Dancing With the Stars season 9 cast is revealed! What dancers do you think actually made the cut, since many names were rumored and thrown out in the public foray? I think abc throws names out there to distract everyone from who is actually on the show and practicing behind the scenes!

More pictures of stars after the twirl…

There are several surprises if you ask me! Here’s the lineup, via the NY Daily News:

 Among the the cast are models Kathy Ireland and Joanna Krupa, singers Macy Gray and Mya, actress Melissa Joan Hart, Ashley Hamilton, son of former contestant George Hamilton, chef and Food TV star Mark Dacascos, singer Aaron Carter, Kelly Osbourne, actress and “Entourage” cast member Debbie Mazar and Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin.

A few more names include former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, UFC fighter Chuck Liddell, ex Cowboy Michael Irvin, and Olympic snowboarder Louie Vito. Not making the cut were Audrina Patridge, Tori Spelling or Paula Abdul.

So what’s your dibs? Who’s going to win DWTS this season?  I think the athletes might have a better chance this year, since they are used to the rigors of practice more.
