DWTS Pro Derek Hough: "I'm Not Gay"

Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Derek Hough easily laughs off rumors he's gay. To play on the rumor, the professional ballroom dancer/singer was close to playing a gay character "in a funny little scene" on ABC's Cougar Town. But, he couldn't due to his Dancing With the Stars schedule.

Derek Hough: "It would have been perfect. With all the rumors going around, I thought it would be really funny because it's just not true. But I was like, you know what? If that's what you want to see."

Tonight, Hough joins fellow professional dancer/bandmate Mark Ballas for the first live television performance of Ballas Hough Band during the celebreality ballroom competition's results show.

Rogue Shoe Buckle Sends Kelly Osbourne to Hospital After Dancing

Kelly Osbourne was injured during her performance on last night's Dancing With the Stars. The unexplained injury resulted in her dancing barefoot during the group Hustle.

After the live show, Kelly went to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center emergency room. Apparently a buckle on Kelly's shoe slammed into her foot at the end of her routine. The accident caused her enough pain that she had to dance sans shoes during the group number.

Louis van Amstel (professional dance partner): "At the end of our Paso Doble, Kelly banged her foot on the floor, which may have caused an injury. She is at the hospital right now to take an X-ray and an MRI to make sure she will be OK to dance. Kelly will keep me updated on her prognosis."

Cheryl Burke Urged Tom DeLay to Quit Dancing

Cheryl Burke may not have wanted to be eliminated from ABC's Dancing With the Stars as early as she was, but she knew it was the only thing her celebrity partner Tom DeLay could do.

Cheryl Burke: "He talked to me a few days before. It was during rehearsal when he could only rehearse 30 minutes a day. I could see it was getting worse. I offered it to him. I said, 'Tom, you don't have to continue, honestly. I don't think it'd be good for you."

DeLay announced his departure from the show during last week's results show because of the stress fractures in both feet.

Cheryl Burke: "I think it was something that he had to do," Burke said. "When someone's injured like that, it's hard to dance around that. He needs to take a break, but we are invited to dance the Texas two-step in the finale. It's a little bit weird to leave the show this early. I haven't left the show this early since Wayne Newton, which was season four!"
