Fans of "Dancing With The Stars" can expect the final roster of participants to be announced soon, but even with the short wait, the list of the rumored celebrity contestants for season 21 continues to grow.
For one, rumors about the participation of Caitlyn Jenner in the dance series refuse to die down despite the earlier statement of her rep that she is not interested in competing.
Former "DWTS" champion Alfonso Ribeiro talked to E! News and said that he is in the loop regarding the casting decisions made for the show. While news sites continue to link Jenner to the show, Ribeiro said that it would not push through.
"I don't think that's going to happen," the new host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" told E! He also added that he already "heard" the reports claiming that that the controversial reality show star is "not going to do it."
However, the former Mirror Ball trophy winner also dropped hints about who "DWTS" producer Deena Katz wanted to include in the lineup.
"The one that she wanted I couldn't get," he said. "She wanted Ricky Schroder and Ricky Schroder was like, 'Eh, I don't dance!'"
On the other hand, Kaitlyn Bristowe from "The Bachelorette" seems to be open to the idea. She also told E! that she thinks she could win if she joins the competition.
Meanwhile, another "Pretty Little Liars" star would also love to join the show after her co-star Janel Parrish had a remarkable stint in the show back in season 19. Canadian actress Shay Mitchell, known as Emily in the hit ABC Family suspense thriller, told her fans through her YouTube Q&A session that she is interested in joining the show.
"I would love to do 'Dancing with the Stars.' I love that show. I follow it every single season, as do my parents," the actress said.
Reports claim that the next set of celebrity contestants will be announced on Sept. 2 on "Good Morning America." This will finally set the records straight regarding the speculations about who will compete in the long-running dance reality competition.
"Dancing with the Stars" season 21 is slated to premiere on Sept. 14 on ABC.
