· Tom DeLay: A former Republican House Majority Leader who resigned after being indicted on campaign finance violations.

Not that impressed with this cast.

Meh. This is no where near as good as last season's cast.

I guess that Britain's Susan Boyle is going to be on DWTS so Sharon Osbourne decided that it was open season to trash her on the radio. Sharon has just gone down in so many levels to me over the years. I mean nobody knew who the fuck she was until The Osbournes. If she wants to talk about "hairy assholes" and "getting beat with an ugly stick" she needs to look no further then her own family.

Yeah no kidding. Sharon seems to have forgotten how she looked BEFORE her plastic surgeries.

good point...add to that she used to be very very overweight. Fuck her. I hope Susan Boyle gives her a right hook on DWTS tonight and then tells her that her husband is a brain dead rocker on drugs(isnt that what Megan Houser said that got Sharon the MISTRESS of Charm School to attack her?)

Brooke Burke named new 'Dancing With the Stars' co-host

March 8, 2010 | 9:12 am
TV personality and Season 7 champion Brooke Burke will report for duty alongside Tom Bergeron as the new co-host of “Dancing With the Stars” when Season 10 premieres on March 22, ABC has announced.

The news came this morning on the network’s “Good Morning America.” Burke, as many “DWTS” fans may recall, claimed the hit reality TV series' coveted Mirrorball trophy with her professional dance partner Derek Hough back in 2008. Now she has a chance to claim the backstage interviews as well.

Burke takes over the co-hosting gig from Samantha Harris, who stepped down from the show in January to focus on other gigs. And this mother of four is no stranger to hosting: Burke has hosted E!’s “Wild On!” series, “Rock Star: INXS” and, most recently, TV Land’s “She’s Got the Look.”

Other potential co-hosts rumored to be in the running included “DWTS” Season 8 contestant Melissa Rycroft and television host Vanessa Minnillo.







Sorry Colton, but THANK GOD Melissa Rycroft didnt get it...lol

Reality TV Mom Kate Gosselin's Attitude Roils 'Dancing With The Stars'

(New York Post) - Reality television mom Kate Gosselin was labeled as a "total diva" on the set of sensation "Dancing With the Stars" (DWTS), snubbing other contestants and behaving frostily to crew members according to show sources, the New York Post reported Monday.

The recently divorced mom of eight was rehearsing for the ABC show, which starts its new season in the U.S. on March 22.

Her icy behavior also persuaded Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir to pull out of talks about being on the show because he did not want to work alongside Gosselin.

A DWTS source said, "Kate doesn't want anything to do with other contestants ... While there's a lot of camaraderie among the crew and other stars including Pamela Anderson, Kate has set herself apart ... She wants to be queen bee."

Gosselin's representative did not get back to the New York Post with a response to the rumors.

However, another show source said, "She's been rehearsing in Pennsylvania to be near her kids. For the short time she was in LA, she and the cast got along great."

I could not agree more, I will NEVER understand why she is in the limelight at all. Up until her divorce from whatshisname, I never even knew who either of them were.

I actually enjoyed Jon & Kate Plus 8, in it's heyday but since everything went down w/ the divorce I'm WAY over it. I was really annoyed when I heard she was going to do DWTS. You know she's going to pimp out her kids and bring them to rehearsals, etc., to get votes.
