    Dancing With the Stars 2009 Lineup

    Dancing with the Stars officially announced its 2009 lineup Monday on the Good Morning America show. Athletes are again a major component of the contestant roster, with four included in this year’s competition. They join a mix of celebrities, models, musicians and the surprise pick of this season, indicted politician Tom Delay. Athletes have historically done well on the show, with five former athletes numbered among the winners.

    As in the past the show has assembled an eclectic group of contestants attempting to draw a wide range of viewers. Athletes in this version of Dancing with the Stars are swimmer and Olympic medal winner Natalie Coughlin, professional snowboarder Louie Vito, UFC lightweight champion Chuck Liddell and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin. Representing the world of modeling are recent “Superstars” participant Joanna Krupa and former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kathy Ireland. Keeping a family tradition alive, Donny Osmond follows his sister Marie into the dance arena, hopefully not repeating her live fainting performance.

    Several contestants share musical backgrounds, such as singers Macy Gray and Mya, as well as Aaron Carter and reality show veteran Kelly Osbourne. Action movie star Mark Dacascos joins three other actors in this season’s competition. Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton, “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star Melissa Joan Hart and Debbie Mazar of “Entourage” round out the acting contingent.

    While not the oldest celebrity ever engaged, Tom Delay may be the most unusual in the show’s history. Known in Washington’s political circles as “The Hammer”, Delay accepted the producers’ long shot offer to participate. He claims to enjoy dancing with his wife and has engaged a personal trainer to prepare for the event. His political skills may be as important as nimble feet, as Delay’s political machine is already sending supporters e-mails to garner votes.
