Christie Brinkley breaks her arm and bows out of new season.


Her daughter will replace her for the competition. Well I guess Sean Spicer is safe for another week.

I have to admit that when I saw the fall she took, I immediately thought that here's a princess who has a boo boo and just wants out.

Turns out she broke both bones in her arm and had surgery to install a plate.

I think if I broke my arm that bad I would have cried more than she did.

I feel bad for her but jeez, did you see the fall? That dame is brittle. It didn't look bad at all and yet she utterly destroyed her arm.

She still looks great and I'm sure it must hurt for her to have missed this new chance at the lime light. But with that level of delicacy, perhaps she is lucky to be out of it. She'd be in a full body cast from Paso practice.

I haven't seen the video and have no interest in doing so. However, in fairness, minor accidents can cause major injuries. People have died from minor bumps on the head that most would say ouch to. Bones break for minor falls.

Her bones may be fragile, but it could just the way she fell or how her arm twisted. It isn't unheard-of.

She is also an avid vegetarian which, as we all know, comes with healthy levels of calcium.

Actually the daughter did quite well despite only 3 days of training. Apparently Val is a miracle worker.
