Wasn't Lisa Rinna's husband rumored to be doing Dancing? Hamlin?

I'm pretty sure Harry Hamlin already did Dancing with the Stars a couple of seasons ago.

Harry Hamlin did Dancing the season after his wife Lisa Rinna. He didn't do as well, though.

Ok, I actually REALLY tried to find out who the hell was rumored to possibly do DWTS....and actually, the only one I could find was Jason Priestly. And Luke Perry, but not sure if that was a joke (it was on some stupid message board).

For some reason, I'm just throwing this out there for no good reason, Wayne Brady came to mind. He's divorced....but maybe was dating someone?

I love this phrase! I'm going to have to start using this one!

I'm down with the Priestley guess.

Brendan Fraser is not gay and broke.

Maybe not today... He was rumored to be the actor in that Hollywood therapist article, right?

Jason Priestly is a good guess. There was a rumor many years ago that he got his start in Hollywood bent over some producer's desk.

I don't think it's Jason Priestley. The BI sounds like the couple's been split for at least a while (e.g., "he was the one walking"). Here's a pic of Jason, wife and baby last month.

After seeing that nasty Gene Simmon's tape clip this week I would just LOVE if it was him. I'm sure he isn't broke or gay....... I just wish he was!

I like this guess because no one would really care if he was gay; although, he has completed 2 recent projects and is in production on one according to imdb. Don't know if that would necessarily qualify. Looks like he's been steadily working little things throughout the years since MWC.

I think it certainly makes sense. He was married to his ex-wife, Shiva Rose, for more than 10 years, which is an eternity in Hollywood.

#1: they had a really long relationship, i guess 10+, which would also mean, he's older than we think at the moment.
#2: the separation doesn't seem to be long ago
#3: I think if it would have been a wifey, Lainey would have mentioned it... no?
#4: he was the one walking - Hulk Hogan is off the hook
#5: she's not known as a celeb
#6: no one cares - see clue #1 - different target group - he's older and his best days are over.

IMO, it's not Priestley nor Luke Perry... Mulroney on the other hand... hm, don't know about that...

Update from Lainey:

PPS. Sean Penn – not gay and broke. Not Babyface Edmonds either. Or Eddie Murphy – that marriage didn’t last very long, and it wasn’t legal either. Also not Tate Donovan who probably is broke by Hollywood standards but is definitely not gay. He hasn't carried anything on his own either.

"that marriage didn't last very long" means we should be looking at not just long-term relationships but long marriages. "hasn't carried anything on his own" I would think signifies that he was a definite star at one time, whether movie, TV, or singing

So Dylan McDermott fits until Lainey rules him out. Was the star of The Practice, not currently doing anything, long marriage, would being gay affect his career (probably not).

She seems to be writing these a little more vaguely these days. Holiday Detox was Liv Tyler & she's married. Lainey used 'partner' in the blind.

Lawyers & publicists are such a pain...

I don't watch DWTS, so honestly I had no idea.

[sparkly]

I still think this is Jason Priestley. Someone on here mentioned the kid that played on Married with Children, but I don't think it's him since he's out with women who look like models everytime he's photographed.
