Dancing with the Stars line-up announced


I'm feeling doubtful and downright scared

OK, you can check out the new cast here on BusinessWeek of all places.

My take:

The singers (I've heard of them all):
Mya: This season's ringer
Macy Gray: I don't think of her as having good posture, which is sort of important.
Aaron Carter: Boy band, right? Another ringer!!

The actors (I've heard of them all, but not just for their acting):
Ashley Hamilton: George Hamilton's son, and isn't he Shannen Doherty's ex? That is the extent of my knowledge. Has he actually acted in aynthing?
Melissa Joan Hart: Teen Witch! OK, never watched it, but at least I know who she is and what she's famous for. She's cute, blonde, perky.
Debi Mazar: I have high hopes. She is going to bring some 'tude to the floor, don't you think?

Models (Famous and not-so-famous)
Kathy Ireland: You know who I'd really like to see do this? Christie Brinkley.
Joanna Krupa: I have NO idea.

Reality TV Stars (Huh? and Huh.)
Mar Dacascos: OK, help me out here people...huh?
Kelly Osbourne: I hope she rocks it.

Entertainer (No, I don't know why singer or actor is too confining a description for...):
Donny Osmond: Oh. Ma. Gah! Total ringer, but I don't care. Sure, I went more for David Cassidy, but Donny still looks pretty damn good.

Athletes:
Mixed Martial Artist Chuck Lidell: Um, I'm sure you can guess I have no clue here.
Pro snowboarder Louie Vito: Ditto
Olympic Swimmer Natalie Coughlin: Is she the one the announcers always got kind of creepy about how beautiful she was?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin: Boo Hiss Eww Ick. Cowboys Suck!!!

Politician:
Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay: As the little girl in Strictly Ballroom would say: "Well, that was unexpected."

I'm calling it: Donny Osmond will do what his sister could not: WIN!!!!!

Your guess?
