Dancing With The Stars Announces Roster

Who knew that getting a bunch of rich and famous people together with professional dancers and having America vote on their favorite would be such a smashing success?  This time around, Dancing With The Stars has a great group of celebs ready to compete for the hearts of viewers.

This season’s contestants are actress Jane Seymour, super model Albert Reed, Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, actress-model Josie Maran, king of Las Vegas Wayne Newton, entertainer Marie Osmond, boxer Floyd Mayweather, Spice Girl Melanie Brown, racing champ Helio Castroneves, actress Jenni Garth, and actor Cameron Mathison.

And apparently, Seymour was unsure about her involvement in the show initially. “When I talked to some of the fans, they all just said, ‘Oh, we’d love it. It would be so great.’ You know what? My mom is very ill in England and this turns out to be her favorite show ever. So I managed to tell her, ask her what her thoughts were, and in the first words she’s spoken since she had her stroke, she said, ‘Yes.’ I always wanted to dance when I was a little girl. I couldn’t give up this opportunity at this point in my life.”

Also of note, Canadian rocker Avril Lavigne will perform as a musical guest, along with Dolly Parton and Gloria Estefan.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see Wayne Newton compete against 90210’s Garth, Marie Osmond, and Scary Spice.  The show starts September 24th on ABC.
