Dancing goddess is rejected

She was praised as a "golden goddess" on Monday, but now Petra Nemcova is a Dancing With the Stars reject.

The model and humanitarian was dismissed from the hit show on Tuesday, but she vowed to continue dancing.

"It's been a life-changing journey, not just for me, but also so many people got inspired because of the Dancing With the Stars show that I started to do dance-a-thons at schools to fund-raise for Happy Hearts and change the lives of so many children around the world," Nemcova said as she learned her Dancing fate.

After surviving the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, Nemcova founded the Happy Hearts Fund to improve the lives of children in natural-disaster areas through education.

She and professional partner Dmitry Chaplin danced their way into a three-way tie for last place.

The couple collected 22 points out of 30 for a quickstep routine on Monday that earned mixed reviews from the judges, though Bruno Tonioli called the model a goddess with "lines that could rival Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini put together".
