ABC will debut the 2007 edition of "Dancing With The Stars" on Monday, March 19, from 8-10 pm Eastern time. This years lineup includes several stars from the world of sport entertainment, along with a cast member of "The Sopranos" and "Beverly Hills 90120". Here is the complete list along with their dancing partners:

Ian Zering (Beverly Hills 90210) dancing with Cheryl Burke

Laila Ali (undefeated female boxer and daughter of Muhammad Ali) dancing with Maxim Chmerkovsky

Billy Ray Cyrus (actor, singer/songwriter) dancing with Karina Smirnoff

Clyde Drexler (former NBA Superstar and member of NBA Hall of Fame) dancing with Elena Grinenko

Joey Fatone ('nSync) dancing with Kym Johnson

Shandi Finnessey (co-host of Game Show Network's Lingo) dancing with Brian Fortuna

Leeze Gibbons (former Entertainment Tonight Host) dancing with Tony Denolani

Heather Mills (former Mrs. Paul McCartney) dancing with Jonathan Rogers

Apolo Anton Ohno (Olympic Speed skater) dancing with Julianne Hough

Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos) dancing with Edyta Sliwinska

Paulina Perazkova (Supermodel and Este Lauder spokesperson) dancing with Alec Mazo

That's the eleven contestants and their partners who will be vieing for the coveted 'Mirror Ball' trophy at the end of the season. Again, we as veiwers will call in and vote off our least favorite until there is only one standing.

The twist this year is that we get to see all 11 contestants dance for two weeks before the first elmination. As said before the show will be on Monday nights with the competition and Tuesday nights with the results show.

How many of you are going to be watching this year?

Not watching. I can't stand Heather Mills.

my mom likes to watch this show a lot. i may watch every once in a while to watch joey fatone dance

sadly, i was one of those little girls that was MADLY in love with n'sync, though i was a lance bass girl all the way. too bad he's gay...he's always been kinda hot.

anyway, i might watch. sounds interesting.

here's to hoping cheryl burke doesn't get it a THIRD time

You and me both Jasmine. You and me both.

But seriously Joey would be the only reason why I would watch this year. Aside from Ian he's the only one I know that well.

UPDATE!!!........UPDATE!!!.............UPDATE!!!!!

Looks like Disney is going to be represented again on "Dancing With The Stars" 2007.

Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos) has dropped out of the cast this year because he found the dancing too strenuous on his body. He said he didn't realize just how much work was involved.

His replacement will make a lot of people happy. He is best known as the voice of Hamm the Piggy Bank in Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and more recently as Mack the truck in "Cars" - it is John Ratzenberg, and John said he is looking forward to all the hard work, and hoping to kick some weight in the process. His dancing partner will be the same that Vincent was scheduled to dance with, Edyta Sliwinski.

Maybe we can more of us to watch this show this year and help vote John forward in his quest of the "Silver Mirror Ball" that represents the "Dancing With The Stars 2007" championship.

I wont be watching this

I already knew about Ratzenberg joining Dancing with the Stars. I really think that John Ratzenberg is a great replacement it's better to join now then later. This season dancers don't really seem to intresting to me but I"ll still watch.
