On Friday, TMZ reported the season's celebrity cast -- which ABC will officially announce Tuesday on Good Morning America -- will also include actress Melissa Gilbert, actor Jack Wagner and The View co-host Sherri Shepherd.
Menounos, a Boston native and New England Patriots fan, currently co-hosts Extra and generated headlines earlier this month when she wore a New York Giants bikini for the syndicated entertainment news program's February 6 broadcast to honor a Super Bowl bet she lost to correspondent A.J. Calloway.
Dancing with the Stars' fourteenth season will premiere Monday, March 19 at 8PM ET/PT with a two-hour broadcast and be followed by the edition's first one-hour results show on Tuesday, March 27 at 9PM ET/PT.
Prior to joining Extra last fall, Menounos served as a correspondent for Access Hollywood and NBC's Nightly News, Today and Dateline programs. In 2007, she also hosted NBC's Clash of the Choirs, a The Sing-Off-like reality competition for amateur choirs.
Mario Lopez currently co-hosts Extra with Menounos and finished second on Dancing with the Stars' third season with professional partner Karina Smirnoff in 2006. The pair subsequently dated for two years until splitting in 2008.
