Jack Osbourne, Snooki, And Christina Milian Reportedly Sign On For Dancing With The Stars

Dancing With The Stars’ 17th season is set to premiere in less than one month and casting rumors are in full spin. Last week, one particular rumor placed Teen Mom Farrah Abraham in the ballroom with John Stamos, Seth MacFarlane, and Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil. Now, fans are getting another set of possible contestants.
Star Magazine is reporting that Jack Osbourne, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, and Christina Milian have all three signed on for the upcoming season.
“[Jack is] excited for the journey,” a source states. “He’s been through a rough time with his multiple sclerosis diagnosis, and is anxious to prove that nothing can stop him.”
As for Christina, she “just couldn’t say no — it’s such a big opportunity for her.” However, with her new gig as The Voice’s social media correspondent, she is a little nervous about practice time. “She’s concerned about juggling both shows, but she’s a tough girl and will work it out.”
Snooki, on the other hand, has been wanting to do the show for years now. “I would so do it,” she told press at the time her Jersey Shore co-star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was cast. “I feel like I’m a good dancer. I’ve got this new body. I would do it in a heartbeat! If they did ask me, I would definitely do it. I think I can handle it.”
When asked if she could go further than Mike (who was eliminated fourth during season 11), Snooki explained, “When I have motivation and dedication, I can go anywhere, I feel. So, I feel like I could win.. maybe!”
Also in talks for Dancing With The Stars season 17 are Jason Varitek, Paula Deen, and Bella Thorne.
The official casting announcement will be made during Good Morning America’s September 4th episode with the premiere to follow on September 16.
