2/19: Dancing With the Stars latest lineup
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
ABC has put together what looks like a fun crew for the latest “Dancing With the Stars,” including the first deaf performer, Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin. Take that, Heather “missing a leg” Mills! ABC introduced the dozen during the finale of “Dance Wars” tonight.
“Deaf people can do anything except hear. My deafness will limit my ability only if I let it,” says Matlin, to USA Today.. Matlin is currently on Showtime’s “The L Word.”
“Seeing as I haven’t let my it affect my acting, I don’t think I’ll have more difficulty than other cast members,” she says. “You try to imagine what it’s like when you can’t hear the music. I’ll let my partner be my music.”
Some other big names include Priscilla Presley, the elder stateswoman at age 62; R&B hottie Mario, magician Penn Jillette, Olympic gold medal winner skater Kristi Yamaguchi (an immediate favorite, right), tennis star Monica Seles and “Police Academy’ star Steve Guttenberg.
The others include Tony winning actress Marissa Jaret Winokur. Radio personality Adam Carolla should provide comic relief. “American Pie” actress Shannon Elizabeth should provide eye candy. Latino actor Christian de la Fuente is also eye candy and Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor.
The show premieres March 17.

I look forward to seeing good fun bag motion and many of those wonderful “lunch at the “Y” ” shots. Will that little blonde slit break wind again?

I kind of agree with lovelyliz, however I’ll be watching just to see Mario and Jason Taylor. Once they get voted off I’ll tune out.

Kimmer: Classy comments, and you’re stupid, as well. Hit ‘post’ once, then be patient. Moron.

Barak Obama should be on the show.
He will have a lot of time on his hands when Bill and Hillary steal the Dem nomination from him and the voters.

What? Lindsay Wagner was overlooked AGAIN? The bionic woman was robbed. Wanna see her dance; she’d solve crimes simultaneously and look glam all the while!

BIG SCOOP! Rodney wrote: “Latino actor Christian de la Fuente is also eye candy and Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor.” The fact that Christian de la Fuente is also Jason Taylor shouldn’t be buried at the bottom of this blog post; it should be on the front page. Of the Living section.

I am always looking forward to the start of the show. I really enjoy the dancing and competing no matter who it is.Karina and Mario are my all time favorites and Cheryl Burke is amazing, also. I really enjoyed Emmitt Smith with Cheryl.Julianne is absolutely georgeous, fantastic dancer and I do have a hard time choosing between those three dancers; Karina,Cheryl, and Julianne. It will depend on who they are paired with and how much I enjoy them as a couple. I am anxious to see Priscilla Presley only because we are the same age. They all are just great and I wish I could ball room dance myself.I am also a fan of Maxim but he will be missed this year. Good luck to them all.

MARIO all the way! I’m rooting for MARIO! He can dance. He is not a washed up has been with horrible plastic surgery and botox like Plastic Priscilla. Mario and Christy are going to do very good because of their athletism and ability to dance.
