It’s happened. Someone has been injured in rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars, officially ringing in the new season.

No worries, it is a minor one. It seems that Nicole Scherzinger kicked her partner Derek Hough in the side of the head (one can only imagine that move–can you tell I’m foaming at the mouth with excitement? Mar. 22 can’t come soon enough). It doesn’t even look that bad. I can only hope that this will be the  worst of the injuries this year (please no stress fractures!!).

Poor Derek, she mussed up his pretty face!

I think he’ll recover in time for the premier, though. Their rehearsals are looking pretty spiffy!

Their official partner pic from ABC also looks pretty cool. I always think it’s so interesting that the style for male ballroom dancers is to have the shirt open ;o).

Only TEN more days until the premier! I’m biting my nails as I type (which is pretty hard). More soon!
