First response...talk about the stunt casting. Second response...really, these are the biggest stars you can get...anyway on to the cast

from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2009/02/dancing-with-th.html

Chuck Wicks--Country singer, Julianne's boyfriend and will be partnered with her. Oh, can't you give him to Edyta? Pwease!

Singer Jewel and her rodeo-riding husband, Ty Murray will both be competing.

Hm...what will we get if they make it to a trash talking filler clip round?

Shawn Johnson, gymnast, ZOMG, younger than Cody!!!

Lawrence Taylor, every season needs a football player

Nancy O'Dell from Access Hollywood

David Alan Grier, every season needs the funny guy

Lil' Kim, who will compete with Edyta to see who can be most naked

Steve "the Woz" Wozniak, every season needs a geek

Belinda Carlisle, singer who probably wants some sort of comeback

Denise Richards, because one reality TV show following you around is never complicated enough.

Gilles Marini from Sex in the City, because this is a family show we are casting for.

Speaking of family show and bringing back the original meaning of geek Steve-O

Kill.Me.Now.

And another SYTYCDer as a pro Chelsie Hightower will join the pros.
