From CNN - The next DWTS cast:

Nancy Grace - She’s known for her passion and strong point of view on her namesake HLN show. But on the next season of "Dancing with the Stars," Nancy Grace will unleash her quickstep and her tango.

David Arquette – The eccentric actor hopes to place the Mirrorball on his trophy case next to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship title belt he inexplicably won in 2000.

Chaz Bono – The actor, writer and activist was a contestant on VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club” in 2008.

Carson Kressley – The stylist and TV personality served as “fashion savant” on Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.”

J.R. Martinez – The retired soldier and motivational speaker has played Brot Monroe on “All My Children” since 2008.

Ron Artest – Of course, the controversial basketball star could be competing as “Metta World Peace” if his name change gets approved before or during the tournament.

Rob Kardashian – Will the reality TV star do better than sister Kim, who finished 11th in the fall 2008 season of “Dancing”?

Chynna Phillips – The singer hopes to hold on for more than just one day on the dance floor.

Elisabetta Canalis – The Italian actress and TV host is best known to U.S. audiences for her two-year relationship with George Clooney, which came to an end earlier this year.

Hope Solo – The U.S. women’s World Cup soccer goalkeeper could join the long list of athletes who’ve had success on the “Dancing” floor.

Kristin Cavallari – The "Hills" star hopes her run on “Dancing” lasts longer than her hosting gig on “Get the Party Started,” which lasted all of two weeks on UPN in 2006.

Ricki Lake – The actress and talk show host might be preparing for her first dance at her wedding reception. Lake announced her engagement to jewelry designer Christian Evans earlier this month.

In DWTS what does the "S" stand for?

My early bet is Hope Solo. How can you have any doubt about someone descended from the great Han Solo?

When do they announce who their partners are?

Is Chaz Bono competing as a man or a woman?

She is legally a man.

Stand-ins?

Nancy Grace ?

All I care is that Maks is back.

But her chromosomes make her a woman.... Should be a <yawn> interesting season...

And Nancy Grace is donating all of her winnings (?) to charity.

Maybe Carson will compete as a woman?

At least while they are filming, Nancy Grace won't have time to exploit the next crime victims family.

It seems to me that they are really scraping the bottom of the barrell looking for 'stars'. I only watched the first season of DWTS and don't think I'll be watching this group either.

I have never heard of most of these people...

I agree Biker. Where are the stars? This is the worst lineup I have seen. I have actually heard of only three of these people/stars.

I believe they announce the partners on GMA tomorrow.

Deja Vu, the feeling we've heard people say this since season 1 of the show!

I am not impressed with this lineup at all. George Clooney's ex-girlfriend?

Next season it'll be people like Brad Pitt's mechanic.

::like:: x3

But after I was told what they did I at least could say that I knew who they were. This time its really bad. and Chaz Bono? You h ave to be kidding.

Pairings:

David Arquette and Kym Johnson
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough
Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus
Ron Artest and Peta Murgatroyd
Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer
Elisabetta Canalis and Val Chmerkovskiy
Kristen Cavallari and Mark Ballas
Robert Kardashian and Cheryl Burke
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff
Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani
Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya

Oh sure, queer eye gets one of the hottest women on TV as his partner!

They'll shop. They'll accessorize. It will be a mutually beneficial relationship

Both Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Val Chmerkovskiy. This may turn into the best season yet.

With these last names this show looks like a workforce solutions program for hiring pro dancers from the former Soviet Union.

I want to know if Carson's partners from Queer Eye will show up in the audience to critique him! Wouldn't that be a hoot?!
