Rap star Romeo Miller is on tap for this season.  He has sold over 10 million records, won a Grammy and was voted one of the Top Five Sexist Men in the World.  Miller is also a record company CEO, president of a clothing line and charity worker.  What a great candidate for "Dancing With the Stars."

Former playboy bunny and current reality TV personality Kendra Wilkinson is one of the big Hollywood names along with actors Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley.

Macchio was the original Karate Kid if you recall. He is currently a writer, director and producer.  Alley, a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, will hopefully shed some weight and get in great shape like many of her predecesors have done in the past.

Also joining the set, will be radio and entertainment presenter Mike Catherwood; radio presenter and daytime TV talk show host, Wendy Williams; and Chelsea Kane, veteran of the big screen and the Disney Channel.
