Holly Madison to Replace Jewel on DWTS
Hours after a source exclusively confirmed to Usmagazine.com that Holly Madison is joining the cast of Dancing With the Stars, her Girls Next Door costar, Bridget Marquardt, let the news slip on live TV. “I’m so excited for her,” Bridget stated, who next stars in a Travel Channel show called Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches. “She’s wanted to do it for so long,” Bridget added. “It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like ‘I don’t want you to do that,’ and now it’s her time, so I’m really happy for her.”
There is a rumor Madison could be replacing Jewel, who has been struggling with knee problems, and blogged last week that tendonitis could force her to drop out. “Unless there is a miracle healing, Holly is confirmed to be a part of the premiere,” a DWTS source told Us magazine. Jewel released a statement last week saying she’d suffered a minor setback, and added: “Don’t count me out, as I am in this for the long run.” A source close to Jewel told Us magazine she’ll still be on the show Monday. An ABC rep did not comment to Us magazine.
Madison recently split from her magician beau, Criss Angel. The pair hooked up shortly after Madison called it quits last October with Hefner.
Oh I’m excited. The Girls Next Door is one of my fave shows. I can’t wait to watch Holly on DWTS, I’m sure she will do great!
if you watched GND, you know KENDRA is the dancer, not Holly – Holly just shows her “balloon animals” off. I thought this was called Dancing with the STARS? This season’s cast is ALL D-list, hence the addition of Holly.
Thank you for your help!
