This may be a new record for stunt casting: the 12 celebrities for Season 11, as announced tonight by Dancing with the Stars hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke in a live press conference during Bachelor Pad, are: singers Michael Bolton and Brandy, comedienne Margaret Cho, NBC star/sports announcer/actor Rick Fox, Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey, Baywatch retiree David Hasselhoff, Mrs. Brady from The Brady Bunch Florence Henderson, Disney Channel sitcom star Kyle Massey, former GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin’s unwed daughter/baby mama Bristol Palin, the least annoying castmember on The Hills Audrina Patridge, the most annoying castmember on Jersey Shore Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and NFL quarterback Kurt Warner.

In the Seventies all these losers would be able to do a guest spot on “Love Boat”, now we have “Dancing with the Stars”. These folks should be put out to pasture not given dancing shoes.
If “Cory in the House” was such a hit for Disney Channel then why was it cancelled after 2 seasons?
A lot of Disney shows don’t last more than 2,3, or 4 seasons. Its normal.
That’s a shame. My daughter loves that show, as well as That’s So Raven.
I have watched every season of DWTS, but I absolutely refuse to watch any show “starring” the idiot from New Jersey or the teen whatever from Alaska. I’m done.
Amen to that, these people are considered celebrities? Jesus.
my sentiments exactly!!! I would have loved to see Jennifer Grey…great idea, but Palin and the Jersey guy with a stupid name? forget it! DWTS just lost a viewer.
Per usual… Hollywood execs screw up another valid property. Guess it’s no longer about providing comeback opportunities to people who once entertained us. Now it’s about continuing to shove no-talent, less than interesting, wannabes down our throats.
I think I am going to have to be with you. palins daughter is not a star and that whosiwhatsit jerk from jersey shore isnt either. a few of the others might be interesting to see what happens but i think this is going to be a bad season. think ill just watch highlights. maybe they will go off fast.
Thats it.
Wow, everyone on this cast is annoying or I do not care. ABC EPIC FAIL!
Agree. It’s shocking how awful this group is. Every year I vow not to watch and then they end up with someone I actually want to see. But you’re right – not so with this group! It’s perplexing because one imagines a bazillion forgotten stars are clamoring to get on this show. Yea?
And Nikki I must disagree with you re Audrina being the least annoying. Next to Heidi she was in fact the stupidest female on that show. From the horrible boob job to her inability to choose a good man.
Whoops, I hit enter before I completed my thought on how stupid Audrina is. But you know I suppose it’s not even worth it. The End.
i have to agree with mar. audrina ran a very close 2nd with heidi. & #1 for annoying.
vomit puke and throw up — what do we have to do in order to rid the Palins — Please No Bristol!
amen!!!!!!!!!!! nothin more to say
Pepto-Bismol, please…
Pepto-Bristol?
love this post puck!!!
What did we do to deserve this horrible show?
You watched it.
People watched.
And while it SEEMS painful, just think:
The Hoff will be watched for drunken shenanigans…
The Situation will be watched to fail…
Cho will be watched by the 12 people who know her…
Grey will be watched by middle-aged Moms hoping to find their high school years…
Palin will be watched by every Dem looking to slander her Mom (as if a “need” was required)…
Patridge will be watched for her body…
Warner will be the saving grace for husbands forced to watch…
and
Masey?…
Who the Hell is THAT?
(Oh, Sorry…Disney owns ABC.)
Complain every time the new cast list is announced and say “I’m done”, yet watch it every season.
Does the loser daughter of the loser ex-Governor being on the show mean that Sarah is going to show up each week? Yeah! One more reason not to watch this season.
By the way, when did getting knocked up qualify you as a ‘celebrity/star’?
What hypocrites! Picking on a young lady that has made mistakes.
I wonder how many times they’ve had sex out of marriage…
And David H., I can’t wait to see him dance. What is that
saying “get the mote out of your eye before you get the one
out of someone else”.
Dancing with the stars is my favorite show and I am ready for
the new cast to begin!
This is the kind of lineup that “televatis” turn their nose up to. But let’s all be honest here, the new cast will probably bring in the largest amount of viewers to date. It’s called entertainment for a reason and mainstream America wants to be shocked and repulsed. They’re tuning in to watch it. It’s the same reason people slow down on the freeway when there is a nasty car crash. We can’t help ourselves.
People say the same comments season after season, who cares? Viewers still watch season after season. Comments & opinions really don’t matter what matters are the Nielsen numbers the next day, and the income of the viewers. That’s really all advertisers care about.
It follows the same formula each season, one older male, one older female, one younger person usually from a Disney show, and a few that can actually dance, one sports person, and a few singers.
Shouldn’t that be “Dancing with the Tards”?
LOL…Love it, “Dancing with the Tards”
That is the funniest response yet! Love it! Dancing with the Tards!
Next season they’re going to start plunking people right out of the audience to compete. It would be a better show.
What a fabulous lineup of stars…for Branson Missouri.
I thought Kate plus 8 was bad, but this group, hits bottom. Unfortunately, there will be people who will watch, like the freak show in the circus
Gloria
Margaret Cho, comedienne? Hardly. How about left-wing bomb-thrower? Maybe in this group she might learn a little bit of class.
But don’t hold your breath.
I’ve never watched the show, but I wonder if Margaret Cho will be able to dance with Bristol Palin?
Ah – what’s the matter with you people? This casting is pretty much genius. It’s supposed to be crazy Love Boat guest stars. Have you not seen the show? It’s currently the most popular show in the country so somebody out there must like it. Just not on this “oh, too cool. I’ll only post when I can trash something” blog. Lighten up. It’s ballroom dancing!
The term “Stars” is very loose these days….
Stars? Really!?! Stars?
should use old Barbarino tag line from Welcome Back Kotter to promote: “Wha?” “Who?”
What a bunch of negative comments! I’m not a fan of her mother, but why not give Bristol, and all the rest of them, a break. What have all of you done? Sticks and stones…
I agree! What are you so afraid of? I’m sure you are no angel and why beat up on Bristol? Let’s get rid of the negativity and give her a chance.
When Situation and Bristol Palin hook up, my life will feel complete.
Shame about Cho, she was seriously funny until her act evolved into a bash bush and sometimes I let girls go down on me laugh free spectacles of epic fail.
Jennifer grey: her nose job has been blamed for her career freefall but I think its lack of talent not nose was the cause.
Palintard: poor bristol. First you showed us you can’t keep your legs closed, then you showed us you can’t act and now you can show us you can’t dance.
The hoff: hey drunky, no crying on stage or spilling your drinks. Someone could get hurt.
Th situation: so retarded but so hot. Show us your abs and a peek at your bum and your vote is mine. not really but I bet you would show your bum for a vote.
The Disney Channel 3 season rule went away when That’s So Raven and Hannah Montana started doing exceptionally well. Also Wizards of Waverly Place was just renewed for a 4th season. So yeah, the kids show just sucked if it only lasted 2 seasons.
Are they ever going to have stars on this show?
