Another Texas politico, former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2009.

Other “Dancing With the Stars” contestants in the season starting on September 12 will include 16 year-old U.S. Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, former Texas governor Rick Perry, and rapper Vanilla Ice.
Everyone will be yelling, “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!” this season, too…since the woman who played Marcia Brady on “The Brady Bunch” – Maureen McCormick – is also competing for the coveted mirror ball trophy.
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.

On Good Morning America, Lochte said he wants to move past his scandal in Rio and focus on the competition, according to E! I don’t know any of them yet, but I’m excited to find out more and see what they can do on the dance floor.
“I’ve become inspired again and have a renewed love of dance, all genres of dance”, she wrote.
Muva’s putting her dancing shoes on!
“I’m going to treat this kind of like going into the Olympics”, he added.
