New Dancing With the Stars Cast

The new “celebs” for the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars sounds a lot better than last seasons line up, but I’m not feeling some of the rumored (key word being rumored!) partnerships.  Here’s the line up, care of the Today Show:

Lance Bass (From NSYNC) - Lacey Schwimmer oye….
Toni Braxton (Singer) - Alec Mazo
Brooke Burke (Playmate) - Derek Hough
Rocco Dispirito (Chef) - Karina Smirnoff
Maurice Greene (Track & Field Olympian) - Cheryl Burke
Kim Kardashian (TBD) - Mark Ballas
Cloris Leachman (She’s 82!) - Corky Ballas (Mark’s father)
Cody Linley (Hannah Montana) - Julianne Hough
Susan Lucci (Soap Star) - Tony Dovolani
Misty May-Treanor (Volleyball Player) - Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Ted McGinley (Actor) - Inna Brayer
Jeffrey Ross (Comedian) - Edyta Sliwinska
Warren Sapp (Footballer) - Kym Johnson

I would’ve rather seen Maks with Kim Kardashian or even Toni Braxton (although she and her partner will probaby do really well).  Cody Linley is the guy who played Hannah Montana’s boyfriend for a season or two; he and Julianne will get the tween vote, for sure, but that’s waaaaay too much blonde.  I think Lacey will be so far out of her league next to those pro’s, and of course they have to pair two of the most obnoxious psuedo celeb, blech.   Has she finally quit crying over David Cook?

Oh yeah and the fangirls can be happy that Maks is back.  I still don’t get his appeal….
