DWTS Rumors And Watchout: Cast Set And Celebrity Rumors??
Fashion Style posted a set of the pros set to return for Dancing With The Stars Season 21. They also write that Len Goodman has retired as a judge. Not only that, they post on celebrities interested in doing the show. Like @DWTSGossip posted at twitter, I agree how they never set the cast this early. I’d take this all with a grain of salt (even though I love who they mentioned for celebs). Heidi, what do you think? Scroll below to see her comment…
Pending any further commitments, the following pros are slated to return to the ballroom floor.
The male pro cast will include Derek Hough, Tony Dovolani, Mark Ballas, season 20 winner Val Chmerkovskiy, Artem Chigvinstev and Keo Motsepe.
For the females, reportedly returning will be Sharna Burgess, Witney Carson, Allison Holker, Emma Slater and Peta Murgatroyd.
Uncertain as to their return is Kym Johnson, who is currently in a relationship with former partner and “Shark Tank” star Robert Herjavec.
Also returning to the judge’s table are Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough and Bruno Tognoli. Len Goodman has retired from the United States version of the series, but will remain in the U.K. to judge “Strictly Come Dancing.”
There has also been a report that several celebrities are interested in appearing on the show, including singer Ricky Martin, “Brady Bunch” star Maureen McCormick, “Glee” star Chris Colfer, model Christie Brinkley, actress Marilu Henner, singer Nick Lachey (who’s brother Drew Lachey won season 2) and actress Heather Locklear.

Heidi: Total BS. Like “Fashion Style” is going to have clue before any other outlet. Derek doesn’t even know if he’s back yet and he said so as recently as a week ago. I thought I heard Kym was going back to Oz as a Judge. As for who they claim is interested?? Also BS with the possible exception of Heather Locklear, Christie and Marilu (which they probably got from us). As for Len, there was just a more reliable source that quoted TPTB saying not to count him out just yet.
I don’t believe this article at all. But i’d LOVE, LOVE to see Ricky Martin on DWTS! He’s a very big name…also a sexy looker! Rob Wade, please get him on! 🙂
This seems like a whole lot of speculation being pawned off as fact. If a few things turn out to be true, it will be just dumb luck.
I think Len had the perfect farewell moment with Nastia. So I hope he’s smart enough to take the gift Derek gave him and go out on a high note. Even if that’s not the case, I have my fingers crossed that he won’t be judging S21. Len is always at his worst on DWTS in the Fall. I get that jetting across the pond every week for 10 weeks doing both SCD and DWTS is exhausting and at his age it’s gotten too much for him, but he takes his jet-lag out on the couples, and I can’t accept that.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like the list they just gave of celebs is actually pretty good? I think Ricky has the voice Australia at the same time of the fall season (could be wrong) but the rest would be cool. Would love to see Hearher locklear on the show the most though.
I agree, Vin. I love the list they mention.
You need to understand the difference between a “good” list and a list that has a snowball’s chance in hell of happening. Sure, it may be a good list – but Ricky Martin?? Get real. They are dreaming and looking for hits.
Worst thing is , that pro list will probably turn out to be correct if Derek stays on and Fashion Style will come out boasting that they knew all along when in actual fact, they just took a logical guess.
If this was August, I might think twice. Like PHeidi said, they are just dreaming and looking for hits.
What Heidi said!
Would like to see the odds on Carli Lloyd being on DWTS next season as the sports star. Bound to happen now, if not her another member of the winning squad. But surely they’ll go all out to get Lloyd.
Carli would be awesome! She was amazing in that match last night.
Ricky Martin as a *competitor* on DWTS would be epic, but people who aren’t famous or don’t play baseball of any level (not that the latter matters, but) have better chances as usual.
Huh?
I would absolutely love for Chris Colfer to be on!!!! I loved it when Amber was on. If he was on I think he should be patterned with maybe Sharna or maybe Witney!
