It seems like the last season just ended, but ABC is set for Season 9 (really?) of Dancing With The Stars to premiere. This season’s cast includes its usual group of actors and athletes, but the biggest surprise of this year, might be adding a politician to the bunch. Or a UFC fighter. Here’s how the group of ‘stars’ rounds out:
Aaron Carter – former Backstreet Boys performer
Natalie Coughlin – Olympic swimmer
Mark Dacascos – Chairman of Iron Chefs of America, as well as actor and martial arts specialist
Tom DeLay – former Republican Majority Leader
Macy Gray – singer whose hair is bound to get in the way of her dancing
Ashley Hamilton – son of George Hamilton who we’ll classify as a B-list actor since even ESPN dubbed him an “actress”
Kathy Ireland – Supermodel
Michael Irvin – former Dallas Cowboys receiver
Joanna Krupa – model
Melissa Joan Hart – actress
Chuck Liddel – yes, the UFC fighter
Debi Mazar – actress
Mya – singer
Kelly Osbourne – reality star, daughter of Ozzy
Donny Osmond – entertainer, brother of Marie who previously fainted on the show
Dancing With The Stars is scheduled to premier on ABC September 21.


Ashley is only a guy’s name if you have a boomstick and wrist mounted chainsaw to back it up.
