"Dancing With The Stars" Reveals Lineup

NEW YORK — Susan Lucci, Toni Braxton and Lance Bass will hit the floor on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

They are among 13 celebrities slated to compete on the new season of the top-rated dance contest, premiering Sept. 22.

The other contestants are Cloris Leachman, Kim Kardashian, Ted McGinley, Brooke Burke, NFL champ Warren Sapp and two Olympic athletes: Misty May-Treanor, who won her second gold medal for beach volleyball at this year's summer games in Beijing, and Maurice Greene, who won two gold medals in track at the 2000 games in Sydney.

Rounding out the cast are chef Rocco DiSpirito, Cody Linley of "Hannah Montana" and comedian Jeffrey Ross.

The names were announced Monday on ABC News' "Good Morning America."

Kardashian, who co-stars with her family on the E! reality series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," checked into a New York City hospital Sunday after cutting her foot on a glass table in her hotel room.

"I cut my foot pretty bad. ... It looked like a murder scene with all the blood everywhere," Kardashian said in a phone call to "GMA."

"I will be able to dance. I went to the hospital. I'll be fine," she said.

"Good evening and welcome to Jerking Off with Ernest Borgnine. Tonight Ernest's guests will include actor Sam Waterston, comedian Chevy Chase, and singer songwriter Bjork. "

[PerryWhite]

There's no male senior citizen. I was thinking maybe Harry Shearer.

[aubrey8]

Kardashian must of been jumping up and down on the table after someone forgot to bring her pacifier to her....poor kid.

[duckcrackers]

I'd rather see a show about crack whores finger banging each other who are watching this show.

[jmyoung666]

Well, who wouldn't want to see a show about crack whores finger banging each other?

[Bulbul]

You go La Loucee !

[duckcrackers]

I wonder why Kim Kardashian was chosen? Seriously what do the producers think she has that would gain viewer interest? Hmm.

[Bulbul]

Never heard of her !

[Destin]

Hehe, you could see the Misty May pick coming from 40 miles away, lol. And as far as the Khardasian loser chick, lol, she makes Paris Hilton look like Marie Curie who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize (in Physics). And one correction, Warren Sapp isn't himself an NFL champ, he played on the team that were the NFL champs. It's a team sport. ;)

[duckcrackers]

With the appearance of Ted McGinley this show has now Jumped the Shark. Though to be fair- this show was never in front of the shark from the start.

[Topfeeder]

The only person I know that watches this show is my 72 year old mother. What is the target demographic?

[duckcrackers]

The target audience consists of Ernest Borgnine looking for prime material for his onanastic lifestyle.

[Mattie]

I've never watched it, and never plan to, it must be popular though it keeps coming back, and the news media reports on it like it's important. I hate reality shows! Oh wait, Kathy Griffith's show is awesome!

[Destin]

I'd sooner watch this than American Idol, but then, both are copycats of each other as well as other similar shows, which AI is a poorly done ripoff of the Eurovision Song Contest.

[MajorKong]

Mrs. Kong is rather fond of the show so I guess I'll be watching it too.

[jetbanana]

What, no handicapped person this time? I guess unless you count no-talent as being a handicap..

[booker52]

Will they pair Lance up with a guy or a gal???

[firelord5000]

Gal ofcourse, otherwise it would be too riskay, plus, 2 dudes dancing isn't quite sexy.

[duckcrackers]

Carrot Top is rumoured to be his partner.

[Ezn]

Why did my comment get deleted?

[Ezn]

Unless there is a racecar driver dancing, I will not be watching.

[STORMATSEA]

No one seems to remember her Oscar either.
All anyone needs to do is rent "Young Frankenstein to enjoy Ms. Cloris in action

[Teas]

At the the roast for Bob Saget on Comedy Central she steal's the show. She is SO funny!

[spyboyz]

I love her as "Latrine" in "Men In Tights"

[MajorKong]

Frau Blücher!

[ReelBusy]

How do you cut your foot on a glass table?

[HillaryismyHomegirl]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Sounds like a story, and a bad one at that.
