Dancing With The Stars Season 11 Cast Revealed

The cast for season 23 of Dancing With the Stars has been revealed – it’s actually season 11, it only feels like the 23rd installment of 12 fame whores, athletes, reality TV morons and kinda/sorta celebrities and entertainers matched with professional ballroom dance partners for a shot at the disco ball trophy.

The new ‘DWTS’ cast includes Brady Bunch mom Florence Henderson, David Hasselhoff, NFL quarterback Kurt Warner and Bristol Palin. That the new cast was unveiled by DWTS hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke Monday night during a new episode of Bachelor Pad pretty much sets the appropriate tone for another season of this pop culture spectacle.

Check out the complete Dancing With the Stars season 11 cast line-up below:

Michael Bolton - I own his greatest hits. It pains me to see him do this, yet it makes sense. Total sense. My pick to win it all.

Margaret Cho – She’s funny. She’s also my pick for first to go home.

Rick Fox - Filling one of requisite ‘athlete’ spots, already occupied by the likes of Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, the former Laker / aspiring actor is a good choice. He probably said yes before his agent could finish asking if he wanted to do it.

Jennifer Grey – We’re along way from Dirty Dancing. I have a feeling enough ‘older’ folks hold that movie dear to them and will consequently throw their support behind Gray. There’s also a 100% chance one of her dances will be to a song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

David Hasselhoff - This is a match made in reality TV heaven. The Hoff pretty much had to do this show, right? That it took until season 11 is the real mystery here. He has to be a favorite out of the gate.

Florence Henderson - I love the Brady Bunch, so I love Florence Henderson. Here’s your ‘older’ cast member for the season. She’s going to hurt herself, I know it.

Kyle Massey - No idea who this is. Someone tells me he was on the show That’s So Raven, which means nothing to me because I am, ya know, not 12 years-old.

Brandy Norwood - When did she add the last name? She and her brother Ray J have this crap reality show on VH1 known as Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business.

Bristol Palin – I guess this is supposed to be the ‘oh my god!’ cast pick. This will have the knuckleheads on Access Hollywood and MSNBC talking.

Audrina Patridge - The sexy cast member. I have to applaud Patridge. I just never thought she’d still be dancing along the edge of the pop culture blade for this long. I don’t expect much from Patridge besides an abundance of cleavage shots and rehearsal footage where she’s dressed in, oh… I don’t know, like a bikini? Somewhere Heidi Montag is annoyed.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino -Give this guy’s agent a hand (grenade). He will be shirtless, he will be ‘in character’ and he might benefit the most of them all – win or lose.

Kurt Warner -The just-retired Warner is likable enough. This feels like the last pick of the bunch. It was either him or a former Rock of Love cast member, so the producers opted for the Super Bowl-winning QB who’ll look a cute when he’s trying the foxtrot.
