Which Dancing with the Star celebrity was the most ridiculous inclusion?

During the 29th season of Dancing with the Stars, Carole Baskin from The Tiger King was partnered with Pasha Pashkov. While there have been several controversial celebrities who’ve performed on Dancing with the Stars, there are two reasons why Baskin’s inclusion was the most ridiculous. First off, The Tiger King portrayed Baskin as a villain so her inclusion was going to turn off some people. More importantly, even though The Tiger King was a sensation after it was released, people moved on from the show surprisingly quickly. As a result, most people didn’t really care about Baskin by the time she appeared on Dancing with the Stars.

During her Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America, Julianne, 36, dropped a potential bombshell when she mentioned that “everybody’s talking” about the possibility of Jason Kelce joining the show.

“I don’t know if there are any serious talks, but internally, everyone seems to think one of the Kelce brothers would be amazing,” she revealed. Then, in a move that had fans buzzing, she added, “I mean, Jason’s not playing anymore, right? Did I just spill the beans?”

Jason, the older sibling of Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce, retired from the NFL earlier this year after a stellar 13-season career with the Philadelphia Eagles. With his football days behind him, the timing seems perfect for Jason to hit the ballroom floor. Julianne’s slip might just be the worst-kept secret in Hollywood right now.

But why would Jason—or any celebrity—want to trade in their usual spotlight for the glittering chaos of DWTS? For celebs, participating in Dancing with the Stars can be a game-changer. It’s a golden opportunity to reinvent their image, boost their public profile, and potentially snag new endorsement deals.

For Jason, specifically, who’s already a household name thanks to his football career and the Kelce family's rising star power, this could be a strategic move to keep his fame momentum rolling.

The Kelce Family Is More Famous Thanks To Taylor Swift

Speaking of the Kelce family, their star has been on the rise, particularly since Travis, 34, has been linked with pop sensation Taylor Swift, 34. The romance has catapulted both brothers into a new level of fame, and it’s no surprise they’re looking to capitalize on this momentum. Travis’s recent Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs only added fuel to the fire, making the Kelce name synonymous with both athletic prowess and celebrity glitter.

And let’s not forget, the Kelce brothers are no strangers to the spotlight outside of sports. They’ve been charming audiences with their podcast, New Heights, where they’ve hosted an impressive lineup of celebrity guests.

Their media savvy is clear, and Jason joining DWTS would be another savvy move to capitalize on their growing fame – and the same goes for recent reports the family may get their own reality show.

As for the full cast reveal for DWTS Season 33, we’ll have to wait until the end of August to see who else will be joining the dance extravaganza. But one thing’s for sure: if Jason Kelce does lace up his dancing shoes, it’ll be a season to remember.
