“Dancing with the Stars” Celebrity Contestants Announced

August 14, 2006 by  

Have you been dying to find out just which celebs will be dancing their way across the stage when the new season of Dancing with the Stars premieres? Well, GiveMeMyRemote.com has the scoop. Check it out:

Harry Hamlin – A former People’s Sexiest Man Alive winner, this star of LA Law and Veronica Mars might have a slight advantage over the other contestants since his wife, Lisa Rinna, was a contestant on last year’s show.

Mario Lopez – Oh mama. AC Slater will be shaking those Latin hips in front of millions. Something tells me Mario may be the guy to beat. If only Jessie Spano would be there to cheer him on.

Joe Lawrence – You might be wondering just who Joe Lawrence is. What if I told you that back in the day he was known as Joey Lawrence? Ah, yeah, now you know. The former star of Blossom and American Dreams is still nice to look at, but he can he work it? I guess will find out. Whoa (sorry, I couldn’t resist).

Jerry Springer – Not sure what to say about this one. Let’s just hope he doesn’t bring any hookers, or women who had children with their brothers on the show.

Emmit Smith – It wouldn’t be Dancing with the Stars if there wasn’t an ex-jock represented. Following in the tradition of Evander Holyfield and Jerry Rice, fromer NFLer, and future Hall of Famer, Smith, will be tackling the competition (yeah, bad joke, I know)

Tucker Carlson – Um what? Here’s the reason I’m going to be watching this season. Conservative Republican and all around jackass, Tucker Carlson, will be ditching his bowtie for some new duds. Not really sure what to make out of this one. It might be a little harder for Tucker to dance with that pole up his ass, but I guess we’ll see.

Vivica A. Fox – The sultry actress will certaintly represent the hot factor in this year’s competition. I guess I didn’t realize that Vivica’s star had fallen to this level, but I guess it has.

Monique Coleman, Willa Ford, Shanna Moakler & Sara Evans – Sorry to lump all these ladies together, but I know very little about them individually. I guess Coleman was featured in Disney’s High School Musical, but I’ve never seen it. Willa Ford – I think she used to date Nick Carter, right? Yeah, I’m sure she’ll be bringing the class to the show then. Sara Evans is a country music singer. I know I’ve heard of her, but I can’t think of any of her tunes off the top of my head. And finally Shanna Moakler. The actress may be best known for her reality show Meet the Barkers, but she’s been in the news lately as she recently filed for divorce from Blink 182’s, Travis Barker.

I’m interested to see who knows how to shake their groove thang.
Dancing with the Stars is set to premiere on Sept. 12th on ABC.

    By calling Tucker Carlson a jackass, are we seeing your political stance, GMMR? ^_^ Ha ha, i’m just teasing. Yeah, um, not watching this show so doesn’t matter, although seeing him dance…that would be great 🙂 Personally, i would rather watch him than Springer, but that’s another story. Forum talk there.

    You know…I might just have to watch this. 😉

    Lord…I hope Tucker Carlson falls on his face.

    Also, I either read or saw an interview with Lisa Rinna that said Harry told her if she did well on the show he would do it too. So I guess that’s why he’s doing it.

    Ok, so I normally only comment on “The Office” here, but, just as I’m in love with Jenna/Pam, I’m in love with Sara Evans. I have been for many many years.

    I’ll have to tune in and watch the show now.

    Sara’s most recent song (so stereotypical country) was “Cheatin” but the best one she ever did was “no place that far”

    to quote Kevin Malone in re: Sara Evans.

    Miiiillllfff.

    haha

    and Willa Ford….she got super desperate a few years ago after her only hit “I wanna be bad” and ended up doing playboy.

    joy.

    orrr not

    Are you sure that Tucker will indeed be ditching the bow tie? I wouldn’t be surpised if it would be working it into his wardrobe. Not that I’ll be watching.

    And as sad as it may seem, I actually have not one, but two Willa Ford songs on my iPod but I haven’t sunk so low to have any by Sara Evans.

    I am going to have to go into this one rooting for Emmitt Smith. Not only is he from my hometown of Pensacola, Florida, but he was one of the greatest players in the history of the University of Florida, which is also where I graduated from.

    When “I wanna be bad” was a sorta hit a few years back, I actually saw Willa Ford at a concert a local radio station put together. She’s such a great dancer that she actually fell off of the stage and into the audience. I’m not joking. It was hilarious.

    I fear that if Vivica A Fox over-exerts herself, her plastic surgery may fall off.

    My only hope is that Mario Lopez wears a similar outfit to when he was in “The Spandex Twins” with Kelly Kapowski in the dance-off at the Max. That way, there’s no way he can lose.

    Thanks a lot for politicizing your blog with your Tucker Carlson slurs. It’s always nice to interject politics into a place where it’s really unnecessary. It makes it so much easier for everyone to get along.

    I know it’s tough for Liberals to keep it straight, since they’re all about the hatin’, but Tucker Carlson isn’t technically a Republican. If your objection is that he’s Conservative, that’s not a very “liberal” viewpoint is it? Being Conservative is a lifestyle choice. I thought Liberals believed in that “to each their own” dichotomy.

    Anyway good job! You’ve alienated a frequent reader.

    Bye!! Ah, the beauty and power of free speech 🙂

  12. Brandon on August 15th, 2006 3:17 pm

    Don’t sweat it GMMR. You don’t need someone that small minded reading your stuff anyway. It wasn’t even that political. I would have to be at a cocktail party with that guy. I love you gorgeous. And guess what? I’m a full blow, Bush-voting Republican! No lie.

    I love Willa Ford. She is a super Talented singer and she’s a really good dancer as well. she should have an advantage over a lot of these people because she’s one of the younger ones, and she’s in great shape. I will definetely vote for her and i think a lot of guys will too
