Why would any "celebrity" turn down a chance for publicity?

It takes a lot of time and energy, I can see some people not being in for that. Or they simply have other commitments.

Thanks, Prisoner. I was watching, too lazy to write the names down and found them so unmemorable couldn't remember most of them.
IMO, not a stellar group - never heard of Marissa, Cristian, Mario, Jason or Shannon.
Between this group and no Maks this season I'll probably watch AI instead.

I like the cast. Sounds like it will be an interesting season. Very diverse.

Wow!! Thanks for posting! Some good ones there! I'll be interested to see how Penn Jilette does, and Shannon Elizabeth.

Who's Mario?

When will they be telling what pros are on this year? I was hoping they might say who the celebs would be paired with tonight too.

Mario is a R&B singer. He's pretty good, sounds a bit like R Kelly.

Wow! Marlee Matlin is a DEAF actress. For those who remember her from Children of a Lesser God - she danced a bit in that film. Should be fascinating to see how she learns the dances without ever hearing the music. She's one amazing lady. I wonder if she has a Cochlear (sp) implant...

Ah, thanks, the only Mario I could think of was Mario Lopez, and he's been on there before!

I don't think Marlee Matlin has an implant. You know she's a regular on the L Word? She's excellent there as well.

Kitt, I forgot she's on the LWord as I don't watch it. Thx for the reminder. :-) I met her at a film festival, at the time her cousin was her sign language interpreter. We shared an elevator ride together after a press conference and she introduced me to him.

Anyone remember the TV series "Reasonable Doubts"? Marlee starred in that with Mark Harmon. Other than Children of a Lesser God, I think this was her only other starring role back then. Before series started, didn't know how they'd manage a deaf actress in a series. No problem. Her deafness disappears in any role she plays. I make a point to watch anything she's in. She was good in West Wing too.

Marlee dances on The L Word but not exactly the ballroom style of dancing.

I'll probably be voting for Kristi and Monica :-) if they do well.

My initial reaction is that I am kind of bored with this cast. Now I am more interested in who will be paired with which dancer.

Marlee Maitlin, definately worth watching - we had the chance to meet her - (my boys are hard of hearing, ) thru the Hearing Impaired Hockey Association, she was a guest celebrity that spent time with the kids - basically she didnt come across as really friendly in anyone's book - she was amongst deaf kids, athletes (pro hockey players - and I think she was friends with one, which is why she agreed to come btw) She did not act "better than" just hard to describe - but I will say she became a "joke' by her attitude in the visit...

I try not to let that taint my view on her talent, because we do love watching her on TV shows, as guest appearances I think she does amazing when she talks it reminds me of how sensitive deaf friends are of their own voices, they would rather sign, than to expose that "funny voice"... my son has great speech and good hearing (he really doesnt fit in either deaf or hearing) but when he heard himself on a movie/tape - he couldnt believe he sounded "deaf"... to me he does not, I think he was being sensitive, but in a way, he does have that certain something that you can tell kids that grow up with hearing loss - or deaf that learn speech...

I'm glad to see her put herself out there - and I know a lot of the deaf community will support her!!

It will be a great show - as always!!

Reader234 ITA about Matlin. I was hesitant to put it out there that she wasn't the warmest celeb I've ever met by a long stretch. But you've nailed it and I must agree. Mind you I met her years ago before she was married and had her kids. So I was hoping she'd thawed a bit, but I guess not, eh?

Shannon and Derek will be good visually. I hope she doesn't corrupt him ;).

The first episode is something like the 16th or 17th March.

Poor Kym Johnson seems to keep getting partnered with the "older with not much dance experience" type guys. Jerry Springer, Mark Cuban (I know he's not old...but no experience) and now Penn. HOpefully he has some dancing talent I"m unaware of.

Glad Louie is back!
