DWTS: New Season

[chooch850]

Possible stars for the new season are:

Dan Quayle
Florence Henderson
Kim Kardassian
Lance Bass
Warren Sapp

ABC will announce the full rouster next week.

[blazergirl]

Oh no, Dan Quayle? I feel dumber already.

[gasmilicous]

Apparently they asked Al Sharpton too. Fortunately for us, he turned them down.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Now he might have actually been fun to watch.

Is it a requirement for all former boy band boys to take a turn at DWTS?

[Ellsbells]

Yup! This will be the 2nd NSYNC'er. (Joey & now Lance)
Joey from NKOTB.
Drew from 98 Degrees.
Is that all so far? I feel like I'm missing someone.

btw - the commericals say they will be revealing the names on August 25.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Wasn't Joey from N'Sync? Or is that another Joe? They all start to blur a little for me.

[giffordsaz]

Warren Sapp.... is that Warren as in football or from the Justice Department?

[chooch850]

Nads has just reported in the "Newsgasm" that Dan Quayle will not be on DWTS. In fact, she reported it twice! (hehehe).

......and giff, Warren Sapp is/was a football player for the Tampa Bay Bucaneers.

Tink is right, Joey was with N'Sync.

[blazergirl]

DWTS had both Joey from NSYNC and Joey from NKOTB (on different seasons). Then of course there was Joey Lawrence. Not a boybander, but close enough if you ask me.

I will be interested to see Warren Sapp dance. He was a defensive tackle and is a big boy; he is definitely not built like Jason Taylor or Emmitt Smith.

[Ellsbells]

Tink is right, Joey was with N'Sync.

I was right, too. I said both Nsync and NKOTB.

See? ;)

Yup! This will be the 2nd NSYNC'er. (Joey & now Lance)
Joey from NKOTB.


Don't mess with me and my NKOTB - I did sleep outside for tickets once ya know! lmao!

Full cast revealed today!

At long last, ABC announced the cast of Dancing with the Stars 7 this morning on Good Morning America, ending our long national guessing fest that is a lot more interesting than the actual list, which once again seems to be missing actual stars. It also ends our suffering of having to actually watch the terrible mess known as Good Morning America.
The 13 cast members (the largest number ever) are ‘NSync’s Lance Bass, singer Toni Braxton, Rock Star INXS host Brooke Burke, reality show failure Rocco DiSprito, Olympian Maurice Greene, reality show star Kim Kardashian, actor Cloris Leachman, Hanna Montana’s Cody Linley, soap star Susan Lucci, actor Ted McGinley, Olympian Misty May-Treanor, comedian Jeff Ross, and NFL star Warren Sapp.
Rumored cast members Lance Bass, Kim Kardashian, and Warren Sapp were actually cast. People like Dan Quayle and Dan Marino were rumored but said they weren’t going to be on the show.
Thursday’s list from Gossip Sauce turned out to be surprisingly accurate, only getting Mark McGrath wrong, and the site is now claiming he “dropped out.” In Touch Weekly’s list got three out of six—half—completely wrong. Next season I’m totally making up a list and posting it just to generate a bunch of artificial traffic and media mentions.
The show debuts with a three hour (!) live premiere on Sept. 22.

[chooch850]

OMG... Rocco!!! Oh Gasmil, what a great cast. The only one I'm really not liking is Kim KardASShian. Ted McGinley & Susan Lucci will probably make it really far along with Lance Bass.

I can't wait for it to start...... 3 hrs of DWTS is perfect!

[giffordsaz]

He actually looks more cool than he is here.
I wonder why he actually keeps trying to do something other than cooking food for people to eat. When they talk about dancing with the stars, silly me, I would assume by stars they meant people who were stars.

[lennonwhore]

This is a great cast. I.m with you, Chooch...eww on the Kim Kardasshian!

[JulieM]

Ewwww on Susan Lucci.

[roadtripper8]

Rocco DiSprito :wub: :drool:

I have never watched DWTS but this might just be the tipping point for me.

[here4beer]

Susan Fucking Lucci. Awesome.

Rocco is a hottie, but WTH is he doing on this show? Kim K = 2 thumbs down. Go away, media whore!!

[dr.birdie]

Kim Karashian is dancing with the defending champion, Mark and Cloris Leachman is dancing with Mark's DAD, Corky.

Brooke Burke will be dancing with Derek Hough.

I think this should be an entertaining season at the very least. Susan Lucci's name has been tossed around since season two and Ted McGinley will probably take Steve Guttenberg's place as the nice guy that can't dance.

[blazergirl]

I think Brooke and Derek are going to do very well.

Lance is dancing with Lacey Schwimmer who was on season 3 of So You Think You Can Dance. She is an amazing ballroom dancer and they could be very good as well. I see them lasting quite a while.

[JulieM]

I'm so excited about Lacey being on!!!!

[gasmilicous]

Get out! Lacey is one of the dancers? Excellent.

Although, shouldn't Lance have been paried up with Benji maybe?

[chooch850]

There were rumors that they were going to pair Lance up with a male dancer...... wouldn't that have been something!

[here4beer]

Shut up!!! For some strange reason I am very excited by this news, even though Lacey annoyed me to no end on SYTYCD. I predict Lance is going to be ready to drop-kick her into the next millennium by week 3. :D I also think they are going to be Sofa King phenomenal.

[blazergirl]

Lacey is annoying but man can she ballroom dance! On SYTCD her over the top perkiness was too much, but on Dancing With The Stars she may fit right in.

[MelBell]

So, I just saw a commercial for the premiere for DWTS starting next week and is a 3 night "Live Event" really necessary? I'm not the biggest fan of DWTS but if I was I think it would be so annoying. Maybe it's becuase I have a short attention span and that just seems so drawn out to me.

[gychofe09]

I heard a rumor that Kristi Yamaguchi had been approached to do DWTS too. Shes not skating much these days, so she could do it.

[chooch850]

Pamela Anderson as one of the this season's "stars"! I'm trying to imagine it.....

Lacey has twittered that she won't be coming back for this time around. That's too bad, she tried to create something a little different than the others.

A full list will be announced on the finale of "The Bachelor" on Mar. 1st.

That's actually why I don't watch DWTS and have recently stopped watching The Biggest Loser - I need to watch more 1/2-hour-a-week shows and fewer two-hour-three-nights-a-week shows to get my life back :)

[chooch850]

They did the same thing last year. There are so many "stars" that it takes two nights for them all to dance so the third night is the night they vote some one off & I think maybe two go. I agree with you Pek... it's just tooo much TV!

[here4beer]

I hope they do "DanceCenter" to announce the cast. :D I love those bits!

[here4beer]

Saw the news that the new cast was announced, and my first reaction was NIECY FUCKING NASH!!! Woohoo!! I loooooooove her.

Here's the full list, kids, complete with unnecessary commentary:

Bachelor Jake Pavelka: I didn't know robots could dance. He's turning out to be quite the little fame-whore, no?

Pamela Anderson: Too famous for this show. Or at least, she *was* too famous for this show.

ESPN host Erin Andrews: She's pretty. That's all I know about her. Maks is her partner, so I'll probably hate her.

NFL star Chad Ochocinco: He's unintentionally hilarious. It takes a very special kind of person to change their name to a grammatically incorrect foreign word.

Reality "star" (lol) Kate Gosselin: Doesn't she have better things to do? Like, for example, TAKE CARE OF HER FUCKING KIDS?

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin: HELLZ YEAH. A real live astronaut! (Too bad he's about 800 years old)

Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek: I bet 500 imaginary bucks he'll win. Any takers?


Soap star Aiden Turner: I don't watch soaps, so insert your own stupid comment here.

Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger: Desperately trying to extend her 15 minutes to 20 by any means necessary.

Actress and comedian Niecy Nash: I repeat: HELLZ YEAH!!

Actress Shannen Doherty: I hope she punches someone!


There are some pretty big names this season, right? I actually didn't have to google one single person, which is crazy. What does everyone else think about the cast?

[Pegster]

I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't pair Maks with Kate Getoffmytvslin. I would have enjoyed seeing him berate her to tears.

Team Niecy Nash, FTW. I might actually have to vote.

[blazergirl]

NFL star Chad Ochocinco: He's unintentionally hilarious. It takes a very special kind of person to change their name to a grammatically incorrect foreign word.




I have to disagree; he is intentially hilarious; he does it all for a show. But I love him! People say he is over the top (which he is) and obnoixous but it's all in good fun. He has the best touchdown celebrations!

Anyway, Erin Andrews is a fantastic sportscaster but also was the woman who was spied on and video taped through a peep hole in her hotel room over the summer which was released on the internet. Creepy!

I also remembered that both Pamela Anderson and Shannon Doherty were married to the same man; Rick Solomon (the guy from Paris Hilton's sex tape). It should be interesting to see the dynamic between those two.

[here4beer]

@ Peg- I said this in chooch's post on the newsgasm side, but it's worth saying again: I think you and I were separated at birth! :D

Nice catch, BG. That should be verrrrry interesting.

[chooch850]

Hey everyone.... doesn't Kate Gosselin look amazing for the show's publicity pictures!

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/chooch850/kate1.jpg

I didn't recognize her at all!

[here4beer]

yawn/zzzzz

somebody wake me up when she thinks her kids are more important than being on TV.
