Should be back in action for next season

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles attendees of the "Dancing With the Stars" tour witnessed a pained Mark Ballas on Saturday as he grimaced through several numbers and apologized to the audience for not being 100 percent.

Turns out that while on tour Ballas pulled a muscle in his groin and will need to rest for a couple of weeks in order to heal.

Ballas and his season six partner, Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi, won the giant trophy last May. His other celebrity partners have been Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan (who he later dated) and reality star Kim Kardashian.
