The new cast of "Dancing With the Stars" will be announced tonight, but a partial lineup has reportedly been obtained by TMZ.
According to that list, the incoming batch of hoofers includes WWF wrestler Chris Jericho, rapper Lil' Romeo, former "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson, television host Wendy Williams, Disney actress Chelsea Kane and the ever-entertaining Kirstie Alley, whose Twitter account is an internet treasure.
Speaking of Twitter, Alley's fans are thrilled.
Kirstie Alley will be on DWTS? I hope it's true.
#Castle tonight!!!!! And new cast of #DWTS. I hope the rumors are true and that my girlfriend and queen of hot mess Kirstie Alley is on!
@NatalieCoughlin I hope Kirstie Alley wins and NOT Kendra!!
The Pop Morsels blog thinks sparks will fly when Alley joins the DWTS cast: "Putting her with [reported partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy] guarantees some good fights on-camera right out of the gate."
Meanwhile, "Dancing" fansite PureDWTS believes Alley's ready for the challenge: "Kirstie was rumored to dance last season. She's been working out and has lost a lot of weight in the last year."
Indeed, last month Alley joined a Zumba class in Witchita, Kan. (her sister is a Zumba teacher there). "Any time I get a dance-y workout, I'm good," she told a local news channel.
Your move, Kendra.
