I don't watch it much, but it looks like good choices. One of my favourite people Gladys Knight is always welcome. She's so much better than Diana Ross ;D

Katherine Jenkins is NOT an "opera singer" as usually construed. At least according to her Wikipedia entry (and corroborated by people in the know), she has NEVER appeared onstage in a complete operatic production. Andrea Bocelli has, and is rehearsing for an opera in Yurp somewhere). Youtube offers a video of her singing Bizet's "Habanera" from "Carmen" pretty well when she was fresh from school. It takes training, discipline and stage experience to be called an"opera singer" the way people usually refer to men as "baseball players" or "football players.

Stop right there - there's your winner. The NFL player usually ends up winning the competition.

I've wanted to see Jaleel White do well post-Family Matters, so I may just tune in myself. He's tried and failed at his own sitcom (UPN's Grown Ups), appeared in a few movies, and done a few guest starring roles on TV. White's an active writer who graduated from UCLA film school a few years ago, so maybe this will open a few things up for him.

He may have a leg up on his competitors in public dancing experience, though: He stood in for Cee-Lo Green in the music video for 2011's "Cry Baby":

Has she not had any claim to fame since then? :eek:

She's obviously done a lot of television since that show, but that's still her best known role.
 
By now, the "stars" of the show are the dancers themselves. People go around asking "who's Maks dancing with?" or "who's Derek dancing with?" etc.

At least this time around, the "stars" are not as "washed up" as they have been in previous years. No Kate Gosselin, for instance! ::)
 
DWTS hasn't really ever reinvigorated someone's career.

CBS (by way of 20th Century Fox and WB) has made household names of Neil Patrick Harris, Jon Cryer, Johnny Galecki and Mayim Bialik again, so anything is possible. Maybe CBS should change their comedy lineup names to "Laugh With the Child Stars of the 80s and 90s".

All these titles and claims came straight from my source. You folks try to put too much into
everything.

Well, there's always "(ex-)wife of Bruce Boxleitner" (who?) ;D

I'm still reminded of when JFK, Jr., died, he was best-known (to all the newspeople anyway ::)) for saluting his dad's casket at the tender age of three. It was as if he never did anything else for the rest of his life.
 
She was also head of the Screen Actors Guild, but most probably don't even know what that
is. Until she does something greater, she will always be Laura Engalls.........just as Bob Denver
will always be Gilligan.
