DWTS Season 13 Rumors and Innuendo – Ryan O’Neal
So, apparently, Entertainment Tonight is saying that Ryan O’Neal has agreed to do the show. I have yet to see this for myself, as ET doesn’t air here until later, for some crazy reason. Ordinarily I would wait until I could get video from ET and post, but then I saw this tweet from a producer/journalist on Twitter and I gave up and decided to post it with the word “innuendo” tacked on just in case:
[blackbirdpie url=”http://twitter.com/#!/MoviesNews/status/106561133967708160″]
For those of you not in the know, Ryan is an Academy Award nominated actor (Love Story) and is what could be considered old Hollywood royalty. He was involved with Farrah Fawcett for many, many years, is the father of Tatum O’Neal, who was also on DWTS!!
OKAY! Timing is everything. They just said on ET that Ryan is going to be on the show. They qualified this by saying that DWTS producers won’t confirm, but this is what they hear. They also said he had knee surgery a few months ago.
Ryan today:
Ryan in Love Story
He looks great for his age. Can you believe he’s 70???? He is pretty good Hollywood star power too, atleast from his time.
ET is right. He had knee surgery just a few months ago after filming the reality show with Tatum (or was it before the show?). I watched their show and I loved how the two were able to come full circle from everything the two have been through, find forgiveness from how they both hurt each other, and move on.
Anyway, I know I may be in the minority, but, I’d be very open to him dancing if this news is true. Tatum once remarked during their show that he can dance too.
I only know him as farrah Fawcett’s husband/boyfriend, his show with Tatum, and for his work on Bones but def bring him on! Could be fun to watch but I just hope that he isn’t as insensitive as he seems on his how with Tatum (I watched one episode and he was making jokes about Taum’s sobriety that really hurt/angered her greatly….it was kinda sad too since they were doing good right up to that).
I bet this is true. The timing is right for him now as he is back in the limelight. I’d love to see him on the show, and I bet he’d be great with Anna. That could explain why it took so long for Anna to know if she was back … just signing Ryan now.
I wonder if this was the reason for Anna over Chelsie
I’m still skeptical about this one. He was a last-minute rumor back before season 11 and nothing ever materialized. Granted, sometimes it can take a few seasons before rumors come to fruition, but idk…he just doesn’t seem like the type that would jump at the chance to do DWTS…especially if he just had knee surgery.
Yeah, I think IF Ryan is going to be on, Anna will be his partner since this appears to be last minute. They’d rather pair him with Anna than Chelsie.
If I was his manager, I would tell him NOT TO DO THIS. He was TOO big a star to even consider this……yes, even now….and I don’t think he will be able to take the criticism. At his age, even though he still looks great
Wow, the more I think about it….THIS is simply NOT the way for him to wrap up his “career”. This guy was a real STAR!!!!!! If they get him, this is quite a catch. I just don’t want to see him self-destruct at this age.
He did a reality show with his daughter which didn’t show either one of them in a very good light. DWTS would be a step-up from that in my opinion!
So…ha I got in trouble last time I said confirmed and point taken…but the heavily rumored list:
1. Rob Kardashian
2. Chaz Bono
3. Ryan O’Neal (possible partner: Anna)
4. Christina Milian
5. Chyna Phillips
6. Kirsten Cavallari
7. Hope Solo (possible partner: Maksim)
8. Elisabetta Canalis
9. Snooki? (is this a solid no at this point or is she still a possibility?)
I’m hoping for a Jonas Brother as one of the 3 remaining male celebrities. What do y’all think?
Anna:
I think many of these are more yes than no. Hopefully Heidi and Vogue or Courtney (Are the three of you guys paying attention!, I know you all are). Since today is the day the pros meet their partners officially, maybe we’ll get some inside scoop, maybe they will be seen going into the studio, who knows! Anyway you guys are great at getting information! Hopefully we’ll hear something solid today!
@Margaret – Correction: SOME of the pros are meeting their partners today. Today is the first day they could meet their partners, but from what we’ve heard, only 4 are today – Kym, Tristan, Mark, & Karina are all supposed to meet up with their celebs today. So since Heidi, Vogue, & myself aren’t able to keep tabs on Twitter at all times – I would suggest keeping an eye on those pros especially to see if they start following anyone interesting 😉 The rest of the pros are meeting their partners tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and possibly Monday, depending on their celebs’ schedules. And one other interesting tidbit: we’re told Tristan had to fly to Atlanta to meet his partner. Allegedly, the celebs all have hard-to-deciper code names at this point, so even those close to the show don’t know who they are until after the cast announcement. TPTB have gotten awfully smart, I’ll give them that 😉
TPTB must have recently hired someone from the CIA LOL. code names? too funny. and maybe the subject of future posts: trying to come up with code names for the celebs.
the fact that TPTB had to come up with this clever strategy only goes to show the prowess of our team of expert DWTS watchers – Heidi, Vogue, Court, John, Lori, etc (who am I forgetting?) should all take this development as high praise 🙂
Awww, thanks Linde!!! 😉
Maybe its a coincidence, Tatum O’neal is following Jennifer Grey on twitter! Could it be because of dad?
Eh, I doubt it goes that deep – gotta remember, Tatum did DWTS too, so she may be following Jen for that reason. Plus Tatum & Jennifer are Hollywood contemporaries – they’ve probably been running in the same circles since they were young.
The Muppets really are maturing, Courtney…Our little TPTB are all grown up…* wipes tears * 🙂 So if Tristan had to go to Atlanta I wonder who his partner could be? I know a lot of BIG names have homes there per my uncle who lives there ” like Beyonce, Elton John, Latoya Jackson, Ludacris, etc ” and why am I thinking Mary J Blige has a house there too? Idk i could be mistaken thats VERY far fetched but i know she was rumored a while back, I doubt any of them other ppl will do it HIGHLY, except for Latoya maybe. Getting excited though!! 😀
Yea, Courtney there are just so many TV stations and celebrities that live around ATL it’s hard to tell. Also CNN and The Weather Channel are out of ATL but i doubt anyone off those two stations would do the show even though i’d love to see Stephanie Abrams! Good guesses though, Courtney, we’ll know Monday! Karina just tweeted she just landed in Toronto, Canada but will be there for less than 24 hours im guessing for meeting her partner? – sigh – ill have alot of time today to look at rumors and stuff, I have an injury so ill be on my butt most of the day. 🙁
Just because we found out some of the code names this season does NOT mean it’s a new thing. It’s NOT. Just sayin’. But thanks for the compliment anyway. 🙂
I loved the movie Love Story and I also named my son Ryan… awwww… 🙂
But seriously, these potential cast members are getting me all in an uproar, I am superexcited to hear about a possible Ryan and David…. woohoo!!
AnnaTMaksimFTW: Please NO to ANY Jonas brother… It will be Donny Osmond all over again. Too big fanbase. IMO it will be unfair to the other couples.
And personally I’ve had enough of them. Especially after Nick almost ruined my favorite musical last year.
I was trying to show someone the tweet from Tiffani Thiesen stating that she wasn’t doing DWTS and I couldn’t find it anywhere!! Maybe she changed her tune, who knows? DWTSgossip also said Tony is with Chynna when did that news come out? 🙂
@Zach
It’s still there just go under her official twitter and it’s up under Aug. 12
[…] candidates this season: Ryan O’Neal’s name has cropped up again suddenly, & Lee Meriwether is always in the […]
[…] Courtney at Pure DWTS shares that four of the dance pros are meeting their celebrity partners on Friday: Kym Johnson, Tristan MacManus, Mark Ballas and Karina Smirnoff. It sounds like the others will be meeting up between now and Monday. It will be a busy weekend of Dancing With the Stars scuttlebutt, so stay tuned. Apparently Tristan has to fly to Atlanta to meet his celebrity – any theories on who is based in Atlanta that wouldn’t be able to get away right now? One of the Real Housewives? Also, commenter Zach on Pure DWTS noted that Karina is in Toronto for 24 hours – meeting her partner perhaps? […]
