Former Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars contestant Melissa Rycroft has signed on to be a special correspondent with Entertainment Tonight, her rep has confirmed.
Rycroft, 26, will cover parties, award shows and premiers. Her first assignment for ET was a “We Are The World” recording session in Los Angeles.
