Former 'N Sync Star Joey Fatone Set for Dancing With the Stars  12/19/06

Former 'N Sync star Joey Fatone will join the next round of US celebrity reality competition Dancing With the Stars.

The Bye Bye Bye singer broke the news over the weekend (ends17DEC06), when he was interviewed by a radio station in Florida.

Fatone said producers had previously approached him three times about being on the show, but he declined - until now.

He explains his change of heart by saying, "Well, it's kind of popular now! I like doing it because it's challenging."

The hit show will return for a fourth season in March 2007.
