DWTS Season 16: Who's In? Who's Out?

Okay, we are getting closer and closer to that March 18 premiere date for Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars. The rumors are out there, let's see who is definitely out and who might be in. Remember, we don't have any confirmations yet.

NO:
Lindsay Lohan:  While this gal could use the money and she surely could use the career boost, Lindsay won't be stepping on any dance floor any time soon.  If you have been following her recent court case, Lindsay will begin her next trial on March 18th.  Oh, guess what show premieres that day?

Lance Armstrong:  I believe this is a name ABC pursued pretty heavily.  His story is legendary in a not-so-good way, but DWTS might be a good place to start his comeback.  However, I think Armstrong has said his peace to Oprah and he is now going to step away from the media for a time.  Remember, he has a lot of personal relationships to heal before he ever steps back into the public arena.

MAYBE:
Emily Maynard:  ABC is very loyal to their reality stars and they have utilized Maynard for two rounds of the The Bachelor franchise.  Don't doubt for a minute that they are at least thinking about using her for DWTS.  She is a polarizing figure, but people would tune into watch her.

Katherine Webb:  She's the hottest pop culture figure these days thanks to Brent Musburger and the BCS championship game.  We will see her reporting for Inside Edition at Super Bowl LXVII and in the swimsuit issue for Sports Illustrated plus she's starring in ABC's new celebrity diving show called Splash.  Webb has made no secret about the fact that she wants to hit DWTS next....stay tuned.

The Fierce Five:  A few of the team members talked about wanting to star on the show after their appearance on the Season 15 finale.  We chatted with Jordyn Wieber on Afterbuzz TV's DWTS after show and she mentioned how much she would love to do the show. Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, and McKayla Maroney also expressed interest in the show.  If I was going to pick one from the gold medal-winning team, my money is on Maroney for a few reasons.  One, she's focusing on an acting career.  Two, she's local to the Southern California area.

Things we know for sure:

1.  The show will be back for two seasons per year.

That's it!  We need to know more.  If you have any insider scoop, send your tips here.

Who do you think will be on the show?  Any other rumors?  Where are all of the men--no rumors yet?

The Friday Five: Best Olympic Moments Of The Week

1.  Gabby Douglas:  My girl won.  The best thing about this Women's Gymnastics All-Around competition is that it was fiercely fought and won.  The top 2 ladies didn't have a single fall all night. In this day of incredibly difficult gymnastics, that is almost unheard of.  Also, Gabby is the first black gymnast to win the Olympic All-Around Gold Medal, this is historic.  If you want to understand how significant this is, watch former Olympian, Dominique Dawes, well up with tears when talking about Gabby's win.

2.  Michael Phelps:  After a rough start, he finally became the most decorated Olympian ever.  While I don't find him compelling as a personality, I sure can appreciate his unbelievable athleticism and competitive fire.  At this point, he has 20 medals and he still has two races to go.  Impressive, but it sure is going to be weird to experience the 2016 Rio Games without him.

3. Kayla Harrison:  While Judo may not be the sexiest sport of the Olympics like Women's Beach Volleyball or Water Polo, this athlete has brought a lot of great attention to her sport.  She has had a long road as a survivor of sexual abuse from a former coach yet, she can walk away from these Olympics with a gold medal.  I think we can all feel her emotion when she hit that the medal podium on Thursday.



4.  McKayla Maroney:  This girl has so much fire, she's tiny, and she's fab.  She's also the best vaulter in the world.  If you missed her vault in Women's Gymnastics Team Finals, then you better watch the video.  She's also a total ham and her sassy Instagram photos are the subject of this awesome tribute from Buzzfeed.

5.  Missy Franklin:  Besides being a gifted swimmer, this girl looks like she is having the time of her life at the Olympics.  Too often, we see stressed out athletes because this is the biggest meet or match or game of their life.  Missy is soaking in every moment while still performing like an elite athlete.  It's kind of awesome to see someone smile before a race.  Oh, and she's only 17-years old, she has two gold medals, and she received a tweet from the Biebs.  That's a good day at the office.
