Sean Spicer To Judge Dancing Stars Gala In Tysons

TYSONS, VA—Sean Spicer was known for his quarrels with the media behind the podium at the White House, but would he be the Simon Cowell of dance judges? Guests at DC's Dancing Stars in Tysons will find out this weekend, as Spicer is one of the judges.

DC’s Dancing Stars Gala is a fundraising event based off "Dancing with the Stars." Local DC celebrities will pair up with a professional partner from Fred Astaire Fairfax in a competition mirroring the television show. The gala will be held at the Tysons Sheraton Hotel Saturday, Nov. 11. Tickets start at $195.

Spicer and the other celebrity judges along with the audience will choose the winner, who will get $10,000 for the charity of their choice. He will be joined by "Dancing With the Stars" cast member Chelsie Hightower and The Washington Ballet's artistic director Julie Kent, making him the only non-dancer judge.

So why pick Spicer?

Since resigning from the White House in July after Anthony Scaramucci became White House communications director, he has been no stranger to the entertainment industry. He made a surprise appearance at the Emmy's, poking fun at his infamous tirade about President Trump's inauguration crowd size.

He also reportedly turned down a stint on "Dancing With the Stars" in August, according to TMZ. A source told the entertainment news site, “He’s not a good dancer."

Well, he'll get to judge dance moves of other people. Or at least the crowd size.
