Jewel's out, Holly in???
Holly Madison's Quick Step to Dancing
The bunny hop is coming to Dancing With the Stars
Sources confirm that Girl Next Door Holly Madison will replace Jewel in the new season of ABC's hit reality competition show.
I'm told that the Jewel-Madison switcheroo happened pretty quickly, too.
Madison agreed to join the celeb dance-off on Monday, and by yesterday she was already rehearsing at an L.A. studio with partner Dmitry Chaplin
Although Jewel insisted that a case of tendinitis in her knees would not sideline her, doctors have apparently told the songbird to hang up her dancing shoes.
Reps for Madison, Jewel and ABC declined to comment.
The gig could be just the thing for Madison right now to help get her mind off of ex-boyfriend Criss Angel
She and the Mindfreak showman split in late February. Madison had spent most of the last four months in Las Vegas to be by his side, but she returned to L.A. late last month as a single woman.

Holly Madison to Compete on 'Dancing With the Stars'
UPDATE: A source confirms to Celebuzz that bunny Holly Madison will indeed be added to the DWTS cast.
Moreso, ABC initially intended to announce her arrival this coming Monday.
When contacted for comment, a show rep explained the network had "no comment."
Holly Madison might be flying solo in her personal life right now, but she'll be hooking up with a professional partner soon enough—as a contestant on the upcoming episode of Dancing With the Stars.
Us Magazine reports that the Girls Next Door alum will be joining Jackass daredevil Steve-O and the rest of the crew on Season 8 of the popular show, which debuts March 9.
Though ABC has not yet commented on Madison's addition, they may be bringing her on to replace slated contestant Jewel, who recently experienced knee problems that threaten her participation.
Good luck, Holly—and whatever you do, be careful!

Dancing's Cheryl & Gilles Already Starting Rumors
Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke are ready for the romance rumors to begin as soon as the new season of Dancing With the Stars kicks off next week.
"I keep saying, after we dance, a lot of new babies are going to happen," Gilles, 33, tells me in his thick French accent during one of his now daily rehearsals with Burke in a Hollywood dance studio.
Burke adds, "He's married and I have a boyfriend, so bring it on! We want people to think something is going on on the dance floor. You want people to be so uncomfortable watching it because we are going to be so sexy."
That shouldn't be too hard to achieve.
Not only is Marini charming (and it's not just because of his accent!), but he's model-hot with a killer body.
And then, of course, there's his now legendary manhood that was displayed on the big screen during a shower scene he had as Samantha's always naked neighbor Dante in the Sex and the City movie.
Burke knows sex sells—or at least would help Marini get some extra votes.
Just hours before our chat, Marini had a fitting for his first outfits on DWTS. "I told the guy to make everything as tight as possible," Burke says with a laugh.
Sounds like he followed her directions. "It's tight," Marini says. "I'm going to have to tape my thing close to my thigh so it won't show."
What he really wants to be showing off when DWTS's eighth season premieres on Monday night are the cha-cha and quick step that he and Burke have been working on for about three weeks now.
"I have two or three left feet," Marini says. "But it's such a thrill. It's a great experience. I do not want it to stop. I don't want that experience to stop now. I say, 'How do I make that happen?' "
Hopefully, by not getting injured again. As I exclusively reported on Friday, Marini is suffering from painful tendinitis in his shoulder and groin that was caused by his dance training. He's expected to make a full recovery.
Burke says she wants Marini to lose one piece of clothing for every week he remains in the 10-week competition. "That is enough weeks to get me freaking naked," Marini says. "I would have to block the fact that 50 million billion people would be watching the show."
Or he could just pretend to be filming another scene for Sex and the City.

TARAsia Fan:
What is about Cheryl Burke that attracts so much news? There are rumors about a sex tape, there are rumors she ruined another marriage, people talk about her weight, no other dancer (asides from Julianne) seems to attract so much attention.

TARAsia Fan, I'll give you two reasons:
1. Cheryl is a two-time DWTS winner.
2. She is almost as cute as Julianne Hough.
