Kelly Osbourne may be looking better than ever (have you seen her waist lately?!), but that doesn't mean the Dancing With the Stars contender ain't eatin'.

"For the first couple of weeks, I was like, 'I need spaghetti Bolognese!' And that is what I ate every single day," Osbourne, 25, says while sitting in a Hollywood dance studio with her pro partner, Louis van Amstel. "Now, it's chicken quesadillas. I love the carbs from the cheese. But I have to stop eating it, because it's starting to make feel sick because I'm eating it so much."

Even with her shrinking waistline, Osbourne hasn't been quick to jump on a scale…

Mya and Dmitry Chaplin knew going into last night's Dancing With the Stars that they probably wouldn't be getting a perfect 30 for their jitterbug.

They correctly predicted that judge Len Goodman would have a problem with Mya's feather-dusting and Dmitry's sweeping at the start of their performance.

"We were like, 'Oh, well!' " Mya told me this morning during our weekly exclusive morning-after chat. "Last week they said we lacked character, so this week we gave them characters. It was, Let's do a little bit of acting for the audience and people at home."

That's not all I have for you from Ms. Mya. Read on to find out why Dmitry is in pain, what's it like meeting Michael Jackson's mother and why the group dance-off at the end of the show almost left Mya hurlin' her cookies.

Kristen Bell is in a lot of pain these days.

"I've started dance rehearsals and my neck is sore and my inner thighs are so sore," Bell told me at last night's Vanity Fair-hosted launch of Guess?'s new T-shirt benefiting Invisible Children.

No, the actress is not training for a stint on Dancing With the Stars. She's getting ready to start shooting Burlesque, director Steve Antin's upcoming drama in which she and Christina Aguilera costar as rivals at a Hollywood burlesque club owned by a former dancer played by Cher.

Rounding out the cast is Twilight stud Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough and Stanley Tucci.

So just how much skin will Bell and the other young starlets be flashing in the film? Sounds like a lot, but...

Kelly Osbourne wasn't the only one hurting from last night's Dancing With the Stars.

Mya tells me the Argentine tango has left her and Dmitry Chaplin painfully black and blue. "My body is very sore from kicking each other," she told me this morning during our exclusive weekly postperformance chat. "There are tons of bruises on my legs. That's why I wore fishnets."

As for Dmitry, Mya clocked him where it really hurts at least five times during rehearsals. "My focus last night was, don't step on Dmitry's feet and don't kick him in the nuts," Mya said. "I was so nervous because a guy can't dance through that. He'd be hunched over."

Luckily, she avoided contact with the family jewels during their performance. Even so, Mya says she may be picking up a special gift for Dmitry to prepare for next week's jitterbug. Read on to find out what it is, plus get more details on Kelly O.'s injury…

Cheryl Burke may not have been thrilled about having to leave Dancing With the Stars so early, but she realizes it was the only step Tom DeLay could have made.

"He talked to me a few days before," the Dancing pro said last night at Hollywood Life's Hollywood Style Awards, where she was given the Choreographer Award by her former partner Gilles Marini.

"It was during rehearsal when he could only rehearse 30 minutes a day," she said. "I could see it was getting worse. I offered it to him. I said, 'Tom, you don't have to continue, honestly. I don't think it'd be good for you."

DeLay, as DWTS fans know, announced his departure from season nine after last week's performance show because he was suffering from fractures in both feet.

But we haven't seen the last of this pair...

Kissing Hayden Panettiere on Heroes didn't come as a complete shock to Madeline Zima.

"I had an inkling," Zima told us yesterday at Hollywood Life's Hollywood Style Awards at the Armand Hammer Museum in L.A. "I did always play my character a little bit with some kind of secret—whether it was that or something else still remains to be seen."

So what was it like locking lips with Claire-Bear on the episode airing tonight? Mostly business as usual...

Mya may have been hurting last night on Dancing With the Stars, but she certainly wasn't showing it.

Not only did her steamy rumba with hunky Dmitry Chaplin land them on top with 27 points, but they received the season's first 10s from Carrie Anne and Bruno.

"My feet are really bad right now," Mya told me this morning during our exclusive weekly chat. "They look horrible. They feel like crap. I tape them up every day like athletes during rehearsal and wait until show day to take the tape off."

But it's nothing compared to what Tom DeLay is going through. Read on to find out what Mya has to say about the former congressman's two foot fractures, as well as grumpy judge Len Goodman and Bruno's Brokeback moment with Donny Osmond.

Mya and her Dancing With the Stars partner, Dmitry Chaplin, have a lot to live up to next week. Their high-spirited jive landed them in a first-place tie last night with Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff, with a near perfect score of 27.

They'll be dancing a rumba next. "I'm not sure if it can be as impactful," Mya says. "It's not a fast number, so…to actually entertain a crowd with a slower song, I'm not sure. I'm kind of nervous."

The rumba, however, is a much sexier and sensual dance. "Dmitry is not a hard person to look at, so that's very helpful," Mya says with a laugh. "You just put yourself in a zone and start thinking about crushes to try and get into the moment."

That's not all I have for you from Ms. Mya. Read on to find out about her DWTS-related bruises, why she's seeing a doctor on a regular basis and her new, carb-loaded diet...

Forget the injuries on Dancing With the Stars. Try going one-on-one with a roller derby girl.

That's exactly what Drew Barrymore did for Whip It, her directorial debut about a high schooler (Ellen Page) who secretly joins a roller derby team.

Barrymore, who also plays Smashley Simpson in the movie, trained with real-life Detroit Derby Girls star Racer McChasHer.

"We were wrestling and rolling around on the track, and both of us feel one of our skates and both our body weights on my thigh," Barrymore said last night while promoting the flick at the Tough Cookies vs. Varsity Brawlers match in L.A. "I had a bruise that was a foot long and a foot wide. My entire leg was covered."

But she isn't complaining…

Debi Mazar isn't about to let an injury get in the way of her competing on Dancing With the Stars…yet.

The tough-as-nails Entourage actress tells me she's going in for an MRI today to check on the pulled neck muscle she suffered while doing the fox-trot on Tuesday night.

"I'm one of those people who have a very high tolerance to pain," she says. "I power through it. I can be half dead but I keep going forward."

Debs says her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy doesn't realize his own strength sometimes...
