Is this the year that Julianne Hough gets voted off before the midway point? Is this the year her brother Derek wins the coveted Disco Ball (with stand)?

The cast for the upcoming Dancing With The Stars Season 6 (which begins March 17, 2008) was announced, and I was anything but impressed. (And no, I didn't put myself through two hours of Bruno and Kari Ann pleasuring themselves - hey, Dance Wars gives them two hours to stroke something of themselves, and I'm not sure it was their egos. But I digress.)

I will say there are some interesting people. Penn Jillette doesn't look like he has any rhythm. Steve Guttenberg is actually younger than I thought he was. Hopefully Priscilla Presley (who was hot in the Naked Gun) can make a good showing. I personally can't stand Adam Carolla, so I'm hoping that he leaves sooner rather than later.
