Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast Gets Bristol Palin and Possibly Nadya Suleman

The rumors surrounding the Dancing With The Stars Season 11 cast intensified Friday with the announcement from a representative for Sarah Palin that her 19-year-old daughter Bristol Palin was announced for the show. While any lists seen online are still unofficial until the Dancing With The Stars Season 11 cast is announced Monday night during Bachelor Pad, more and more buzz is starting to surround certain celebrities and minor celebrities alike as announcements start trickling out from their representatives.

The announcement Thursday that Bristol Palin was already signed up to do the show set in motion wild rumors from blogs, message boards and Twitter that fans had the official list, which includes contestants already confirmed for Dancing with the Stars by their people such as Kirstie Alley, David Hasselhoff and the Situation from 'Jersey Shore'. Other rumored names are singer Brandy, Landon Donovan, Audrina Patridge, Florence Henderson, Michael Bolton, Ryan O'Neal, and others who have been mentioned in the week leading up to the big announcement.

While adding Bristol Palin to Dancing with the Stars could be a major viewer and PR move, it hasn't been without controversy and anger by some longtime fans of the show. Many took to personal blogs and Twitter to vent their frustration, accusing Dancing with the Stars of using a controversial name linked to Sarah Palin for ratings. It wouldn't be the first time the show has added a controversial figure to the lineup, last season Kate Gosslin of Jon and Kate Plus 8 fame generated some of the largest view numbers in the shows history with her dramatic dancing and jabs at the paparazzi.

But having Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars could have its advantages, especially if Bristol makes it far in the competition. When family starts making appearances the entire Palin family, and Bristol's son Tripp, are sure to make an appearance.

Bristol's name isn't the only one associated with Dancing with the Stars going into the weekend though, Nadya Suleman, or Octomom, is generating big buzz also that she will be on the show. After a representative for Suleman hinted at the celebrity mother making an appearance, then backing off and almost begging the show to give her a chance, fans of the show went crazy with the idea she might be in the cast.

Jeff Czech spoke exclusively with TMZ and said Nadya and her 14 children enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars and she was born to dance and would really like to be on the show.

ABC network had hoped to keep the Dancing with the Stars Season 11 cast list a secret until the announcement Monday night, but with most representatives and celebrities eagerly throwing their names out already many fans already have a good idea of who is on the show and who isn't.
