There's no official word on when Bruce Jenner's sex change operation might take place, but several sources have claimed the former Olympian is planning to go under the knife this summer.
Now, Radar Online is reporting that once the surgery is complete, Bruce plans to share his new identity with the world in a memorable way - by competing on Dancing With the Stars!
"Bruce wants his debut as a woman to be big, and there is no better platform than going on Dancing With the Stars," one source claims. "He's taking a cue from Chaz Bono. Bruce was so impressed with how he handled himself on that show."
While it's true that Chaz Bono competed on DWTS not long after undergoing gender reassignment, we'd still encourage you to take the Bruce rumor with a barrel of salt.
For one thing, Chaz wasn't 65 years old. Yes, at one point, Bruce was one of the world's greatest athletes, but that was a long, long time ago.
We're not sure if DWTS producers would accept any contestants in their mid-to-late 60s who had just undergone major surgery, even if they were a guaranteed ratings boon like Bruce would be.
For both of those reasons, we can't imagine that he would make the big reveal on DWTS. After all, the guy's been learning from master media manipulator Kris Jenner for decades now.
We're not saying Bruce will never compete on DWTS; just don't expect it to happen soon.
