A once and future Spice Girl, a world champion, an Emmy winner and a Las Vegas legend are among the cast for ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" this fall.
Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jane Seymour and Wayne Newton will join eight other celebs on the network's top-rated reality show this fall. ABC has also expanded the show's premiere across three nights, splitting the contestants by gender in the first week.
The premiere, on Sept. 24, will feature the six women showing off their skills. The men will get their own showcase the next night, and the first couple will go home Sept. 26. Dolly Parton will perform on the first results show.
The roster of stars is somewhat different than a list that was leaked online earlier in the week. Eight of the people on that list, published by TMZ.com, are in fact part of the show, but the likes of Nia Peeples, Aaron Carter, Tori Spelling and Gisele Bundchen are not.

Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
