Dancing With The Stars Snags Queen Latifah And Tiffani Thiessen

Update – Queen Latifah may be adding Dancing with the Stars to her resume. It’s no secret that while ABC’s DWTS has maintained a steady fan base, viewers were getting more than tired of the D+ plus ranked stars. ABC vowed to signed on some big names – and they have just pulled it off. While reality TV stars will still make up the majority like Rob Kardashian, Snooki from Jersey Shore, Kristin Cavallari of The Hills big names like Queen Latifah and Tiffany Thiessen (formely of Saved by the Bell, currently of USA’s Network hit “White Collar”) will bring in some much needed star power. Tiffani recently gave birth to her first child and she’s enjoying a resurgence in her career with White Collar. Queen Latifah has remained a staple in Hollywood for some time.

The official list will be released on August 29th. Will you watch Queen Latifah on Dancing with the Stars?

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
