The rumors are true: Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star/blowhard Warren Sapp , out-and-proud former boy band star Lance Bass and Paris Hilton-in-training Kim Kardashian (below) are all among the new cast of ABC's hit reality TV dance competition, Dancing with the Stars . The seventh cycle of the show kicks off at 8 p.m. Sept. 22, starting three consecutive live evenings in which two of the shows' 13 stars will be cut from the competition immediately. At stake: the chance to revitalize nascent careers and perhaps snag a regular gig in Las Vegas or host a reality show of their own. The other stars include: R&B singer Toni Braxton, hostess/model Brooke Burke, chef Rocco DiSpirito, track star Maurice Greene, 80something actress Cloris Leachman, Hannah Montana co-star Cody Linley, soap actress Susan Lucci, beack volleyball champ Misty May-Treanor, show-killing character actor Ted McGinley, and schlubby comic Jeffrey Ross. Expect Leachman to fill the role usually occupied by the physically challenged contestants, performing in ways beyond what the audience expects. Lucci is the Marie Osmond, middle-aged mom figure; Ross the Jerry Springer-style comedy relief, while Sapp and Greene will compete to emerge as the Emmitt Smith-type popular athlete transformed. Hard to believe Dan Quayle passed up a chance to join this menagerie. Check the press release by clicking below... LANCE BASS -- Lance Bass has sold over 50 million records as a membe ...
