Ochocinco & Erin Andrews To Go Dancing

Yesterday the cast of the next season of Dancing with the Stars was announced. The 11 contestants are Buzz Aldrin, Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, Kate Gosselin, Evan Lysacek, Niecy Nash, Jake Pavelka, Nicole Scherzinger, Aiden Turner and our two personal favorites Chad Ochocinco and Erin Andrews. Everyone should know who Chad Ochocinco and Erin Andrews are but in case you have been living under a rock the past few years we will fill you in.

Chad Ochocinco is a WR for the Cincinnati Bengals, known for his outrageous TD celebrations as well as his use of social media to promote his name brand. He has nearly 15,000 tweets, his own brand of condoms (which uses the slogan "Ochocinco Condoms, catch everything your Johnson shoots"), and an iPhone app which is a must download. He even raced a horse for charity. Ochocinco has some of the best touchdown celebrations in the NFL and is constantly fined for his antics. My favorite of all of these was when he tried to bribe an official to rule the incomplete pass a completion. Maybe he will try to bribe the Dancing with the Stars judges??


We know Chad is a great dancer from all his touchdown celebrations but I am eager to see if his on-field moves translate to the big stage. Something tells me he will be the most entertaining contestant this season. Maybe he will bust out his hall of fame jacket or his sombrero. I wonder if Dancing with the Stars will incorporate a river dance night because Chad has displayed some flawless river dance routines. He tweeted yesterday that "DWTS will be the first time i will be able to dance and be creative at the same time without getting fined=must see TV". We agree that it will be must see TV!


Erin Andrews is a sideline reporter for ESPN. You may know her as the recipient of many "hottest woman sportscaster" awards or for her recent scandal when a creeper cut a hole in her hotel room wall so that he could film her in the nude. The video was leaked to the internet and instantly brought Andrews from sports community celebrity to pop culture phenomenon. Dancing with the Stars said they have been trying to get Erin for two years but her ESPN schedule was too busy. She claims her acceptance yesterday wasn't because of her recent fame stemming from the nude video but we have our doubts. Oh well, we'll use any excuse to see her more on TV, especially wearing the hot outfits they wear on that show. Andrews was a member of the Florida Gators basketball dance team during college so we know she has some moves. I think Erin and Chad have great chances to win this season. Erin brings her stunning good looks (which will win the voters over) and dance experience while Chad brings his creativity and unpredictability.
