Earlier this week the new cast for "Dancing with the Stars" was announced and it occurs to me that they seem to be stretching the boundaries on who can be called a star.
The cast includes: Aaron Carter, Ashley Hamilton (son of George), Chuck Lidell, Debi Mazar, Mya, Donny Osmond, Joanna Krupa, Kelly Osbourne, Kathy Ireland, Louie Vito, Macy Gray, Mark Dacascos, Michael Irvin, Melissa Joan Hart, Natalie Coughlin and Sen. Tom DeLay.
Out of those 16 names I'm sure the average person may recognize four, maybe five of them. That leaves at least 11 or 12 people who no one has any idea who they are.
Since the show is called "Dancing with the Stars" and is extremely popular you'd think they would be able to reel in some bigger names. Even with all the useless pop culture information clogging my brain, I had to look up a couple of names to see who they were.
The thing is, at this point the professional dancers are more famous than the so called celebrities they're partnered up with. I guess that means the "stars" in the show's title is really referring to the pros and not the contestants.
