Maria Menounos

Patman

Katherine Jenkins is nice to look at as well, and she can sing!

windom

So this has to be the first time that someone who's been on Doctor Who has been on DWTS, right?

Cellar Door

+1

But no Edyta again?

TheKing

Congrats to Urkel for still being considered enough of a "star" to make this show.

astrochimp

I don't think she'll ever be back

Glad to see Chelsie is though

Decent cast

Red Dog

Wow. Can't wait to see her.

I've never heard of 5 of these 'celebs.'

DRG

Sort of a dull lineup this year... all typical, safe choices. They're lacking the bizarro 'WTF' names this time around. Where is the crazy tabloid fodder? Where are the amusing trainwrecks? I've accepting the fact the lineup won't be filled with 'stars' (Roshon Fegan? William Levy?), but at least give me something to laugh at.

Can anyone post the NSFW bikini bottom slip pics on here in her honor of joining the cast?

JTH182

Or you could just Google them to save the poor sap from being banned.

I'll watch just for her, and with Derek she should be on a while

RocShemp

Except for the ones in bold, I have no idea who these people are. Well, technically I know William Levy is a singer (or something) but only because a friend of mine was gushing about him on her Facebook. Otherwise his name would also be drawing a blank.

So this seems par for the course with me and this show's cast.

Red Dog

You're never heard of Martina Navratilova? Must be pretty young.

But except for Driver, I draw a blank on the very same ones.

Patman

I don't know who William Levy or Roshon Fergus are, but know the rest of the line-up.

zuffy

I only know 4 of them. It would have been 3 if the Giants didn't win the Super Bowl.

RocShemp

After looking her up on Wikipedia, age has nothing to do with it. I just don't ever follow tennis.

fujishig

?

RocShemp

I'm surprised Maksim is back. I would have thought his diva antics had finally gotten him booted from the show. He's very talented but his personality makes him seem like the Michael Bay of ballroom dancers.

zuffy

Maria Menounos has a bet to strip down to a blue, white and red bikini if the Giants win the Super Bowl. She did and showcased her awesome body.

fujishig

Ah, I see. I thought maybe they had two football players on at once, Driver and someone else whom I've never heard of or something from the Giants.

Obligatory pic, though it looks like the animated gif that was in sports talk has been removed:

Obi-Wanma

Not much of a bet, and not much of a downside for her. So she's a Patriots fan, that's not a "Giants" bikini. She's still wearing her team colors (since both teams wear red, white and blue), and it's not like she has anything to be embarrased about, she looks great. If anything, it was great PR for her.

Double_Oh_7

Is it wrong that I want to see Sherri Shepherd's big, fat tits?

Burgundy LaRue

Outside of Fegan and Levy, I recognize all the names.

The drama will come from Melissa and Maks. I've heard Half Pint can be a diva. That mixed with Maks = KABOOM! potential.

mcnabb

Can't stand this show, but I found a reason to tune in now!
