Perez Hilton Says Joey Lawrence and “A Lot of Personalities Who Have Done DWTS” Are On Celebrity Big Brother Season 2
I got so wrapped up in former DWTS celebrities doing The Masked Singer that I spaced that Celebrity Big Brother season 2 is kicking off soon…and apparently that show is also borrowing from the former DWTS contestant casting pool, per Perez Hilton:
Sources tell us that Joey Lawrence is “definitely” doing it. And he has not been on any of the spoiler lists thus far.
Joining Joey in the Celebrity Big Brother house will be a lot of personalities who have previously done Dancing With the Stars on ABC.
Given that five of the eleven celebs on CBB season 1 were DWTS alums, it’s not surprising that CBB has dipped into the DWTS pond again – especially since Deena Katz (DWTS casting director) is apparently doing casting for CBB now, too. So begins the speculation – who was on DWTS that isn’t currently up to anything and maybe might need the money/exposure? Ochocinco? Aaron Carter? T.O.? Kate Gosselin? Let’s hear your guesses…
Last year 5 out of the 11 had done DWTS. Aaron Carter and Terrell both seem like the types Big Brother would want, especially since they could both bring the drama if provoked. I’ve seen Tonya Harding’s name show up on what I believe is likely a fake list, but she’s been on some wish lists as well. Maybe Charo, Erika Jayne, Lisa Vanderpump (these celeb reality shows love the Housewives), Carson Kressley, Kelly or Jack Osbourne, Joey Fatone.
I would love to see Carson and Charo and Joey (Lawrence AND Fatone) all on one season lol
It looks like half the houseguests are dwts alums. According to the big brother Instagram, Joey Lawrence, Lolo Jones, Jonathan Bennett, Ryan Lochte, and Tamar Braxton are joining.
I actually forgot Lolo and Jonathan were on DWTS. I am excited for Jonathan, though, as well as Joey. There wasn’t really anyone else in the cast I cared for yet-I can’t tell whether this will be a drama filled trainwreck or something really boring. I had heard a couple of people dropped out last minute due to something about pay, so I’m wondering who the replacements were (one guess would be Kato).
