Rick Perry: I’ll Be Dancing For The Veterans

The lineup and pairings for the next season of Dancing With The Stars were formally revealed today. Former Texas Gov. Rick “Oops” Perry just tweeted out a photo of his partner, announcing that he will be competing to raise awareness for veterans. More from Variety:



After weeks of speculation, the network confirmed that Olympic gold medalists Ryan Lochte and Laurie Hernandez will be joining the reality competition. The star-studded cast also includes model-turned-talk-show-host Amber Rose, former Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry, “Brady Bunch” star Maureen McCormick, and rapper Vanilla Ice. The entire cast was unveiled Tuesday on “Good Morning America.”

Lochte said “We’re just trying to get this over with. It’s been dragged out way too long” when asked this morning on “GMA” about the possibility of returning to Rio. “I think it’s everyone blowing this way out of proportion. I think that’s what happened,” he said, adding he made “a very big mistake” “about that one part” of the story that a gun was held to his head.
