Dancing with the Stars 3

[DisneyFan06]

ABC has announced that the third edition of Dancing with the Stars, the network's smash-hit reality ballroom competition, will kick off ABC's fall season and premiere on Tuesday, September 12 at 8PM ET/PT with a special two-hour premiere.

Dancing with the Stars 3 will air its first results show the following night on Wednesday, September 13 at 8PM ET/PT -- the results show's regular time period.

As the network first announced in May, rather than air on the same Thursday/Friday broadcast schedule that its second edition used, Dancing with the Stars' third season will move to an American Idol-like midweek schedule (fitting given its Idol-like ratings growth) in which its performance and results shows will air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8PM ET/PT.

Rumor has it that Sara Evans, Melissa Joan Hart, David Carradine, Masiela Lusha, Mario Lopez, Vivica A. Fox, Jerry Springer, William Hung, Harry Hamlin, Shanna Moakler, Emitt Smith, and Joey Lawrence will be among the stars participating this season.

There has also been many rumors about Lisa Rinna taking the new cohosting position; however, Rinna has yet to confirm these rumors.


ETA: I am very happy that this show has been renewed for a third season. I really enjoyed last seasons performances and was happy with the outcome. This season should be just as good - especially if Lisa Rinna will be cohosting!

I don't know half of those people.

I had to do some research myself. William Hung is that reject from American Idol who became famous. Mario Lopez is the host of Pet Star and was also on Saved by the Bell. Emmitt Smith was a Dallas Cowboy football player. Thats about all I have so far.

Funny, I tried searching and it came up with nothing! That search function needs to be fixed.

Sara Evans is a country music singer
Melissa Joan Hart was Sabrina the teenage witch
David Carradine was on Kung Fu (a show from the 60's/70's)
Vivica A. Fox is probably best known as Will Smith's girlfriend in Independence Day
Jerry Springer is, well, Jerry Springer (white trash talk show host)
Harry Hamlin was on LA Law (and is Lisa Rinna's DH)
Shanna Moakler was a Playboy Playmate
Joey Lawrence was on Blossom (Whoa!!!)

Not a clue who Masiela Lusha is

Masiela Lusha- I had to google her.


European born actress/writer Masiela Lusha portrayed Carmen Lopez for five seasons as George Lopez's rebellious and passionate daughter on the syndicated ABC series, "George Lopez".

I knew them all except that last one, too, but she must have one HECK of a PR person because this show REVIVES and starts careers.

Glad to see Lisa Rinna as co host, considering the last two were horrendous.

 

[mommytotwo]

I can already see some participants that may not make it that far including Jerry Springer and William Hung, but I will tune in to see.
I personally don't care for Lisa Rinna, so I hope she isn't the host.

Has this been confirmed? Please say it isn't!! I may not watch at all if she is the co-host. I could not stand her on season 2.

I thought the co-host last year was very good.

 

[korzmom]

how could LISA RINNA be a co host if HARRY HAMLIN will be a participant? I liked the last co host,I cant stand TOM BERGERNON. I hope the WILLIAM HUNG rumor is not so,OMG what a joke that would be...cant wait till the season starts, its such a good family hour,we definetly need more of.

I had a student that was obsessed with this show last year. He even drew a picture of Stacey Kiebler in her pink fringed outfit in his journal one day. Tried to tell me it was a picture of his mom reading him a bedtime story

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Who will be this year's version of people from last year?

 

[Reflection]

William Hung... a star?! Geez, isn't his 15 minutes over by now?

 

[Reflection]

Who will be this year's version of people from last year?

William Hung = Master P (or whoever was the no-rhythm-can't-dance rapper from this season)

Mario Lopez = nice eye candy!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Any idea which pros are coming back?
