From EW senior writer Lynette Rice:
Though ABC hasn’t officially announced the roster, EW has learned that Wayne Newton (pictured), aka Mr. Las Vegas, will follow in the tanned footsteps of George Hamilton and John O’Hurley when he joins Dancing with the Stars this fall. At 65, Newton still tours with the USO and makes regular appearances in his hometown of Vegas.
No word yet on which professional dancer he’ll be paired with, or on the identities of his fellow competitors — but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for Bob Barker since he’s free as a bird (hey, a girl can dream!). ABC would not confirm or deny Newton’s participation.
Judge Carrie Ann and Season 4 winner Apolo Ohno will announce the next lineup Aug. 29 on Good Morning America.
Oh dear.
I’m not excited.
ick
I hope I look as good as Wayne when I’m 65…I am soooo looking forward to this!
Wayne’s photo looks like the lead-in to a story about “When Plastic Surgery Goes Wrong”. Think twice, Mr. Newton.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is just wrong and somewhat scarey! What do you bet they get him to sing too? Yikes!
Just because you can afford 25 plastic surgeries, doesn’t mean you should get them all. Can you bounce a dime off that stretched skin or what? Not to mention the out of control bright as the sun, blinding, white caps. Good Lord.
Lovely hair helmet there Wayne. Just lovely. Great that you have the five gray hairs in there too for authenticity for your actual age. My Newfoundland looks better.
There’s just something about these celebs who do this to themselves that makes me feel so sorry for them. I mean, do they think they look great? Does the king of plastic surgery, Micheal Jackson actually look in the mirror and feel comfortable about it?
I’ll keep my wrinkles and semi-big nose, thank you.
At least their talents are still intact, or are they?
What’s the point of tightening your face when your neck and chest are still wrinkly and saggy?
I need sunglasses looking at those teeth.
SPOILER ALERT…….
I read on a reality show website that Jennie Garth (from 90210) and Mel B of the Spice Girls are signed up. I thought the Spice Girls were going on tour???
What’s frightening is that Wayne Newton has a huge following amongst the cotton-heads. That alone will keep him on the show probably longer than he should stay.
The picture of the girl that’s posted, who’s going to be her partner?
I guess Robert Goulet was unavailable.
This article sounds perfect for a know-it-all named Ep Sato. Lets see what he can come up with this time. By the way congratulations to you and your granny wife.
