Dancing Queen Cloris Leachman to Grand Marshal Rose Parade

Cloris Leachman's Dancing moves may not be paying off in her scores so far, but they could get another go-around in next year's Rose Parade.

The Dancing with the Stars contestant, 82, has been named grand marshal of the annual event; She'll helm the 120th Tournament of the Roses January 1 in Pasadena, says the AP.

Leachman — never one to hold back — is thrilled about marshalling a parade that, as she said, "is older than I am."

Will her new appointment put some extra spice in her Dancing steps in the weeks to come? We can only hope!
