DWTS Season 16 Rumors: Victor Ortiz, Emily Maynard, Kourtney Kardashian, and Mama June?
Not sure how true this is, but, today, the New York Daily News is reporting in their “Confidential” gossip column that boxer Victor Ortiz has been signed to do Dancing With The Stars Season 16. Their insider also said ABC is interested in Emily Maynard, Kourtney Kardashian and Honey Boo Boo’s mother, Mama June. More below….
Ortiz is ready to rumba
Boxer Victor Ortiz is going from seeing stars to dancing with them. Sources tells us the 26-year-old fighter who was knocked out when he dropped his guard against Floyd Mayweather in 2011 has signed on for the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars.” Our insider also says that ABC is interested in adding Emily Maynard, Kourtney Kardashian and Honey Boo Boo’s recently slimmed down mother, Mama June, to the new cast.
What do you think? I don’t mind Victor or Emily, but, please NO to Kourtney or Honey Boo Boo’s mother!! How is she a star?
Let’s get Miss Heidi’s perspective and be sure to let us know your thoughts too.
Heidi: Sounds to me like Victor is the only real rumor in this bunch and the rest are just an after thought. In fact, Victor might be the first actual rumor of the season. Everything prior to this has been campaigns and wishful thinking on the part of some “stars”. As for the other names? I think the Daily News just threw those in there to round out their article. I think they heard ONE name and asked for some other speculation of their source. BTW, I thought we had rumored this guy before…but that was Tito Ortiz of the UFC. I’ve had enough of the Kardashians to last a lifetime and Honey Boo Boo’s mom?? Heaven help us, the dumbing down of America continues. That goes for all the K women too, actually.
LOVE KOURTNEY IN DWTS … XOXOX
I think this is now the second time I’ve seen Victor’s name – so he’s becoming likely. I actually wouldn’t mind Kourtney, but then again, I’d rather no reality stars than her. As for Mama June – why? Oh why? She’d make Master P look like Gilles Marini.
Please, NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE people!!! Although some of them seem like really nice people, just so tired of this group.
I wouldn’t be suprised if ryan loche (olympic swimmer) is on next season since he showed such a interest in the show, olympic athlete, he would be a good catch.Not to mention the first male swimmer, natalie couglin being the first female.
I should say…I think Victor is the first (and only) rumor I’ve heard for this season that I think has a real shot of being true. Just the wording…and the timing. Source to the NY Daily News on the same day as the press release regarding cast announcement?? Yeah…coincidence my ass. 😀
I thought there was something you guys reported on earlier in the off-season about Victor’s chances of being on the show being slim to none? Or did I just make that up? lol
Ignore my comment. I thought of Victor Cruz… My bad.
I searched the site, Tony, and only Tito Ortiz showed up. Not Victor.
Oh. I thought something was said about Victor Cruz too. I guess I’m just delusional.
I have to admit – reading this list made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. 😯 This, plus all 3 of the Stooges back (per the press release), plus being down my 2 favorite pros… Dark days. 🙁
If you’re delusional, then I am too – that’s why I searched the site. 🙂 But I couldn’t find anything.
Ya’ll are going to hate me but I actually like the Idea of Mama June and Kourtney.:P It sure not gonna hurt the ratings; esspecialy after last season definitely was hurting without the more polarizling celebs and Mama June is actually hillariously funny plus I think Kourtney is the most tolerable of the K sisters. OFCOURSE these are all just rumors and i’m not getting my hopes up or down though. Tito Ortiz i’m also fine with and I dont dislike Emily Maynard but i’m not interested in seeing her dance.
No to June. Yes to the boxer. Yes to Kourtney…..just to see if she is a Kim or a Rob dancer. Emily…….if we must.
And I hope Tito and some kind of Olympian(Lochte, Phelps, whoever) are in the cast as well.
Ment Victor Ortiz.
OMG! If ABC pushes that gawd awful Emily Maynard on my TV again, I just may have break the damn thing.
Please, Please, I’ll be a good girl, I promise, Just NO Bachelorettes, No Kardashians, and NO BOO BOO’s! Thank you.
I love reality stars but I’m tired of them always having bachelor/ette people on the show. bleh @ emily maaynard.
The Kourtney rumor is probably fake but I would love if it was true cause I’ve always liked her and she would probably actually end up being really good.
MAMA JUNE! God I reallly hope that one’s true. She would be soo much fun to watch.
i would love to see brad garrett on dwts season 16 he’s so tall and so sexy
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE NO PUKE KARDASHIANS!!!!
Noooooooooo to Mama June! She is not a star by any definition of the word. She’s living through her daughter who is not a star either. I don’t want to see that. I’m tired of the Kardashians also, but Kourtney is the most tolerable of the group. However, you hear how she is such a dedicated mother and that she can’t stand being away from her kids that I don’t think she would do it. The time committment she would have to give wouldn’t be acceptable. Unless she said here’s my schedule, this is what I’m willing to do. And then she’ll be off early because without rehearsing, you don’t improve. And I agree with all the others on the bachelorette. No more! You’ve had your five minutes of fame, go away. But it is the ABC show that fills in for DWTS so I can see it happening.
Eric, let me get this straight…you say no to Emily Maynard but yes to Kourtney and Mama June?? Ummm…are we playing a backwards game? 😀 Because of the three, Emily is by FAR the least…ICK.
Seriously though – if all three of those “rumors” are correct, DWTS will have reached a new low in casting. THREE reality people?? I don’t think so. If I’m wrong, then this show has a lot more problems than just manipulating the outcome and funky judging.
Emily, of everyone in the Kardashians, I think Kourtney is the one I dislike the most. I never thought it would be possible to feel sorry for any of that bunch until I caught a couple episodes and saw how she treats everyone around her, especially Scott.
But they’re all a bunch of fame whores (Mom being the worst) and we don’t need to see any more of them on our TV.
Oh good god, please never get Kris on DWTS, ABC!
I think Khloe is my favorite Kardashian, and while I doubt we’ll see her on DWTS if she carries on with FOX and The X Factor, she’s the most tolerable. It’s Kim I can’t stand the most of the sisters, I’d say..
If we get 11 great names and Mama June, I might just be able to take it. But I think those three names have been thrown in as a mix of previous rumors (Emily) and controversy (Mama June). Victor sounds plausible.
I don’t think Mama June would do it because of her “Forklift Foot”. I was watching reruns of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo on Sunday and caught the episode that showed her deformed foot that was run over by a forklift when she worked in a factory. Her feet wouldn’t be able to handle ballroom dancing. I also suspect her weight would work against her as well.
I’d rather see Khloe or Kendall on DWTS before Kourtney. She’s mean and rude to everyone, agree with Heidi on that aspect. Although it WOULD be fun to see her paired with Maks! Lol!! let him unleash his nastiness on her and see what kind of fireworks we get! I think she’d be a better dancer than Kim.
Emily is one of the most fame-obsessed people in the world. I would much rather see someone like June, who would probably only do this cause she thinks it’d be fun, than Emily, who would only be there for the attention.
Er, if you have a reality TV show about your life, you are, by definition, fame obsessed. Mama June is no better than Emily.
None of the rumored cast looks appealing. I’ll be watching the Voice.
I don’t consider these people stars, they are basically annoying and I have better things to do on a Monday night.
@tweetiepie, funny that you’d mention The Voice. With that show as competition for DWTS, you would think TPTB would be moving heaven and earth to make this show the best it ever could be and taking into consideration the suggestions that have come from this board. I guess we’ll see what they’ve decided to do, but I’m with you. If they haven’t made some very effective changes, it’s easy enough to change the channel and The Voice give me nothing to complain about.
No! NO KARDASHIANS!!! UGHHHHHH I hate everything.
Ugh! Krap-dashians. For me, they’re all the same. Rotten eggs vs. sour milk? At the end of the day, there’s no difference; it’s all spoiled garbage.
I’m holding out hope for the boxer even though I have no clue who he is.
If Season 16 has more than a couple “reality stars” or “people who are famous because they’re related to someone who’s in the tabloids”, my TV watching time will drop to zero (since DWTS is the only time I turn on the TV).
Coming from someone who watches Honey Boo Boo, there is no way Mama June would do it. I mean if she wont even take her sock off to show her “jacked-up toe”, do you really think she would wear open toe heels? If there were any reality show moms to do DWTS, it should be Miss Kay from Duck Dynasty!
A “Forklift” foot? Wow, I’ve never heard of that before?
Vogue, she said when she was a teenager a fork lift actually ran over her foot. Bummer. 😛
Sad! Thanks for letting me know.
Please no Kourtney or Mama June. That would not help the show.
Did to see the full story on New York Daily News? They had this video attched with Victor Ortiz in it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIrQCN-OTDM The video is somewhat funny, but this Facelube stuff looks legit! Anyone know where to get it?
definitely a big YES from me for Victor; lukewarm at best for Emily; please, lord help us, no more Kardashians; and WTF, who is Mama June and in what way does she even remotely qualify for anything on TV? Mama June would certainly be the low point in DWTS history and may well be the straw on the camel’s back. Let’s hope it’s only a rumor – someone’s idea of a (cruel) joke.
Has anyone mentioned Aly Raisman yet?? Val is following her ( I don’t know if it is arecent follow) and one of her friends tweeted to ask her if she is practicing her dance moves. Sounds interesting… at least we know she has great potential over lets say a ..Momma June
Actually…nevermind that last post, I read the tweets totally wrong… moving along…
Actually, we were discussing Aly Raisman behind the scenes here. Twitter chatter, we think.

Thoughts?
I believe her camp already shot that one down as ridiculous, Vin.
I was hoping it was true since she would be awesome. Anyways, thanks for the information 🙂 . I cannot wait until the cast announcement.
Yes, I would love to see June Shannon on DWTS. She would bring laughs, and she will lose more weight.
A lot of people don’t think June Shannon is a star but, she has her own show on TV. It might be a reality show but, she is still a reality star.
