'Dancing With the Stars': How They Pair Up
by Richard Sharp
The dancers for the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" were announced three days ago, and there were some surprises, some controversy, and a little bit of disappointment, as some of the higher-profile rumored guests (like Snooki and Queen Latifah) were a no-go on the show.
This season we've got U.S. Women's Soccer goalie Hope Solo, the transgendered son of Sonny and Cher, Chaz Bono, L.A. Laker Ron Artest, recently rehabbed party boy David Arquette, loud-mouthed news jockey Nancy Grace, Clooney ex Elisabetta Canalis and many more.
"Dancing with the Stars" producers recently revealed which pro dancers the cast will be pairing up with, including some new additions to the all-pro staff.
Check those out below:
• Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
