2012 'Dancing with the Stars' cast

http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/tv-zone-1.811968/dancing-with-the-stars-cast-names-and-thoughts-1.3563322


The 14th season of "Dancing with the Stars" arrives March 14, and the cast announcement arrives . . . right now. Here are the names, and some quick observations. Naturally, the football star is favored.

-- Jack Wagner/Anna Trebunskaya: Durable and well-liked TV star, but not the superstar that would ensure the desire of ABC to keep him in the running for the entire season. But could still surprise.

-- Melissa Gilbert/Maksim Chmerkovskiy: At age 47, she's right in the sweet spot of "DWTS" demo; plus she has Maks as her partner, which means she'll get plenty of attention throughout her run.

-- William Levy/Cheryl Burke: A major telenovela star, but not a major star here; he's paired with J.Lo in one of her recent music videos, "I'm Into You."

-- Donald Driver/Peta Murgatroyd: Packers' wide receiver, and already favored to win the whole thing (rule of "DWTS:" Great athletes always always always have the edge.)

-- Sherri Shepherd/Val Chmerkovskiy: "The View"-ster. Should do well here.

-- Katherine Jenkins/Mark Ballas: Katherine who? That's the problem right off the bat. In fact, she's an accomplished crossover singer -- well known in the UK, much less so here.

-- Gavin DeGraw/Karina Smirnoff: Fairly major singing star who could play well across the spectrum of viewers - so-called "C & D country" crowd, a TV term, meaning smaller markets, where "DWTS" has an especially big draw - and maybe even big cities too. (I always figured DeGraw had a biggish country appeal, too, even he's from NYC.) Check out his big hit -- or one of 'em -- below -- and try to guess which show this tracks on. Oh you know! "One Tree Hill."

-- Martina Navratilova/Tony Dovolani: Tennis superstar who should go reasonably far, but all the way to the end?

-- Roshon Fegan/Chelsie Hightower: The requisite in-house ABC star -- from the Disney Channel, and unknown to the largely older "DWTS" But not to be discounted -- youth can sometimes be a nice advantage here.

- Maria Menounos/Derek Hough: Look quickly and you could almost confuse Menounos with Brooke Burke. She's another reasonably well-known name who should go pretty far. Like her chances here quite a bit, in fact - especially with Derek.

-- Jaleel White/ Kym Johnson: Urkel, of course, and in some ways the very best known name of this entire cast ('nother rule of thumb -- fame, even if it arrived on an old ABC sitcom a couple of decades ago, never hurts.) He comes in almost certainly with a big "I Like this Guy" sticker on his back; viewers should warm to him, but will the judges?

-- Gladys Knight/Tristan McManus: Maybe the most intriguing addition to this season's cast. Gladys Knight!? What is she doing here? Distinguished. Beloved singer. Still very, very active. But age -- 67 -- is a massive issue. This show can physically be a killer.

Now that Maria is in super sick shape, I am sure she will be rocking all the super revealing costumes. My DH can watch her and i am going to be watching the super hottie telanovella guy... Never heard of him but he looks good.

Yes! I don't know how these dancers are paired with their partners but Derek def. gets his share of beautiful, young partners with potential!

Cheryl Burke is another one. She got William Levy! All eyes will be on him and that guy looks like he got moves!

Re: 2012 'Dancing with the Stars' cast

I usually love this show however this cast makes me not interested. Why not give Maks Maria? Why did he get Melissa Gilbert?? Sherri seems to be the one that will bring the laughs on the show. Tristan with Gladys Night??? I thought they would bring back Corky Ballas Marks dad for her. He did well with Cloris when she was on.

Cast sounds like a snoozer with the exception of Urkel, but I'll be watching since I love the show. When does it start?
