Total jackass Steve-O (pictured, left…well, his face is) and NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor (right) are among the rumored contestants for Dancing With the Stars. (Official season 8 slogan: "Already?!?!?!") I love how New York Giants VP Pat Hanlon has issued a thoughtfully worded statement before ABC will even confirm anything. Regarding Taylor’s chances: "It will be interesting to see if the poetic motion that led to theannihilation of the competition on the football field transfers to thedance floor." Poetic motion? Not if a sure-to-be-forthcoming orchestral rendition of "Circus" for Taylor’s first tango has anything to do with it!
Both Taylor and Steve-O have battled drug addiction in the past, so pouring all of their energy into a new obsession — disco ball fairy dust — should prove fruitful, fruity, and safe. The NY Post reported Taylor and Steve-O’s involvement, while the New York Daily News points to reality TV barnacle Denise Richards and blast-from-the-late ’90s singer Jewel as potential sequin-mongers come March 9. Check back at PopWatch for the official DWTS season 8 cast late Sunday night, after ABC announces the lineup during its prime time programming block.
Jewel is all but confirmed as well.
Oh man, if Steve-O is really doing this season, I am totally watching.
Anyone know more about who the new cast will be?
Denise Richards just wants America to like her, because it worked so well for Heather Mills! What? Next season it will be Dina Lohan and the octuplet Mom!
