Reality TV Rundown: Dire Dancing with the Stars Rumor

at .

It's been a trying seventh season on Dancing with the Stars: Julianne Hough and Lacey Schwimmer are both ill; it took way too long to vote Cloris Leachman off the show; and Brooke Burke has scarcely been challenged from week to week.

Still, reality TV gods, please tell us a certain rumor regarding the series won't come true. It's the top story in today's rundown of unscripted television news:

  • Attention-hungry, irresponsible mother Dina Lohan (pictured) hints at a Dancing with the Stars run.
  • Bravo will air The Fashion Show some time in 2009.
  • Publicity shots of The City are already underway.
  • Julianne Hough's return to Dancing with the Stars is uncertain.
