"Dancing's" Holly Madison Injured

"The Girls Next Door" Star & Playboy Cover Model Sees A Doctor For Pain In Her Rib Area

(AP)  Holly Madison is in a world of hurt on "Dancing With The Stars."

A representative for the reality star says she began feeling pain in her rib area last week while rehearsing the samba for the ABC dance competition.

Madison saw a doctor on Thursday and was prescribed medication, publicist Steve Flynn says. Madison will rest when she can and expects to dance on Monday's show.

A star of the E! reality show "The Girls Next Door" and four-time Playboy cover model, Madison replaced Jewel at the last minute after the singer suffered fractures in both legs during pre-show training.

Rehearsal-related injuries are abundant this season. Nancy O'Dell was forced to drop out after tearing soft tissue in her knee. Steve-O skipped a show last week due to a back injury.

In other "Dancing with the Stars" news, a man accused of trying to break into a television studio to meet contestant Shawn Johnson pleaded not guilty to stalking the gymnast and contestant. He faces four years in prison if convicted.

Is she blonde enough for you? Decent pair of fake breasts. That's about all she's got going for herself.
