ABC announced today the pairings for season 11′s new star cast. Here they are:

1. Anna Trebunskaya with retired NFL pro Kurt Warner (hmmm…could be good)
2. Chelsie Hightower with singer Michael Bolton (so interesting since she usually gets the young stars)
3. Cheryl Burke with actor/retired NBA player Rick Fox (she always gets the hotties)
4. Corky Ballas with “Mom Brady” Florence Henderson (they always trot out the master Corky for the mature women)
5. Derek Hough with actress Jennifer Grey (yea! she got the best male dancer on the show, should be cool)
6. Karina Smirnoff with reality person “The Situation” (do you think she’ll call him that in rehearsals?_
7. Kym Johnson with actor/singer David Hasselhoff (yea Kym’s back!)
8. Lacey Schwimmer with actor/rapper Kyle Massey (Lacey is the other person who gets the young ones and she got him)
9. Louis Van Amstel with comedienne Margaret Cho (he always seems to get the funny girls)
10. Maksim Chmerkovskiy with singer/actress Brandy (if she’s good it could be his year for the trophy)
11. Mark Ballas with Bristol Palin (I have no descriptor for her, she’s just on the show)
12. Tony Dovolani with reality star Audrina Patridge (I can’t see her having talent, but if she does this could also be Tony’s year–he would deserve it after the Kate disaster)

Season starts September 20th, a whole 19 days away!!! As rumors and rehearsal pictures begin to surface, I’ll get you all the news. Let the new season begin!
