DWTS – Rumors, Rumors, And Even More Rumors! Or Is It Official – Yeah Right!
Well, I have to laugh. I just ran onto this new article at The Telewatcher who claim they know some of the dance contestants for Season 12. I did a quick search for anything “official” for where they might be getting this news and there’s nothing out there…..nada…..not even a hint at some of the big names that are listed. “TOO” BIG if you ask me for this to sound realistic?? But, hey.
Courtney Cox, the actress will be dancing for our eyes this year, everyone loves Friends!
Elle Macpherson is best known as a super model to most of us, but is actually also an actress and buiseness woman.
Tina Fey, an actress from hit comedy 30 Rock will be dancing this year.
Cheryl Cole is a singer from the UK, and also judges the X Factor in England, a show which Simon Cowell has just set up in America.
Vince Vaughn is a great actor that most of us should know!
Rob Lowe is an american actor who’s been in things such as ‘Waynes World’ and ‘The Outsiders’, and actually look’s a bit like Zac Efron!
And if that wasn’t bad enough, Associated Content recycled what the Telewatcher wrote with an exception they are adding even more to the list. See below.
…Cher’s name has been mentioned, also. The hype is not in yet as to who the others may be definitely. Other suggestions have been Alec Baldwin, Al Yankovich, Cynthia Ann Nixon, and even Dr. Phil. It is hard to believe that Cher would consider doing the show, with all of her other accomplishments such as her choreographed numbers for her shows.
Wait! They forgot Madonna and Brad Pitt. 😯 I’m sorry, but, I can’t see Cher doing the show either not that I wouldn’t love that possibility.
Heidi: I told Vogue that if she was going to post this she had to mock. She did a great job, I’m thinking. 🙂 Let’s be real here – does anyone believe that ANYONE on this list other than Cheryl Cole is even remotely likely to be on Season 12?? Of course, if it turns out to be true we will look like idiots – but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. 🙂 Now, Al?? That has some potential.
What about the possibilty of political guru, AL SHARPTON? Thanks to Pure DWTS reader Maddy for this heads up from the New York Post.
GOOD dancer Al Sharpton, so publicity shy, might forsake even another story about him to be on “Dancing With the Stars” . . .
Ewww, not sure on Al. I have a feeling I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry watching him if this were true? lol
Ok, so my head is spinning. 😉 xxx
This article is great! Some of the stars are realistic for the show though. Courtney Cox could be a possibility but I doubt it since scream 4 is coming out. Rob Lowe could be fun to watch but isn’t he on Parks and Recreation? The two names that I can totally see do the show are Cheryl (glad to hear this rumor come back since it would be fun to see her do the show.) and Elle MacPherson (This is an awesome idea and she could win the show if she was a good dancer since she is a model most people have heard of as well). As for the Cher rumor, all i can say is as much as people want to see that happen it nevver will. She will always be too big for any reality show…..she is the musical equivlant to Meryl streep (in lack of a better example).
As for Tina Fey, I would totally love to see that happen. I hope the Vince Vaughn thing doesn’t turn out to be true…..(this is just my opinion but I don’t find him funny at all. Al Yankovich would be a great addition to the show though.
I would LOVE to have Cheryl Cole on this show! I have recently been listening to British Pop Music and she ROCKS! Love the song “Parachute” which Derek makes a cameo in the music video btw. I bought her album and love it. I hope she does do this show since it doesn’t seem like my first choice is even an afterthought at this point. But I hope Cheryl does the show!!!!
Honestly, I love the list, because I know them all (except Rob Lowe) but look at this link from last year: http://sportales.com/shooting/dancing-with-the-stars-2011-cast-revealed/
The publish date is May 27th, so obviously it was a line-up for Season 10, and once again, it featured Cher, Weird Al, Cynthia Nixon and Dr. Phil, alongside Godfrey, Jenny McCarthy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Val Kilmer, Dana Torres and Sasha Cohen. Did you see any of these on Dancing with the Stars last year? No, so obviously it’s a wish list. Shame, though, because what a star-studded line-up if it was real!
Apologies, I meant to write Season 11 and not Season 10.
And Cheryl Cole has been reported to be judging a new rival show, The USA X Factor, so it seems very unlikely she’d do this.
Derek more than makes a cameo, Nathan, he choreographed it, choreographed that song for her TV show and danced with her when she opened for the Black Eyed Peas for 5 or 6 dates in Europe. And now he appears to be dating her. 🙂 Bennett is correct, though, Cheryl is very likely going to be a part of The X-Factor US and while the spring season of DWTS would be over before they start seriously working on that, I can’t see her doing it at this point. If she didn’t get the XF job, maybe, just to help launch her pop career here.
Vin, we posted that list tongue in cheek – I don’t think ANY of those people are realistic choices in the slightest. Tina Fey is on an NBC show – even if she were not huge, they wouldn’t ask her. NONE of the others are remotely likely – I would bet money on it.
Oh, Telewatcher – if you’re going to fib that you know some of the season 12 cast, at least pick contestants that are slightly believable 🙂 Courteney Cox just separated from her husband, who just checked himself into rehab – why the hell would she do DWTS during such a tumultuous time in her life? And while she’s already busy with Cougar Town? Ditto for Cheryl – too busy with other stuff, and perhaps not famous enough on American soil anyway. Tina – too big, too cerebral, and too busy with other more respectable (and lucrative!) projects. Vince – too big and too busy. Elle & Rob are maybes – but seriously? “Rob Lowe looks kinda like Zac Efron?” Was this article written by a 4th grader? Try “Zac Efron looks like Rob Lowe.” Rob was here first 😛
Of the two Al’s, I’d take Yankovic over Sharpton in a heartbeat. The former is just too funny!
LOL Courtney!!
Those are all pretty big names.. I would *love* to see (of those names) Courtney Cox, Cheryl Cole, and Rob Lowe on there but I don’t really see any of them happening. I’m starting to get pretty anxious about this seasons cast with some of the names that have been floating around. 🙂
Ooh, Yowzer! I forgot I’m talking with the Derek genius, Heidi! LOL. That is sooooo cool? He did all that? That’s so nice that he and Cheryl are dating. The chemistry in the video almost blew up my computer screen. She is drop dead beautiful btw. I think I have found my new crush! Hi Cheryl! Call me! 🙂
LOL Nathan! I love Cheryl too. Take a listen to all of her music on You Tube. It’s excellent. I’m surprised she hasn’t hit it big here yet. She’s a lot like Kylie Minogue in that way.
I know I’m off-board but I just learned that we finally will have our “dancing with the stars” here in France (entitled “danse avec les stars”), opening night on feb 12th. I’m so excited to watch it, it will be a substitute (probably a poor one but who knows?) while waiting for season 12 beginning. 🙂
Oh, that is so cool Miss Pompin! Have fun and keep us posted on it!!!
Vogue dear, it’s Miss PompOn not PompIn 😉 but thank you for the proposition even though I don’t think it will be very interesting for you as you don’t know the celebrities nor the pros. The judges you may know as one is judge in SYCD Canada and the other choregraph in SCD but that’s all.
SYTYCD of couse, not SYCD
