New "Dancing" Stars Announced

Ready to tango with another season of "Dancing with the Stars?" You're not the only one. ABC announced the next crop of celeb contestants. Here's the rundown:

• Aaron Carter: Teen singing sensation, brother of a Backstreet Boy.
• Ashley Hamilton: Star of Sunset Beach, son of George.
• Chuck Liddell: MMA/UFC champion, all-around bad-ass.
• Debi Mazar: Actress, last seen on "Entourage."
• Donny Osmond: "Tiger Beat"coverboy, all-around nice guy.

Does that list seem a little long? USA Today says the show's roster is the largest to date -- and double the size of the first season. Obviously, we have to see what talent each contestant has (if any). By announcements alone, who is your favorite to win? More importantly, who is your favorite to walk the first week?

"Dancing with the Stars" will kick off its ninth season with a 3-night extravaganza starting on Monday, September 17 on ABC. -- Rachel Cericola
