Carrie Ann Inaba: Being Over 40 Is Fabulous
Carrie Ann Inaba says just because she's in her 40s doesn't mean life is over.
"I don't look at myself as done, I look at myself as halfway through," the 41-year-old Dancing with the Stars judge tells PEOPLE. "I appreciate my vitality and what life has given me.”
Inaba, whose relationship with dancer Artem Chigvintsev ended last November, says, "Right now, I'm single and happy. I think it's easy for people in their 40s to feel like they've fallen behind something. What that something is I really don't know. [life] might be better because at 40 you know a lot more about a lot of things."
Inaba tapped into her inner youth when she filmed a guest-starring role for Hannah Montana. On the episode, which airs on the Disney Channel March 8, Inaba plays a choreographer who comes in to help Miley Cyrus's character prepare for an upcoming tour.
Inaba, a former In Living Color Fly Girl, even got to showcase her own moves. "Miley and I do a little dancing together," she says. "It made me feel like a kid again."
As for working with one of the hottest teens stars in Hollywood, Inaba says, "Miley was so kind and loving. She helped me out, too. In this one scene I was facing upstage and she was like, 'Carrie, you might want to face this way.' "
Inaba will be back in the judge's seat when Dancing with the Stars returns on March 9.

Source: Bachelor’s Melissa Rycroft to Join Dancing With the Stars
Jilted by Jason Mesnick on the season finale of The Bachelor, Melissa Rycroft will rebound nicely — on Dancing With the Stars, PEOPLE has learned.
Rycroft, 25, is to fill the slot vacated by Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell, who had to withdraw from the competition on March 5 due to a knee injury. According to a source close to the production, the Dallas beauty, who has had only days to rehearse, is expected to perform live on Dancing’s Monday premiere.
Girl Next Door Holly Madison is believed to be taking over for singer Jewel, who also withdrew due to injury. Both Jewel and O’Dell have expressed their desire to return to the ballroom in the future.
A spokesperson for ABC declined to comment.

TARAsia Fan:
I agree. They need to fill spots at the last second and that's the best ABC could find.
marigold:
Oddly, I think Melissa would be better paired with Dmitry and Holly with Toni but if DWTS doesn’t plan on changing the couples:
Jewel’s Voting Numbers were 800-86834-07 800-VOTE4-07 TEXT IN CODE 3407
( To be replaced for Holly )
Nancy’s Voting Numbers were 800-86834-13 800-VOTE4-13 TEXT IN CODE 3413
( To be replaced for Melissa )
