After 19 seasons of hobbling faded celebrities through forcing them to perform complicated dance moves, then feeding them into the abattoir to make mediocre glue, Dancing With The Stars has announced that it has finally run out of stars. The ABC reality series revealed the cast for its 20th season this morning, a day that marked the first time in decades that Patti LaBelle and Suzanne Somers were considered “big gets.” The rest of the list is filled out with various athletes and Olympians, a model known for a single Carl’s Jr. ad, and Bruce Willis’ daughter. There is also the obnoxious guy from now-defunct party band LMFAO. No, the other one.

Here is the complete cast list, interspersed with some people we just made up. See if you can spot which ones! You can’t.

Noah Galloway: a double-amputee Iraqi War vet.

Robert Herjavec: a Canadian entrepreneur and Shark Tank judge.

Chet Clappington: inventor of that novelty hat with the hands where you pull on the string and they clap.

Patti LaBelle: Patti LaBelle.

Nastia Liukin: Olympic gymnast.

June Barnes: A crazy woman who straight-up lied to producers about playing the mom on Growing Pains and no one bothered to check.

Riker Lynch: singer in the band R5; also, one of five people who know the band R5.

Charlotte McKinney: girl in the Carl’s Jr. commercial—you know, the one with the girl wearing a bikini and eating a burger?

Michael Sam: first publicly gay player to be drafted by the NFL; first publicly gay player to be forced to go on Dancing With The Stars because he has nothing but downtime right now.

Sgt. Slaughter: The wrestler you wish were on this show; oh man, that would be awesome.

Willow Shields: played Primrose Everdeen in The Hunger Games, a character who is specifically there to not do anything.

Suzanne Somers: promoter of insane medical theories, occasional actress, master of thighs.

Rumer Willis: daughter of actual stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, which is close enough.

Potato Salad: The potato salad from that potato salad Kickstarter.

Redfoo: the crazy afro guy in LMFAO, that crappy band with the crazy afro guy.

Pamela From Your Work: Go Pamela!

Having officially exhausted the concept of “stardom,” Dancing With The Stars is already looking forward to its 21st season, when it will cull 12 random people from the streets and have them compete over standing very still.

Just found it amusing!!!!!!! Lack of further story lines--aka loss of viewers--is generally what causes shows to finish their run!!!!

This is hysterical!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Ha ha! I have kids who watch DC, so I know who R5 is. Ryker is way less famous than his brother Ross, though. I forgot that they are Hough cousins. Should be interesting.

I'm really excited to see what Sharna can do with the Iraq war vet.  I hope they kick some butt out there.  I'd love to see them win the mirrorball trophy.  I tweeted my support to the two of them this afternoon and he (Noah) favorited my tweet.  Amy Purdy also posted a tweet of support to them, saying this:  "If you need any leg tips and tricks you know who to ask!  Have fun!"  Love her for that!

That was nice of Amy. He is one of the few that I hadn't heard of, but I bet he will get a good following.

Yay....it's here :o) sooooooo excited for the new season to start :o) wahooo!!!!!


So I'm a bit bummed still no ultimate man crush monday Matt Bomer (maybe next season?) and my dream of seeing Tara Lipinski AND Johnny Weir still hasn't happened.....but needless to say I am PUMPED UP!!!!!


I hope I don't get heck on the board for this but I will be rooting for Nastia and Derek.  I have been hoping for Nastia to be on the show for a while so I will be rooting for her unless someone else catches my eye.  I didn't know Derek was coming back.  Maybe Nastia said the only way she'd do dancing is if she could be partnered with Derek....you never know.

So Whitney is the last person to be paired up and is rumored to be with Chris Soules??  I am not a fan of his so I will not be voting for him.

Hi Carrie!!!!  I'm so excited for this season too   I thing Tony and Suzanne could be a good couple and I like Nastia too......I think one of my fav's is going to be Emma and Red Foo.....I like Val and Rumor ....LOL......well I like several of them this season........but I really wish we'd have gotten Johnny too....LOL
