Some names are starting to trickle in on how is rumored to appear on the upcoming season. One is Valerie Harper...

I'm surprised her doctors would let her do that, but I'm happy for her if that is the case. I'm not sure if I believe it though.

I don't think so. Personally, I think this is just like the Stevie Wonder rumor from a few seasons ago. No way that any doctor would clear a woman who is fighting for her life to do something that strenuous.

I love Val. I'd love to see her do it. But, no doctor with a conscience would ever clear her for it. Too damn dangerous.

I also read Glee's Amber Reilly, Leah Remini, Keyshawn Johnson, Christina Milian, Elizabeth Berkley and Snooki

Valerie is not fighting for her life. She is terminally ill, so I could see this being on her bucket list. The stress could very well move up her expiration date, so I hope this is just a rumor.

And I hate to say it, but we all are thinking it. DWTS' credibility is all but shot to hell and the last thing the show needs is a dancer sticking around because they are terminal, especially if that dancer might have 2 left feet.

I'm so splitting my votes between Val Harper and Bill Nye.

Corbin Bleu They better anounce that he's on OLTL and dont just focus on his HSM past. He and Karina will make a good couple and could be the ones to beat.

Yay for Val!

Bill Nye the Science Guy. Childhood!

Jessica Myrtle Spano. She may be a trained dancer, but what I can say? I'm Jessie's girl! (See what I did there? )

I am actually excited about the celebs this year!

For this reason only and Valarie Harper I am watching...wouldnt otherwise

I about fell over when they announced Brant. Had no idea. So random.

I looked at the photo of Elizabeth Berkley and Maks' boring brother, and wow, she has completely destroyed her face. I don't even recognize her.

Brant..wub.....

I'm enjoying the new format. I felt the show was dragging for so long, so this is such a welcome change.

Brant and Leah were pretty good. This could end up being a really competitive season. I've heard they're all pretty good. We'll see about that I guess, lol.
