DWTS Cast List Leak!

I know I know, we are supposed to tune in tonight to Bachelor Pad for the full reveal of the DWTS cast.

But I came across the leak early….

If you’d rather wait, stop reading. But I can’t hold it in.. this is going to be the motherload of DWTS casts… I am more excited for this cast than any other previously…the creme de la creme of D-listers!

TV lawyer  Nancy Grace

TV “personality” Kristin Cavalleri.

Actress and TV host Riki Lake.

Singer and actress Chynna Phillips.

Soccer player Hope Solo.

George Clooney’s former girlfriend Elizabetta Canalis.

 Actor David Arquette.

The male Kardashian, Rob Kardashian.

Actor Ryan O’Neal.

Actor J.R. Martinez.

Writer and activist Chaz Bono.

LA Laker Ron Artest.

Rumour has it Chaz will have a female partner because…’he’ is now technically a man. I have also heard rumblings (no pun intended) that Queen Latifa and/or Snooki have been signed up. I will have to wit for the official annoucement tonight but…

This list has it all : sports stars, reality stars, big names, former big names, old, young

what I love is what ISNT on the list: Disney stars, Bachelor cast offs, ex pop stars, people with obvious dance experience/ability etc.

It’s a great list. No?

DWTS Pairs Announcement 2010

The Official DWTS pairings are IN:

• Michael Bolton and Chelsie Hightower
• Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
• Margaret Cho and Louis Van Amstel
• Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke
• Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough
• David Hasselhoff and Kym Johnson
• Florence Henderson and Corky Ballas
• Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
• Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani
• Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Karina Smirnoff
• Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya

Thoughts?

Karina and The Situation? Wow, take that Max! But he may get the last laugh, he landed the girl with the most familiarity with dance and performance in Brandy.

Mark Ballas always gets the youngins… is that by request, or does he just seem the most unassuming and un-predatorial? I see they brought back his dad to take on the ‘token old gal’ Florence. Jeez, why cant an older woman dance with a younger man on tv?

Chelsie didnt really luck out, but she got one of the more ‘famous’ people in Michale Bolton, which should lengthen her term.

And Cheryl Burke FINALLY got a person with potential. Rick Fox has the charisma, the teeth and the body to be a contender… but let’s face it, he’s no ‘Situation’.

This is an interesting bunch, and the pairings look to maximize the heat…
