It was only a matter of time and I am surprised it took this long! The Dancing With the Stars curse has claimed its first victim: Audrina Patridge was reportedly injured on the DWTS set yesterday while in rehearsals.
TMZ reports that Audrina twisted her ankle while in practice with Tony Dovolani and was tended to by on-set physicians. But sources say it’s just a minor sprain and Audrina is “pushing through.”
She fully intends on dancing tonight, and Tweets for your vote:
“Don’t forget tonight is dancing with the stars!!…. 1800-868-3401 and/or abc.com. Hope you guys like our waltz tonight!!”
Audrina Patridge, one of the four original primary cast members featured on the MTV reality series, The Hills, will be coming into your homes every Monday and Tuesday starting September 20 as one of the celebrity contestants on this season’s Dancing with the Stars.
Audrina made her debut on the big screen last fall in the thriller Sorority Row. Other film credits include the action-adventure film Into the Blue 2 and Honey 2.

When Mario asked Audrina how she feels about the impending start of Dancing with the Stars, Audrina said: “I’m excited. I’m nervous. I’m scared. I have all these emotions running, but I am more excited than anything else.”
Audrina and Tony’s first dance will be the Cha Cha Cha, choreographed to Katy Perry’s California Gurls. Audrina said about the song choice, “It is fun and upbeat. I’m ready”
When asked how she feels about other DWTS cast members, Audrina was quick to say: “We love Florence Henderson!”
As to their biggest competitors, Tony pointed out Brandy, Rick Fox and Florence Henderson.
Mario asked Audrina what she does with her time after rehearsals and Audrina was quick to respond: “I go home, I soak my feet, I eat, I go to bed, thats all I do.”
