Coming off the heels of a recent elimination, Kim Kardashian could be returning to Dancing with the Stars as early as this week to replace Olympic volleyball player Misty May-Treanor who ruptured her Achilles tendon on Friday. E! News reports:

ABC says that “[Misty’s] condition will be addressed on the show,” and Kim is not officially confirming that she is back in if Misty is out, but when contacted by E! News, Kardashian (who is in New Orleans for boyfriend Reggie Bush’s Monday Night Football game at the Superdome) says: “If they ask me to, I’m available. I’m back home tomorrow. We’ll see!”
