There's one week left until fans of "Dancing With the Stars" will find out who will be competing for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. ABC will officially announce the full cast Mar. 4 on "Good Morning America" but there are rumors that the upcoming season will include a "Housewife" and "Full House" star.
According to E! News, several sources have confirmed that NeNe Leakes ("Real Housewives of Atlanta") and Candace Cameron Bure ("Full House") will compete in Season 18. Bure, 37, is known for her role as D.J. Tanner on the ABC show, which ended in 1995.
The mother of three has also written two books, one of them, titled "Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness," landing on the New York Times bestseller list. Leakes has been a "Real Housewife" since 2008 but also landed roles on "Glee" and "The New Normal."
There were also rumors that reality TV star and former Olympian Bruce Jenner was going to join the cast. A source told US Weekly that the 64-year-old is "dying to do ['Dancing With the Stars']."
"The show is close to locking him in," the source said.
Pop star Cody Simpson was also rumored as a contestant when he tweeted in December that the show had asked him to join Season 18. He told his Twitter followers that he would consider the offer and let them know what he decided.
"The Chew" co-host Carla Hall's name was also thrown around after she told dancing pro Cheryl Burke and Season 3 winner Emmitt Smith that she's always wanted to do the show.
"You guys, it's no secret I am dying to be on 'Dancing With the Stars,'" she said before grabbing Smith's hand and starting to dance with him.
Season 18 of "Dancing With the Stars" airs March 17 on ABC.
