Bristol Palin, The Situation among 'Dancing' stars

Date: Tuesday Aug. 31, 2010 8:20 AM ET

LOS ANGELES — The mother of "The Brady Bunch," one of the "guidos" from "Jersey Shore" and the daughter of Sarah Palin are among the celebrities on the 11th season of "Dancing with the Stars."

Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke, hosts of the ballroom competition, which airs in Canada on CTV, announced the cast Monday.

"The Brady Bunch" matriarch Florence Henderson, retired Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, "Jersey Shore" co-star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Bristol Palin are among the 12 celebrities who will be paired with professional dance partners and train before their prime-time premiere Sept. 20. How does Palin's mother feel about her dancing gig?

"She's excited for me," said Bristol. "She knows that this is going to be hard work, but she's excited."

Also competing for the mirrorball trophy will be: "When a Man Loves a Woman" singer Michael Bolton, comedian-actress Margaret Cho, former Los Angeles Lakers forward Rick Fox, "Dirty Dancing" actress Jennifer Grey, "Baywatch" actor David Hasselhoff, Disney Channel star Kyle Massey, singer-actress Brandy Norwood and "The Hills" co-star Audrina Patridge.

"I'm happy to be here," said Hasselhoff. "My two daughters love this show, and they convinced me."

The names of most of the celebrity contestants, save for 19-year-old "That's So Raven" and "Cory in the House" star Kyle Massey, had been widely rumored as competitors in the weeks leading up to Monday's official announcement, which was broadcast live during "Bachelor Pad." The first celebrity and their professional partner will be eliminated Sept. 21.

CTV, the quotes should be around "stars" not "Dancing" in the headline. The only one that really has any fame is Florence Henderson. The rest? Who cares?

To Tyrone....Who says the ratings are through the roof when she appears? The show hasn't even started yet. I find it strange what makes people "stars" these days.

Palin is a Star because the ratings are through the roof when she appears. I hope she wins.
