Dancing with the Stars

Just saw that the contestants for the next season of Dancing with the Stars was recently released.  This is a weird group!

Here are the stars who you'll see vying for the coveted mirror-ball trophy this season and their ballroom partners:

Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson (I think Carlton will do well; he's got rhythm!)

Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas (not sure about this one; Sadie's a little young and conservative.  I don't think she'll show a lot of emotion and will be a bit stiff).

Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater (he's a NASCAR driver)

Lolo Jones and Keo Motsepe (I CAN NOT STAND LoLo Jones.  I think she's going to choke.  Just like she's done her whole life).

Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker (he's from Mean Girls)

Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev (Lea Thompson???  From Howard the Duck???)

Antonio Sabato Jr. and Cheryl Burke (Antonio's going to bring some Latin heat to the competition)

Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff (retired mixed martial artist)

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy (she's from Pretty Little Liars)

Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatryod (if Tommy Chong can stay focused and off the weed, I think he may be a surprise to everyone).

Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani (luv, luv, luv Betsey Johnson!  She's so spunky and sassy!)

Bethany Mota and Derek Hough (she's a video blogger or something like that).

Tavis Smiley and Sharna Burgess (he's a political commentator and PBS host).
