Meet Your New Dancing 'Stars'

Former champion athlete? Check. Older actor not afraid to poke fun at himself? Check. Oscar winner? Yep, check that one too.
Throw in a couple more Hollywood types, a teenage rapper, a pro wrestling "diva" and a guy from ESPN, and you have yourself a "Dancing with the Stars" cast.
ABC unveiled on Thursday (Dec. 8) the names of the 10 more-or-less people who'll be taking part in the second edition of "Dancing with the Stars," which premieres Thursday, Jan. 5. The contestants include several people who were rumored to be taking part, like future NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice and Drew "Nick's brother" Lachey.
Among the names ABC managed to keep under wraps successfully are famously tanned actor George Hamilton, "Paper Moon" Oscar winner Tatum O'Neal, ESPN wiseacre Kenny Mayne -- who, provided he sticks around a little while, should have some fun with the cheese-tastic show -- and Stacy Kiebler, a long-legged World Wrestling Entertainment "diva."
Actresses Lisa Rinna ("Veronica Mars") and Tia Carrere -- who tangoed with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "True Lies" -- newscaster Giselle Fernandez and teen rapper Romeo round out the field.
As with the show's inaugural run this summer, each celebrity will be paired with a professional ballroom dancer (some returnees, some new) to perform various steps. A combination of audience voting and scores from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli will determine who stays and who goes each week. Tom Bergeron returns as host.
