According to good ol’ TMZ, actress and Single Ladies producer Queen Latifah will be showing off her ballroom dancing skills on the dancefloor of Dancing with the Stars:

Queen Latifah and Snooki will sign on to do the next season of “Dancing with the Stars” … sources connected with the show tell TMZ. And, show sources tell us, Tiffani Thiessen will also be a contestant. As TMZ has already told you, Rob Kardashian will also compete.

Who would you love to see on the dancefloor? Personally, I don’t know who I’d want on that show…ABC’s Dancing with the Stars is set to air LIVE on September 19, 2011….

SINGLE LADIES GET HIGH VIEWER RATING

Speaking of Queen Latifah and Single Ladies, sadly the first season of the VH1 television series came to an end earlier this week. On the brighter side, the show did very well and raked in 3.3 viewers during the season finale episode!

At 9:00PM*, the season finale of VH1’s first hour-long scripted series “Single Ladies ” also drew a season high impressive 1.4 rating in the key P18-49 demo and 2.2 million total viewers. When combined with its 11PM* encore, “Single Ladies” drew in 3.3 million total viewers. Across its movie and eight premieres, “Single Ladies” averaged 2.9 million total viewers for premiere and first encores.

That’s a good look! Single Ladies will be returning in 2012 and filming will begin very soon. If you missed the season finale or have yet to see the show, head on over to SingleLadies.VH1.com to watch the entire season. Congrats to the Queen and her team!
