Dancing Take 6

The Stars of the sixth season of Dancing With the Stars have been revealed, and as you can see, I've already picked my favorite. I have no idea who Cristián de la Fuente is, and who knows if he can, you know, dance, but who cares? The phone number to his voting line will be placed on my speed dial just so I can make sure he sticks around as long as possible so we can all look at him some more.

As for the celebs that I do know: Children of a Lesser God Oscar winner and L Word star Marlee Matlin (whose involvement with the show was the worst-kept secret in Hollywood lately), Hairspray Tony winner Marissa Jaret Winoker, American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, Steve Guttenberg (star of many an 80's classic, such as Cocoon), and Priscilla Presley, star of Dallas and The Naked Gun movies ... and, oh yeah, she was married to some guy named Elvis.

Their professional partners will be announced on tomorrow morning's Good Morning America, but don't expect to hear the name of hottie-slash-cocky Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who has become a star of sorts himself through the show. He's taking this next season off to "pursue other projects". Dancing With the Stars will have its sixth season premiere March 17 on ABC.

UPDATE: Here's the rundown of who is dancing with who. It looks like they have high hopes for our newest crush Cristián (who, thanks to Queer Two Cents, we now know all about), as he is paired with two-time champ Cheryl Burke. And if you were thinking there might be a twist this season, here it is: a "double elimination" in the first week, meaning two stars will get the boot right off the bat.
