ET breaks "Dancing" news!

ET breaks news that "Dancing with the Stars"' finalist CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE, who tore a muscle in his bicep during a dance two weeks ago, has scheduled surgery for next Friday, after the finale.

The former "CSI: Miami" and telenovela star told us, "The arm cannot improve unless I have surgery and I have surgery scheduled for next Friday."

He said that his arm is hindering him in some ways in preparing for the upcoming finale: "The problem right now is that we don't use [the arm in our routine], but sometimes if we fall after a lift or something, and I put my weight on my arm, it really hurts.

"Yesterday that happened," he continued. "And you know, it's something that we really have to avoid because besides losing a half an hour of rehearsal [waiting] for the pain to go away, it hurts, you know, and we don't want that."

His partner CHERYL BURKE agreed, chiming in, "Last night he almost fell on the arm."
