UPDATE: Drew Lachey New ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Co-Host
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
To fill the beautiful sidekick role left open by Samantha Harris, the Dancing With The Stars producers turned to….Drew Lachey. The Season 2 winner—and scheduled host of the DWTS spin-off ‘Dance War’—will help make Tom Bergeron look good until Harris’ return (assuming she doesn’t enjoy her maternity leave too much).
As for the competition, tonight’s episode was all about the ladies. (The male contestants will take the stage Tuesday night). Except for the stick-thin yet uncoordinated model Josie Maran (who scored a dismal 16), the women overall did very well on their first time out. But the night was definitely owned by Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan. Her fierce and precise moves got her very near a perfect score on Day One (she scored a 26). Will this finally be the season for another female champion? We should probably size up the men tomorrow before placing any bets.

Surprise New Host for ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Tom Bergeron is going to be a busy man tonight. In addition to introducing a whole new round of competitors, he’ll be welcoming a new Dancing With The Stars co-host. Those who watched last season saw a very pregnant Samantha Harris do the backstage post-dance analysis. One has to wonder if she scheduled her delivery in time to watch the DWTS premiere today. Harris and her husband, Michael Hess, welcomed their own new addition yesterday morning. The baby girl, Josselyn Sydney Hess, is the couple’s first child.
As for who will be joining Tom on stage tonight—ABC will not say. They are doing their best to keep one casting selection a secret. (Please don’t let it be Lisa Rinna. I’m all Lisa Rinnaed-out right now). But for now, I will go ahead and predict Harris’ return next season—as a competitor. How else will she lose the baby weight?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Announcements,
The official lineup for ABC‘s Dancing With the Stars was announced this morning on Good Morning America. And despite the ‘leaked’ list you might have heard about this week, here is the correct list as presented by Apolo Ohno, Carrie Ann Inaba and host Tom Bergeron:
- Melanie Brown (a.k.a. ‘Scary Spice’) - Baby momma of Eddie Murphy’s latest child.
- Sabrina Bryan - ‘Cheetah’ girl (I don’t want to know what that means).
- Jennie Garth - 90210 alum #
12 (if you include Ian Ziering from last season) - Josie Maran - The supermodel of the female contestants. I’m already voting against her.
- Marie Osmond - She’s a little bit country.
- Jane Seymour - Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
- Helio Castroneves - He’s going to drive his partner all over the dance floor.
- Mark Cuban - If he doesn’t win, he’ll probably just buy the network.
- Cameron Mathison - A soap star from All My Children. As if ABC needed more publicity.
- Wayne Newton - Mr. Las Vegas will have to learn how to share a stage.
- Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - Apparently the producers felt all boxers could dance.
- Albert Reed - I hear he’s a model as well. I approve of this one.
