Louis Vam Amstel Says Pros Find Out If They Dance On Dancing With The Stars August 22nd
Louis was a guest on KTLA this morning. Like on The Talk, he talked of LaBlast and praised Kelly Osbourne. He also promotes his LaBlast convention in Los Angeles this upcoming weekend. He also talks a little on Dancing With The Stars. He mentions the pros will find out if they dance on the show on August 22nd. Then they find out who they are partnered with on August 29th like the rest of us. More below…
I’m glad one of the pros said when they find out becuase I could only imagine how they react to rumors that pop up every season. I would be really interested in how they reacted to the rumors this season in particular since they were a mixed bag with some being great ideas (Christina Milian, Lee Meritweather (really hope she is on this season), etc) and the ones that were just plain terrible (Anthony Weiner, Dina Lohan, etc).
Also, I was watching Cake Boss today and saw Cheryl in the comercial for What Not to Wear so I looked up why. http://www.examiner.com/cable-tv-in-national/cheryl-burke-and-jenny-mccarthy-to-appear-season-premiere-of-what-not-to-wear Sounds like TLC wants to capitalize on her fame and wants to draw in the DWTS viewers. I’ve watched the show once of twice and its actually not half bad.
Great interview, can’t wait to see if my faves are on DWTS!
I so hope Derek will be on this season!
I had to LOL a bit last night when an NKOTB friend tweeted a link to this supposed “leaked cast list” for DWTS. Two things stick out – one, they don’t even have the correct season listed (they say season 12); two, they basically regurgitated every single rumor we’ve reported on since season 12 wrapped. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, I guess 😉
LOL, Courtney! The sad part is I actually LIKE that cast. Wonder where they got Khloe Odom from? Yall reported on Rob but not her. 😛
Wow, Queen Latifah. Is this the first time that her name as came up? Actually my head is spinning with all these names coming up…. LOL
The website is an Austrailian one, so I’m guessing the message may have gotten garbled somewhere down the line and they maybe got their Kardashians mixed up – hence, Khloe instead of Rob. Same with Queen Latifah – we reported that an Atlanta radio station saying that Tyler Perry & Mary J. Blige were confirmed for season 13, and I know I sometimes mix up Mary J. & Queen, so I’m thinking the same may have happened here. Either that, or they’re throwing in a few different names in order to avoid the appearance of being complete parrots and repeating us verbatim 🙂
This list seems like a list of rumors that were just circulating on line. I do not think it is credible. Donnie might surprise me but I doubt even with the little he sleeps that he would do the show. Also why would abc put on an actor currently working on a CBS show? Or even CBS let it happen?
I think we said at the very beginning of the Donnie rumor that it was near impossible that he would actually do the show – but that doesn’t mean people can’t wish and hope it. 🙂 DWTS has never (to the best of my recollection) EVER had a person who is currently working for another of the big 4 networks on DWTS. Since he IS currently on a hit CBS show, the chances of him are nil.
But you guys gotta recognize sometimes that a girl’s gotta dream and lighten up a bit. 🙂 This is supposed to be FUN.
I posted the list in jest, because I find most of the names on it to fall somewhere between “when hell freezes over” & “maybe if they’re reeeeeally desperate” on the scale of how likely they are to do DWTS. But I don’t think I’ll ever stop hoping for Donnie to do the show – and who knows, maybe someday he will. They may not have ever had a star from a rival big 4 network on DWTS, but the fact that they entertained the ridiculous notion of having Pia Toscano as a musical guest at least indicates that they might be willing to bend the rules a tiny bit, if it suits their interests.
Heidi:
I think that the Regis Philbin rumor is only that as well. Do you think there is any truth to any of those names at all? This is supposed to be fun, I am all for it.
I think the Melissa Gilbert one may just be true for some reason.
That cast would be the best cast if that ever happened…..Queen Latifah would be fun. I honestly think that the upcoming season is going to be full of surprise cast members. Persoanlly, I really think Lee Merriweather, Christina Milian, and Rob Kardashian are gonig to be on this season though (I would say Regis as well but I still think thats wishful thinking on the show’s part….Regis seems to want to get out of the limelight it seems and spend time with his kids/wife/grandkids which I think is adorable and shows that he is a normal like the rest of us). The only reason I say Lee Merriweather is becasue she has been dying to get on and I think this is a Florence Hnenderson case again where they made her wait awhile and I think this season is it for her.
As much as I love Regis. I am not sure what to think of him on DWTS. This show is so much about personality, and I fear some of our much better dancers will depart before him. As sometimes is the case. Does anyone know when he is finished with his own show, Regis and Kelly?
With this new somewhat rumored cast, I will have to start a list at home to keep things straight. However, the potential celebs are quite interesting and sounds like maybe a great lineup happening this season. With some surprises Im sure. I can’t wait!!
Actually, Margaret, Regis claims he was asked to do the show – remember he said he wanted Derek as his partner. I said this rumor stuff is supposed to be fun – as in don’t get so freakin’ serious about it. That doe NOT mean that none of the names are true or couldn’t possibly be true. My message was to LIGHTEN UP and quit taking everything so freakin’ literally.
The Christina Milian and Rob K ones are rather possible, especially with the video circling of CM just saying “no comment” in response to a DWTS question. 🙂 I think Vogues going to do a post on it. I’ll do it when I get home if she hasn’t done it already.
All I can say about Christina Milian is she better be apired with Derek and not Mark or Louis since she is more suited for those three heightwise (am I right on that….idk since I’m judging based on pictures lol) I just have a feeling its going to be Rob K with Lacey or Cheryl.
Christina Milian is 5’2, so she could very well end up with Mark or Louis. She’s 29, so I would suspect Mark, but you never know. Don’t think she has dance experience, but she has done a cheerleading movie so she must be able to move at least a little.
I dunno, Michelle, they put Lil’ Kim with Derek and she was shorter than 5’2″. I guess we’ll see. I kinda suspect she has Derek simply because she’s been rumored for a while and Derek’s been somewhat confirmed for just as long or longer. Mark, OTOH, is not confirmed yet.
We’ll see. I think all fans of pros should take who they get and be greatful their favorite is on the show. Derek’s fans are, for the most part, just praying he’ll be there.
Christina did quite a bit of dancing during her music career, and earlier this year she actually guest starred on an episode of CSI where she played a dancer/murder suspect – check out this clip of her big dance scene. Kherington Payne & Lauren Gottlieb from SYTYCD are grooving somewhere in the background. Overall, Christina’s not too shabby. Especially when you consider that she had had a baby less than a year before that episode was filmed. I’d say she probably falls somewhere between a Brandy & a Mya on the ringer scale – but I’m sure there will be cries of outrage if she’s *gasp* paired with Derek – in which case, she may as well be the next coming of Nicole 🙂 But if she’s with Louis or Mark – oh noooo, she’s not a ringer. Not at all. Ahhh…double standards.
Girl, don’t even get me started on the double standard ringer crap. If Mark gets her, he’ll far surpass Derek on the ringer scale – hell, he already does. Yes, I am working on a post that addresses this. 🙂
Okay, I have waaaaay too much time of my hands right now!!! I made a list of rumored celebs heights, some variations on google, but it helps me to see possible pairings.
Snooki 4’9
Candace 5’2
Queen Latifah? 5’10
Melissa Gilbert 5’4
Colleen Zenk (couldnt find)
Lee M. 5’9
Christina Milan 5’2
Ashley Hebert 5’2 -5’4
Dina Lohan (ranging from 5’8 to 5’11) (didnt know she was so tall)
Antonio 6’1
Rob K.. 5’11
Regis 5’7
Mike Tyson 6’0
Donnie W. 5’10
Nick Jonas 5’9
Shaq 7’1 (Who would dance with him)????
Dont know if this helps anyone but it has helped me…. maybe envisioning possible pairings.
Wow, Dina Lohan is 5’8″ to 5’11”????? I guess you learn something new every day….. I had NO IDEA hemorrhoids could actually get that large! 😀 😀 Actually, I knew they could get as big as… well, BRUNO, but no bigger… HA!
@Sally – Actually in looking around now, some sites say Dina is 5’4, and some say up to 5’11. So her height is in question….
Sandy, we do all this for you once the celebs are announced – don’t work so hard!! 🙂
I’m starting to believe the Christina and Ashley rumors.
Ashley Hebert? Really, Heidi??? *facepalm* Don’t want! DO NOT WANT!
(You know, I’d much rather see Michele Money on DWTS if they have to go for a Bachelor/ette connection. I thought she was insane during The Bachelor, but seeing her do online stuff and now in the Bachelor Pad, she’s a bit of a hoot.)
LOL Evaine!!
I’m tending to believe these rumors the most:
Christina
Rob K
Evelyn Lozada
and (I just can’t imagine DWTS ignoring these two again);
Colleen Zenk
Lee Meriwether
You know, there was that rumour about Candace Cameron Buré, right? But what if it wasn’t actually about her, but about her HUSBAND??? I mean… Valeri did Battle of the Blades and won the thing, so, why not? I’d LOVE to see a hockey player as the athlete for a change. 🙂
@Vogue – Sounds like a great a ‘Fab 5’ to me…
@Evaine – I hope Ashley is a rumor. That whole charade with Bedhead Bentley was over the top, I couldn’t take much more of her after that. And doesnt she have a new man to focus on? You know everyone goes on The Bachelor to find love, not fame!!! Of course…
