DWTS: Fans Are Losing It Over Those Hannah Brown and Jessica Simpson Cast Rumors

From Oprah Magazine

• While nothing will be confirmed until Wednesday, August 21, the excitement is ramping up around the season 28 cast of Dancing with the Stars.

• Earlier this week, rumors began to swirl that The Bachelorette's Hannah Brown will be a contestant. And now, a new promotional image has fans thinking Jessica Simpson is on board, too.

The official Dancing with the Stars Instagram account has teased us for days with smartly-cropped photos that hint at the season 28 cast. And while ABC is officially announcing the lineup on Good Morning America this Wednesday, August 21, rumors haven't stopped swirling about who we'll see dancing on stage.

According to E! News and Us Weekly, The Bachelorette's Hannah Brown is reportedly interested in joining the cast—a rumor that could very much prove to be true since former Bachelor and Bachelorette stars have moved on to appear on the competition series.

Trista Sutter, Melissa Rycroft, Jake Pavelka, Sean Lowe, Chris Soules, Nick Viall, and "Grocery Store" Joe Amabile have all found themselves cha-cha-ing with the hopes of making their way to the top. Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, fans pretty much lost their minds when the news broke that she could be doing the samba alongside some pretty famous folks.

Additionally, fans now think Jessica Simpson—who have birth to a baby girl in March—is also joining thanks to a recent 'gram with a photo of Texas on it, her home state. One user also pointed out that the makeup brushes and stylish accessories in the image double as a hint, since she has her own fashion line.

Fans, of course, couldn't help but express excitement.

Other potential cast mates that fans have tossed around? Queer Eye's Karamo Brown. One promotional photo includes a computer screen covered in images of bomber jackets, a Florida A&M University flag, and a framed quote that reads, “It’s all fun and games until you enter the real world." The caption says, “Decode the clues! You might be a cultural genius if you can guess who this star is. #DWTS."

Uh, well, Brown has a line of bomber jackets, attended Florida A&M University, and was on The Real World.

Other photos have fans throwing out the names of celebs such as Dance Moms's Abby Lee Miller, Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles, retired NFL player Rob Gronkowski and his girlfriend Camille Kostek, and gymnast Katelyn Ohashi.

We can't wait to see who officially made the cut!
