“We tried to book him”. U.S. Olympic hero Laurie Hernandez will also join the fray, along with Amber Rose and Calvin Johnson.

Ryan Lochte and pro Cheryl Burke: The Olympian’s slot on “Dancing With the Stars” was reported earlier and he (instantly) became the boldest of boldfaced names here, due mostly to notoriety (his Rio whopper) as opposed to his accomplishments. He is set to be summonsed to appear in a Rio court.

Lochte says he has offered to reimburse fellow swimmer James Feigen for a almost $US11,000 ($A14,530) fine Feigen paid to resolve legal issues and leave the country.

Vanilla Ice – Rapper, reality TV veteran and perennial punchline. Hopefully practising his dance moves.

Lochte – who wouldn’t divulge if he’d be returning to Brazil – said his legal team is working to get the charges dropped. This has been an extremely hard time but Jolie has given me more strength than I ever thought possible.

“My feeling is one of pity”, Mayor Eduardo Paes said. “I am ready to be back and do what I was born to do”.

He has also made a series of other anti-gay remarks in recent years as he’s spoken against same-sex marriage, against the end of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and took a lead role is trying to keep openly gay members out of the Boy Scouts of America. A very big mistake. Stars like Amber Rose, Vanilla Ice, Maureen McCormick, Jana Kramer and more will also be hitting the ballroom – and we totally can not wait! Everyone’s got to be sick and exhausted of hearing about this. In an interview after the announcement, Lochte spoke about his fabricated robbery story, saying “I want to move forward… we’ve been talking about this for way too long”.

ABC reports that Lochte plans to approach the show like he would the Olympic Games (no public urination this time, though, please), adding he thinks he’s in for a nice change of pace with DWTS. This is completely new for me. “I mean, he really, he has so much on his plate right now, and I think this is the best thing he can do, is just try not to think about everything and come and dance with me, you know?”
