for her the entire time, offering his support. "When somebody can take care of you and really wants to care of you, instead of someone taking care of you because they have to, you can tell they're a keeper."
As for her future on DWTS, Hough says she hopes to be strutting her stuff on the dance floor very soon.
"I want to be back this week, but it may be another week just because we don't want to anything to rupture or the stitches to fly out," she says.
Despite her initial anxiety about coming forward with her experience, Hough says she did it to help other women."I've always been honest, and I think it can help other girls who ignore pain," she says. "You don't have to ignore pain."

In Touch Exclusive: Lacey Schwimmer’s bad week
Lacey Schwimmer is all smiles on Dancing With the Stars. But off the dance floor, the professional dancer admitted to In Touch that she’s been having a really rough week. After recognizing that she shared a lot of the same symptoms as her co-star Julianne Hough, who is being treated for endometriosis, Lacey went to the doctor. “I was ignoring the signs,” she tells In Touch. “Then I thought, ‘Better safe than sorry,’ and went in for a checkup. The news was not so hot.” But after being diagnosed with the gynecological disease, she was ready to return to work. “Everything is under control and I am back to focus on Lance,” she says about her partner on DWTS, Lance Bass, who spilled the beans to In Touch about another tragic event in Lacey’s life. “Her childhood dog passed away,” he reveals. “Yeah, he passed away,” Lacey confirms. “And I broke up with my boyfriend. It’s been a really crazy week.”

Julianne Hough ‘Feeling Phenomenal’ After Surgery
Five days after having surgery for endometriosis, Julianne Hough tells PEOPLE she’s “feeling phenomenal. I am still walking slow but I’m feeling good.”
The 20-year-old two-time Dancing champ was taken to the hospital following the October 21 DWTS live results show for what initially was believed to be severe stomach pains.
Her personal physician determined she was suffering from endometriosis, a condition in which the uterine lining forms tissue outside of the uterus. On October 28, Hough underwent a nearly two-hour procedure to remove her appendix, a cyst on her ovary, and scar tissue that had formed on her bladder and fallopian tubes.
Dr. Randy S. Harris, tells PEOPLE Hough “should be able to dance again in about a week. She was exhausted and a little dehydrated, so that’s why she needs to get a little more rest.”
Hough was nursed back to health by her mom, Mariann Nelson, and her boyfriend, country singer Chuck Wicks, who she says “got to see me at my lowest point. You can really tell when someone loves you because they mean it. They are not just taking care of you because you need it, they WANT to take care of you. He’s a sweetheart.”
Hough, who’s on tap to host the Country Music Association Awards pre-show on November 12, is anxious to return to Dancing and reunite with her season seven partner, actor Cody Linley.
“I miss her so much. She’s my best friend,” says Linley, who’s since been partnered with pro Edyta Sliwinska while Hough recuperates

Maks to Fans: Catch Me on Dancing Tour
Dancing pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy and partner Misty May-Treanor’s early exit from this season was a disappointment. But Chmerkovskiy assures fans they can catch him on the upcoming Dancing with the Stars winter tour, which kicks off December 17 in San Diego.
“This is one of the things I’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” Chmerkovskiy tells PEOPLE. In fact, he has signed on to choreograph and star in the upcoming winter production. “This will be a chance for people to see what I can do and I hope to make things fresh and active. I didn’t see the other tours but I guarantee that what we will do will not be redundant,” says Chmerkovskiy, who choreographed the show La Reve at The Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas last year.
It will be the first time the 28-year-old will partake in the 34-city tour. He was previously tapped to dance in the winter 2006-2007 tour, but dropped out when his partner at the time, singer-actress Willa Ford, booked a movie.
“I’m excited to hit the road and see the fans and really dance and stay active,” Says Chmerkovskiy, who will perform on Wednesday night’s live results show in a dance number with fellow pro Cheryl Burke.
