Dancing with the Stars

All of the rumors about the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars were true; Bristol Palin joins The Hoff, Brandy, Michael Bolton, The Situation (Mike Sorrentino) and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey. Kurt Warner (NFL), Margaret Cho, Kyle Massey, Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox (NBA) and Florence Henderson make up the rest of the contestants. Did I miss anyone?

Kirstie Alley is the only rumored star not to appear on the show. She made the announcement via Twitter last week: , “Lol… Just a rumor… Imagine that. NOT doing DWTS this season… Way too chicken!! Maybe next season if Im invited again!!!”

DWTS season 11 premieres on September 20. This might be the cast and season that finally buries American idol. And like always, I have to point out that I predicted that Dancing With the Stars would be a huge flop during its first season!

Here are the dance teams for Dancing With the Stars season 9.

The pairs are as follows:

Pop star Aaron Carter will dance with with Karina Smirnoff.

Olympic champion swimmer Natalie Coughlin teams with Alec Mazo.

From Iron Chef, Mark Dacascos is matched with Lacey Schwimmer.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay gets Cheryl Burke.

Grammy-winning singer Macy Gray and Jonathan Roberts.

Actor and comedian Ashley Hamilton teams with Edyta Sliwinska.

Actress Melissa Joan Hart teams up with reigning two-time Dancing With the Stars champ Mark Ballas.

Model Kathy Ireland will dance with Tony Dovolani.

NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin teams up with first timer Anna Demidova.

Model Joanna Krupa teams with Season 7 champ Derek Hough.

Ultimate Fighting champion Chuck Liddell teams with Anna Trebunskaya.

Dancing With the Stars season 9 airs on ABC, starting on September 21.

The official Dancing With the Stars cast pictures have been released, but I can't tell who is who. First of all, the ones I would recognize are too photoshopped to be identified, and second I have no idea who half these people are. So lets make this an interactive game! You tell me the names of the people pictured while I drink whiskey in my underwear. Oh yeah and I think a couple of "celebrities" are missing, so let us know who I forgot.

Thanks!

Also why didn't they mix the background up a little? These literally look like a bunch of bad prom pictures from the 70s. Here is the cast list from our previous announcement:

Belinda Carlisle -- Singer for the The Go-Go's. You know she so made fun of Jane Wiedlin for being on VH1's Surreal Life, and now look where she is.

David Alan Grier -- I guess Chocolate News isn't paying the bills? He may be the only one on the show that still has a career and that is just sad.

Jewel -- Not only can you tune-in to see the end of Jewel's career but her husband (Ty) will be joining her to help throw a few more heaps of dirt on it.

Ty Murray -- See above

Lawrence Taylor -- Retired NFL star

Shawn Johnson -- Poor man's Michael Phelps?

Gilles Marini -- There is life after Sex and the City.

Chuck Wicks -- I have no idea.

Nancy O'Dell -- " The co-Anchor of Access Hollywood."

Denise Richards -- She got naked in Playboy.

Steve Wozniak -- Invented the Internet, NOT Al Gore.

The show premieres Monday, March 9 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Dancing with the Stars just got a little more interesting with the addition of Steve-O. He seems a little more suited for Celebrity Rehab than DWTS, but I'm really interested to see if he serious about this, or if this is just another one of his many pranks?

He will be joining:

Belinda Carlisle -- Singer for the The Go-Go's. You know she so made fun of Jane Wiedlin for being on VH1's Surreal Life, and now look where she is.

David Alan Grier -- I guess Chocolate News isn't paying the bills? He may be the only one on the show that still has a career and that is just sad.

Jewel -- Not only can you tune-in to see the end of Jewel's career but her husband (Ty) will be joining her to help throw a few more heaps of dirt on it.

Samantha Harris told People she would love to see actor Hugh Jackman on the next season of Dancing With the Stars.

“He’s a song and dance man. He’s a Broadway guy He’s got charisma and you know he can move," said Harris.

Someone needs to tell Sam that the word "Star" in the title is used very loosely, it requires air quotes while speaking it, and it is the same as calling porn sluts "actresses." If Jackman values his career he will obviously be steering very far away from DWTS. However, if he puts out a few more films like Australia and The Fountain he may a contestant soon enough.

We'll keep you updated.

XOXO

Dancing With the Stars contestant Taylor McBride has confirmed she is going to pose nude for Playboy...again.

When asked by Extra if the rumors were true, McBride answered "I'm the worst liar on the planet, I can't lie, so...I think that could be a yes."

Not that this is really big news, she already appeared in the magazine when she was pregnant back in 1998. I sent word of this news to our good friend Sarah Pullin of Shesocrazy.com, so I'm sure her and our celebrity nude expert, Kevin Touch are on the case. Expect her old nudes to be published in no time or just Goggle "Taylor McBride Naked" and see what comes up.

Fergie Sets Date to Marry Josh Duhamel

Kim Kardashian may have turned Dancing With the Stars into Dancing With the Whores, but I have to applaud her for becoming a "celebrity" when she is basically only known for having a big ass.

People reports Kardashian held it together on camera after she was the third person to be voted off the show, but when the cameras were off Kardashian "rushed to the waiting arms of her family and immediately broke down into tears."

This was Kardashian's chance to be known for more than Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and Kim Kardashian Super Star Part 2, her sex tape with Hip Hop star Ray J, so I can see why she was upset.

Even judge Carrie Ann Inaba agrees telling People "This could have been a great opportunity for her to blossom and show the world that she is more than just a beautiful face." What she meant to say was, "She could have shown the world that she is more than just a chick with huge ass that takes it from black guys."

I'm ready for a Kardashian Super Star Part 3, Part 2 wasn't that great.

For more info on Kardashian's sex tapes check out Shesocrazy.com.

The official lineup for Dancing With the Stars was announced on ABC's Good Morning America.

Kim Kardashian
Susan Lucci -- Erica Kane people...
Lance Bass -- Yes 'N Sync's Lance Bass!
Brooke Burke -- I think she gets naked or something.
Cloris Leachman -- Some old chick.
Toni Braxton
Chef Rocco DiSpirito
Cody Linley -- From Hannah Montana.
Jeffrey Ross
Ted McGinley
Warren Sapp -- NFL
And some Olympic athletes: Misty May-Treanor -- Maurice Greene.

I predicted that DWTS would last one season, shows how much I know. Maybe they will hire Janice Dickinson since American Idol won't. It doesn't matter anyway, because I'm not watching this shit until they book Gary Coleman. Now that is entertainment.

Paul Abdul is not happy with just her judging duties at American Idol or with releasing a new CD for that matter. No, homegirl needs to dance again.

The former dancer/ choreographer is admitting she wants to join the next season of Dancing With The Stars!

I have no idea what the rules are for the show, but isn't it a little unfair to have a former dancer/ choreographer competing on the show?

In March, DWTS' host, Tom Bergeron, "accidentally" revealed that Paula might be joining them next season.  read more »
