Cristián de la Fuente gets hurt on Dancing With The Stars
One of the remaining six celebrity dancers on Dancing with The Stars was injured during the show last night. Chilean soap star Cristián de la Fuente was doing a samba with his partner Cheryl Burke, their second dance of the show, when he moved off to the side, clutching his left forearm. He kind of fell over on top of Burke when was supposed to catch her at the end of the dance. He was lifting his arms and flexing his gorgeous biceps so much it’s not surprising he hurt himself. He said “I pulled a muscle” before they went to commercial.

The two were judged for their performance up until de la Feunte got hurt, and they received a 21, which was the lowest score that night, according to TMZ.

Here’s the video, de la Feunte gets injured about 1:15. It’s weird because he’s holding his right arm very stiffly and trying to flex it and all of a sudden he grabs his left forearm like it’s hurt.

OK! Magazine reports that he was diagnosed with “severe muscle cramp” and given ice for his arm and that he went to the hospital afterwards to get it checked out. There is no news yet as to whether he will continue on DWTS.

In a funny moment on the show, Shannon Elizabeth revealed that she was using a prosthetic butt to add padding to her costume and seemed to suggest her boobs were fake too:
