*It would be a BIG ol’ ‘get’ as it’s known in entertainment business parlance. We’re talking singer/dancer Usher Raymond being signed by ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” to appear and compete on the show.
Yep, it would be a big one if it goes down and according to theJasmineBrand, that’s what going on. Sources tell the blog that Usher, 38, will be a member of the season 24 team of the hit dancing competition show.
The producers and network are keeping it top secret, but this is major! They wanted an A-lister and he’s one of the biggest names in the industry. Not to mention, Usher is an amazing dancer.
We hear that Usher has already began shooting promo for the show. The network and producers are still working on finalizing other big names for the new season.
In other news regarding Usher, we recently reported that the Atlanta resident, along with Tyrese and rapper Young Jeezy, helped the UNCF Atlanta Mayor’s Masked Ball raised more than $1.3 million for HBCU students, surpassing all other years since its founding in 1983. They, along with rapper Future, all pledged $25,000 each. You can get the full story here, at EURweb.
