'Dancing With the Stars': Meet the Season 9 contenders (none of whom are named Paula Abdul) | Show Tracker | Los Angeles Times

Interesting that a former House Majority Leader is now a Celebrity.... Tom DeLay

Or the guy who does the backflips on Iron Chef America on the food Network, the "Chairman" Mark Decascos.

And now we have the other half of "Donny and Marie"... Donny Osmond

And one of Ozzy's children.. Kelly Osbourne.

And FYI, NO Paula Abdul...

The full list is at the link

Should be an interesting season, lots of folks from different backgrounds, so hopefully the votes will be split up over the entire group of celebrities by the public, and we won't have a "Cloris Leachman" issue, where a fan favorite stays in longer than he/she deserves based on their dancing performance....

I've been a fan of Mark Decascos for ages...he's a martial artist and has the physical stuff down. Should be an interesting season!

Peace,
Roo

I have a feeling that will happen with Donny Osmond. It happened with Marie and he's much more popular.
