And the competitors include….talk show diva Ricki Lake, Cher’s son Chaz Bono, TV host Nancy Grace, basketball player Ron Artest, Kristin Cavallari of “Laguna Beach,” Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips (and daughter of Michelle and John Phillips of The Mamas and Papas), “Scream” star David Arquette, and “Queer Eye on the Straight Guy” style maven Carson Kressley.  There’s also a Kardashian brother and an Iraqi war veteran turned motivational speaker.

Any predictions on who will be the breakout dance star? The athletes have done very well in past seasons, but my money’s on Ricki Lake!
