Shaine Moekler, Mario Lopez, Willa Ford, Sara Evans, and Monique ... bummer, they fired these last few off so fast I missed the last name of Monique. Might have gotten some spellings wrong, too. :roll:
This year's participants are talk show host Jerry Springer, actress Vivica A. Fox, MSNBC political talk show host Tucker Carlson, actor Joseph Lawrence, NFL running back Emmit Smith, actor Harry Hamlin (who is married to this year's co-host Lisa Rinna), actor Mario Lopez of "Saved by the Bell" fame, Willa Ford, Monique Coleman of Disney's "High School Musical," and country musician Sara Evans and model Shanna Moakler.
Do we know all the pro's, and which star will dance with which pro? I'm so bummed I had to miss this.
The GMA announcement was rather lame. Too much focus on giving some basic info by Lisa Rhinna on the first six to see if the GMA folks could guess the names of the stars, and then they rushed the last five names. Rhinna seemed so ditzy, and she is going to be the co-host while her husband Hamlin is on the show? Who the heck dreamed that up? If Rhinna behaves like she did on GMA, it could be a long season having to listen to her. :roll:
Yeah, what are they thinking? Let the man sink or swim without her influencing it in any way. I actually think this will hurt him.

Fox - Nick Kosovich Harry Hamlin - Ashly Delgrosso Joey Lawrence - Edyta Sliwenska Mario Lopez - Karina Smirnoff Shanna Moakler - Jesse DeSoto Emmit Smith - Cheryl Burke Jerry Springer - Kym Johnson blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2006/08/dancing_with_th.html (back to lurking)
Thank you! Had no idea Karina was on the show. Woo hoo! And, sad to say, I have no idea who Kym Johnson is. Musichacha is going to be bummed big time...no Alec! And I thought Jonathan and Anna were coming back?
I know the Dance Spectrum (the dance studio that Jonathan and Anna teach at) recently upped their teaching staff... so maybe they opted out to concentrate a little bit more on the studio this time around? I'm disappointed to not see Jonathan and Anna this time around... maybe they'll be back next season?
