Hey all! I’m hopping a plane back home to Los Angeles from my parents home in Kansas. Had a wonderful two weeks with the family and now I’m ready to get back to WORK!

And that starts TONIGHT! On the season finale of The Bachelor on ABC, Tom Bergeron (and apparently Melissa Rycroft, new co-host??) will be announcing the stars that will be on season 10 of Dancing With the Stars. I will be watching every moment and blogging as they announce them (I don’t know if they’ll do it all at once or piecemeal, we’ll see).

So if you don’t want to watch The Bachelor, I’m here for ya, babies.

Tune in to Soullldiva later tonight! ;o)

Ugh. Now this one really bums me out, and it’s NOT a rumor. Lacey Schwimmer, who joined Dancing With the Stars back in 2008 will not be returning to the show this season (and who knows how long she’ll be out). According to US Magazine, Lacey confirmed this by tweeting on Friday night: “Hey twitterbugs! I will not be returning to DWTS this season. Be sure to tune in! <3″

First Julianne, now Lacey. Julianne was my favorite female dancer and Lacey was a close second. I love how she injected a little youth into the show with her style. Oh well. I have to pick my new fave now. Kym? Anna? Who will it be?? Who is YOUR favorite female pro on Dancing With the Stars?

Ok, now I’ve heard it ALL. According to Access Hollywood (a bastion on news accuracy), legendary astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong have been tapped to be on season 10 of Dancing With the Stars. They’re like 80! And while I’m a fan of theirs (of course the Earth orbits and Moon landings were “one giant leap for mankind”), it can’t make for super exciting TV now, can it?

I have to say that this season’s star cast rumors are exciting, cool and just…silly. It’s kinda a “things that make you go ‘hmmm’” area (does that reference age me?). But hey, it’s buzz and if it weren’t exciting, I would’t be BLOGGING about it now, would I? ;o)

Well, once again we will find out if this rumor is solid on March 1st during the finale of The Bachelor. I WILL be watching with bated breath!

Last week I posted that Nancy O’Dell was officially in the running to replace Dancing With the Stars co-host Samantha Harris. Well it looks like there are two other women up for the coveted position, and BOTH are DWTS alums!

Although she reportedly is taking the hosting job on the reality modeling show “She’s Got the Look”, model and TV host Brooke Burke is the first on the list. Since I’m certain they tape that show, she could probably host both at the same time.

Former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and scorned “Bachelor” would-be winner Melissa Rycroft is the second on the short list for the DWTS position.

My money is on Melissa here. While I like Brooke and Nancy both, I really think that Melissa is the most likeable of the three and I think she’d do a fab job! Let me know what you think!!

Have you seen her?  I mean…puh-leeze!!

First of all, she’s HALF of what she used to be (as we used to say, she’s lost a whole Backstreet Boy). Her eyes just jump out of her face. I always thought her face was sweet looking, and she’s always going to have that wide jaw (inherited from her mom), but the whole package just makes for a really interesting, cute girl. I don’t even mind the tattoos. It’s gives an edge to her very young look.

Love the dress, too, darling.

BUT–

OMG and I mean it. Not tacky, though. I think this look is hawt.

Great work, Kelly, on DWTS AND on the body. Looks like you worked hard and you deserve it!
