Judd, Pickler join Dancing With the Stars
Wynonna appeared on "Good Morning America" today to help announce the cast for the 16th season of the show which launches Monday, March 18 at 8 p.m. eastern.
Judd was paired with professional dancing partner Tony Dovolani, last season's winning instructor. "I've been through an emotional roller coaster over the last year," said Judd, whose husband (and drummer) Cactus Moser lost his leg in an August motorcycle accident. "I focused on being a wife and a nurse for the last seven months, and now I'm doing something for myself. The main word for me this year is 'risk.' I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something that a lot of people tell me is crazy, but they get it."
When asked why she's doing this now, Judd told "Good Morning America," "I'm trying to get back to my original weight of 8 lbs and 15 oz...And because it's the year of doing things you're scared of...I mean, I'm scared to death." Asked about her favorite dance, WYNONNA says, "I love the tango. It is incredibly romantic and passion-filled. It is one of my favorite dances to watch."
Other performers will be comedian D.L. Hughley, Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones, restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump, comedian Andy Dick, boxer Victor Ortiz, actor Zendaya Coleman, gymnast Aly Raisman, actor Ingo Rademacher and former figure skating champ Dorothy Hammill.

CD reviews
High quality music found on Kellie Pickler's "The Woman I Am" evidences how the country singer's last album, "100 Proof," was no fluke. The title track, which Pickler co-wrote with husband Kyle Jacobs, explains how this woman will always have a whole lot of traditional country in her blood. "Sometimes I cry at night/Fall to pieces with Patsy Cline."
Many of this 12-song album's best material are also ones Pickler helped pen. They include the ...
Until now, Kellie Pickler has become known in country circles more for her bubbly, Dolly Parton-esque personality than for her singing. Granted, she has had some strong singles, notably the autobiographical I Wonder, but one could be forgiven for lumping her in the pile of most former American Idol contestants who hover in and around country music, but never really make an impact.
Somewhere after the release of her sophomore album, however, she started mentioning in interviews that she was ...
Wynonna is using the occasion of her 25 years in the music business to release a collection of music that has captured a significant memory in her life. She is hoping that it does the same for the listeners. The only problem is that often there isn't any special feeling that comes, either from her vocal presentation or from the musical arrangements.
