Dancing With the Stars, Spring 2016

A bit of news: Julianne still not be on the show this season as a judge or anything else. She has other plans. But Len will be back. I'm wondering if they will have a guest judge every week or just stick with the 3 judge panel, which I prefer.

Excited to find out who will be on the show this season!

So glad to hear that Len will be back. As much as I like Julianne I missed Len.

Any idea what date it will return?

Season 22 begins March 21, 2016. Seems so late in the year, doesn't it.

While looking this up, found some more gossip: Mark Ballas is engaged. Ok, so not juicy gossip (yet). Lol.

Who is he engaged to? Anyone we know?

Mark Ballas is engaged to BC Jean, his band mate in the band "Alexander Jean". They've been together for a long time.

Looks like the star announcements will be made live on GMA on March 8th. Jodie Sweeten is one of the rumored names. Has anybody else heard anything?

Can't wait to hear who the "stars" are going to be. I'm going to miss all but the first two and last two episodes but hope to stay up-to-date through the Internet.

Net worth of $200 million and he only buys her a 6 1/2 carat diamond? Cheapskate.:D:D:D

I'm not surprised Robert and Kym are engaged. Didn't she get pregnant? Or was that just untrue gossip, per usual?

What was your favorite dress at the Oscars last night? I loved that yellow dress, but can't remember her name. Just loved it!

Was that Alicia Vikander? I loved Sofia Vergara's midnight blue dress.

Yes, thank you so much! That's her name (and I'll never remember it, lol). Yes, I loved Sofia's dress also. As well as Cate Blanchet's, Naomi Watts'. So many great ones.

No Derek Hough this season (now somebody else can win). He'll be starring on Broadway in Dancing In The Rain. He'll be amazing in that.

Jodie Sweetin of Full (and Fuller) House is the first announced "star" on DWTS.

May be just a rumor but Kim Fields from "The Facts of Life". Full cast to be announced March 8.

Yes, Jodie Sweeten for sure now. And Ginger Zee from Good Morning America. Kim Fields? That would be interesting.

Did you see where I said Derek would be in Dancing in the Rain on Broadway? Do you think I really meant Singing in the Rain? Lol. Where is my head.

more rumors:

Marla Maples (gotta have that Trump connection) partner'd with Tony, who she has known for years.

Mischa Barton with pro Artem.

Jodie's partner will be Keo.

Paige VanZant with Mark Ballas.

Antonio Brown with Sharna Burgess.

Von Miller (Denver Bronco) with Whitney Carson.

Ginger Zee (GMA weather woman) with Val.

ANTM Nyle DiMarco with Peta.

Kim Fields

Fun! Could be an interesting season! Wasn't Keo the first pro voted out the past 2 seasons? Here's hoping he does better this year, poor guy.

Ok, here's the supposed list:

-Former NFL player Doug Flutie and Karina Smirnoff

-Facts of Life star Kim Fields and Sasha Farber

-The O.C. star Mischa Barton and Artem Chigvintsev

-Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller and Witney Carson

-Donald Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples and Tony Dovolani

-NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess

-Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy

-Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin and Keo Motsepe

-Deaf America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd

-UFC fighter Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas

and last but not least (but perhaps the first to go) -

FOX News reporter and pundit Geraldo Rivera, accompanied by pro Edyta Sliwinska

Interesting list! I love how they leak the info after announcing it would be announced on March 8th. Geraldo? Yup, probably first to go. Deaf dancer? Won't be the first one. That's always interesting, to see somebody with a disability overcome it through dancing.

Should be a fun/interesting season!

Can't wait, I love Ginger Zee!

Sad news for Tom Bergeron. His mother has died.
