Kardashian Impaired by Injury Just as Rehearsals Begin

ABC wanted more drama, and already they are getting it.
On Sunday night, just hours before being officially announced as part of
Dancing with the Stars'
Season 7 celeb cast,
Kim Kardashian cut one of her feet on a mirrored hotel-room desk, effectively calling into question her ability to compete on the show.
"I was working on my computer when I realized that the desk was all broken [around the edges], so I used my foot to kind of kick away from the table, and I sliced my foot," Kim tells TVGuide.com. Hmm, perhaps that was not the best idea, to use a bare foot to push away a cracked glass desk? "I didn't think it was broken towards the bottom, only the top," she explains. "It all happened so fast... I just wasn't thinking. I'm staying in a nice hotel. Who thinks they're going to have a broken table?"
Kardashian was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital, where the cut was closed up using liquid bandaging. It is still being figured out how she will accommodate the injury as she continues rehearsals for
Dancing, which already were underway. Off the dance floor, she is wearing flats;
on, one idea is to cut a hole in her heeled shoes to relieve pressure on the fresh wound.
Kardashian herself is most concerned about the tough spot she has put pro partner and Season 6 champ Mark Ballas in. "He's great, and I'm so excited," she says. "I just hope I don't make him go crazy with the whole foot thing!"
Kardashian can be seen in the big-screen spoof
Disaster Movie, hitting theaters Friday. Watch for my full Q&A with her - in which she reveals the celebrity backside
she most envies - later this week. -
