Cheryl Burke flew to Seattle with her Dancing with the Stars co-stars to rehearse before opening night, but instead of hitting the dance floor she hit the hospital according to TV Guide.

"Last night, during the run-through, I was cramping and in pain," Burke tells TV Guide exclusively. "I couldn't even stand up straight." Burke, who was rushed to the hospital, was told that it is a possible case of appendicitis. She will fly home to San Francisco on Wednesday for a second opinion from her family doctors. "I hope it doesn't require surgery," she says. If it does, Burke will be off the two-month tour for an undetermined period of time.

"It's a disaster," says pro Louis van Amstel, who is choreographing the tour and has had to rearrange his lineup so many times he's stopped counting. Karina Smirnoff has stepped in to partner with Drew Lachey, on top of dancing at least a half-dozen more numbers with Van Amstel. "Cheryl can't be gone for more than a week," says Smirnoff. "I won't let her!"

The Dancing with the Stars 5 curse continues even after the season ended. I would be afraid to join the show for the sixth season at this rate.

Days after dressing up as his ex-wife Liza Minnelli collapsed on stage, David Gest was rushed to the hospital with chest pains and respiratory problems according to Sky Showbiz.

A spokeswoman has said: "At 5.30am, David Gest was admitted to hospital, after suffering from severe chest pains and respiratory problems.

"David is stable and receiving the best medical attention. We are awaiting a further update from doctors."

No other information was released, but I wonder if it was just gas.

Liza Minnelli collapsed during a Christmas Show in Sweden after performing a few songs according to Reuters.

Minnelli collapsed during a Christmas show Wednesday night and fell off the side of the stage but was caught by a technician and escaped additional injuries, said Michael Silfverskiold, a local promoter.

"It was a terrible situation," he said. "She fell off the side of the stage. The production manager caught her."

Liza was taken to the hospital and was released on Thursday and is flying back to the United States today. It has not been disclosed why she collapsed but the promoter of the show said, "You could see she was in pain." Sadly the promoter was also in pain because several audience members were angry and were demanding their money back for the shortened performance. Jees the woman collapsed and those people could do is think about themselves, come on they were at a show that everyone will be talking about. Whatever.

Now back to Liza, here is to hoping she is better soon.

Baby Spice sprained her ankle during the Vegas performance on Tuesday according to the Spice Girls' blog.
"Last night I had a tumble on stage and unfortunately I have sprained my ankle, so I am hobbling around on crutches!" she told thespicegirls.com. "I'm sure to make a speedy recovery and see you all at The O2."
Maybe it is just me but if I had a sprained ankle and was planning on performing dance numbers in a few days, I would not be wearing heels like that. Either way hopefully she will get better soon.
