'Dancing With the Stars' Has New Hosts!

Call it the curse of 2020. Or just call it #2020. I feel like all we have been doing is delivering sad news and now here comes some depressing news for 'Dancing With the Stars' fans. Tom Bergeron has announced he will not be returning as host of the hit dancing competition for the 29th season; his co-host, Erin Andrews, won't return, as well. This is not a personal choice for Bergeron or Andrews but rather a decision made by the network, ABC, Tom shared on his Twitter:

"Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It's been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career. I'm grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of the glitter masks?"

Bergeron, 65, for his part, has been a host since the series premiered in 2005, even winning an Emmy in 2012. As for Erin Andrews, she took over in 2013 from Brooke Burke-Charvet (Lisa Canning co-hosted first; Samantha Harris took over from 2006-2010) and has been a fan favorite, alongside of Bergeron, having competed on season 10 of the series. It was revealed she would also not be returning in any capacity to 'DWTS' via a statement from ABC and BBC Studios:

“Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success. Erin will also not be returning, and we appreciate all that she brought to the ballroom. Fans have been rooting for her since she originally competed as a contestant back in 2010, and her signature sense of humor has become a hallmark of the show.”

Social media is already going crazy right since the announcement with fans saying the show will not be the same without Bergeron; they feel the show is being killed; the hosts are more famous than some of the dancers (I loved that); the show will never be the same (facts); and many won't even watch the show when it returns. Though it has been renewed, due to COVID, there is no set date for the show to start filming again. Last year, the show faced controversy when they let go of pros Sharna Burgess and Artem Chigvintsev. Looks like it will take some real stars to make season 29 work. We will miss you, Tom!

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it.  The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event. The new season will likely premiere in September, so get ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Are you excited about this new cast so far ?

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

YouTube When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey, and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and Jayden as well as son, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you. Flying On A Cloud Not everyone wants to support the Kardashians, and that is understandable . They have become a hit-or-miss family and might be overrated. However, almost everything that they touch turns to gold, so adding food only makes sense. Kourtney Kardashian has her own supplement line, and now, Khloe Kardashian has ventured into snacks. She has long been into fitness, and it has been a great coping mechanism. So, on April 29th, 2025, she dro...
