New Cast Being Announced For 'DWTS' And More!

  photo courtesy of pinterest.com With the hosting switch-up on 'Dancing With the Stars,' it was easy to believe it would be hard to find celebs to dance in the ballroom. It was even a challenge to find pros since Witney Carson and Lindsay Arnold are both expecting. Luckily, things are starting to come together for season 29 after OG host, Tom Bergeron and co-host, Erin Andrews were unexpectedly let go from the series , leaving fans in shock and dismay, some saying they would never watch the show again.  ABC got super lucky because fan fave pros Sharna Burgess and Artem Chigvintsev will be returning this year after being given the boot for no reason at all (seems to be a common theme with ABC) along with Cheryl Burke, Peta Murgatroyd, and Val Chmerkovskiy. As for the celebs, Kaitlyn Bristowe has already confirmed she will be dancing and now Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean is alluding to a spot on the series, as well. Other names swirling are Carole Baskin, Ch...

Tyra Banks Is Taking Over 'Dancing With the Stars' After Tom Bergeron Firing!

  photo courtesy of youtube,com After announcing 'Dancing With the Stars' would be headed in a new creative direction for season 29, the most dramatic move for fans of the series would be saying goodbye to original host, Tom Bergeron. Along with Tom, his sidekick since 2013 (and season 10 competitor), Erin Andrews was also given the boot, leaving fans skeptical if they would even watch the new season.  Though the show had been renewed, there is no set return date since COVID is not seemingly going anywhere soon, especially in California, where 'DWTS ' is filmed. With this new "creative direction," everyone wondered who would take over the lifeline of the show and now, we have an answer. Tyra Banks , of 'America's Next Top Model' fame and supermodel extraordinaire, will be the new host and producer and she is over the moon, according to a PR from the network: "I've been a fan of 'DWTS' since its beginning ...

'Dancing With the Stars' Has New Hosts!

  photo courtesy of abc.com 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?" photo courtesy of flickr.com 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...
