WINNER AFTER THE JUMP! (more…)
`
Recently single Elisabetta Canalis is going to dance away the memories of George Clooney on the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars. INF caught these pics of Canalis as she was leaving rehearsals.
Other celebs to reportedly join the cast include David Arquette, Chaz Bono, Nancy Grace and another recently single girl, Kristin Cavallari.
Season 13 of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is about to kick off, and ABC has released the official cast list!
Leading the pack is David Arquette, who was linked with the show a few weeks back. He just got back from a trip to Africa to help raise awareness of malaria prevention, and perhaps his good karma will get him closer to the mirror ball trophy. Last season, Hines Ward took home the top prize; the season before that, Jennifer Grey was the winner.
Perhaps the most intriguing entrant is Elisabetta Canalis, the Italian model and ex-girlfriend of George Clooney. And by far most hilariously, Nancy Grace, the bombastic Headline News host, will also be competing for a shot at dance floor immortality.
Also, there will be a bit of a family rivalry, as Ron Artest, teammate of Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom, is squaring off against Rob Kardashian, her brother.
Here’s the full list. The season starts September 19th.

When Kirstie Alley appears on the finale of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ tonight, fans will be see an incredibly smaller dancer.
The incredibly shrinking actress is planning on wearing the same black dress she wore when the ABC hit premiered in March. Kirstie has reportedly lost so much weight that the dress will have to be altered. The dress had to have a shocking 38 inches taken off in order for her to wear it again. 38 inches!
The 60-year-old will wear the costume when she reprises her opening-night dance, the cha-cha, with dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Alley has been noticeably shrinking week after week, but she was coy when asked after performing in a skin-tight bodysuit Monday how much weight she has lost during her two and a half months on the show.
“There will be some reveal of that at some point, but I really didn’t care,” she said. “As long as I kept changing and changing and changing, I really didn’t care. It was like, keep whittling, whittling, whittling. And the other thing that’s really more significant to me – I mean, I love the whittling, I like being skinny – I’m really strong and really agile and it gave me a new life.”
Alley’s costumes have gotten progressively smaller and skimpier as she has continued on the show.
“We are constantly taking in and altering Kirstie’s costumes,” said designer Randall Christensen. “Isn’t she looking incredible?!”
The one-time “Fat Actress” wowed in a body-hugging catsuit during her freestyle dance Monday. After the performance, Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Alley that she has become “the new poster child for life as it should be lived at 60 years old.”
A new “Dancing” champ will be named Tuesday. Alley is up against actress Chelsea Kane and football star Hines Ward.
Kirstie Alley was dropped last night by her “Dancing with the Stars” partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Just a few seconds into their rumba routine to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on Monday, Chmerkovskiy fell to the floor, taking the 60-year-old actress down with him.
A limping, apologetic Chmerkovskiy later told the judges that his thigh “just gave out.”
After a few moments the pair recovered and went on to earn the praise of the judges and a score of 21 – one point higher than their score for last week’s quickstep.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba says, “Sometimes tragedy leads to amazingly beautiful moments.”
