I heard Chris Harris mention on the Bachelor that Melissa and someone else will be announcing the names of the stars on Dancing With The Stars next Monday after the Bachelor. Sounds to me like she got the job and I cannot stand her.

quote:Writings and postings on Dancing with the Stars Tuesday, February 23, 2010 Season 10 DWTS Professionals - The Chinese Water Torture of Reality TV (Updated to add Maks) Pity the poor dancing pros who await to find out if they are in season 10 of Dancing with the Stars. It's a big deal to their career and pocket, plus they get constantly nagged and reminded on Twitter that they haven't confirmed yet. Shed a tear, and then remember it's a job and it comes with the territory. For unknown reasons (possibly because the celebrities haven't signed their contracts yet) the professionals have been told in dribs and drabs whether they are appearing. Cheryl Burke confirmed first, and the others just seem to be waiting for a call, running to Twitter after they put the phone down. Here are the professionals that are (almost certainly) definite: - Cheryl Burke - Chelsie Hightower - Edyta Slwinska - Derek Hough - Mark Ballas - Tony Dovolani - Louis van Amstel - Maksim Chmerkovskiy Chelsie and Louis actually tweeted they were on, and then deleted the tweets! Assuming there are 11 couples, there are four more to go. Also, keep your eye on Damian Whitewood from Burn The Floor. His girlfriend posted on Facebook that he would be appearing. Source: Pure DWTS Most importantly, shed a real tear for Lacey Schwimmer and Jonathan Roberts who will not be appearing. It's a shame, but going from 16 couples to 11 means someone will be disappointed. I know that Lacey's fans, in particular, are not happy!

Whew, I love Edyta, and I am so glad she's coming back. She is my favorite. I love her patience when she is paired with a dud.

I feel bad for Jonathan. I think he's a beautiful man and a beautiful dancer. I really could care less about Lacey.

Jonathan is one of my faves. Sniffle. Hope they bring him back next season.

OMG, I didn't even notice Kym's name was missing. She is also one of my favorites, Kitt. I know they need to bring in the younger blood, but I really don't think I would miss Chelsie. Also, I practically fell in love Daddy Ballas. I wish he could come back.

Don't know if this has been mentioned -- according to AARP magazine, Jennifer Grey is "rumored to be in talks to appear on Dancing With the Stars."

She was 23 when she made Dirty Dancing. She is 46 now. I don't believe she was a 'dancer' when she got the role of Baby, but learned for the movie.

Yeah, I don't mind people who danced for a role in a movie, I just don't like those who danced professionally. It'd be great if we had a season without controversy this year, although earlier on there were hints that Paula Abdul would be on there, and that would cross the line (by far) for me. I follow Christina Applegate on twitter and she is taking dancing lessons (remember some of those with no dance experience take classes to get a little background before they start practicing with their partner). She denies it being for DWTS but I would absolutely love to see her on the show.

She danced amazingly in the film, so if she wasn't a dancer before, she certainly was afterwards. (IMHO) Mind you, compared to some of the other entertainers who've been on DWTS, who've also been known to 'hoof' a bit, I guess she's no more nor less a dancer than they are.

Yeah, I mean ideally they wouldn't have people who've been trained even for a movie role, but they jumped that ship many many seasons ago!

If Christina Applegate is going to be on the show, she has also danced professionally--on Broadway with Sweet Charity. In fact, she tore a tendon or something while dancing and had to leave the show for a while. And that show has TOUGH choreography--Fosse did the original choreography for Gwen Verdon.

That's probably why Joanthan is still going to be doing some group dancing then, he'll be paired with Anna. Tish, Christina has denied she's going on, I was just suspicious as she said she's taking dance lessons.

So at this point, none of the three who are on the two newest DWTS fitness videos are actually ON DTWS now... Maks is the only one from the original left. I'm glad Maks was picked between him and Karina. He is much more enjoyable to watch. Even when he has a shirt on. ;-)

Reality Blurred is saying that Karina will be on, so I guess we'll find out for sure on Monday ...
