Dancing With the Stars Judge Announces Upcoming Summer Wedding

Dancing With the Stars' judge Carrie Ann Inaba is planning a summer beach wedding to her boyfriend, accountant Jesse Sloan.With the premiere of Season 12 of Dancing with the Stars just around the corner, it appears there will be plenty to discuss once the contestants hit the dance floor. With buzz already increasing around this season's cast and its alleged lack of star power, one of the judges has stepped up and already made this season just a little more interesting. Carrie Ann Inaba announced that she is planning a summer beach wedding to her boyfriend and she seems thrilled about the upcoming event.

"I do a one-hour workout called Drenched, a cardio-boxing fitness routine, Monday through Friday," said Inaba, who was once an In Living Color Fly Girl. "When I can, I take two classes back-to-back." Carrie Ann has always been the happy cutie among the judges' panel on the smash hit dance contest. And while she will provide biting criticism from time to time, her soft touch is needed to balance out the over-the-top criticism from the two male judges on the panel, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman.

It's a certainty that everyone on set will have some fun with Carrie Ann once the season gets started. At least until the on-set drama becomes all about the dancers themselves. Season 11 of DWTS was one of its most successful ever, with constant drama surrounding the longevity of Bristol Palin's run on the show, coupled with the feel-good energy of Jennifer Grey's performances.

Season 12 is already facing a bit of an uphill battle, but once the shows start new fan favorites will emerge, even if they're not the biggest stars in the world.
