Like Dancing with the Stars’ pro Julianne Hough, Lacey Schwimmer was just diagnosed with endometriosis as well.

Julianne Hough is currently off of Dancing with the Stars for two weeks after a surgical procedure.

While Lacey Schwimmer just learned of the diagnosis from her doctor on Wednesday, Schwimmer, who coaches Lance Bass, will not have to take a break from the show.

Lacey Schwimmer told The Insider, “A few days ago, I started feeling very shaky, very weak, and I had awful cramps … I didn’t really know what was going on. I went to go get checked out today and I actually have the beginning onset of what Julianne has.”

Endometriosis is a painful medical condition that affects 5 percent to 10 percent of women.

Schwimmer commented, “It hurts very bad. Right now I’m insanely weak, and the room is spinning. I have medication that is taking care of it. We caught it at a very good time.”

Despite the surgery for Julianne Hough to have her appendix removed tomorrow, she still plans to perform on Dancing with the Stars tonight, according to a show insider.

Julianne Hough explained to fans visiting her website that in addition to needing surgery to remove her appendix, she has been diagnosed with endometriosis. That explains her need to go to the hospital last week for stomach pains. (more…)

Dancing with the Stars’ pros Louis van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are speaking out on Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer’s weight gain - and they’re not pulling any punches.

Louis van Amstel commented on Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer’s weight, saying, “If you want to gain weight, it’s your prerogative. We all put on weight because there was no summer tour. But you have to deal with the consequences.”

Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy also “weighed” in, saying, “When I first saw these women this season, I said, ‘Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds. ‘You have to do something about this.”

Louis van Amstel added, “[People] look at this show to be inspired and think, ‘If I just work hard enough, I can look like that. If they watch someone who’s dancing her butt off and she’s still heavy, they can be discouraged.”

Two words for van Amstel and Maks: suck it!

Nikki McKibbin, who came in third on the first season of American Idol, and will be seen in the upcoming second season of Celebrity Rehab, says that Simon Cowell is partly to blame for her drug and alcohol addictions.

No doubt that Simon Cowell’s words hurt, but Nikki McKibbin claims his comments contributed to her downward spiral.

Nikki McKibbin tells Us Weekly, “I came out of Idol with a lack of self-confidence… I had never been told I wasn’t good enough. Having to hear it for so many weeks from Simon Cowell killed me inside. I couldn’t get the s–t he had said to me out of my head.”

McKibbin added, “It drove me deeper into my depression. I wouldn’t say that this was Simon’s fault. It just added to the addict that I already was.”

Check out the sneak peek preview of Celebrity Rehab, which airs October 23 at 10 p.m. on VH1.
