In the wake of report on Rumer Willis joining "Dancing with the Stars" season 20, a new additional contestant has just been named, Michael Sam. The openly gay NFL player has signed on to be part of the reality dancing competition's upcoming season.

TMZ broke the news, claiming Sam might have difficulties managing his time between participating on the dancing show, which will be kicked off on March 16, and "taking part in the first-ever veteran's combine on March 22." No comment just yet from either the athlete himself or the people behind "DWTS" on his recruitment as one of the contestants.

Editors' Pick

It was only late last week that Rumer Willis was photographed having dance practice with Valentin Chmerkovskiy at the Millennium Dance Complex in Studio City, California. The two thus prompted rumors of them being partners at the upcoming season. The official full cast of "DWTS", meanwhile, would be announced Tuesday, February 24.
