Lance Bass, who has just been announced as one of the celebrity contestants in the upcoming new season of ABC‘s Dancing with the Stars, has updated his official My Space profile with the first pics of him rehearsing for the show with his “professional” dance partner Lacey Schwimmer (who joins the DWTS family this season, you may recall Lacey was a finale finalist on the third season of So You Think You Can Dance which, apparently, makes her a “professional”) … check ‘em out:

While I really wish that DWTS would’ve had the balls to pair my boy Lance up with a male professional dancer (mebbe that cute Travis guy from SYTYCD) but I totally get that middle America (ie. target audience) ain’t really ready for something like that. I’m not a big DWTS fan but I will deffo be rooting for Lance … tho, I think I may have to split my lurve between Lance and another of this upcoming season’s celeb contestants. After the jump, find out who else I’ll be cheering on this season …
It’s Cloris Leachman, bitches:

Y’all betta recognize. Any DWTS fans out there? What do you y’all think about this new cast made up of former ‘N Sync member Lance Bass; Grammy-winning singer and actress Toni Braxton; model, actress and former Rock Star host Brooke Burke; celebrity chef, former The Restaurant star and upcoming Rocco Gets Real star Rocco DiSpirito; two-time Olympic gold medalist track star Maurice Greene; Keeping up with the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian; award-winning actress and former Facts of Life star Cloris Leachman; teenage Hannah Montana actor Cody Linley; legendary All My Children actress Susan Lucci; two-time Olympic gold medalist beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor; former Happy Days and Married … with Children actor Ted McGinley; comedian and actor Jeffrey Ross; and recently retired NFL player Warren Sapp — Who are y’all rootin’ for?





























what about the fact that lacey is super mormon? as in- at least a little anti-gay.
Um aren’t most ballroom male dancers gay? All the talk of Lance being paired with a male dancer is just stupid. It is a dancing show not a dating show (for the most part anyway LOL)
Thank you Nicole for posting her titles, I was about to do that myself. She is a professional, not a “professional”. She’s amazingly talented and was winning competitions well before she made it onto SYTYCD.
in response to mary…so what if lacey is “super mormon”. I highly doubt she is “anti gay” in any way. i think in her line of work…she comes across many, many, many gay men and seems to be very good friends with them. also with hok being her exboyfriend and being british and japanese…she seems to be a well adjusted, tolerant, and not prejudiced in any way
why does the gay agenda have to make it into everything? ballroom dancing like someone else said, isn’t about who you’re attracted to. it’s dance between man and woman. “middle america” as you put it so stupidly trent, doesn’t care because it’s for entertainment…not time to push an agenda. get over it.
Hey gorgeous Trent,
Lance is fine, but my heart is with Cloris. She was BRILLLIANT in Last Picture Show ,the best movie ever. I LOVE that she’s doing this. So smart and funny. As are you, my dear! Love to you and D.
Team Jefferson D’Arcy!
Well, I might have to actually watch this dang show this season. It may prove to be entertaining. Lance LOOKS great in those pictures and as we know from Joey Fatone (not to mention Timberlake)…N’Sync raised it’s boys right. And Cloris Leachman! kickass! Team Cloris!
uhm EXCUSE ME lacey IS a professional you may actually want to check someone’s credentials before you go saying who is a professional and who isn’t.
Lacey is a world champion swing AND latin dancer.
I LOVE LACEY!!!!!!!! I have never watched DWTS but maybe I will have to start. show my girl some support
he’s turning into such a queen! One side of the extreme to the other – excess is never good!
