The Hollywood guessing game as to who will replace injured Nancy O’Dell on tomorrow’s Season 8 premiere of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars is really heating up. In fact, the rumor mill is in solid overdrive.

No sooner last night did rumblings start that Molly Ringwald, who is appearing in the ABC Family Network series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, than six hours later it was knocked down because she is reportedly expecting twins in August.

Now this morning the Tinseltown gossip mill has jilted bachelorette Melissa Rycroft as the newest contender! Bachelor and single father Jason Mesnick chose the 25-year-old beauty on The Bachelor’s season finale last week, then cast her aside for the runner-up -- and his actions stunned and shocked TV viewers across America.

But now it seems as if the 25-year-old Dallas beauty has kicked up her heels and will celebrate her new TV assignment by dancing with the stars tomorrow night! Check back here at Vegas DeLuxe tomorrow evening for the full replacement rundown!
