E! News' very own Ryan Seacrest just spoke with Kim Kardashian, and she may be returning to Dancing with the Stars despite her shocking elimination last week!
In the wake of Misty May-Treanor's injury, Kim told Ryan that following boyfriend Reggie Bush's game tonight at the Superdome, she is "racing home" to meet her dance partner and head into a rehearsal.
Now, ABC says that "[Misty's] condition will be addressed on the show," and Kim is not officially confirming that she is back in if Misty is out, but...
We've all seen reality shows before, and this definitely fits the formula. Remember when Jack Mackenroth had to bow out of Project Runway season four because of a medical condition? Chris March, the most recent eliminee, returned to fill the empty slot. Or when Jessica King dropped out of So You Think You Can Dance this summer because of an injury? Most recent eliminee Comfort Fedoke stepped in to fill the empty slot.
Methinks it's pretty certain that Kim is putting back on her dancin' shoes.
In case you didn't already hear the news, Olympic women's volleyball star Misty May-Treanor suffered an injury (said to be to her Achilles tendon) on Friday. Producers released a statement saying, "Doctors will reevaluate her condition on Monday and determine the outcome of her participation on the show." No telling what that determination was, but it sure seems possible that Misty may not be able to continue with season seven of ABC's hit dance-competition reality series.
There's also no word yet on what this might mean for Kim's former partner Mark Ballas or for Misty's partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
