Hines Ward partner Kym Johnson seriously hurt in dance fall?

[May 16]

TMZ was one of the first websites to report Kym Johnson — the dance pro the producers of DWTS 2011 paired up with Pittsburgh Steelers football player Hines Ward. According to the site, Kym Johnson, “took a nasty spill while rehearsing with the NFLer for an upcoming show.” The star celebs still had practice scheduled the following day(s), and Kym and Hines both showed up on schedule Sunday May 16th. The only problem? Kym Johnson was wearing a huge neck brace! According to her rep (who spoke to TMZ anticipating the rumor mills picking up the story of the dancing accident and subsequent hospitalization of the dance pro), Johnson was taken to a nearby Los Angeles area hospital for treatment “for precautionary measures to assure she is OK.” But what will an injury at this stage fo the game do to the celebrity couple as far as performance ability? Many celebrity gossip sites and comment rumor mills are saying that Hines and Kym might just be out of the game.

The reason why Kym Johnson having a new injury is a game changer is not because she might not be able to dance or teach or do choreography full bore. It is because of the psychological effects on Hines Ward.

The valiant Brock released a quintessential celebrity athlete statement press statement saying, “I’m not retiring … I believe there’s a solution to every problem, I just gotta find the right solution … I love this sport.”

According to TMZ and other celebrity gossip sites, Brock Lesnar insists his current bout with his debilitating medical symptoms aren’t as serious as last time, “but he couldn’t train for his fight against Junior dos Santos at UFC 131 on June 11.
