Dancing star Toni Braxton
Tuesday, 12 August 2008
Toni Braxton and Kim Kardashian are reportedly set to appear in the new series of US TV talent show 'Dancing with the Stars'.
The 'Unbreak My Heart' singer and the curvy socialite are two of the celebrities who will be testing their skills on the dancefloor when the fourth season of the show begins on September 22.
A show insider told In Touch Weekly magazine: "The cast is eclectic and diverse - we've got young, old, gay, straight, dance professionals and people who've never danced before.
"Some of the cast are already starting to work out and train, even though they won't meet their dance partners for a few more weeks. It's shaping up to be the most fun season yet!"
When rumours first emerged of Kim taking part in the show, the 27-year-old beauty said: "I don't know where the rumours are coming from, I can't really comment on that. But I would be honoured if they asked me."
The show will be Toni's first job since she was forced to cancel a string of Las Vegas shows earlier this year after being hospitalised with chest pains.
While the exact cause of Toni's hospitalisation was not revealed, the 40-year-old Grammy award winner has previously suffered from Pericarditis - a viral inflammation of the heart.
The official line-up for the 'Dancing with the Stars' will be announced on US TV show 'Good Morning America' on August 25.
