I heard today Florence Henderson may be or... now I forget the "older" gentleman!! (I'll think of it later!) Margaret Cho - the comment was Niecey Nash did such a good job bringing her bubbly personality - that they may try and find someone like her, or a commedienne - then with Margaret's name coming up, it will be interesting to watch her... Michaeil Bolton was thought not to be able to do it due to his concert schedule... Tony tweets he's excited (he had Kate last season) and the rumor is he is paired iwth Audrina...

Rick Fox was a major babe when he was younger. He was not fine; he was fioneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Hopefully Bristol will go very quickly.

NO idea who Audrina is but if Tony is delighted, then I'm thrilled for him. I hoped he'd be rewarded for 'taking one for the team' last season! ;)

Colordeagua stated: Found an article "confirming" Bristol Palin, Margaret Cho, and Jennifer Grey. Says Derek Hough will be paired with Jennifer. Interesting...maybe there so truth to the rumor that Derek gets to pick his partners. Of the three above, Jennifer is most likely the best dancer. Either he gets to pick or the show puts him with the best dancer since he is popular and will draw viewers to up the ratings. Why can't DWTS get and real stars anymore?

ITA that there are leaks with rumors to cover the real list - keep it in the news so they will get ratings for their other ABC show (in this case Bachelor Pad - I really watch Bach/bach-ette, but this one, I gave it 5 min, and it lost my attention) Anyways... Audrina person is a reality star from The Hills - I never watched that show, and with the Spencer and Heidi Montag on The Hills, it wasnt going to capture my attention at all!! I dont know Cricket - I do remember Jodi Foster didnt fare too well on the show... there were rumors that Jennifer wasnt good at dancing or her lessons back in the day - I reread that on Fans of reality tv recently they werent impressed with her skills... and real stars - I think they (ABC) gets stars that are BIG names in the news, but little stars so they can get promotions for their other shows - I'm surprised no one from the Bachelor shows are going to make an appearance... I know lots of those C listed. Dlisted - reality stars really want to go on, I know Chris Jenner had hoped to get picked, her daughter Kim Kardashian got picked - They should let us pick - but then I'll bet some of those reality stars would figure out a way to cheat their way on a list!

I will not watch the show, but will DVR it.I enjoy my TV way to much to watch the likes of Kate last season or Bristol this season. The only dancers I'm interested in are the sports guys. So............fast forward - watch my hunk of the season ....... then out!

Do you have something personally against Bristol Palin or are you opposed to her because of her mother? Just curious why you have such a strong reaction to her...

it's being reported Edyta has quit the show after some problems with the producers...Lacey apparently will replace her (she wasn't originally asked to be on), and Kym is likely back.

The DVR is a powerful tool.. I hardly ever watch "live" anymore. I would hope many REAL stars in their prime are pretty busy making movies and then cherishing their time off in between acting gigs. Most of the people on this show are real stars looking for some fresh publicity or lesser known looking for.. any publicity. And then some people are asked and think, "why not?"

I watched one ten minute segment of the Jon/Kate's show. If I'd ever talked to another - like Kate talked to Jon, life wouldn't have been pretty. I have 3 girls and 2 step son (21 to 26). They all grow up together - in a 1100 square foot house - you learned to love. And as far as Bristol - I can't stand to hear her tell America, how hard it is to be a single parent and what bad choices she made. What about putting a different spin on it - like this is how you get through this situation. I don't know her and could care less about the mother.... but when she makes comments about the baby - it tugs at my heart. But both women have come up smelling like roses and I guess good for them. I'm over Bristol's 15 minutes and will DVR to watch Kurt Warner. I was just thinking out loud - as they seem to drag us into to their whirlpool - I was just stating what part of the show will make me happy. Sorry if I offend anyone.

Wilson, are they official? I heard Florence Henderson has been a maybe for several of the last seasons too. I will be interested to see Jennifer Grey (she's the Dirty Dancing one, right?). I know Audrina is in a reality show of some sort... not sure I'm that interested in her but if she can dance or at least puts a lot of effort in I'm happy to watch her. Ditto with Bristol Palin.

the guys: Michael Bolton The Situation David Hasselhoff Kurt Warner Kyle Massey (A Disney Channel star- so there's the cross-promotion) Rick Fox so we got three pairs of similarities- MTV stars (Audrina and The Situation), sports stars (Kurt and Rick), and former "America's Got Talent" judges (Brandy and David)

I couldnt believe Michael Bolton - esp if you read the sluethers on another site that looked at his concert schedule!! Also ITA about Bristol - it is NOT political, I think its sad that she is famous for either her mother (which is fine, I thought it was sad that the Bush twins were famous too - they were just normal teenagers being hounded by the press... same for Bristol ) or because she is a teenage mother (again, its not so much of who or what she is famous for - it just doesnt appeal to me to be a "fan" and follow her every move... hope that makes as much sense as I meant it to... and of course that situation and snookie characters appeal not at all to me - but I'm not in their demographic - and I think that they (DWTS) do try and keep an eye for the media not so much stars.. but media in the spotlight...

I think Brandy will add a fun sweet element - as will Florence - I dont see Florence as being the comic element, but another class act... I still think of Brandy in her roll of Cinderella - - all in all I still watch

No, The Situation is the comic element (and apparently, due to MTV commitments he's only going to be able to do about half the practicing the others will get)...let's see who the parings end up being- they're announcing them Wednesday.

Thanks Wilson . From the men I only know Michael Bolton and David Hasselhoff (bit shocked at that one!). Heard of "The Situation" of course and if he's like his reality tv "character" I will not be a fan.

I read someone said the unwed mother should go, are you refering to Brandy, or Bristol? Why all the animosity against Bristol? Is it because her mother ran for Vice-President of the United States? I do wonder why this would qualify her to be a real "celebrity", I mean she's not as high up as, let's say, a reality "star", she's just the daughter of a high ranking Republican. I am very surprised she agreed to be on this show and open herself up to scathing commentary and criticism. She doesn't have a prayer.

So now it's "dancing with the offspring of Stars". I thought they had played fast and loose with the definition of Star in the past when they cast Kate, but this is beyond nuts.

I read somewhere around this net that Edyta was upset with her contract ( she wanted more star status? and wanted more air time with her husband?) so she is still under contract with DWTS - so it may be some public negotiating going on... or not?

Reader, the rumor is that Lacey Schwimmer wasn't originally going to be a pro this season, but got asked at the last minute to replace someone, so she's probably replacing Edtya.

Thanks for answering my question. My problem with Bristol (and most of these other people) is that people like Bristol and The Situation just aren't high profile enough...they seem like seat fillers to me! I love to be pleasantly surprised though so perhaps that will change. I haven't followed Miss Palin's life that much but I hope she has a platform that talks about the difficulty of being a single parent and how teens should really guard against that situation! I'm a single parent...and I was 38 when my daughter was born...and it is HARD! I can't imagine having done it when I was in my teens.
