ABC has announced the next 11 celebrity participants for the upcoming spring edition of megahit Dancing With the Stars. Not surprisingly, there are sports legends, models, a reality star, a talk show host and actors in search of a comeback. (But missing are any other housemates from MTV’s Jersey Shore.) 

Competing this season will be actress Kirstie Allie, radio personality “Psycho” Mike Catherwood, wrestling great Chris Jericho, actress/musician Chelsea Kane, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, Ralph “The Karate Kid” Macchio, model Petra Nemcova, entertainer/philanthropist Romeo, Super Bowl great Hines Ward, E! star/Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson and talk show host Wendy Williams.
