Toni Braxton voted off of 'Dancing'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. singer Toni Braxton and her partner Alec Mazo were eliminated from the competition series "Dancing with the Stars" during Tuesday night's results episode.

"I wanted to do better, to breathe better and I was definitely breathing better. I've come a long way from week 1 to week now," People.com quoted Braxton as saying. "This has been very good for me."

Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, reality television personality Kim Kardashian, actor Ted McGinley and comedian Jeffrey Ross -- and their partners -- all got the boot during previous episodes of the dance competition show and Olympic beach volleyball champ Misty May-Treanor was forced to drop out due to an injury.

Still in the running for the mirror ball trophy, along with their professional dance partners, are Brooke Burke, Lance Bass, Maurice Greene, Susan Lucci, Cloris Leachman, Cody Linley and Warren Sapp.

People.com quoted Julianne Hough's representative as saying the 20-year-old professional dancer was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after Tuesday night's show because she "was experiencing slight stomach pains all day that increased and the doctors thought it was best to have them checked out."

Publicist Cindy Guagenti insisted Hough "didn't collapse," contrary to some reports claiming she had.

Hough is dancing with Linley this season.
