After the suprisingly sexy cast of contenders for Dancing With the Stars was announced earlier this week, ABC has released the photos of the new Stars all suited up in sequins!

While Pamela and Shannen look sexy and slinky in their ballroom minis, Jake and Kate look super stiff! Let's hope they loosen up before the big premiere on March 22nd.

We also caught a glimpse of Pussycat Doll Nicole Sherzinger rehearsing with partner Derek Hough in LA. Does Nicole have an unfair advantage because she was a professional dancer? Or is ballroom so out of the realm of burlesque it doesn't matter?
