DWTS – Media Updates, Season 12 Rumors Begin, Interviews, etc.
Can you relate to this right now like I can?
Finished 3 Day Turkey, Stuffing & Pie Triathlon. Received bronze medal. Color reminded me of gravy. Need to snap out of it.

LOL!
So, how is everyone doing today? I hope well. Just a few media things to share with you. First up, don’t forget Cheryl and Derek will be performing on “Live With Regis and Kelly” this week at the Wynn in Las Vegas on TUESDAY!! Check your local TV affiliates for the exact time of the show. Cheryl posted this on twitter last night. Sounds like they are having fun while waiting.
Didn't know u can get into a club in vegas with uggs and sweat pants!! Lol! Let's get it @makeupjojo and @OfficialDHough. So much fun!!

Here is an interview I missed posting before the show of Kyle and his brother on PopstopTV. I thought it was interesting to note about what they said on Bristol and the media and if they have been too mean to her this season. Is the media mean to everyone or did Bristol have it coming?
When you have politics involved, it’s bound to get dicey at times in my opinion. Hopefully, we won’t have to endure politicals again with the show. But, I’ve ran into several things out there with a mention on Christine O’Donnell being on the show next Season. From the NY Daily.
Thought you saw the last of Christine O’Donnell when she lost in the midterm elections? Think again.
The much-mocked Tea Party darling who was trounced in her bid for the Delaware Senate earlier this month is rumored to be under consideration for a spot on the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” thanks to some behind-the-scenes help from Sarah Palin.
O’Donnell is a fan of the show, and tweeted her support for Bristol on Monday.
“I just voted for Bristol on DWTS!” she wrote, encouraging others to vote. “She’s enduring a lot & should be proud. It’s shameful the way she is being attacked.”
But even if Mama Palin wants to bring O’Donnell back into the spotlight, does anyone else think it would be a good fit?
ABC does, apparently.
“Christine is not a bad idea at all,” a network executive told Shuter. “After Kate Gosselin and Cloris Leachman, O’Donnell would fit right in. She certainly would be so controversial that the amount of press attention and buzz the show would get would be huge. Plus, you know they would make her dance in a witch’s hat with a broomstick.”
Fox News reports that O’Donnell would get at least $200,000 to appear on the show.
😮 Please I hope they won’t go there! lol
So, who would you like to see for new contestants on the show next Season? I’m still wishing for Johnny Weir. I’d also like to see them approach David Cassidy, Susan Dey, or Shirley Jones.
Corky Ballas also had a few things to say on Bristol and the the results this week. Here is take from Radar On-line.
“Comparing her (Bristol) to Jennifer Grey was like a Volkswagen to Rolls Royce.”
“Everyone expected Jennifer to win,” he added, “Nobody puts baby in the corner; come on! She danced in Dirty Dancing. It would have been a joke if she didn’t win.”
Corky has trained many of Dancing with the Stars’ professionals including Karina Smirnoff, Julianne Hough, Derek Hough and Tony Dovolan.
This season, he partnered with Florence Henderson until she was eliminated in week five of the competition.
“No one was mad that Bristol lost,” Corky told RadarOnline.com. “At the end of the day, this is a TV show. People just had way too much invested in the show.”
While Corky took the dance floor on the season finale, he also found time to speak with Bristol’s mom, the former Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, during a backstage catch-up.
“I spoke with Sara and congratulated her on how well Bristol did,” Corky said.
“I told Sara that Bristol put on a brave face throughout this entire ordeal. Not only does the show kick your butt — with the dancing and training — Bristol had to deal with a lot of other stuff.”
“People called her names, saying she’s fat and calling her mother stupid.
“For that young woman to go out there like that and perform her butt off, that takes tenacity and thick skin. I tip my hat to Bristol.”
Ok, that is all for you for now. Have a great Sunday Everyone!!xx 😉
Christine O’Donnel would be interesting lol and what Corky siad about Britsol is 100% true. She tried her best and she definately has thick skin since she handled all that bad press like a pro (which is to be expected after the presidential election). If I had to cast the show I would get the following stars:
) Cheryl and andy richter
2) Derek and Nicole “Snooki” from Jersey Shore
3) Marrk and Karen Olivo (Tony Winning Broadway Star)
4) Corky and Debbi Morgan (AMC actress)
5) Tony and Iman (model and host of the fashion show)
6) Maks and Kirstie Alley
7) Lacey and Chris Kirkpatrick (member of of Nsync)
8) Anna and Jonathan Horton (olympic gymnist)
9) Kym and jeff gordon
10) Damien and tori spelling
11) Chelsie and david archuletta
12) Karina and mark mcguire
that smilely face should be an 8 lol
Good ideas. I’d love to see Kirstie Alley do the show!!
Vin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally want Karen Olivo to do DWTS!!! I just love her but I dont know who to pair her with. But I wouldnt put her with Mark. She needs someone who can match her fun personality. I had the amazing opportunity to watch her in West Side Story in NYC and i’ve been begging ever since for tptb to consider her. Right on Vin!
Maks! Thats who could be paired with Karen! Maks would be tough on her but I know she can handle it. She’s a New Yorker after all. I think those two would work swell together, maybe Derek too.
Seriously, don’t you think it’s time to stop bashing Bristol. Putting Christine O’Donnel’s head on Bristol’s body is low and classless. Hasn’t she received enough abuse? Apparently you think not.
Pam, that pic is from the NY daily. None of us here manipulated it. None of us are bashing Bristol either.
Lisa Kelly from Ice Road Truckers on the History channel! She is amazing – not a performer, but she has a lot of courage. Did you see her driving those trucks in the Himalayans?

You know who I’d like to see on the show? Of course, there’d probably be calls of “ringer” and “prior dance experience”, but I think that Kelly Pickler, Idol contestant and country singer, would be a hoot and a half. *g* I have no idea if she HAS any actual experience any more than any other singer that’s been on, mind you. I just think she’d be a load and a half of fun. *g*
Would love to see Emmy award winning actor A Martinez on the show. He’s done daytime, feature films and primetime. He was recently on an episode of Castle. He’s be perfect, but not so sure he’d do it.
Late commenting – but I’d love a genre we haven’t seen before – opera sopranos. The top sopranos nowadays are all (well, 99%) gorgeous and in great shape and would add an interesting “diva” dynamic. lol. Personally, I’d love to see Renee Fleming, although I know there’s no way she would have the time….
I just siad Mark since they look like they would be around the same height lol I don’t know why but I really hope they get Snooki too. It would be quite funny and she would last longer than the Situation if she were paired up w derek.
Good ideas everyone!! Love the opera genre idea addition too!
I have a looong list of people I’d love to see on DWTS:
-Jennifer Love Hewitt
-Jessica Simpson
-anybody from That 70s Show (especially Mila or Wilmer)
-Kendra Wilkinson/Hank Baskett
-soap actress Lindsey Hartley
-Christine Lakin (from Step by Step, has said on Twitter she’d love to do it)
-Kourtney Kardashian (she’d be SO much better than Kim)
That’s only a few. There are oh so many more, but those are my tops
Aubie, good choices too. I’d love to see Jennifer and Jessica. Another person I’d love to see (after seeing her in te audience all this past season) is Jamie Lee Curtis. Tom Selleck would be fun too.
Hey guys! I wanna hear your thoughts on my season 12 dream cast and pro pairings! Wooohooo! P.S. Isnt it pathetic that SWTS ” A new liitle skating show with pretty much no names that not all that many people have heard of ” has better singers than DWTS ” The highest rated show on TV “. For real! I was watching the performance done to ” You Spin My Head Right Round by Flo Rida ” and it sounded almost JUST like the real thing and DWTS singers specialty is butchering hit songs ” Cough ” Hey Soul Sister, For your Entertainment, Boom Boom Pow ” Cough “. Anyway here it is. 😀
Tori Spelling and Damian Whitewood
Landon Donovan and Ashly Costa
Miley Cyrus and Derek Hough
Steven Colbert and Karina Smirnoff ” Idk with Karina ”
Snookie and Mark Ballas ” LOL! ”
Ty Pennington and Lacey Schwimmer
Magic Johnson and Anna Demidova
Vanessa Williams and Tony Dovalani
Bret Micheals and Kym Johnson
Samantha Harris and Jonathan Roberts
Betty White and Corky Ballas
Ryan Seacrest and Jullianne Hough
Sherri Shepard and Louis Van Amstel
Bill Clinton and Cheryl Burke
All right guys, Like the cast or not you gotta admit the Cheesecake awards would be AMAZING with Betty White, Bill Clinton, and Snookie in the same cast and how cool would it be to see Samantha back DANCING??? Even tho it would be reeeeeaaaallly wierd seeing Brooke interview Sam when they go to get their scores even though Sam would probably just take over anyway. Rofl 😀
Oh wait that was a recording on SWTS wasnt it? Yeeeeaaahhh
I like that cast Zach. I would just get rid ofseacrest though. He seems to have a million jobs (e NEWS, idol, the radio show, producer) it might be too much to add dwts to his list. Bill Clinton would be hysterical. Wasn’t Landon donavan supposed to beon season 11? If thye get him for season 12 it would be cool.
Excellent Zach! From your list, I’d especially like to see Bill Clinton (my fave Prez of all time <3 )!!!
Vin, Putting Seacrest on that list is just a scheme to get Jullianne back :D. But what you say is true. Haha, Yea but Landon said he was too tired or something and he would like to do DWTS later. Soooo who knows?
Thx, Vogue! Its Ronald Reagen for me but obviously that wasnt a possibility. 😀 Plus Clinton makes much better cheesecake. 🙂
True! LOLLLLL
My predicted season 12 cast: I put who I think their partners would/should be in brackets, cause why not be ridiculously obsessive:
1. Farrah Abraham (MTV’s Teen Mom) [Derek]
2. Teresa Giudice (Real Housewives of New Jersey) [Louis]
3. Grace Jones (Singer, actress) [Maksim]
4. Michelle Kwan (Figure skater) [Tony]
5. Brooke Shields (Actress) [Dmitry]
6. Jessica Simpson (Singer) [Mark]
7. Joe Jonas (Singer, the Jonas Brothers) [Chelsie]
8. Rob Kardashian (Keeping Up with the Kardashians) [Karina]
9. Terrell Owens (Football star) [Kym]
10. T- Pain (Singer) [Cheryl]
11. Buddy Valastro (TLC’s Cake Boss) [Anna T.]
12. Wierd Al Yankovic (Singer, comedian) [Lacey]
LOL! Buddy from Cake Boss! Rofl! Love that…
Weird Al would be a great addition! I totally would vote for Brooke Shields if she did the show.
No more Tea Party people. Seriously, if the TP witch Christine Odonell is on next season, I will not watch this show and this is a solemn promise as I have sat out complete seasons in the past.
My personal requests are to see Jim McMahon(former QB from Chicago Bears) and Keisha Knight Puliam(Rudy from Cosby show). If that happens, I will be happy. Also, Dmitry must come back!
GOOD IDEA FOR JIM McMAHON!! Guest, that would make my husband very happy too if he did the show.
AnnaT, love your Brooke Shield’s choice too!
Loving everybody’s lists! I LOVE the idea of a retired baseball player–I don’t think we’ve seen that yet and they obviously can’t use an active player. I could live with Bill Clinton too!
My Wish List:
-Alyssa Milano, actress
-Candace Cameron Bure, actress
-Heather McDonald, Comedian
-Brian Boitano, 1988 OGM Figure Skating
-Giada De Laurentiis, celebrity chef
-Tommy Lasorda, retired MLB player and manager
-David Cone, retired MLB pitcher and former analyst
-Matthew Broderick, actor
-Alan Menken, Disney composer
-Caroline Kennedy or Maria Shriver
-I like Jonathan Horton too but think he’s training for London 2012
-Dick Button, 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Figure Skating and SWTS Judge–nice cross-over for the 2 shows
-Jamie Sale, Olympic Gold Medalist Pairs Skating
-Chris Evert, Retired Tennis player and Analyst
Oh Heather, I LOVE your list. I’m a huge Chris Evert fan (I use to play tennis…still do on occasion). Love the Caroline Kennedy and Maria Shriver choices too.
