DWTS Offseason Update: 5-26-06

A possible new job for Tom. An update from Max. And some new Season 3 rumors.

Bergeron the Front Runner for GMA Job
As soon as Charles Gibson announced that he'd be leaving Good Morning America to anchor World News Tonight, Tom Bergeron became the most likely candidate to fill the GMA vacancy. But according to The Boston Herald, Tom isn't willing to trade his duties as host of DWTS and America's Funniest Videos for a daily 3 a.m. wake-up call.

Max Is Back
After an especially busy month, including his appearances on GMA last week, Maksim Chmerkovskiy posted an update at his official forum. He's finishing up a fitness DVD, and he's even working on a project with Donald Trump. The Donald's going to remove all of the labels from his unsold bottles of Trump Ice water and relabel them "Max Ice."

Stacy's Partner in Crime
If you're interested in learning more about Stacy Keibler's boyfriend, he's got a role in the Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughan film The Break-Up.

Another DWTS 3 Candidate
According to an interview with The Edmonton Sun, DWTS producers approached Vanessa Anne Hudgens to fill one of the celebrity spots on Season 3. The 18-year-old actress, who stars on the Disney Channel show High School Musical, turned down the offer to participate.

This is pure speculation, but don't be surprised if the Disney-owned ABC network tries to pull talent from its cable affiliate. One of the Disney Channel's teen stars would be the perfect match for a young pro dancer that producers would be wise to invite for next season: Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
