'Dancing With the Stars' cast includes Tom Delay*| accessAtlanta (http://www.accessatlanta.com/celebrities-tv/dancing-with-the-stars-cast-includes-tom-delay-117109.html?cxntlid=thbz_hm)

NEW YORK — Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay will join 15 celebrities from the worlds of entertainment and sports in kicking up their heels on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars.

Other hopefuls include entertainer Donny Osmond; singers Mya, Macy Gray and Aaron Carter; actors Melissa Joan Hart, Debi Mazar and Ashley Hamilton (son of George); models Joanna Krupa and Kathy Ireland; reality stars Kelly Osbourne and Mark Dacascos ("the Chairman" on Food Network's "Iron Chef America"); mixed martial artist Chuck Liddell; professional snowboarder Louie Vito; Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin; former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin and the 62-year-old former congressman from Texas.

The contestants were announced on Monday's "Good Morning America" by "Dancing" host Tom Bergeron.

He also unveiled a new competitive twist.

"In the middle of our season, over three weeks, we're going to have double eliminations," said Bergeron. "We'll lose about half of our cast within that period. It will be a ballroom bloodbath."

Samantha Harris returns as co-host, with the panel of judges including ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer-choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

The ninth season of the hit ABC show premieres Sept. 21.

I thought my wife was fucking with me when she said Delay was on the show.

They couldn't get Sarah Palin & Bob Dole just turned 86 so ....

Dancing with Disgraced Politicians could be good tv. Marion Berry could yell "The bitch set me up" when he was voted off and Larry Craig could switch from male to female partners each week.

Rick Sanford, William Jefferson, Blago ... you might be onto something here.

The hardest part will be limiting it to just sixteen.

Yeah, but think of the revenue the show could generate just from the people bribing their way into the slots.

The other problem was that it'll be tough not to have it turn into an extremely male heavy show. I mean, we could probably come up with some female competitors but they're going to be mostly C-List names I'm afraid.

The follow up season kind of writes itself too:
Dancing With the Stars: The Season of Performance Enhancement

That one could have a field of 65 (counting the play-in) pretty easily and cover all sorts of sports.

Chuck Liddell? I would have to say I don't really picture him on the dance floor.

Ah, Jesus. That's all Irvin's going to talk about on his radio show now...

So every season, I check out the list of celebrities to see if they get a celebrity that is so damn hot that I HAVE to watch. Yes, there have been some very attractive people on the show, but nobody had hit that spot for me yet... until now.

I am totally watching this for Mark Dacascos. I'm not joking. I'm not lying. Mark Dacascos is hot as hell.

Wow, really? Nine seasons? I don't believe it.

They do two seasons a year. That's why it doesn't seem to add up.

Kathy Ireland use to make my pants hum as a teenager.

I have never heard of Joanna Krupa but after a google image search I didn't have to go past page 1 to become a fan.

Ah, Jesus. That's all Irvin's going to talk about on his radio show now...

Why on earth would you listen to his talk show anyway?

For the most part he and his co-hosts are pretty entertaining, and he can snag some good interviews...

The best part is she had the balls to curse out T.O..

Anyone watch the first week.

Overall pretty good. I was happy with who went home. I have no idea who Ashley Hamilton is and Macy Gray came off like not really caring, plus she is a yeti.

The Iron chef guy, Mark, was realy good, but he may not have the staying power. I loke Natalie Coughlin alot and was glad to see Irvin sucked.

Tom Delay was pretty funny and Kelly Osborn was way better than I thought, awesome to see Ozzy there also.

I was surprised at how bad Kathy Ireland was and the rest are pretty much who we thought they were.

Chuck was bad. But not as bad as I expected, surprisingly.

Aaron Carter is an obnoxious little shit.

Yes, he is. And watch the way him and Karina interact. Did he drive the wedge between Maks and her?

Kelly Osborn cleans up pretty well

I was really happy for her. She made a great impression and showed she isn't a spoiled brat rich kid.

I had no idea Tom DeLay was super gay until I saw him on this the other night.

If being super gay means you get to spend that much time dancing with Cheryl Burke than sign me up.

Is this the most recent DWTS thread? Help me out here. BUZZ FUCKING ALDRIN???? I'm watching SOLELY for him. Some of the others are interesting, too, though. Erin Andrews? I'm in. My wife mentioned wanting to watch because of Kate G. oookay.

Chad Johnson should be fun

I just want to see Erin Andrews.

I'm at the point of this show where I actually like and root for certain pro dancers. The celebrities have become secondary to me.

I've never watched the show for more than 5 minutes, but Buzz Aldrin is enough to make me do it. One of the 2 or 3 people on the planet that makes me star struck. I don't even know who the others would be.

I'm trying to watch a little here - but I still have the same problem I had the last time I tried. The dancing is just bad - I can't watch it.

I don't understand a single thing about the dancing. I tried to pay attention because I know what a waltz is, but yeah, I'm out. Where the hell is Buzz, let's go. I hope he fucking punches one of the judges.

I'm watching because they've got some soap star I've never heard of. Oh, wait, they seem to have that every season.

lol at shannon doherty crying about dancing. nice rack though

Erin Andrews and Nicole Sherzinger are the reasons I'm tuning in.

Though I'm hoping Evan Lysacek does well (went to high school with him, he was in my biology class.)

I've seen Erin Andrews naked. She no longer does anything for me. I would kick her out of bed with a spiked boot. I would also throw acid on her.

I'm being edgy.

Erin Andrews is smoking holy crap.

I want to put a bag over her head and sharpen my straight razor on her breasts.

And then throw acid on her.

Were you even watching the show, her crying had nothing to do with dancing.

+1

Oh, and the pro female dancers ar mostly smoking hot too. :)

WTF did she do to you?

Checked into a Hotel room next to his with no peep hole.

As if that figure skater (Lysachek?) deserved that high of a score. I'm rooting for Ochocinco and whoever pairs up with Chelsie Hightower, since she's super awesome.

WTF did she do to you?

My old Spanish professor from college recognized my penis in that Oz episode. And then she called me and asked if I wanted to shower in her basement. She's not pretty. Yet I did it anyway. :(
