The cast of the 28th season of “Dancing with the Stars” was revealed on “Good Morning America”yesterday. Here are the 12 ‘stars’ who are participating when the show returns on Monday, September 16th:
1. Model and actress Christie Brinkley. She’s 65 now, and still looks amazing.
2. Former “Dawson’s Creek” superstar James Van Der Beek
3. Former NBA star-slash-real life train-wreck Lamar Odom
4. Former NFL star-slash-real life murder suspect Ray Lewis
5. Former “Office” star Kate Flannery. She played Meredith.
6. Former “All That” star Kel Mitchell
7. Former “Bachelorette” Hannah Brown. She’s the most recent one.
8. Former “American Idol” runner-up Lauren Alaina
9. Former Supremes singer Mary Wilson. She’s 75 now, and looks fantastic.
10. Former Fifth Harmony singer Ally Brooke
11. “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown
12. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
It’s not surprising that most of them are described using the word FORMER. Celebrities don’t do “Dancing with the Stars” in the PRIME of their career . . . unless the show is still a step up from whatever they’re doing.
The pairings haven’t been announced yet . . . but Peta Murgatroyd will be back, while Artem Chigvintsev and last season’s champ Sharna Burgess are taking this season off. They’ve both said they’re “sad,” so it probably wasn’t their call.
And it’s possible that “Bachelorette” Hannah Brown SWITCHES partners if she makes it to the finale . . . and finds out that her partner had another partner before starting the competition. (???)
Usually the cast leaks in the days leading up to the announcement. But this time, the rumors were WAY off. Some of the rumored contestants who are NOT doing it include: Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles . . . Hailee Steinfeld . . .
Rob Gronkowski. . . Gronk’s girlfriend model Camille Kostek . . . “Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller . . . UCLA gymnastKatelyn Ohashi . . . and Robert Irwin, the son of the Crocodile Hunter.
