Maria Menounos joins 'Dancing With Stars'

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Celebrity correspondent and actress Maria Menounos is getting her dancing shoes ready for the next season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," TMZ said.

Menounos will join fellow celebrities Melissa Gilbert, Jack Wagner and Sherri Shepherd on the 14th season of the competition, which hits the air next month.
