The cast for the 12th season of ABC's hit competition series 'Dancing With the Stars' was just announced, and there are several notable personalities ready to learn some complicated dances in front of millions of television viewers.
Daytime talk show host and former syndicated radio jock Wendy Williams, actor/rapper Romeo and former world champion boxer Sugar Ray Leonard are all onboard for the new season.
They will battle Emmy Award-winning actress Kirstie Alley, E! reality star Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, the original 'Karate Kid,' Ralph Macchio, WWE champion Chris Jericho, supermodel Petra Nemcova, Pittsburg Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, L.A. radio personality 'Psycho' Mike Catherwood and Disney star Chelsea Kane.
Williams took to her talk show to share with her audience just how excited she is to compete on the show.
"So I was so excited to do today's show, last night it was revealed - finally, it was so hard to keep a secret - that I am part of season twelve of 'Dancing With The Stars'. And, listen, I won't let you down....look, I promise you that I will use all of my meat for good not evil," she joked.
Though Williams says she has known that she would be a part of the new season for over a month, Williams disclosed that the show producers would not reveal who her partner or the other contestants were. She also got a waltz dance lesson from 'Dancing With The Stars' winner John O'Hurley.
Williams, at age 46, is a New York Times best-selling author and left her noteworthy career in radio to pursue a television career as host of 'The Wendy Williams Show' full time. Williams will not put her talk show on hiatus for 'Dancing'; she will juggle filming the two both in Los Angeles and New York.
Romeo, at age 21, is following in his dad Master P's footsteps. The New Orleans rapper and No Limit Records founder competed on 'Dancing With the Stars' in its second season. Many people don't know Romeo was originally slated to compete in season two, but his famous dad stepped in and competed in his place after an injury made the Disney star incapable of participating.
The new season of 'Dancing With the Stars' will kick off on March 21.

I don't blame ya. I didn't watch last season at all. They had Todd Bridges? SMH? The last time I watched when Niec Dash & Ocho was on and that was the LAST TIME! Wendy Williams of all PEOPLE? That woman is how tall? How would that look like with her lookin down at her partner in those killer 6-inch heels she be wearin? SMH? As far as Sugar Ray, wouldn't want to see him or Romeo? Romeo, come on? He's how old? But you know what, his dad was on there if I'm not mistakin? Romeo would be the first one to go, I just can't see him doin anything out of his element?

I see Wendy Williams quite often here in NYC. She is huge. I have never been a Wendy fan, as I think she is totally shallow. When she was on radio she was evil. The way she gones on and on about white folks hair annoys the hell out of me. She's always telling some white person, "Oh that good hair". FriggN annoying

Wendy looks like this because she had implants here and there. Her breast looks like she is about POP!How tall did she look to you? I remember her too on the radio she was real FOUL & IGNORANT towards people. If you notice on her show now, she will put on a front in front of everybody. I remember when she had Brandy & Ray J on. You know she was going to go there with Ray J about Kim Kardashian. She said to Ray J, "How does it feel to have made Kim into this Million Dollar Woman"? Ray J had this look like "YOU so and so"? She still is ignorant & foul puttin on this FAKE AZZ IMAGE. Wendy will put all ya business out & have no shame! No, I never heard her talk about white people havin "Good Hair". That would annoy me too. Wendy will always be GHETTO!

@ Dime....Wendy is almost 5'11, but she wears five to six inch heels making her about 6'4. She's natually big-boned. She use to be almost 300 pounds back in the day. She was kicked off of radio in NY for more than five years because she made insinuations about people who had some power. She hates Lauryn Hill with a passion and will talk about people's children if the parents aren't married. She talked about Lauryn's four or five kids like a dog.
Her husband is her personal manager and he is extremely violent. He's threaten other radio personalities in the past because they said something about his wife. He is strictly ghetto and so is Wendy when she's with him. Their son Kevin weighed 160 pounds when he was five. I don't know what he looks like now, as he's about 11 now. She is very, very shallow.
I know she had breast implants, but she also had lipo, tummy tuck and she get botox injections ever so often.
The thing with the hair is not that she tell all white people that they have good hair, but if someone has a head full of thick straight hair she instantly falls in love with their hair. The affection for hair is evident of the hundreds of wigs that she has. She's a shallow, condensing biotch. She can't totally be herself on tv due to censorship, but girlfriend really is a shallow biotch
