The much anticipated cast for "Dancing With the Stars" Season 10 was revealed and the list might surprise you.  From young to old, reality TV stars, soap opera actors and even a moonwalker – this seasons lineup is one you don’t want to miss.

The biggest surprises on this season’s list include astronaut Buzz Aldrin and reality TV’s Kate Gosselin (Jon & Kate Plus 8).  Following the breakup of Jon and Kate Gosselin, the couple has been drawn out into the public eye.  The love-hate relationship with mom Kate will definitely draw in viewers to Season 10.  Another reality show surprise is the hunk Bachelor himself – Jake Pavelka.

Another love-hate relationship that fans have with Hollywood is associated with the one and only Shannen Doherty.  Former star of “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Charmed”, this acting Diva was once named one of the most wicked women of prime time by E!.  Without a doubt, Doherty will bring some spunk to the dance floor.

The cast would not be complete without a few sports stars including sport reporters like ESPN reporter Erin Andrews.  Ms. Andrews is moving beyond the “peep hole” hotel scandal to season 10 "Dancing With the Stars".  Fully clothed, Erin Andrews’ charisma and beauty will be something to watch.  Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek and wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, Chad Ochocinco, will leave the sports arena and put their magic to the test during Season 10.

The comedic talent of Niecy Nash from “Reno 911!” might just add some interesting highlight to the competition.  The beautiful Nicole Scherzinger from Pussycat Dolls has also signed on for the season as well as Baywatch Babe Pamela Anderson.  And like seasons past, a soap star will be gracing “Dancing With the Stars” – Aiden Turner who plays Aidan Devane on the daytime soap “All My Children”. 

Full List for Season 10 Dancing With the Stars:

Pamela Anderson

Buzz Aldrin

Kate Gosselin

Aiden Turner

Evan Lysacek

Erin Andrews

Shannen Doherty

Niecy Nash

Nicole Scherzinger

Chad Ochocinco

Jake Pavelka

The youngest of the group is Olympic Gold medalist Evan Lysacek at age 24 and the oldest is astronaut Buzz Aldrin.  But don’t let this 80-year-old fool you – he’s going to show that age is only a number.  This year’s lineup may be the hottest one yet!

The season kicker will premiere on March 23rd on ABC – with this list of famous names, it is a season not to miss!
