More like dancing with the D-listers! Sorry ABC...
The season 18 cast of
Dancing With The Stars has been released, and aside from
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes, there aren't that many recognizable (or interesting) celebs signed up this season. It was reported that Bruce Jenner was supposed to join the show, but much to our disappointment he backed out at the last minute.
The cast was officially announced on
Good Morning America on Tuesday, and we already knew Erin Andrews was replacing Brooke Burke as the host, but there will be new rules this year! Dance pro Derek Hough told
GMA, "This season, America will be given the power to vote and change celebrities and professional dance pairings. This new rule will affect all couples as they will be required to switch partners at a point in the season. Never before have dance partnerships been split up during the course of competition."
So who's on the show besides Nene, who is paired with Tony Dovolani? There are two Olympic figure skaters (Meryl Davis, who is dancing with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Charlie White, who is paired with Sharna Burgess) and a handful of actors. Former
Full House star Candace Cameron Bure will be dancing with Mark Ballas,
The Wonder Years alum Danica McKellar is with Val Chmerkovskiy, Billy Dee Williams is with Emma Slater and Drew Carey is with Cheryl Burke. Former hockey player Sean Avery is with Karina Smirnoff, long-distance swim champ Diana Nyad is with Henry Byalikov and double-amputee pro snowboarder Amy Purdy is with Derek Hough. Big Time Rush singer James Maslow is teaming up with Peta Murgatroyd and last, but not least, Australian pop singer Cody Simpson is with Witney Carson.
Dancing with the Stars premieres Monday, March 17 at 8pm on ABC.

Her shocking antics show no signs of slowing!
Miley Cyrus continued to grab attention Monday during her Las Vegas concert when she selected a random female fan to make out with, and the whole thing was caught on video!
While performing her track "Adore You", the controversial singer leaned in for a smooch session with a pretty blonde in the front row, and the lip lock lasted several seconds, which led to the whole audience screaming and cheering!
The twerking queen was seen wiping her mouth after the kiss, but after Twitter users pointed it out, she was quick to defend her actions.
"I wasn't wiping off your kiss pretty girl just your dark lipstick that was all over my face. thanks for coming to the show mystery babe x," she tweeted.
She kissed a girl and she liked it!

On Monday afternoon Paris Hilton grabbed a bite to eat at Lemonade in Beverly Hills, and the heiress wore head to toe white and flashed us a smile before hopping into her $375,000 white Lexus LFA. But of course!
Paris is
featured in the latest issue of
V Magazine, and in addition to striking some sexy poses, she chats about her busy life as an entrepreneur.
"I work hard and have so much to be responsible for—my music, my brands, and 45 retail stores, to name a few of my projects," she says. "I take every project very seriously and am proud of my work."
So what about the people talking smack about her success? "There are always going to be haters in life. I don't pay attention to those people," she says. "I'm doing what I love and selling out shows all around the world, and I'm getting paid a lot of money to do it. I'm passionate and I work hard to keep bettering my music, my sets and myself. That's what really matters."

A little too much champagne, Kimmy K?!
Kim Kardashian did her best to look pulled together for lunch at Joan's On Third with her bestie Brittny Gastineau today, but it was clear the reality star was exhausted from her late night at Elton John's Oscar party!
Kanye West's fiancee caked on the makeup and donned a black pencil skirt and turtleneck for her meal, and we can't believe that no matter how tired she is, she doesn't leave the house before a visit from her glam squad!
This is just us speculating, but maybe her fatigued appearance has nothing to do with the award show celebrations and is actually the first sign she's expecting a sibling for Nori? Maybe it's wishful thinking, but crazier things have happened…

They were trying to be sneaky, but we totally caught them!
On Sunday night Heidi Klum and new flame Vito Schnabel were snapped leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar after party together -- looks like things are really heating up between this May/December couple!
Earlier this month we snapped Heidi, 40, and Vito, 27, leaving Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood, and a source inside the club told X17online exclusively that the duo were
"making out" and acting like a couple of teenagers in love. Last Monday the couple were spotted together at LAX, and on Saturday night the couple attended the Weinstein Co. pre-Oscars party at the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills. "They were seated at a table with Serena Williams and couldn’t stop kissing," a spy tells the
New York Daily News. “They were still there when the lights came on at 2 a.m., and that’s when Heidi grabbed Vito’s hand and they walked toward the exit.”
Heidi certainly moves on quickly -- just last month it was confirmed that the German model severed personal and professional ties with her bodyguard/beau Martin Kristen. Vito may be young, but the art dealer (and son of Julian Schnabel) previously dated Demi Moore and Liv Tyler, so this isn't his first time dipping into the Hollywood dating pool. Sounds like an upgrade to us!

The day after Jessica Biel strutted her stuff down the Oscar's red carpet by herself, Justin Timberlake's lady love flew solo out of LAX on her 32nd birthday. Doesn't sound like much fun to us!
Wearing chambray shirt , dark jeans and Soludos woven lace up “Sandshoes,” the birthday girl looked comfy for her flight. While dressed down for Monday's flight, the brunette beauty stunned in a nude Chanel Couture gown and Tiffany's jewelry on Sunday night.
While at the 86th annual Academy Awards, Biel explained to Ryan Seacrest that her hubby wasn't by her side because he is, "out on tour, busy working." Hmm ... we are still perplexed why we haven't seen the twosome photographed together in what feels like forever!
Biel also told E! about her not-so-fun bday pants. When asked how she'd be celebrating her big day, Biel said, "I'm jumping on a plane, of course."
We guess she wasn't lying. Let's hope JT has something special for her when she arrives home -- like actually being there!

Cara Delevigne is kicking some major street style! Fashion's 21-year-old "It" girl rocked a print ensemble which bared her toned stomach, before walking the runway at the Stella McCartney show during Paris Fashion Week.
Recently, the British model and
rumored girlfriend have been
jet setting around the world and enjoying quite the romance together. But the
Fast and Furious franchise star was nowhere to be seen at the runway show. Is there trouble in paradise? We hope not! We love this wild couple!
While Rodriguez was a no show, a bevy of other fashionable stars including Rihanna, Anna Wintour, Marianne Faithfull and Katy B all glammed up at Paris' Palais Garnier to see McCartney's designs.
"I wanted to provide pieces to wear and love and take ownership of," the designer said of the collection. "It was this idea of taking care of our woman and giving her everything she needs."
