Mark your calendars — although you’re probably gonna know everything way ahead of time, thanks to all those Internet leakers out there.
But if you’re oblivious to such leakage, ABC is gonna announce the cast of the next edition of “Dancing with the Stars” on Feb. 18 (between 8 and 10 p.m.) during the finale of “Dance War.”
They'll do it in an ESPN-inspired "Dance Center" format, hosted by Kenny Mayne, Jerry Rice and Lisa Rinna.This is the first time the cast of “DWTS” will be announced in primetime, for those who keep track of such things.
Already the rumor mill is pumping out names of possible contestants. Last week, my blogging colleague and "DWTS" maven Verne Gay deftly parried the H. Rodham Clinton rumors — although having her hubby go on the show might be a really neat way of getting him off the campaign trail. As the photo shows, Bill can look mighty dapper on the dance floor.
(“DWTS” returns March 17. Yep, it would be great to see ex-POTUS doing a nice clog dance for St Patrick’s Day, no?)
