The reality series begins its eighth season on March 9th on ABC. Here is the list of the celebrities who will be competing: Belinda Carlisle - former Go-Go's lead singer eliminatedDavid Alan Grier - actor/comedian Jewel - Pop/Country singer dropped out due to injuryShawn Johnson - Olympic gold medal gymnast Lil' Kim - rapper Holly Madison - Playboy Playmate & Reality TV's Girl Next Door[/b][/s] eliminatedGilles Marini - actor (appeared in the Sex & The City movie) Ty Murray - rodeo champion AND Jewel's husband Nancy O'Dell - TV host (Access Hollywood) dropped out due to injuryDenise Richards - Reality TV star/actress eliminatedMelissa Rycroft - winner, this season of ABC's The BachelorSteve-O - Reality TV star (from MTV's Wildboyz & Jackass) Lawrence Taylor - Hall Of Fame football player Chuck Wicks - Country singer Steve Wozniak - co-founder of Apple eliminated Should be an interesting season. The article this list comes from ( tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=351670>1=28130 ) indicates that Chuck Wicks, who is the boyfriend of supposedly ex-DWTS regular, Julianne Hough, will be dancing with her this season. I guess this means she's putting off her music career for another few months. If you ask me, I think it's a little unfair to pair a couple up as dancing partners...if they really do end up being paired together. A big part of dancing is chemistry and moving together in sync. It's possible a couple who is dating might have a slight advantage. Never mind the "Awww! Aren't they cute together?!" factor in getting people to vote for them. I guess we'll see how things pan out.

www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29582247/?GT1=43001In case no one was aware yet, both Jewel & Nancy O'Dell have had to drop out of this season's Dancing With The Stars due to injuries sustained while rehearsing & training for the show. They will be replaced by Playboy Playmate & and one of the stars of the reality show, Girls Next Door, Holly Madison, and Melissa Rycroft, who was the winner of this season's The Bachelor - and then was promptly dumped on national TV during the "reunion show" by Jason Mesnick, the man who picked her. Despite no longer being in the competition, Jewel & O'Dell (both of whom have expressed interest in competing during a future season) are both expected to appear on the season premiere on Monday at 8pm Eastern Time.

So they replaced 2 actual stars with wannabe stars. I can imagine it's difficult for a lot of other "stars" to free up their schedule for the next couple of months to learn to ballroom dance. And if you ask me, the addition of Melissa was absolute brilliance on ABC's part. She was one of the most talked about people of the last couple weeks, and with a huge sympathy factor. Rumours of her casting likely drew a couple people who wouldn't normally watch the show, and based on estimated votes following the show, women are still drawn to her.

Don't really pay too much attention to this show, though I've been hearing the most about "Lil' Kim." ;D

This is shaping to be a Gilles/Shawn finale.
Steve-O will probably be next to go.

David Allen Grier was eliminated tonight. Lawrence Taylor was bottom 2 despite having 4 less points from the judges.
