'Dancing with the Stars' cast revealed

ABC's hit show Dancing with the Stars is back in a couple weeks, and the new cast includes Maryland native Toni Braxton (left); daytime television's Susan Lucci, who is known for her portrayal of the character Erika Kane on All My Children; and Paris Hilton's infamous former best friend Kim Kardashian.

Braxton, a Grammy Award-winning singer, will be paired with Alec Mazo, Lucci will be paired with Tony Dovolani, and Kardashian will be paired with Mark Ballas.

The rest of the lineup:

Lance Bass, singer and actor, who will be paired with So You Think You Can Dance alumna Lacey Schwimmer. Brooke Burke, a model and television host, will be paired with Derek Hough. Rocco DiSpirito, the chef and cookbook author who starred in the reality television show The Restaurant, will be paired with Karina Smirnoff. Maurice Greene, the gold-medal-winning Olympic sprinter, will be paired with Cheryl Burke. Cloris Leachman, Oscar-winning actress, will be teamed with Corky Ballas. Cody Linley, the Hannah Montana co-star, will be paired with Julianne Hough. Misty May-Treanor, a two-time gold medal beach volleyball player, will team with Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Ted McGinley, an actor, will partner with Inna Brayer. Jeffrey Ross, a comedian, will be paired with Edyta Sliwinska. Warren Sapp, a former NFL player, will team with Kym Johnson.

I know the show hasn't started, but do you have any idea who has the best dancing ability? And who will be the first contestant out? I think Bass should do well on the show. He spent all those years as a member of the heavily choreographed group 'N Sync. Check it out when the show returns Sept. 22.
