I noted on a previous occasion that Leah Remini has been handling her departure from Scientology, which was on anything but amicable terms, according to reports, with amazing grace and diplomacy. However, chances are she will have to answer some questions about it soon enough.

TMZ reports that the actress is included in the lineup for the upcoming season of ABC’s hit dancing competition Dancing With the Stars.

Official confirmation is still pending though, so don’t get your hopes up just yet.

“Leah Remini is going from Dianetics to disco... TMZ has learned, the famous ex-Scientologist will appear in the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, and Snooki will be making her post-pregnancy debut along with her,” the celebrity e-zine writes.

TMZ cites “sources close to the production” for this. Yesterday, it also ran a piece claiming that actress Valerie Harper, who is fighting a very rare and incurable form of brain cancer, will also be on the show.
