The Season 15 Dancing With the Stars All-Star cast will be announced earlier than usual this year. Next week, in fact. (Last year's fall season cast was unveiled on Aug. 29.)
So who's likely to be on the list?
Dancing alum Ralph Macchio told us just the other day that he heard they were all finalists from previous seasons. No, he is not among them, he said.
Some of the names being rumored to be competing are not finalists, so we'll have to wait until Friday, July 27, at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT, when ABC does the official reveal. (That's the day of Olympic Opening Ceremonies on NBC, by the way.) The Hollywood Reporter says the big announcement will be made at during its presentation at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
In the meantime, here's some of the buzz:
From TVOvermind.com:
Donny Osmond
Kelly Osbourne
Drew Lachey
Gilles Marini
Maria Menounos (not a finalist)
Mario Lopez
Stacey Keibler
Louie Vito (not a finalist)
Mel B
Kyle Massey
Bristol Palin
Joey Fatone
And other names from PureDWTS: Trista Sutter, Joey Lawrence and Carson Kressley.
