Although not confirmed by ABC, ET reports that VH1 talk show host Amber Rose will compete on the upcoming 23rd season of DANCING WITH THE STARS. The full cast will officially be announced on Tuesday August 30th on GMA.

While the site initially reported that Olympic gold medalist and fan fave Simone Biles would also be a contestant on the long running dance competition, Biles revealed on Tuesday that she will not be able to compete due to scheduling conflicts. "Well, I would love to [join DWTS], but the fall season won't work because [of] the tour," said the 19-year-old, who will be participating in Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions. "If I could do the spring season, I would love to do that!"

Yesterday, mirror ball champ Val Chmerkovskiy appeared on GOOD MORNING AMERICA to talk about the new season. "We're going to have an incredible cast, as always," said the 30-year-old "But I'm also excited for the pros. We have a lot of different pros coming back. Some pros from back, back in the day, so I'm excited."

Chmerkovskiy will be competing alongside his fellow DWTS vets Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Lindsay Arnold, Sasha Farber, Gleb Savchenko and Allison Holker.
