[Grumpy's Wife]

I know that Harry Hamlin signed up to do it. His wife, Lisa Rinna mentioned it on her Soap Chat Show (can't remember the exact name).

When does the new season start? I missed last season due to the rock I live under. I loved the first season though!

 

[RadioNate]

Vivica Fox has confirmed she's doing it. I've heard the Harry Hamlin rumors and Mario Lopez, I bet he's the 'teen idol.'

OP can we put 'season 3' in the title so this becomes the 'official' season 3 thread. I'm all about consolidation, lol.

Here's the official speculation list from wikipedia (highlight)

Season 3 of Dancing with the Stars will begin on September 12, 2006 at 8pm with a two hour season premiere, airing on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
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.

[SC Minnie]

Yesterday on the radio they said Joey Lawrence, Emmit Smith, Harry Hamlin, Vivica A Fox, Mario Lopez- I am thinking there was a couple more but I can't remember.

Can't wait for this show!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

All we've heard about when it starts so far is TUESDAYS this fall, from what i can gather.

Mario Lopez would be AWESOME!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I loved last season. I especially enjoy watching bad dancing for some reason. Jerry Rice was hilarious, he's a great athlete but had absolutely no rhythm. My four year old daughter used to sneak out of bed to watch it.

Below is a brief press release that I posted in another thread on accident It just pretty much says everything that has been said, I will just post it again.

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!

 

[DisneyFan06]

Masiela Lusha is the actress from George Lopez on ABC. I had to do some research because she is one of the ones I really didn't know just from the name alone.

William Hung -- hasn't he already had his 15 minutes plus?
