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├óΓé¼ΓäóDell (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.
