Reality TV porn star Kim Kardashian has been announced as one of the new Dancing With The Stars cast members. Maybe the DWTS casting agent used a Magic 8 Ball to determine the line-up for this season. Toni Braxton has a serious heart condition. Lance Bass always looks like he is in outer space . Cloris Leachman will be the oldest contestant in the history of the show. The Oscar Winning actress Leachman is most famous recently for her performance at the Bob Saget Roast. Watch the Comedy Central Roast video if you missed it.
Soap Opera actress Susan Lucci is a big daytime Emmy Award loser.
The rumors were partly true: Lance Bass will be among the celeb hoofers on the forthcoming seventh season of Dancing With the Stars.
His pro partner, however—much to the chagrin of the blogging public, if not outspoken pro Karina Smirnoff—will be of the fairer persuasion.
Bass leads the roster of 13 for the latest installment of ABC's hot-stepping hit, a group of contestants cobbled together from the worlds of music, acting, reality TV and, in a bit of perfect timing, Olympic-caliber sport.
Here's the full list:
- Former 'N Syncer Lance Bass; pro partner Lacey Schwimmer
- Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and socialite/boutique owner Kim Kardashian; pro partner Mark Ballas
- Grammy winner Toni Braxton, who just cut her Vegas show short due to heart problems; pro partner Alec Mazo
- Retired NFL defensive lineman Warren Sapp; pro partner Kym Johnson
- Toast of Beijing and one-half of Team USA's two-time Olympic gold medalist beach volleyball team, Misty May-Treanor; pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy
- All My Children's resident daytime diva Susan Lucci; pro partner Tony Dovolani
- Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito; pro partner Karina Smirnoff
- Rock Star host and onetime E! personality Brooke Burke; pro partner Derek Hough
- Gold medalist sprinter for Team USA in the Athens and Sydney Olympics Maurice Greene; pro partner Cheryl Burke
- Up-and-coming Disney tween heartthrob and Hannah Montana costar Cody Linley; pro partner Julianne Hough
- Sitcom utility player Ted McGinley (Hope & Faith, Sports Night, Married…With Children); pro partner Inna Brayer
- Veteran Oscar-winning actress and recent Roast of Bob Saget scene-stealer Cloris Leachman; pro partner Corky Ballas
- Comedian Jeffrey Ross, this year's heir apparent to Adam Carolla's entertaining yet uncoordinated mantle; pro partner Edyta Sliwinska
Kardashian has already handicapped herself, calling in to Good Morning America today to confirm that she was rushed to a New York emergency room Sunday night after slicing her foot open on a broken mirror in her hotel room. But she will go on with the show.
Meanwhile, for those playing DWTS Trivial Pursuit: Linley is set to be the show's youngest contestant ever at age 18; Leachman is the oldest at 82.
Several familiar pro faces are returning for the new season, with Mark Ballas, who strutted his way to victory with Kristi Yamaguchi, back to defend his title with help from new partner Kardashian. source
