Carole Baskin | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Carole Baskin is going to be hitting the ballroom soon – and the 59-year-old Tiger King star is keeping in theme!

The contender on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars will be making her entrance to Survivor’s 1982 hit, “Eye of the Tiger,” nodding to her Netflix hit series, she confirmed to E! News.

“I was just approved yesterday to release that we are doing ‘Eye of the Tiger,’ so I’m very excited about that,” she revealed.

“I’m actually sitting in my car outside of costuming right now. And I gave them the instructions that no fur, no feathers, no leather, and anything else,” she added.

She also expressed her love for a similar big cat!

“Leopards gives me the most inspiration because they manage to do everything by using the absolute least amount of energy necessary to achieve their goals,” she explained.

The upcoming season premieres on Monday (September 14) on ABC. Carole Baskin just met this contestant for the first time at the studio!

The 39-year-old real estate agent and actress met fellow contestant Carole Baskin for the first time at the event!

Chrishell stars on the reality series Selling Sunset while Carole is one of the subjects of the docu-series Tiger King. Both shows were big hits for Netflix this year!

“So THIS just happened,” Chrishell captioned a photo of them together. She added a lion emoji, though she probably meant to add the tiger emoji!

The Netflix Twitter account simply replied to the tweet by saying, “omg.”

The upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC on September 14 and there will be a brand new judge this year!

There have been many impressions of Carole Baskin since she came to more fame through Tiger King, but there’s one in particular that the conservationist just isn’t a fan of.

Speaking on Dennis Quaid‘s podcast, The Pet Show, Carole shared that she’d like to “slap” Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman for her version.

“I could just slap that woman! [Laughs],” she shared. “This whole, ‘My kitty, meow, meow, kitty, meow, and then she would just say these really weird words all in a row…”

Carole continued, “That all became popular, I guess, in popular culture and people wanted me to talk like that on the Cameos. And I’m like, ‘I have no idea how to talk like that. That is not how I speak.”

Another woman impersonating Carole came out with a music video with “Here Kitty Kitty,” which was written by Joe Exotic, and the lyrics accuse Carole of murdering her former husband, Don Lewis, who went missing in 1997.

“That’s been the weird thing on Cameo, every…well, I shouldn’t say everybody, but so many people want me to sing,” she adds. “I’m like, ‘I was not the person pretending to sing in that show. That was somebody else pretending to sing. I didn’t even pretend to sing. I don’t sing.’ And yet, that became, ‘she sings’ and I don’t know how that connection was made.”

Additionally, Carole also spoke about Kate McKinnon, who will portray a version of her in an upcoming television series.

“[Kate] has not reached out to me and I really hope that she does before she gets too far down the line with it,” she says. “I’d love to know what her take is on it and what she’s thinking to do and see if there was any way we could advise her.”

Carole adds, “We reached out to her through the media — because I don’t have any way of contacting Kate McKinnon — but we had posted publicly that we really hope that her or anybody that does any kind of follow-up programming doesn’t end up doing what Cardi B did and hiring people that are exploiting and abusing cats. It’s like the worst thing you can do is abuse cats to show other people that you shouldn’t abuse cats.”

See when and where the Tiger King series will debut…

Stay tuned for more Dancing With The Stars intel!

Carole Baskin, who starred in Netflix’s Tiger King and went viral shortly after over people thinking she killed her first husband, took issue with the “WAP” music video over the use of big cats.

Now, Cardi B is responding, and it’s epic!

“I’m not gonna engage with Carole Baskin on that,” Cardi B told i-D. “Like, that’s just ridiculous you know? Oh, Lord. Like, girl you killed your goddamn husband.”

And if you missed it, be sure to find out the exact meaning of “WAP” and what the acronym stands for.

Carole didn’t seem to love the fame she received after Tiger King and actually received death threats over her story line in the docu-series.

Carole Baskin has been awarded control over the zoo that was operated by Joseph Maldonado-Passage, who is known as Joe Exotic.

The Oklahoma zoo, G.W. Exotic Animal Memorial Park, has been under the control of Jeff Lowe, but now Baskin has been granted control by a judge, according to Fox 25.

It was reported that the zoo was fraudulently transferred to Joe Exotic‘s mother years ago to keep it out of reach from creditors, including Baskin‘s Big Cat Rescue.

Lowe now has 120 days to vacate the premises and remove all of his animals from the property.

The Netflix documentary series Tiger King explored the rivalry between Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic and how he went to jail for allegedly plotting to kill her. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison back in 2019 after being convicted for paying a hitman $3,000 to kill Baskin.

Tara Reid is reportedly in the running to play Carole Baskin in an upcoming film adaptation of the Netflix documentary series Tiger King.

The 44-year-old actress is best known for her work in the American Pie movies and the Sharknado film series.

There are several Tiger King projects in the works and it’s not clear which one Tara is being considered for.

“We are in talks with the producers and she is being considered, that is all I can say at the moment as casting is on hold,” Philippe Ashfield, Reid’s manager and business partner, told The Post.

He added, “Tara loves Tiger King and found the documentary extremely interesting. She feels she could get into the character of Carole Baskin very well … and she has a similar look to [Baskin].”
