Misty May-Treanor has two Olympic gold medals. Alas, her opportunity to add a gaudy, glitzy disco ball to her trophy case has ended.

The beach volleyball champ has indeed been forced to withdraw from Dancing With the Stars after rupturing her Achilles tendon Friday while practicing the jive.

"I was actually really excited, because this was the first dance I was going to do in sneakers, so go figure," May-Treanor, leaning on crutches, said ruefully. "I am out, but I'm not out of cheering on the competitors and keeping in touch with everybody."

The 31-year-old athlete is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow, but said that she'd love to come back and dance the jive someday.

"It turns out I'm more emotional than her," partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy said tonight. "She was laughing in the hospital, and I was asking for Vicodin."

"I'm really sad, but I hope that we'll stay friends," he added.

Whether this means that last week's castoff, Kim Kardashian, gets a second chance because producers need to keep to a schedule remains to be seen. An announcement is expected during tomorrow's results show.

Here's hoping David Duchovny has found the proper help for what ails him.

The Californication star has checked out of the facility where he was undergoing treatment for a sex addiction, according to the actor's lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein.

"David is out of rehab and about to start a new movie," Stein said in a statement Monday. "He successfully completed his treatment."

Duchovny revealed Aug. 28 that he was voluntarily seeking help.

"I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family," he said at the time.

His wife of more than 11 years, Téa Leoni, opted out of a scheduled appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival less than a week later.

The John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket would love to have Saturday Night Live's poll numbers.

Last weekend's show, featuring yet another Tina Fey take on Palin, scored yet another big overnight rating, NBC said. Through the first four weeks of its season, SNL is up nearly 50 percent versus last fall.

Coincidentally, Fey, as the winking, flute-playing, media-bashing Alaskan governor, has appeared on three of those first four shows.

Sorry, make that not coincidentally.
