The naming of the new celebrities for Dancing with the Stars is shrouded in secrecy. Like when they name a new Pope. But In Touch has the details on who is going to be on the new season of the hit ABC reality show.How's this for a list? Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson, singers Lance Bass and Toni Braxton (if she wears that dress in the article I might watch), reality star Kim Kardashian, football great Dan Marino, and rodeo star Ty Murray. Actually, the article above calls him "Jewel's boyfriend Ty Murray," which must be a terrible way to go through life when you have your own career.
Of course, ABC won't confirm or deny any of the names of the contestants. Fans will have to wait until August 25, when the show will reveal the names on a very special episode of Good Morning America. Can you stand the wait? (Answer: yes, you can stand the wait.)

I love Dan Marino. He's always been one of my all time favorites, but he was known for his arm and quick release, not his footwork!! If Danny is one of the contestants, only his blue eyes will keep him on past round one. I think In Touch is out of touch about this name! Whatever happened to Warren Sapp? He claimed that he was invited to the dance, remember?

Remember a year ago when the DWTS cast list was supposedly leaked a day or two before the official announcement and several entertainment websites (and my local newscast) ran with it? It turned out to be wrong.
Another rumor is that Ty Murray and Jewel are being courted for the spring season of DWTS, a season in which famous husbands and wives will be competing against each other. I'm not crazy about the idea of stuntcasting DWTS to incorporate married rivals, family rivals, or real rivals who seem to hate each other in real life. All of these ideas are supposedly under consideration for future seasons of DWTS. Bah. I think they should just do a New York version of DWTS and get all the "stars" who work in NY and otherwise can't travel to LA for weekly tapings (Kelly Ripa, etc.).
