BROOKE BURKE- NEW DANCING WITH THE STARS HOST!

Share |

8 March 2010

We are so excited for ModernMom’s own Brooke Burke who was selected to host Dancing with the Stars! After many anxious days of waiting, it was announced Monday morning that Brooke will replace Samantha Harris as Tom Bergeron’s new partner. Check out Brooke's blog to hear what she has to say!

For Brooke fans unfamiliar with Dancing with the Stars, here is a short description to get you up to speed on the hit show.  ABC describes the formula of their show as follows: “Three opinionated judges, eleven professional dancers, eleven celebrities, tons of glitter and spray tans, and one Tom Bergeron.”

Let us now add to that list: one beautiful Brooke Burke.

The show matches 11 actors, athletes, musicians, reality stars, astronauts and where-are-they-now personalities who have zero professional dancing experience with eleven professional ballroom dancers. The show is a competition to determine the best pair. There are three judges, Bruno, Carrie Ann and Len, who score each couple. Viewers get to weigh-in with their online and telephone votes. This fast-paced show is a compelling must-see.

Here is ABC’s 2010 list of celebrities and their professional dancing partners:

Soap star Aiden Turner and Edyta Sliwinkska

Legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Ashly Costa

NFL star Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke

ESPN host Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Olympic skating champion Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya

Bachelor star Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower

TLC star Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani

Pop star Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough

Comedienne and host Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel

Actress and model Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood

Actress Shannen Doherty and Mark Ballas

Brooke will be an amazing co-host! Her warm and friendly demeanor will bring a great addition to the dance floor. The show premieres March 22, 2010. We can’t wait to watch Brooke back in action on the show.

Here are exclusive comments from Brooke's Mom and Sister to Brooke:

 

"My heart is filled with pride! Although I knew you were a natural to co-host DWTS, it only became a reality this morning. You have been working very hard and no one deserves it more than you do.  You are always so humble and you always manage to stay grounded. But this is HUGE!!! Thank you for staying in the lime light and allowing me another fantasy ride. Can't wait for my grandchildren to once again watch their mom on tv! My life is always exciting because of you. I love you so much!"

“Wow!  This is so exciting. Brooke is such a down to earth person and has always found joy in seeing the hard won success of others.  Knowing she’ll be a part of guiding America through the competition after experiencing it herself is the perfect fit.  She worked so hard physically and mentally during her winning season and the process alone was a victory.  I know she’ll play a great supporting roll on the dancing with the stars team. Living on opposite coasts, we can’t see eachother as much as we’d like so I’m elated that I’ll see her weekly!  Way to go, Brooke!!  You ROCK!”
