Cuban dancer
Mavs owner to participate in 'Dancing With The Stars'

By Chris Mannix, SI.com

LAS VEGAS -- Following in the illustrious footsteps of athletes Apolo Ohno, Clyde Drexler and Laila Ali, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will become the next cast member of Dancing With the Stars, a source told SI.com.

Cuban is the latest celebrity to join the wildly popular ABC reality show, based on the British BBC series Strictly Come Dancing. The new series will also reportedly feature former 90210 star Jennie Garth, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and singer Wayne Newton.

The show features 10 couples competing in ballroom dancing in an elimination format. A celebrity is paired with a professional dancer, and their performances are live each week. Viewers and judges vote off one couple each week.

The seventh series of Dancing With the Stars airs September 24.

good god, why does he constantly invite ridicule upon himself?

[CubanMustGo]

And, umm, why does SI compare him with athletes? I didn't know stuffing hotdogs down your gob at Mavs games counted as an athletic activity.

[LakeShow]

I wonder who his partner will be? Dirkie maybe? :)

[duncan228]

Jeez...Forbes has his net worth at $1.8 billion.
I can't even get my mind around that kind of money.

[angel_luv]

You have got to be kidding! And who considers Cuban a celebrity?

He'll probably get beat by someone with no legs.

[Lp26]

Am i the only one who thinks this is the best thing ever?!

The pure entertainment value alone . . .

We need to have Watching live posts :lol

[duncan228]

Does anyone know if he can actually dance? Not that I care, I'm trying to understand why he's doing this.

Is this all about publicity only?

I haven't found anything that he's said concerning it.

[CubanMustGo]

HelLO, Markie is all about the PR. And he prolly thinks he can win, too. Computer dorks didn't get a lot of dates when I was in college, doubt he's done a lot of dancing unless his wife made him change.

is the pope catholic?

Agreed. Cuban = out in the first round

[u2sarajevo]

Does anyone know if he can actually dance?Supposedly he was a dance teacher pre-broadcast.com days.

I predict this is going to be epic embarrassment. Does he not remember Jenga?

[duncan228]

I guess any publicity is good publicity for him.

[50 cent]

He loves making an ass out of himself on national TV.

:lmao

[Switchman]

Wayne Newton what a fluke.

He lip syncs all of his shit nowadays.

I bet Cuban wins. Book it.

[MajorMike]

You know, I didn't know until recently that it was Wayne Newton who sang the original "Danke Schoen"

[Dirk Nowitzki]

WHY??? :cry :rolleyes

[duncan228]

You know, I didn't know until recently that it was Wayne Newton who sang the original "Danke Schoen"

I try not to remember him singing it at All Star in Vegas. :lol

[angel_luv]

I try not to remember him singing it at All Star in Vegas. :lol


You and me both.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

He loves making an ass out of himself on national TV.

:lmaoYep.
The Benefactor.
2006 Finals
2007 1st round Playoffs
Now this.

He'd be good in Intervention.

[angel_luv]

I actually liked the Benefactor and Cuban in it.

[CubanMustGo]

I actually liked the Benefactor and Cuban in it.

Speaking of Intervention ... a die-hard Spurs fan saying they liked Cuban ... say it ain't so, Angel! :nope :dizzy













:lol

[thispego]

You know, I didn't know until recently that it was Wayne Newton who sang the original "Danke Schoen"
yeah, he sounds like a chick right?

[ashbeeigh]

This is the only chance he'll have at winning anything. Sad day.

[ShoogarBear]

I heard they just signed Larry Craig to be his partner.

:lol


I was in an unhappy living situation- my judgment at the time was not to be trusted. :lol
I no longer like Cuban.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I heard they just signed Larry Craig to be his partner.
To they do the show live? Because I'd love to see how ABC will stall for time when those two take a bathroom break.

[ShoogarBear]

stall for timeRepeated because I know you're too obtuse to realize how funny this was.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Repeated because I know you're too obtuse to realize how funny this was.
Damn, that's deep. I'm a smart ass on levels that I don't fully understand. Good catch, Shoog.

[yourcheatinheart]

my money's on Floyd Jr.

[MrChug]

How long till he whines about the judging?

[Cry Havoc]

good god, why does he constantly invite ridicule upon himself?

When you have the kind of cashflow he does, I'm not sure he cares.

"Hey! You! In the Lamborghini! You can't dance well!"

[Switchman]

Think how competitive he is. I still say he wins. He is worth $1.8 Billion. I'm sure he quit caring what people think of him after the first hundred mil or so.

[B and P Cats]

Wayne Newton is going to dance? :lol :lol Somehow it doesn't fit with him.

If Cuban can apply himself like most athletes do on that show, he MIGHT win. I don't watch it regularly, but enough to know that Ohno won and Emmitt won, but they were able to apply their athleticism to the dance floor like they do to sports.

I'd really like to see the guy from "That 70's Show" do the dance competition. What was his name. Fez, or something like that? He looks really good. But then he would probably blow everyone away.

[Dalhoop]

I think that its time for a female winner, I think Scary Spice will win. of the crop of men, I like Helio. Somewhere in him there should be some latin blood :)

I think that Cuban will make it to the middle rounds.

[monosylab1k]

I think Scary Spice will win.
didn't she get fat? i thought i saw a pic of her and she was all TPark lookin.

[LEONARD]

Cubes will add comedy to the show... :fro

[duncan228]

My local newspaper called Cuban a "Goofish Billionaire" in their column announcing this.
