Former contestants Melissa Rycroft (l.) and Brooke Burke are in the running to co-host 'Dancing with the Stars' after the exit of Samantha Harris.
 
The producers of "Dancing with the Stars" are doing the hustle.
They're racing to find a co-host before the celeb dance contest kicks off its new season on March 22, according to Us Weekly.
Samantha Harris announced late last month that she wouldn't be back for the spring season of ABC's popular prime-time dance contest.
She called "DWTS" a "dream job" and said she "loved every single second of it."
But she wanted new challenges, including at her gig as a correspondent on "The Insider."
The short list to replace Harris, according to Us, includes Melissa Rycroft, who was a contestant on "DWTS" on season 8, Vanessa Minnillo, who's hosted various TV shows, and season 7 "DWTS" winner Brooke Burke.
A wild-card possibility is Kelly Osbourne, who turned heads and was very popular as a contestant on the show last fall, coming in third after winner Donny Osmond and runner-up Mya.
"DWTS" is famous for making dancers rotate gracefully.
There's a chance, notes Us, that the show will use a revolving cast of guest hosts.
The all-star cast of the new season is set to be announced on March 1.
Ex-"Baywatch" babe Pamela Anderson, Olympic gold medalists Evan Lysacek and Greg Louganis and reality TV mom Kate Gosselin are rumored to be in the running to appear on the show.

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line Madonna is hoping to go from fashion icon to fashion mogul with her latest endeavor. The pop star and her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, are partnering on a junior fashion line called Material Girl, which will be sold exclusively at Macy's for back-to-school season, and although the clothes won't land in stores until Aug. 3, sketches were released Tuesday. The line is named after Madonna's 1984 hit song, and there are some similarities to the pop star's 1980s iteration — the (very) short skirt, the corset top, the layered jewelry. But the muse is Lourdes, or Lola as she is known, Madonna's daughter with trainer Carlos Leon. Material Girl will include apparel, footwear, jewelry and handbags, and items will range from $12 to $40. The first collection mixes hard and soft elements, "like a tutu dress and studded-combat boots, or an oversized boyfriend sweatshirt with a floral ...

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010  Just out and hot off the runway is Betsey Johnson's Runway Show Fall 2010 Ready To Wear Collection..... NEW YORK , February 14, 2010 By Alison Baenen   Betsey returned to the runway and—to prove her performance skills hadn't dulled—made sure all the high-camp high jinks of old were in place. Kelly Osbourne, looking model thin, came out first, walking on a hay-strewn surface. She exuberantly tore off the bandanna covering her face, and…Yee-haw! We found ourselves in the Wild Wild West. Johnson's inspiration this season was, modestly, 45 years' worth of her own archives. "I'm working on my stuff, being very true-blue Betsey," she said. Her signature gun prints were there in spades, accessorized with candy-bright plastic pistols; there were striped bodysuits and tutus. The models sashayed along in groups with monikers like Banditos, Madames, and Brothelettes, usually with one among their number clad in a sweater...
