DWTS New Season Contestants Sneak Peek – Real Housewife And Complete Train Wreck Among The Names!

The official unveiling of the latest contestants for the new season of Dancing with the Stars won’t be announced until Tuesday, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned some of the names that will be competing to lift the coveted Mirror Ball.

It’s gearing up to be a stellar season 16 — with a favorite (and outspoken) Real Housewife as well as a train wreck-turned-sober-for-now comic among the new contestants — read on to find out who!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump will be competing alongside the always outrageous Andy Dick, Radar is exclusively reporting – and we can’t wait to see him bust out the Foxtrot!

Also along for the ride will be former American Idol star Kellie Pickler, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, boxer Victor Ortiz, Baltimore Ravens’ Jacoby Jones and another comedian D.L. Hughley.

And, RadarOnline.com can confirm the rumors that have been swirling around for weeks that hunky Sean Lowe of the Bachelor is penciled in to be taking part too — although a source tells Radar exclusively it’s unlikely he will be named Tuesday as part of the official line up — as producers are still trying to iron out some contractual issues before making the announcement.

Wynonna Judd is another name that’s been mentioned, before Good Morning America makes the official announcement on February 26. But Radar hasn’t had confirmation on the country music star yet.

Meanwhile, someone who looks likely to not be returning is ballroom bad boy Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The 33-year-old dancer, who has been on the show since Season 2 and was recently seen teaming up with Kirstie Alley on the hit show’s All-Stars edition, announced he was about to embark on something completely different.

“BAM! Someone landed in LA LA LAND! So many peeps to catch up with! So much exciting stuff coming up!” he Tweeted on Friday, adding, “#OutWithTheOld,” he wrote.

@DWTSGossip #DWTS rumors ... Andy Dick with a new pro. Lisa Vanderpump with Gleb

This show has really sunk to an all time low if they have Andy Dick as a contestant.

by umngirl Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:30 pm

I can honestly say the only parts of this season I will watch include Aly and Sean (if he's on). The rest, no thanks.

by MissLittle Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:41 pm

The show has officially jumped the shark. :headbanging

Oh, DWTS --- I hardly knew ye... If Sean's on, I'll watch his dances. Might catch Kellie Pickler's just to hear whatever she'll say. Depending on Tony's partner, I might catch his dances as well. The rest just doesn't interest me. Switching out half the pros ain't helping the viewing pleasure for this former avid watcher, either.

If Sean is on, I would vote for him otherwise no

I moved this Forum up for today. The cast is being announced and I know several members here are excited about it! :)

I will move it back into the DWTS main Forum later though.

(ABC NEWS/GOOD MORNING AMERICA) - Musicians, athletes and TV personalities are among the new crop of celebrity contestants who will take to the dance floor on season 16 of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The new cast of ABC’s hit show was revealed today, exclusively on “Good Morning America,” and the headliners include country music legend Wynonna Judd, former “Idol” contestant Kellie Pickler, reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump and NFL star Jacoby Jones.

Jones isn’t the only athlete on the show. Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, professional boxer Victor Ortiz, and figure skating legend Dorothy Hamill will compete this season. Comedians D.L. Hughley and Andy Dick, as well as “General Hospital” star Ingo Rademacher, and Disney star Zendaya Coleman round out the star-studded pack.

Hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet appeared live on “GMA” from Studio B in Los Angeles today to make the highly-anticipated announcement of the cast.

The new season kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Monday, March 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC50. The couple with the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes for their performance will be sent home in the season premiere of "Dancing With the Stars: The Results Show."

Wynonna Judd

Country music great Wyonna Judd will bring a dose of Nashville, Tenn., to the dance floor this season. The five-time-Grammy-winner-turned-reality-TV-star rose to fame as a country music duo with her mother, Naomi, but broke out on her own to have a successful solo career with more than a dozen No. 1 singles.

D.L. Hughley

Stand-up comedian D.L. Hughley will give “Dancing” a whirl this season. The comic shot to fame on the sitcom, “The Hughleys,” and went on to become a TV personality and pundit.

Jacoby Jones

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver is the latest NFL star to put his football footwork to the test in the ballroom. Jones, who’s known for his victory dances in the end zone, joins the “DWTS” cast on the heels of the Ravens’ big Super Bowl victory where he scored two touchdowns. The 28-year-old follows in the footsteps of past NFL stars Donald Driver, Hines Ward and Emmitt Smith, who won the competition.

Lisa Vanderpump

“Real Housewife of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Vanderpump is competing this season. The British TV personality, restaurateur and bestselling author is best known for her role on the Bravo reality show about her luxurious lifestyle -- and her Pomeranian Giggy.

Andy Dick

Comedian Andy Dick is bringing his quips and humor to the dance floor this season.

Victor Ortiz

Professional boxer Victor Ortiz, a former welterweight champion, will enter the “Dancing” ring this season.

Zendaya Coleman

The Disney star, known by her fans as Zendaya, is an actress, singer and dancer on the Disney channel’s hit series “Shake It Up” and at 16, will be the youngest contestant ever on the show. Coleman plays Rocky Blue, a young dancer trying to dance her way to stardom, and is currently recording her debut album.

Aly Raisman

Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman is going for the “Dancing” gold. The gymnast became a household name as part of women's gymnastics team’s “Fierce Five” at the London Olympics last summer, where she took home a gold medal for her performance on floor.

Ingo Rademacher

The German-born actor, best known for his longtime role as Jasper “Jax” Jacks.

Kellie Pickler

No stranger to reality TV competition, country music singer Kellie Pickler will put her skills to the test on “Dancing.” The former “American Idol” contestant will be the first competitor to cross over from “Idol.” Pickler made headlines in September for shaving off her long blonde hair in support of her childhood friend battling breast cancer.

Dorothy Hamill

The figure skating great will trade her ice skates for dancing shoes to compete this season. Hamill, 56, won the 1976 Olympic gold medal in women's figure skating at age 19, wowing audiences with her envelope-pushing spins on the ice and her iconic hair.

Tony got Wynnona Judd. It doesn't look like Sean is on the show. I may watch since Kellie Pickler's on but not sure if I will since Derek's back. I thought he wouldn't be. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
