In anticipation of the upcoming seventh season of Dancing with the Stars, I have been proposing which semi-obscure celebrities would be perfect for the show. It's a fun endeavor, and I encourage all of you to take a moment to think about it too. Leave a comment at the bottom of this article with your own proposed Dancing with the Stars fantasy cast.
So far, I've made a case for which athletes, movie stars and TV stars should learn how to ballroom dance purely for our entertainment. Today, I conclude my series on my Dancing with the Stars fantasy cast with a potpourri of random people.

In anticipation for the big reveal of the seventh season cast of Dancing with the Stars next week, I've been plotting my ideal fantasy cast. I've already discussed which athletes I'd like to see on the dance floor and which formerly famous movie stars would be entertaining learning how to cha cha and waltz. Today is all about which TV stars I would like to see shake it on the dance floor.
TV stars tend to be the more popular category of contestants on Dancing with the Stars because they've got the nostalgia factor going for them. Jennie Garth was a sentimental favorite of mine season 5 because I loved her character Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills 90210. Three choices I present for you today (mostly) fall into this nostalgic category.

Every season of Dancing with the Stars has some mix of athletes, actors and actresses, singers, entertainers and models. Yesterday, I brought you the three athletes who I would like to see in fantasy cast, and today, I will continue to fill out the cast with my choices for movie actors.
As I sat down to think of which movie stars would make the best candidates for the show, I realized that it's really hard to think of semi-famous D-listers who haven't appeared in a movie in ages. Obviously, big stars can't be bothered with something like Dancing with the Stars, so you've gotta scrape the bottom of the barrel here.

All summer long, we have been bombarded with rumors about which washed up star will return to the public consciousness, even for the briefest of moments, by donning high heels and feathery boas on Dancing with the Stars. We don't have to wait too much longer because the season 7 cast will be officially announced next Monday morning. But before that happens, I'd like to indulge my fantasy a little bit and present you with my dream cast.
Every season of Dancing with the Stars has some mix of athletes, actors and actresses, singers, entertainers and models, all re-emerging from varying degrees of semi-obscurity, and I suspect that season 7 will be no different. For my season 7 fantasy, I have come up with four different categories: athletes, movie stars, TV stars, and various and sundry.

This week, In Touch Weekly reported the identities of six celebrities who will be appearing in the upcoming seventh season of ABC's dance juggernaut Dancing with the Stars. According to an insider, these six are Grammy Award-winning soul singer Toni Braxton, celebreality princess Kim Kardashian, rodeo cowboy (and Jewel's boyfriend) Ty Murray, Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, former boy band member Lance Bass, and Florence Henderson, a.k.a. Carol Brady.
Well, at least one of these reports has been denied. The former Dolphins quarterback-turned-sports analyst, Dan Marino, has stated that despite the rumors circulating on the web, he will not be the next gridiron star to grace the ballroom stage.
