The cast for season 8 of Dancing with the Stars was announced on ABC last night.

Belinda Carlisle (singer)
David Alan Grier (actor/comedian)
Jewel (singer)
Shawn Johnson (Olympic gymnast)
Lil' Kim (singer)
Gilles Marini (actor)
Ty Murray (rodeo athelete)
Steve-O (from "Jackass")
Nancy O'Dell ("Access Hollywood" co-anchor)
Denise Richards (actress)
Lawrence Taylor (obligatory football player)
Chuck Wicks (country singer)
Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple Computer)

Not many of the professional partners are known yet; we do know that Ty Murray will be paired with Karina, Denise Richards with Maksim, and Chuck Wicks with Julianne (who, once again, is participating after saying she wouldn't *g*).

FUCK YEAH STEVE WOZNIAK

I... really hope this season is more interesting and balanced than the last two and isn't completely dominated by one person, like Kristi in season 6 and Brooke last season.
