Only One Surprise Contestant in Dancing with the Stars 13

As I posted earlier @DWTSGossip would get most, if not all, of the new cast of DWTS.  Well they got one wrong - Carson Kressley (the Queer Eye guy).  Either he was a late replacement for Ryan O'Neal or Ryan was a red herring.


Anyway we have some interesting contestants!  Some I'm looking forward to seeing, and some not so much!


Women

  • Soccer player Hope Solo
  • Singer Chynna Phillips
  • Reality star Krisin Cavalleri
  • Model Elisabetta Canalis
  • Actress and talk show host Ricki Lake
  • CNN correspondent Nancy Grace
Men
  • Reality brother Rob Kardashian
  • Cher son Chaz Bono
  • Actor David Arquette
  • Reality star Carson Kressley
  • Actor J. R. Martinez
  • Basketball star Ron Artest (soon to be Metta World Peace)

DWTS 13 Cast Revealed Tonight!

Possible spoilers below

The once a year spike in viewership for "Bachelor Pad" occurs tonight when the cast of the next season of Dancing with the Stars is announced.

Normally it's revealed near the end so I don't think I'll watch the first half.  If I miss it I miss it.

If you believe @DWTSGossip you can see the cast now:

Women

  • Soccer player Hope Solo
  • Singer Chynna Phillips
  • Reality star Krisin Cavalleri
  • Model Elisabetta Canalis
  • Actress and talk show host Ricki Lake
  • CNN correspondent Nancy Grace
Men
  • Reality brother Rob Kardashian
  • Cher son Chaz Bono
  • Actor David Arquette
  • Actor Ryan O'Neal
  • Actor J. R. Martinez
  • Basketball star Ron Artest (soon to be Metta World Peace)
I normally put out my guesses the day of the reveal but given their track record the above are probably most, if not all, correct.  At least I don't have to watch all of Bachelor Pad!!

Dancing with the Stars Rumor Power Rankings


There are (as always!) lots of rumors as to who is on a new season of DWTS.  In fact, in some ways, it's the best part of the show!

They all get mixed together with wannabes complicating things, some stars negotiating for future seasons and, of course, the negotiations might not get anywhere.

I have found that at least 2 celebrities per season are the subject of rumors for previous seasons so there are probably discussions going on all the time.

This time the rumoprs seem to come in spurts and as we get closer they are coming out of the woodwork thick and fast.  So here are the "main" rumors I'm aware of with a ranking of how likely they may be.  I'm sure I've missed a lot out and I'm certain some of these are plain wrong!  If you know of any more, or disagree with the ranking let me know in the comments.

Almost certain

1. Hope Solo - as well as being the subject of rumors, Hope actually tweeted to Maks "What do I need to do for Sunday? Help!" and then deleted it minutes later.  One assumes she meant to DM him.

Strong Possibilities

2. Chaz Bono - the son of Cher and Sonny Bono is high in the tabloid rumor rankings.  He followed Karina Smirnoff and then unfollowed her.
3. Rob Kardashian - Rob has been a strong rumor for a while and without any denials looks to be set up for the show
4. Christina Milian - Christina has been rumored for a while and pulls very strange faces when asked about the show!
5. David Arquette - a late entrant, David is reported to have started rehearsal with Kym Johnson

Possibles

6. Candace Cameron Bure - Candace was a rumor for season 12 and seems to be playing it coy.
7. Chynna Phillips - the singer was rumored a while ago and has not denied anything.  She also tweeted that she would be spending some time in California.
8. Dinah Lohan - reported to have told people she was in discussions.  They could have fell through though.
9. Kristin Kavalari - the reality star from the Hills has been rumored for a while.
10. Elisabetta Canalis - The ex-girlfriend of George Clooney was mentioned too close to their break-up to my mind.  I'm not sure she's in.

Outside chances

11. Henry Winkler - Henry was a rumored contestant last year but when, in June, he said he would never go on the show we assumed he wouldn't.  However, a couple of tweets could mean otherwise.
12. Jenna Jameson - the ex-porn star is rumored to be appearing and follows some of the DWTS cast, but I can't believe ABC would want her on such a family show. (I sure she's a very nice person.)
13. Kelly Preston - Kelly was in the audience fior her friend Kirstie Alley and was rumored to have "auditioned".  Nothing has been heard since
14. Ryan O'Neal - a late entrant, Ryan was a rumor for season 11.  There are rumors again.
15. Donnie Wahlberg - after appearing in the "Guily Pleasures" week last season he seemed interested but nothing recently

(A lot of the information comes from PureDWTS.com and @DWTSGossip.  Thanks to them.)

So, who have I missed?

Clooney's Ex, Elisabetta Canalis on DWTS?

E! Online is reporting that George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, is set to appear in season 13.

Elizabetta is an Italian model but other than he relationship with George doesn't seem to have much to attract the US audience (apart from the obvious).

I'm not sure about this - it's a bit like the Brooke Mueller rumor from last season.

Less than two weeks until we find out the cast!

Queen Latifah Confirms She Won't Be On DWTS

Last week TMZ announced that Queen Latifah, Snooki and Tiffany Thiessen were appearing in season 13 of dancing with the Stars.

Tiffany replied almost immediately that she won't be on.  Today Queen Latifah tweeted her rebuttal:
No truth to the rumors of me doing Dancing With The Stars. Love the show though so I'll be watching just like you!
 Snooki hasn't officially said no, but early last week she did say "if asked" so I'm not sure she is true either.

Queen Latifah would have been great!

Only two weeks until we find out for sure!

Season 13 Celebrities to be Announced August 29th

Yeah, I'm late to the party but it was good to hear a date for the announcement of the celebrities in season 13 of DWTS.

Tom Bergeron tweeted that he and Brooke Burke will announce the show LIVE on Monday, August 29.

I assume that will be included in an episode of "Bachelor pad" which seems to be standard procedure now.

The season kicks off September 19th which only gives the couples three weeks to practice.  Plus the first results show is the 20th so the first celebrity will be gone in 22 days!
