The Dancing With The Stars season 8 cast has been announced.

And this season promises to be interesting with some show firsts and unusual competitors!

For the first time ever, not one but two real life celebrity couple will compete against each other as singer (and our dear friend) Jewel and hubby Ty Murray, a rodeo star, enter the dance floor. And, in another first, DWTS's very own Julianne Hough will be dancing with her boyfriend Chuck Wicks.

Dancing pros and recently engaged Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff will be returning.

The rest of the list includes pop star Belinda Carlisle, NFL star Lawrence Taylor, Notorious Lil' Kim (even the skimpy costumes will seem like too much clothing for her), Apple computer co-founder Steve Wozniak, actors David Alan Grier and Gilles Marini, and Access Hollywood co-host Nancy O’Dell (they'll let anybody on!).

At 17, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson is the youngest cast member, and we're sure she'll get a kick out of Jackass' Steve-O.

      Never have watched it. But might to see how Steve-o is doing. Johnny Knoxville said he's been clean since his meltdown and doing very well on Howard Stern the other day. As a recovering drug addict myself(2yrs 6 mos 15 days), i am always pulling for my fellow fuck-ups.

      Steve O has reached a pooh laced new low. If he is going to redeem himself in any way then he will completely destroy the set and tell Belinda Carlisle on live tv she is a fat pile of moose shit



    13. 13

      I'll watch if Steve O. vomits on the judges…..



    14. 14

      How can you look at Steve-O's face and not smile? He's going to be the only interesting part of the show.



    15. 15

      i still love jewel's sock tan.



    16. 16

      Stars? I only recognize like 2 of these names…



    17. 17

      I'd let Jewel use my tongue as toilet paper.



    18. 18

      ABC has a screw loose. Who the hell picked these celebrities? Big batch of "nobody cares" I'll skip this season.



    19. 19

      I hope Steve-O does something extreme like…..staple his balls to the dance floor….LOL that would be something to watch…other than that dont really care…next*



    20. 20

    21. 21

    22. 22

      Never watched DWTS, never will….



    23. 23

      Steve-o seems like the only funny one. I don't know who most the rest of them even are- boo



    24. 24

      Hey ppls. Took the day off so I won't really be here today…



    25. 25

      i'll watch cause steve-o's on it.



    26. 26

      I don't know half of who those people are. That's why I don't watch this crap. They should call it Dancing with has-beens.



    27. 27

      who's the chick "singing"? thanks!



    28. 28

      Any wager's on how long Steve O will last, before his wasted ass does something crazy and he gets thrown off the show. I say he won't last the first episode.



    29. 29

      "STEVE-O!" WILL DOMINATE THE FAN RATINGS AND BE A FANTASTIC DANCER!



    30. 30

      Not a bad cast I guess.. too bad I dont watch that shiz!



    31. 31

      I never watch this show, but I'm sure it'll be funny now that steve-o is on it
      and jewel and lil kim are also the only interesting ones



    32. 32

      I never really watched the show before but I will now because of Steve O. Hewill be the only rad part of the show/Ithink he will surprise everyone with his moves!



    33. 33
