Jilted “Bachelor” Chick Does “Dancing with the Stars”

Melissa Rycroft may think Jason “The Bachelor” Mesnick is a jerk, but if he hadn’t dumped her on national TV, I highly doubt she would have been given the chance to kick it on “Dancing with the Stars.” It’s just a RUMOR… right now, but sources tell PEOPLE magazine that 25-year-old Rycroft is in fact taking the celebrity contestant slot vacated by Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell.

Dancing with the Stars’ new season hasn’t officially started yet, but the show is already losing celeb hoofers. Sort of.

Someone is getting the ax on Wisteria Lane, and it’s not Susan Mayer.

“Dancing with the Stars” Adds a New Twist

It’s superstar husband versus celebrity wife during this season’s Dancing with the Stars. And here’s another first: Instead of celeb hoofers hooking up with their pro partners during the season (ala Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth, Mark Ballas and Sabrina Bryan, etc.), this season producers allowed a real life couple to heat up the ballroom. DWTS champ-turned-country-singer Julianne Hough will compete with her boyfriend, country singer Chuck Wicks. Producers say they are interested in seeing if the lovebirds will stay together after being forced to be around each other nearly 24/7. Another potential deal breaker: Julianne will be bossing around … Continue reading →
