Is 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant Mark Dacascos switching pro partners?

Yes -- but it's just for Monday night's show! Pro dancer Anna Trebunskaya, who was eliminated earlier this season with Chuck Liddell, will be filling in for Mark's pro partner Lacey Schwimmer because Lacey has fallen ill with the flu. Lacey is the third dancer to get sick with the flu -- pro dancers Derek Hough and Mark Ballas also battled the flu in recent weeks .

Lacey tweeted the following message Monday morning, "Guys I'm super sad to be sick today. Ugh."

Anna tweeted about working hard at rehearsals with Mark over the weekend, and then tweeted Sunday night: "At this point it is what it is...Fingers crossed. A little luck would be helpful too."

The always-unpredictable "Dancing with the Stars" competition show airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.

  • Many people who have received the H1N1 swine flu vaccines are getting sick. I know 2 nurses who say that most people are getting sick from the vaccine. Wake Up People and tell your friends and family about the dangers that our govt. is not telling us.
