DWTS Season 14 Rumor: Extra’s Maria Menounos Dancing On Dancing With The Stars?
TMZ has learned of another new celebrity to dance on Dancing With The Stars. Extra’s Maria Menounos!! As always…note, nothing is official until Tuesday. For now, these are all rumors!!
TMZ has learned the identity of yet another of the contestants for the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars” … the super hot Maria Menounos.
What do you think if true? I like her. I can see her with any of the male pros.
I wouldn’t mind this rumour. I love this girl’s goofy laugh! I think she’d be fun. π
Yay, another great name! From today I think the rumors are really going to start!
now that’s one beautiful woman….perfect for Derek…she fits his criteria…for a great chemistry….on the dance floor..i mean… LOL
Wow, I didn’t see that one coming… I love her.
Sorry for second post… But I just googled her height. Maria is 5 foot 8 inches tall. With heels that makes her just right for Maks, Tony, or Tristan.
Sandy, I’m sure PureDWTS has a post in the works for comparing heights of the pros and the celebs to figure out who might match with who. π
Yep, I do that every season – AFTER the stars are announced. Although it sounds like they are doing the pros at the same time so maybe I should get started on it now and update with rumors as we go…
I’d loved her with Tristan or Maks! I’d love her with Derek except I think she’s too tall for him???
Shannon is 5’9″ and she danced with Derek. That said, I think Maria has Tony written all over her. Similar to Audrina or a younger version of Chynna.
Joanna was 5″7′, Shannon was 5″9′ ..no problem there…i have heard smth about Tony with a golfer…?
Oh, she’d be great with Derek! Very similar fun, corky personalities. Plus they’d look hot together. If she’s on, I’m hoping for a Maria & Derek pairing..
So far there’s been speculation about Maria, Annika Sorenstam (golfer), Melissa G., Sherri S. and Ali F. If true, I see Tony with Annika, Sherri with Val. Who is short enough for Mark? I think Melissa has asked for Derek ;( . What do you think for pairings? (I’m still holding out for Kelly R.! It could be the battle of the talk show hosts!))
i can see her partnered w any of the male pros but I have a feeling its Thristan.
Ooooh! Wild-assed guessing and speculation!!! Right in my wheel-house! (LOL!) π Just guessing, but for pairing –
Ali F./Tristan
Melissa/Mark
Maria/Derek (I know, boring)
Annika/Tony (put the golfers together)
Sherri/Val
Jack Wagner/Kym
Troy Aikman/Peta (REALLY wild-assed speculation here!)
Don’t know about the rest…
I like this rumor. She’s so beautiful!
I think it could be Tristan as well. She might not be high profile enough for Derek. He’s been requested the last 3 seasons, at least. Bummer though – she is gorg and I bet she can dance.
I remeber a lot of people saying that the jury was still out on Trstan’s chreography and this would be a great chance for him to prove himself to be a great choreographer like the others. As much as I liked Nancy she kinda limited him a little.
@Princess Heidi: She got some publicity after the super bowl becuase she had to wear a bikini of giants colors on live tv. Only reason I know is becuase i saw it on tv and she had a rocking body.
I like Maria. I bet she is going to be paired withTristan. Too bad because she comes off laid back and think she would be great for Derek. Finally one who can laugh at herself. She shared her poem for Jonathan Knight when she was part of the Nkotb reunion special on VH1. Any blockhead is cool. I want to see Derek with a younger celeb and while she is in her thirties, she is the youngest of the rumored names so far.
*Insert Choir of Angels*
Zach, back off!!! (Just thought I’d throw that out)
I have been waiting for this one for quite a while! I remember when Maria was on a little thing called Channel one News, it was a “news station” for middle schoolers and possibly elementary kids as well. Thought she was beautiful back then, and still do. But a Tony partner? The last time (excluding Audrina) I was really following a Tony girl was Marissa because she was just so flippin’ bubbly! Let’s hope Tony can work something with this girl, if indeed he is paired with her!
Unless of course she dances like Denise Richards, Vin. π People tend to forget that sometimes looks are deceiving. Would you have pegged Denise as a terrible dancer before the season started? How is she different than Brooke? It’s very interesting how quickly perceptions change. π
I wasn’t going to mention it, but I remember seeing and thinking that Maria was pretty spazzy (?) with some of the stuff they’ve had her try on Extra and ET. She’s game for anything but dance … I’m just not sure.
I like Maria well enough and could see her doing well on the show. Think she’d pair well with Maks but I think whoever got her would luck out.
I figured Denise was going to be stiff like Shannon. But never as awkward or that nervousness.
@Princess Heidi: I remember when Denise was revealed to be aprt of the cast on GMA and Maks walked out to greet her I figured she would be ok but the fact she couldn’t really let loose and joke around with him then told me she was one of those quiet ceelbs that don’t last long on the show lol. I honestly ddin’t know who brooke was before dwts (at the time the only model i was interestred in was heidi klum and maybe giselle b lol)
On a side note, I have a feeling that this saeasons cast isn’t going to be mindblowing but I think its definately going to be better than alst season. Saying that, am I the only one who is glad not to hear the word Kardashain this season? π I like the prospect of having not seeing them in the audience this season already π
I remember Maria did a few interviews with Mark & Bristol (S11) and she did say something to the effect that she’d like to dance……She’s too tall for Mark though.
[…] Maria Menudos – This one isn’t quite as solid as the others, and so far TMZ has no back up. Β But I sure would like this one to be true. Β Maria herself is giving nothing away. She’s following no pros, she’s making no teasing comments (that I’ve seen, anyway). Β If I had a vote I would vote yes. […]
vin,
I think that’s really inappropriate for you to mention Maria in a swimsuit and not provide a link. So, I’ll remedy that situation: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/06/maria-menounos-strips-down-after-losing-super-bowl-bet_n_1258318.html
LOLLLL^^
Tony tweeted Annika saying ” jokingly? ” he is gonna put her name forward to a casting director. Would he say that if she IS his partner?? I dont know what to think but If I had to say I doubt she’s dancing, but probably is a possibiblity for future seasons.

You forget Hope Solo so soon, Zach?? π
Yeah but he just tweeted it on the 23rd, and while Tony is awesome, since when does he have the kinda pull to request partners?? π
Plus if Tony is trying to mimick Maks after how well last season went for him after he picked his partner – kidding – he’s an idiot. π
Maria on the Oscar Red Carpet tonight. Gorgeous!

And I have to add she’s one of the most stunning of the night. She’s got my vote for having one of the best gowns.
WOW! That’s one stunning gown! Better than many of the Big Stars.
Couldn’t agree more!!
I do hope she’s doing DWTS. She’s so naturally pretty and has that great laugh when she gets going. *crossing fingers*
Same here Evaine. I love her!!
Plus, I was just thinking how it will be fun to watch Nathan and Zach fight over her all season. lol
LOL Vogue. Reason enough to wish her to be on, as nathan & zach are quite funny. I don’t know much about her, but she is very pretty and have her down partnered with Tristan (in my private cast listing). From what I’ve read here, she seems to be grounded in the real world and ready to give anything a whirl. I hope she’s on.
here’s what I think, based on all the wonderful posts I’ve read here and a little mojo based on 13 seasons of fandom … at least my thoughts right this second, subject to review at any whim π
Melissa & Derek
Sheri & Val
Maria & Tristan
Annika & Tony
Paula Dean & Mark
Jack & Cheryl
Vince & Peta
Darnell & Chelsie
Gavin & Karina
Dick & Kym
Anna & Pee Wee
is it freakin’ tuesday yet LOL. thankfully i’m a one girl show at the office, so i’ll be able to check in here frequently for up to the minute news come reveal day π
Excellent. Loves your list!!! π
Well, the Tristan fans want her with him. If that happens, I guess that will be my pairing to hate for the season.
I just know that I’m preparing myself for Derek to be paired with either Melissa Gilbert or Sherri Shepherd. Either way, I won’t be happy.
I really think Val is getting Sherri. She would ask for him and she’s been a Dance with Me, soooo….I do think that Derek is getting Melissa. But I’m notoriously bad at picking the pairings.
Wasn’t Melissa seen at rehearsels when Derek was out of town with his partner?? Or am I delusional? π I ‘m wondering if Tristan gets Melissa and Tony gets Maria because so far, at 5’8. Maria is by far the tallest lady. Dont get me wrong Melissa is a LEGEND but Derek usally get asked for and If could guess I wouldn’t say Melissa was that badly wanted, BUT I could be very wrong. If could guess/hope I’d say pairings are like this. π
Sherri/Val
Maria/Tony
Paula/Mark ” LOL ”
???/Derek
Melissa/Tristan
???/Maks
Jack/Kym
Vince or Dallas Cowboys player/Peta
???/Karina
???Chelsie
Bruce/Cheryl
Gavin/Anna
Yes, Derek was out of town when Melissa was practising, although there’s no way of telling if he practised, left for the night and then came back. Whatever, I hope he doesn’t get Melissa!
Thanks for all the info, ladies! PDWTS sure doubles the fun of watching the show!
LOL Zach to your Mark pairing. I’m with you and Heidi and others too that Sherri will dance with Val.
Meggie, thanks and ditto to all of you doubling the fun of watching the show!! π xx
Haha…Paula Dean and Mark! WE know she said “no” on “ExTRA”, but Perez Hilton has been begging and I think he should have a chance to dance with Mark….
Paula didn’t say ” No “. I don’t thinl she’s said anything.
Oh I see what you mean Sherri, but that was 2 years ago. Maybe she changed her tune?
Derek out of town with a partner?? What? Yes, Zach, you may be delusional. π Derek’s been to Hawaii for Live with Kelly, but that’s all I’m aware of.
Melissa, I think Derek was back from Hawaii before Melissa started practicing. I could be wrong, but I would have to check, which I don’t actually have time for. I am pretty darn sure that Melissa started practicing before Maks even got to LA.
