Monday it was announced that child rapper/actor turned college basketball player Romeo and radio/daytime talk show personality Wendy Williams will join the cast of ABC’s “Dancing with The Stars” for the show’s twelfth season.
Williams rose to fame as an on-air personality for New York’s 98.7 “Kiss” FM and later at WQHT “Hot” 97.1. In addition to being voted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, Williams wrote the New York Times bestseller Wendy’s Got The Heat. Wendy Williams is currently the host of her self-titled daytime talk show on BET.
Romeo made his name as the son of No Limit founder Percy “Master P.” Miller. He released the platinum-selling Lil Romeo album in 2002. Master P and Romeo would go on to star in the Nickelodeon sitcom “Romeo!” from 2003 through 2006. Romeo is currently a sophomore shooting guard for the University of Southern California’s basketball team.
In addition to Williams and Miller, former Heavyweight boxing champion “Sugar” Ray Leonard, former Playboy reality television star Kendra Wilkinson, All-Pro NFL Wide Receiver Hines Ward and a cast of mostly former stars will round out the “Dancing with the Stars” lineup. Previous seasons of the show have included Master P and Lil Kim.
