Was someone mentioning Candace Cameron Bure? Ah yes, she’s the one who’s been “speculated” or “wished for” on DWTS for a few seasons now. Where the speculation came from – her or her fans – I don’t remember. And I don’t really care. But according to her, it ain’t happening. I would suggest she’s lying at the direction of producers, but since she is very religious – well, she best not be.

Okay, this exchange, below, scares me more than LaToya and Pam Anderson combined. Please, God, NO. Please. I don’t ask for much, but I cannot tolerate Marie Osmond. I came to like Donny very much – but save me from Marie, please. To say I disliked her when she was a contestant on DWTS is putting it mildly. And if the dude below ends up being right, I will curse all you Sam Harris haters for making the show WORSE. You know what they say…better the enemy you know. lol

You all know who Billy Bush is – he’s a radio and TV Host. R.J. Johnson, according to his twitter page, is a TV producer/writer in LA. He could be full of crap, he could be right – I’m just reporting the conversation. I want to share my fear.

It’s so bizarre it’s probably true. I’ll try to remain positive and not make any predictable and cliche comments (aka Boob Jokes). I’ve seen Pam in person and she’s very tiny…from the waist down. Well, that lasted a long time. Heh.

Well, I have to confess that I only know the stereotyped Pam Anderson. Maybe she’ll be cool. Derek told Brooke to keep her chest off his in the quickstep – how do you think he’d react to Pam Anderson? LOL. Anyway, since I can’t talk about this without being negative and/or dirty, I’ll just report what Radar Online has to say:

Exclusive: Pam Anderson heading to Dancing with the Stars

Pam Anderson has signed to be on the next season of ABC’s hit Dancing With the Stars, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

In a move that’s sure to boost the male viewing audience [ed. that's what they all say], Pam and the show have agreed to all terms for a deal and the deal is done, a source told RadarOnline.com.

Lord help me.

The thing that’s making me go “Hmmmm….” right now is this:

My question is – if it’s something she’s getting ready to work on, why wouldn’t SHE announce it…unless it’s seriously in the entertainment business. You know how they like to announce their own stuff. Anyway, there’s been a lot of pushing around the ‘net for Melissa to take Samantha’s place on DWTS since Samantha left DWTS. This pushing has been by Melissa fans, of course, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. I even sort of jokingly suggested it myself in a previous post! IF…and it’s a BIG IF because I don’t think that the producers pay that much attention to fans (because LOTS of celebs have huge fanbases, frankly)…if DWTS is Melissa’s announcement, what do you think of it? Is there something else Melissa has been rumored for and I’ve missed it? I read her twitter page back several days and I didn’t see anything.

Whatever is going on, I wish Melissa tons of success. I don’t think I would actually have an issue with her taking Samantha’s place. She’d do better than Sam and Paula combined (although that bar is set pretty low ).

Don’t anyone freak out – I could be TOTALLY off base on this speculation.

I previously posted about having a Dancing with the Stars All Stars. I still think that would be an amazing season of Dancing with the Stars. All the amazing dancers strutting their stuff. Well, as I was listing all of the celebrities I’d like to see on DWTS, I also thought about how funny it would be to have a DWTS battle of the worst.

Ok, I’m not sure I really want to watch a full season of it. Maybe just an episode or two combined with the All Stars or something. Plus, I don’t know if the winner is the best of the worst or if being named the worst is the one that should get the title. Either way, here’s a list of some of the worst dancers the show’s seen. Many of which I truly would enjoy seeing them on the show again.

Tom Delay – I’m sure that Heidi will kill me for putting him on this list. The funny part is that is exactly why I’d like to see him on the show again…lol

Holly Madison – She’s just too good looking. I don’t really care how she dances.

Steve Wozniak – I’m a nerd and the Woz is an idol for nerds. Plus, he loved the show so much and really gave EVERYTHING that he had on the show. Not to mention that killer worm he did. Plus, I’d like to see him dance with someone other than Karina.

Jeffrey Ross – He was a horrible dancer, but at least he made me laugh. His roasts were a bit over the top for the moment and the show, but I still laughed a lot. Bring him back to make me laugh.

Adam Carolla – He was funny like Jeffrey Ross too. I guess I enjoy the humor. Since they can’t dance at least their humor was entertaining.

Josie Maran – Yes, I have a bias for models, but I also think she should have done better than she did. America shouldn’t have sent her home so early.

Mark Cuban – Another computer guy, but I also loved how fully invested he was in the competition. I loved watching the various ways he tried to get votes and stay on longer.

Paulina Porizkova – With a name like that, she should be back.

Shandi Finnessey – Her and Paulina could have a battle of crazy names.

Tucker Carlson – He was just terrible. A list of the worst must include him.

Kenny Mayne – I love when he had girl’s makeup on. Oh yes, and he challenges Tucker for worst dancer I think.

Imagine what a show with all of these dancers would be like? Who else deserves to be on the DWTS Battle of the Worst?

No, I don’t know who Jason Chambers is, but he said he met with DWTS peeps today. So it doesn’t matter if I know who he is or not. Here’s what he had to say on Twitter:

Turns out that Jason Chambers is HOT, 6 foot tall and a former mixed martial arts fighter. He’s 28 years old and an English commentator for Bellator Fighting Championships’ English broadcast – nope, don’t know what that is either. Jason’s Wiki

Bring him on – or is there something I don’t know? Fill me in.

Find out during the finale of The Bachelor!!  According to Entertainment Tonight online, Tom will be doing the announcement during the two hour finale of that show – I guess the ratings need a boost?   Get your Tums ready.

ABC says they will make the most of “The Bachelor” finale, airing Monday March 1, during which “Dancing with the Stars” host Tom Bergeron will announce new dancers throughout the dramatic two-hour conclusion to the popular romance reality series.

Shock of shocks, People.com is reporting that Greg Louganis wants to be on Dancing with the Stars!! Gee…where have I heard this one before? That’s right, this rumor started a while back and I reported on it here and here and here!  Now, People.com is quoting Greg as saying “put me on Dancing with the Stars”.  What does all this mean? Well, the original rumor was that he was vying for a spot on the show and subsequent rumors have been that he wants to be on the show. “Vying” could mean that he’s just putting it out there, or it could mean he was actually under consideration.  I tend to think that there is a real possibility of Greg being on the show, if not this season, then the next.  Mainly because, as I’ve said before, they had him do a cameo last seasons – that strengthens the possibility in my eyes.

Since I was doing this for the rumored females….potential partner? Well, Greg is 49, an Olympian and 5′9″ tall.  I’m going to say Karina, Cheryl or MAYBE Edyta.

Dancing with the Stars’ own Louie Vito just made the US Olympic Snowboard Halfpipe team. Congrats to Louie. Here’s a part of the news from his website:

Louie Vito has qualified for the US Olympic Snowboard Halfpipe Team on January 23rd in Park City, UT. Vito finished with 800 points on the season after having secured two 2nd place finishes at the Copper and Mammoth Grand Prix stops.

“When I get to Vancouver, I want it to be an experience and really take it all in”, said Vito of his Olympic opportunity. “You know, it’s a once in a lifetime chance and I want to do well and put down a good run, but I just really want to take it all in and enjoy it, and have fun.”

Too bad this Olympic fame wasn’t before Dancing with the Stars. Would have gotten him some more votes. I can’t wait to see him represent the US in the Olympics.

I’ve seen a number of different possible scenarios for Paula on Season 10, in addition to the possibility of her competing. The way that TMZ worded their article, I assumed they wanted her as a contestant. However, I’ve seen some assume she would be on as a Judge. I’ve also, since Sam quit, seen quite a few people state that it seems obvious that Paula would take Sam’s place – including Annie Barrett from Entertainment Weekly (via Twitter).

What is the likelihood of either scenario?? Well, considering that Paula was supposedly offered 1 million dollars, I have to believe that it’s either for competing or judging and that if it’s judging it’s one season only. Paula made many times that on American Idol, so she doesn’t need the work, plus that number seems too low!! Additionally, I have to think that hosting with Tom Bergeron would be a step down, in her mind, from judging on American Idol (and possibly, now, X-Factor). Also, since one million dollars is far above what I’ve heard the most popular celebs have made on that show, I’m starting to lean towards her being the fourth judge. Since the British version of DWTS has four judges on a regular basis, this isn’t out of the question. She would definitely add a different judging element to the show and, frankly, she’s every bit as qualified as Carrie Ann and Bruno, maybe more so. That’s why I’m so opposed to her being a contestant. I think I actually wouldn’t mind seeing her on as a fourth judge. AND, a fourth judge would mean less filler on a two hour performance show when only 12 couples are dancing.

So…contestant, judge or host? Your vote? Mine is for judge, definitely not for either contestant or host. Tom is awesome enough – add in Drew or maybe Brooke Burke. Heck, even Melissa Rycroft!

The news was just announced that Samantha Harris will not be back as host of Dancing with the Stars 2010. People reports that she’s leaving the show as her work on The Insider has increased along with working at Entertainment Tonight Weekend.

People also reported this quote from DWTS co-host Tom Bergeron, “Still, if Bergeron has his way, he will try to get Harris to return to the ballroom. “I’ve been known to try to twist arms behind the scenes,” he says. “I’m hoping this frees her up for us to have her as a contestant.””

I don’t believe Tom when he says that he will try to twist arms to get her back. Although, maybe he likes having Samantha make him look good. If you’ve read this blog for any time, you know that I’m not a fan of Samantha Harris at all. She’s nice on the eyes, but otherwise was a bad fit for me. I’ve certainly learned in the past that change isn’t always better. However, I think Dancing with the Stars has a good chance that this change will be better.

No hard feelings towards Samantha. I don’t mind her on the entertainment shows and I also wouldn’t mind her coming back to dance on DWTS at some point. Best of luck to her in her future endeavors.

Now to think about who might replace her.
