Being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars is really hazardous to one’s health. Jewel is officially out. She posted on all about the leg heartbreak on her blog:
Well, as many of you know I have been having trouble with my knees after rehearsing long hours for Dancing With The Stars. The doctors thought I had tendonitis, but when I wasn’t feeling better after some rest, I decided to get an MRI. When I heard the results I was in utter disbelief. The doctors told me that not one, but both of my legs were fractured!! He said my left one was particularly bad, and that I had to not only stop dancing, but stop walking and use crutches!!! He said I had just over done it with the rehearsals and training over the past few weeks and so my muscles became fatigued and transferred the overload of stress to the bones in my leg – causing the stress fractures! He says that type of injury can happen when athletes step up the amount or intensity of their training. Typical me- I throw myself 1000% into anything I do- that’s how I went from being homeless to where I am today- but I just had no idea I could over-do dancing!
Shock does not begin to describe it. I am heartbroken to say I will not be competing in this season of Dancing With the Stars. I’m sad I won’t get to go through the rest of the experience competing with my husband, Ty. I don’t really know what to say. I am sad and mad and disappointed and just blown away at all that has happened. I also feel particularly upset for my partner Dmitry. This is his first season on the show and he put so much work and thoughtful effort into training me. I really wanted America to see what a great dancer, choreographer and teacher he is. This wasn’t the way I wanted to go, but my health must come first. And so it is with regret I will not be able to compete this season, but I will be there to cheer my husband on every step of the way- he will just have to dance for the both of us now!
The good news is that my doctors say with rest and care, I will recover completely with no long-term damage. I hope I will be able to come back and compete on the show another season after my injury heals and get the chance to team up with Dmitry once again to show America our cha-cha!
Okay, why am I laughing that Jewel has been walking around with two broken legs? Ah…there is something seriously wrong with me.
Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell is also out with a meniscus tear that will require surgery. What the fuck do they have these C-listers doing at rehearsal? What I find most amazing is that two fairly in shape women have been taken down by DWTS and lardball Steve Wozniak still stands.
I was feeling sympathy up until the point she mentioned the homelessness. Is it unfeeling for me to want to tell her to just get the eff over it and move on?
Also – boob!
My first thought, exactly!
Why are we still talking about this like the entire universe doesn’t know she went from rags to riches?
Dancing with the stars is so lame and stupid! It’s for every (oh yeah i remember them )celebrity on the planet. It’s such a plea for attention. Love me except me, i want my career back!
lol I totally agree Squeeziee! I used to really like her- when I was like 10 and 11- and I loved her story… but for her to be bringing it up randomly like that? its weird and makes her look like a douche.
..if you got it, flaun….wait!!!! NO NO NO!!!!
So not necessary to mention -again- the homelessness of her past. I think everyone who’s ever heard the word ‘Jewel’ connected to the subject ‘music’ also knows how she started out.
I hate when people say “THE both of us.”
it looks like her boob is screwed on…WTF?
Wow, that headline took the words right out of my mouth.
She used to have massive boobs. I guess she got the plastic removed and the stretched empty shells are what we see above.
wha? what are you talking about? she never had huge boobs
Ya, she did. Believe me, I am a boob man and have her measurements memorized. It is a gift and a curse.
Watch the video “Intuition”.
Not sure if this link will work for you.

bah, they didn’t look THAT big in the video. bras and cutlets can do a lot of work. But it does look like something happened with a boob job. I mean, I wouldn’t know anything else to make skin look so freaking weird.
watched video, DP is totally right she had massives.
It looks like she has makeup on her chest and sweated some of it off.
she’s got flap jacks! aka saggy tittays.
