Dish Of Salt: The 'Dancing' Curse Connection Finally Revealed

 
By Laura Saltman HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Ever since Marie Osmond fainted last October on "Dancing With the Stars" it seems some type of negative energy has taken over Stage 46 at CBS Television City. Food poisonings, injuries, surgeries, blackouts are all becoming common place on the set. Even the show could not ignore what many people are calling a "Dancing" curse. In a taped segment last night the show pointed out the spot on the floor, near the judges, which pro dancer Derek Hough has dubbed the Bermuda Triangle. It's where he was injured; Misty May-Treanor tore her Achilles tendon leading to her exit from the show and it's also where Susan Lucci twisted her ankle. But, now Access has uncovered the very interesting history about what used to sit on this studio lot -- you'll be surprised to find out! (link)
