Will Joey Lawrence Be the Next Stacy Keibler?

Posted Aug 7th 2006 2:41PM by TMZ Staff

With the power to make household names out of relative unknowns like Kelly Monaco and Stacy Keibler and to reignite the careers of dwindling wattage celebs like Lisa Rinna and John O'Hurley, getting cast on "Dancing with the Stars" has become the hottest ticket in Hollywood.

TMZ has learned that retired NFL running back Emmitt Smith and former child star Joey Lawrence are the latest "stars" to jump aboard the ABC groove train and will shake their moneymakers on the TV juggernaut this fall.

While ABC won't confirm the final roster, Vivica A. Fox has gone on record saying she has already been cast.

And rumors have swirled that former "Saved by the Bell" star Mario Lopez and Mr. Lisa Rinna himself, Harry Hamlin, will also be on hand to Cha Cha Cha into America's living rooms.

Check out the latest Mambo kings and queens when the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" premieres on September 12.

UPDATE:
TMZ has just learned that Shanna Moakler from MTV's "Meet the Barkers" has been added to the lineup.

16. I don't want to discourage Joey, but to encourage him. His chances of rebuilding his career is just as good as anyone else. He just needs to focus on masculinity and lose the earring. He has a good image, which doesn't carry a lot of weight in his line of work, but he shouldn't give up nor give in in-spite of negative talk. He must prioritize and focus on his manly side and maintain his good reputation.

18. Obviously Tamora is a racist... who cares what nationality Mario Lopez is. If you think he's not good looking then fine, that is your opinion, but there is absolutely no need to say "Mario Lopez is an ugly Mexican." Have a little respect for yourself and your fellow human beings and learn some class...

And I agree with RWA, great post! Kelly Monaco is definitely far from being an "unknown."

19. Never liked Joey L. with that mushroom haircut from the 90s and those giant Brooke Shields eyebrows, but he's looking hot in that photo!

Shana? Maybe she should try to save her marriage instead of trying to become a C-list celebrity.

And Mario is an American BTW, not a Mexican.

23. So many negative comments! Mario Lopez is, and always will be HOT!! Joe Lawrence is a cutie from way back!

24. Shanna Moakler is hot, it will be fun watching her and seeing whether or not she knows how to dance. Her ex-travis barker filed for divorce. Now she has 3 kids from 2 different men. Looks like a lot of different last names in that family. :(
