DWTS 13 Cast Rumor: Former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner In Talks To Do Dancing With The Stars?
Ok, so this has to be the most outrageous of all the rumored contenders yet. ๐ I so hope this is NOT TRUE!!! I would bet that it isn’t. Yes, Dancing With The Stars might want the ratings….but, would they want it connected with Anthony Weiner? I would hope not. This would be like having Bristol Palin all over again too and WORSE! More below from Lime Life.
Apparently sextually scandalized U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner is in talks with producers to show his moves…but really, haven’t we seen enough of this guy?
Remember when Anthony Weiner was busted earlier this year for sending lewd images of himself to a 21-year-old woman from Washington State? We saw him in tighty-whities, and we’re not really game to see him in spandex. What are Dancing with the Stars producers thinking?
They’re thinking ratings. When we heard they were going big with their casting this season, we thought they meant Snooki and Mike Tyson (who are both rumored to be in talks with casting directors for this fall’s season 13). But rumor has it Anthony Weiner is indeed in the midst of a deal to star on the ABC reality series. Insiders say the drawers — er, draw — is that figures related to politics (think Bristol Palin) bring in big viewership, especially when they’re known for being controversial.
UPDATE:: Extra talked with Anthony Weiner’s Rep today. Apparently, Weiner isn’t “hot” for Dancing With The Stars and isn’t interested in this kind of exposure. Shewwww…we can all take a sigh of relief now.
This is such a bad idea! I live in the bronx and I can honestly say that reception towards the man is mixed in NY (somep eople ddin’t care about his persoanli life while others really were appalled….Personally, I didn’t hated what he did but really hated the way he handled the scandal more). If this happens to be true though, I guess I’d pair him with Cheryl. But hopefull this is a bad rumor and doesn’t come into fruition.
I hated*
Oh, KEEERIST NO!! 25 different kinds of bad idea, this is. I don’t care about his personal life either, but he’s just… SKEEVY. Ick.
ICK is RIGHT! I think he’d bring the show down. I really hope this is NOT true like you two feel.
As much as I’m dying to see Maksim dance again, I won’t watch the show if this pervert is on the show. Sorry Maks!
I hope it isn’t true. I think they should leave political people out of the show.
I heard that he was taking time to concentrate on healing himself and his family. I don’t think a dancing show is in his plans. Thank God.
“Insiders say the drawers โ er, draw โ is that figures related to politics (think Bristol Palin) bring in big viewership, especially when theyโre known for being controversial.”
Dang it DWTS! Bristol was NOT entertaining. The Bristol debacle was FRUSTRATING and it killed a lot of credibility you ever had. I know I’ve said Reality Stars are becoming stars in their own right, but Politicians? They’re POLITICIANS NOT STARS.
But it goes to show you DWTS doesn’t give a fickle about what we want. All they want is ratings just like they got with Bristol. If that guy even thinks about signing the dotted line, oh boy, time will tell how much longer this show has.
Reference to a famous show, The sands are running out in the hourglass, DWTS. And it didn’t have to be this way. *SMH*
Let’s just hope this story was made up and they aren’t seriously considering him. One of my followers at twitter asked me which female dancer on the show would want to dance with him? I can’t imagine any of them wanting to be paired with him. I know I wouldn’t want to be. ๐ฏ
Eww….
Please, NO!!!
POST UPDATED with news from Weiner’s Rep!! He’s not interested in doing the show. Shewwww
Thank goodness he isn’t interested in doing the show!
