The new Dancing with the Stars cast has been announced, and apart from Scientologist Kirstie Alley it looks decent. We heard rumors last year that Kirstie was gunning to be on Dancing and it looks like her dream came true. As much as she bugs, it will be fun to see her sneering face on the show for a couple weeks. She’ll probably last just as long as Margaret Cho did last season. Among the other contestants are Kendra Wilkinson, Wendy Williams, Petra Nemcova, Ralph Macchio, Sugar Ray Leonard and a few other people I’ve barely heard of.
Wendy Williams – Talk show hostess, 46 (Her show will be on hiatus while she’s on DWTS)
Sugar Ray Leonard – Boxing great, 54
Kirstie Alley – Actress, Diet pill shiller, 60
Ralph Macchio – Actor (Karate Kid) 49
Kendra Wilkinson – Reality star, Playmate, 25
Chelsea Kane – Disney actress (Jones LA), singer, 22
Lil Romeo – Rapper, 21
Mike Catherwood – Radio host (Loveline), 31
Hines Ward – Football player, Wide receiver Pittsburgh Steelers, 34
Chris Jericho – Professional wrestler, 40
Petra Nemcova – Model, charity founder (Happy Hearts Fund), 31
It’s nice to see to see Petra Nemcova again. We haven’t heard much about her in a couple of years and I wondered what she was up to. Can you believe Ralph Macchio is 49? I remember when he was on The Today Show a while ago and everyone was marveling at how young he still looks.
It’s hard to predict who will prevail this season, and that’s what makes Dancing With The Stars so watchable. Plus we love to see pseudo celebrities make asses out of themselves. It premieres on March 21.
Kirstie Alley and Kendra Wilkinson are shown outside STK restaurant on 2/28/11 after the DWTS announcement. Why is Kirstie not wearing shoes? Petra Nemcova is shown on 2/27/11 at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party. Credit: WENN.com. Some headshots credit: PRPhotos. List via Huffington Post
