Lance Bass will be "Dancing With the Stars"

 

Tom Bergeron appeared on Good Morning America today to announce the final cast for Season 7 of Dancing With the Stars, joking that he had been "drinking all night" in preparation for the big announcement.

And as had previously been rumored, gay pop star Lance Bass is among the dancers for this season, making him the first openly gay man to compete. Whether the show will push the envelope further by pairing him with a male partner remains to be seen (he is currently paired up with a new female dancer, Lacey Schwimmer, but who knows what they might pull as the competition advances).

Here's the full list:

Lance Bass
Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito
Team USA beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor
Former "World's Fastest Man" Maurice Greene
Grammy-winning recording artist Toni Braxton
Kim Kardashian
Hannah Montana's Cody Linley
Oscar and Emmy winner Cloris Leachman
TV vet Ted McGinley 
Brooke Burke (Wild On, Rock Star)
Comedian Jeff Ross 
Recently retired Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp
All My Children Emmy winner Susan Lucci

There are 13 contestants, an odd number for the first time. And 7 of them are men. This season also features the oldest competitor ever (Cloris Leachman) and the youngest ever (Cody Linley). Stars premieres on ABC September 22nd.
