Brooke Burke is officially joining ‘Dancing with the Stars’…
She’ll be replacing former host Samantha Harris who said she was leaving the show earlier this year.
The new season premieres on March 22nd…

Shannen Doherty explains why she’s joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars after years of declining the show.
She says she was finally inspired by her father after he suffered from a stroke.
“He lost his speech, he wasn’t mobile. He was really struggling, and still it. When i mentioned this to him, he got really excited and he wanted me to do it. I thought, if my dad can fight through having a stroke and the loss of being able to communicate, I think I can do this for him. So I figured I’m going to get over my fear for him. I’m going to get in great shape, and everyone who I know who’s been on the show has had a great time. It’s with hesitation and fear, but it’s going to be good to conquer the fear.”

OK Mag – Six months after steaming up the dance floor on Dancing with the Stars, country darlings Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks have broken up.
The aspiring singers reportedly bought a house together three months ago, but it wasn’t enough to keep them together.
“This was mutual,” a source says. “They both needed some time apart.”
It seemed like the pair were made for each other. “What’s been fun is that we never argued at all,” Julianne, 21, told E! News after they stepped off DWTS in sixth place.
“We’ve had a little tiff here and there, but about dance movements. It was fun. We had this passion. It was fun for us because we never argued.”
But, the pair have to face each other at tomorrow’s Country Music Association Awards where Julianne is scheduled to present and Chuck, 30, is working the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight.
