Maria on 'DWTS': 'I've Been Dancing in Pain for Weeks'
It's rock n' roll week on "Dancing with the Stars" and injured "Extra" host Maria Menounous is hot to take on the competition -- and bring the sexiness to tonight's tango! Ole!
Menounos, now dancing on injured feet and with two cracked ribs, says she is "determined to dance through the pain."
"What's helping now is I'm rehearsing in sneakers with orthopedics, bone stimulators, tape and Motrin," added the dancing warrior. "I call her grandma Menounos," joked partner Derek Hough.
Last week, the couple performed a steamy rumba, sealed with a kiss, which earned them 27 points from the judges and kudos from the crowd.
