"Dancing with the Stars" Season 11 Predictions

"Dancing with the Stars" has become quite the television phenomenon. The world enjoys watching the most unlikely celebrities donning glittery outfits and shimmying their way into superstardom. We love the misses as much as the hits. And Season 11 promises to have a little bit of both. Let's take a look at this installment's line-up, and see what kind of shenanigans are in store for viewers.

Bristol Palin

Outside of the obvious, we don't really know much about Briston Palin. For the most part, her personality has been completely encased in one scandal or another. But DWTS will give the young mother and famous daughter a chance to see what lurks beneath her public façade.

Kurt Warner

What would "Dancing with the Stars" be without an NFL quarterback? Football players have a pretty good reputation on the show, often blossoming before the judges' very eyes. The first QB to participate on the show, Warner is no stranger to a challenge. Whether his MVP status translates to Mirror Ball success is up for debate.

Brandy

You know, we've never really seen Brandy do too much dancing. This isn't necessarily a weird thing. Lots of Hollywood entertainers are known more for their pipes than their moves (ie. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey.) But it should be pretty interesting to see if Brandy can turn some of that urban charm into ballroom panache. She may just surprise us all.

Margaret Cho

Season 7 brought us Cloris Leachman, the show's resident comic relief. This season, we have Margaret Cho-Comedienne Extraordinaire. The "Drop Dead Diva" star is "notorious" for her outspoken (and sometimes risqué) takes on pop culture. Her days on DWTS may be numbered. But you can probably expect some pretty raucous routines.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino

We've seen Mike Sorrentino burning up many a dance floor. But on DWTS, there shall be no fist -pumping for Mr. Situation. Never you mind; the "Jersey Shore" star is sure to boost ratings by baring his famous abs in those tight little ballroom shirts. He may not have all the necessary moves. But it's likely that voters won't care...

Audrina Patridge

Adding to the ballroom fray is "The Hills" alum, Audrina Patridge. She's become a tabloid staple. But outside of her cameo movie roles and fashion spreads, the world doesn't really know too much about the reality show star. Perhaps DWTS will give Patridge a chance to showcase some hidden talents.

Rick Fox

Ahh yes, the dreamy Rick Fox. Already, he and his partner Cheryl Burke are attempting to overcome some drastic height differences. But in the past, sports stars are notorious for revealing some pretty impressive dance moves. For the former L.A. Laker, this might also be the case.

Michael Bolton

He's smooth and debonaire. He's the ultimate Soccer Mom Sex Symbol. And he's sold more than 53 million records. But all of these charming accomplishments can't make up for two left feet. Michael Bolton has a huge reputation to live up to. Will his smooth persona translate into smooth moves? The judges might not think so.

Kyle Massey

This teen Disney pop sensation is no stranger to music. He raps, he sings, he acts, and can play the guitar. But the "That's So Raven" star may have to brush up on his toe-tapping skills to keep up with his DWTS competitors.

David Hasselhoff

The "Hoff" is certainly no stranger to reality show competitions. But in this case, the charismatic (albeit, slightly troubled) star is more accustomed to sitting behind the judges' table, rather than performing in front of it. David's brand of kitsch may be a hit with the judges. But he might have to pull out all the stops in order to score enough votes to stay in the game.

Florence Henderson

Seniors have always had a secure place on the DWTS stage. Whether or not they actually stay there is another story. Nonetheless, "The Brady Bunch" mom, Florence Henderson, will certainly give it a shot.

Jennifer Grey

You might think that this Dirty Dancing actress has an edge over the other contestants. But it's been more than two decades since Grey tripped the light fantastic with the late Patrick Swayze. Nonetheless, Grey may have just what it takes to stomp out her competition. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner..."
