Toni Braxton: Ready To 'Dance' Again?

By Karu F. Daniels, BlackVoices.com

Toni Braxton seems to be getting back into the swing of things.

Or at least her name is.

The Grammy Award winning singer, whose long running Las Vegas show hit the skids due to health problems earlier this year, is reportedly getting ready to appear in the new season of the hit ABC dancing competition, 'Dancing with the Stars.'

Reps for the network are remaining tight-lipped with media outlets trying to confirm whether the 'Unbreak My Heart' singer will be featured, alongside porn star/'Playboy' magazine covergirl/reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Although the official line-up for the 'Dancing with the Stars' will be announced on 'Good Morning America' on August 25, usually the early buzz about featured celebrities turns out to be dead on.

'TMZ.com' cited sources saying that the former LaFace Records singer "will put on her dancing shoes for the show this season."

A rep for the Braxton, 40, could not be reached by deadline.

The fourth season of the show begins on Sept. 22.

3. It seems like washed up celebrities use this show in an attempt to revitalize their careers and try to stay relevant.

4. Toni Braxton is great but I'm surprised she'll be able to do the show. After just recently cancelling her Las Vegas work due to health issues, it seems weird to be able to dance.

5. Kim will be voted off immediately. After all, the show requires her to do her to work her legs and hips standing up. Not on her back!

8. I hope it works out as well. She's would be an attribute to the show. She got the goods and would do well.

11. Well Braxton should be another ringer in the DWTS line up. A singer who has a lot of stage dance experience. Come on producers, I am sure you can look around and find people without that type of experience. According to all the news, people are jumping at the chance to be on the show, so why get the ones who are obviously ringers?

12. Now this is big news (yawwwwnnnnn!...still yawwwnnning!!!)

13. Just what the show doesn't need....a used-up tart. It's a sad day when Kim K. can't get work with Hustler or the porn industry. LOL.

14. If anybody wants to get 40% to 60 % more out of a tank of gas you have to add a hydrogen cell to your vehicle. Do a search on hydrogen or Run Your Car On
Water and include YouTube. Happy motoring!
