Dancing’s New Celebrity Lineup Announced

Three athletes, a magician and an Oscar-winning actress are just some of the celebrities who’ve signed on to compete on the sixth season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

The cast was revealed on Monday night’s Dance War finale. On Tuesday, Good Morning America will announce which pro dancers will be paired with the celebrity contestants.

Here’s a rundown of who’s on board for the March 17 premiere:

Telenovela star Cristian de la Fuente

R&B singer Mario

Magician Penn Jillette

Actor Steve Guttenberg

Olympic Gold Medal Figure Skater Kristi Yamaguchi

Former tennis pro Monica Seles

NFL Player Jason Taylor

Actress Shannon Elizabeth


Radio/TV personality Adam Carolla

Actress Marissa Jaret Winokur

Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin

Actress Priscilla Presley




The announcement comes after months of media leaks on the Web. But still, there are some surprises, including Presley and current Miami Dolphin star Taylor — who told PEOPLE days before the announcement that he hadn’t informed his coaches or his teammates of his off-season endeavor.

“I’m going to turn off my text-messaging and my cell phone,” said Taylor in anticipation of a likely onslaught of ribbing from his colleagues.

Not that Dancing is for slouches. As earlier contestants can attest, the schedule is both mentally and physically demanding.

Half of the contestants will perform live on the March 17 premiere, and the other half will perform their first dances on Tuesday, March 18.

On March 24, the entire cast will perform a second dance. After the judges’ scores are combined with the popular fan vote for both weeks, two celebrities will be eliminated on the March 25 results show.

Marlee Matlin is deaf. How will she hear the music to dance?

Just feel the beat?

My money's on Jason Taylor. He's cute, he's athletic. He's cute.

Re: Dancing’s New Celebrity Lineup Announced

Every season starts off with everyone saying the line up stinks. But most turn out to be interesting/dramatic/funny. At least this year I know who most of the people are.

Chat Icon I was just thinking how great it was, because I actually know every person. I think it will be an interesting season. I'm curious to see how Marlee Matlin dances, since she is deaf.

Many people with hearing impairments dance rather well and enjoy music with a strong beat that they feel through vibrations. They compensate.

Re: Dancing’s New Celebrity Lineup Announced

I can't remember a season when I was excited about the lineup - but by the end I was cheerin for my favorites - I had no idea who Helio when last season started.

I loved Kristi Yamaguchi back in the day!

and I think it's great that Marlee Matlin is doing it - sends such a nice message.
