Cheese aficionados, mark your calendars: We’re officially less than a month away from the Sept. 12 season premiere of Dancing With the Stars, and the cast for the show’s third installment got announced on today’s Good Morning America. The 11 folks who’ll straddle the tricky line between career rehabilitation and immolation include: Jerry Springer, Vivica A. Fox, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson (as Susman warned you Friday), Blossom’s Joseph ”Joey” Lawrence, NFL star Emmit Smith, Saved by the Bell’s Mario Lopez (pictured), one-hit wonder Willa ”I Wanna Be Bad” Ford, High School Musical’s Monique Coleman, country star Sara Evans, Harry Hamlin (husband of the show’s new co-host, Lisa Rinna), and Shanna Moakler of Meet the Barkers.
Now seeing as former pop heartthrobs Joey McIntyre and Drew Lachey finished third and first respectively in DWTS‘ first two seasons, I’d say Lawrence has a good shot to go far this year, provided he brings what he brung to his super-dope video for 1993’s ”Nothin My Love Can’t Fix.” Ch-ch-check it.
That said, aren’t all these chumps really running for second money up against Copperhead? Seriously, the way Vivica A. Fox’s middle initial puts the "A" in ass-kicking, she could probably slay that bow-tied talking-head dude with a simple sideways glance, don’tcha think? Carrie Ann Inaaaahhhba, you’ve been warned.

Oh my gosh, I never ever thought I would watch this show but with that line up I just might.
I have always been a closeted big fan of Joey Lawerence – even when I was in the closet. I think he is hot hot hot! Would love to see him and Ricky Martin together.
Slater us to do a lot of break dancing in Saved By the Bell, so he should do pretty good.
I’m gonna Tivo this season.
Oooh this is good. I’m excited for Shanna Moakler. She needs a little pick-me-up right now. However, if she plans on being as lazy as she was on Meet the Barkers, then she’ll be the first to go. Hamlin might turn out to be a ringer – I’m sure he’s been practicing. I think my money’s gonna be on Slater. He’s latin – those boys can move.
I’m totally giddy that Mario Lopez will be participating… even before, uh, “Wowing” us with his dancing on Saved By The Bell he started out as a supporting cast dancer on the kids show KIDS, INC. — which I totally was addicted to as a kid.
Can’t wait!
Don’t forget that Slater also played a Latin dance teacher in an episode of Popular – he should do quite well between that, Saved by the Bell, and Kids, Inc!
First, let me start by saying that I am not a regular viewer of DWTS. This is mainly because of the time slot that it is in. I think that it would definitely spice up the show if one of the dances that was performed was an Urban/Hip-Hop number. It was definitely attract a lot of younger viewers. Just look at the success that “Step Up” had this week-end.
Jerry Springer??? Cool, do you think they will be fist fights?
The show isn’t about urban/hip hop dancing though. That is what So You Think. . . is for. Besides, I really don’t want to see Jerry Springer getting down with his bad self!
I think I read about this story earlier in Who Cares? magazine.
Wow, AC is all the rage this season.
First, Nip/Tuck and now this. Even with Dustin Diamond’s alleged rape charge, the SBTB boys are back in the news.
Where are you MP-Gosselar? It’s been too long.
WHOA! I can’t wait to see Joey (er, Joseph) Lawrence! It will be between him and Slater. Yay! Can’t wait!
I am a bit bummed that Samantha Harris is no longer the co-host. She was really good! I guess we’ll just have to watch her on E!
We love Mario! Hottie McFine!
Uggly Betty moving to Thurs night at 8pm on ABC from Friday night.
Yippee!!
Wow, I can totally see Joey Lawrence and Ricky Martin as a couple. But, seriously, this is A.C. Slater’s competition to lose. Random thought: Does Mario Lopez have some serious dirt on TV big whigs? He’s starring on Dancing with the Stars, and I thought I remember hearing he would be joining the cast of Lost. I also remember reading that he would be on Nip/Tuck as a possible flame of Dr. Troy’s. Can anyone confirm? And I swear I am not obsessed with Mario Lopez….
Thank goodness Dancing With The Stars is returning. I love that show. I wonder if Harry will do as well as Lisa did…NAH.
I wasn’t going to watch until I found out Tucker’s in for the season. In my heart of hearts, I want to see that cat choke on his feet the same way he does when a decent guest comes on his show and schools him, as the Jon Stewart clip so clearly demonstrates. Thanks for the clip!
I think I read that post in “Nathan’s a Schmuck” magazine.
P.S. I hope it’s an A.C./Joey Showdown.
Somebody give Vivica an acting job, quick. She deserves better than this.
I cannot wait to see A.C. Slater dance on the show. Even though I loved him on Kids, INC. He stole my heart when he and Kelly Kapowski won second place in the dance contest at the Max. Too bad Lisa Turtle danced with a broken leg and got the sympathy vote for she and Screech—otherwise, Slater would have totally won!
I agree, Vivica deserves better but after “The Starlet,” “DWTS” is a big step up.
Vivica all the WAY!
Mario Lopez was at a sidewaqlk cafe last weekend on crutches. He was wearing just one shoe and had a white sock on what looked like a very swollen foot. Wonder what happened to his foot
i was sooooooo bummed that shanna got kicked off the second week.She desereved a chance to prove that she could do it.Willa ford was my favorite and she too went way too soon.She was one of the best dancers out there and i voted for her every week.
Can anyone tell me if Lance Bass was ever a contestant on Dancing with the stars?

On 5/4/2009, the judge named Bruno made a very disgusting remark about Little Kim. I am a 62 yr old African American woman and I felt as if someone had just attacked my daughter. Shame on you
