ABC has announced the full cast for the eleventh season of Dancing With the People Who Desperately Want to be Stars, and it’s full of the usual tabloid staples and stars of yesteryear. The complete roster is as follows:
- Michael Bolton
- Brandy
- Margaret Cho
- Jennifer Grey
- Rick Fox
- David Hasselhoff
- Florence Henderson
- Kyle Massey
- Bristol Palin
- Audrina Patridge
- Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino
- Kurt Warner
Camera-shy Palin and camera-hungry Sorrentino are the big news here. The rest are standard Dancing fare: you’ve got the athletes (Fox and Warner), the young (Massey and Patridge) and the not-so-young (Henderson), the comedian (Cho), and the oddball (Hasselhoff). Personally, I’m thinking that Brandy and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey have an unfair advantage, with prior dancing experience. But hey, that’s never stopped the casting directors before.
The new season starts September 20th.
