More in-depth bios can be foundon the Dancing With The Stars website, here. This officially ends the speculation that Stevie Wonder would join the cast; which we're both happy and sad about. On the one hand, it would've been awesome for him to try; on the other hand, this is the guy who did "Superstition" and "Higher Ground", you know? It's better to remember him for maybe the greatest decade of albums in pop music history, from 1967's I Was Made To Love Her to 1976's Songs In The Key Of Life.
What isn't mentioned in the bios is that both Steve-O and LT are recovering coke fiends, or that Lil'Kim and Denise Richards enjoy showing their assets. But hey, that's to be expected. Richards has a modest goal - just not humiliating herself:
“My biggest fear is just forgetting everything right before going on
live, that’s what I’m scared of,” the actress tells PEOPLE of her new
role as contestant on the eighth season of Dancing With the Stars. “All I hope is that I don’t embarrass my girls!”
By "my girls" she means her two young daughters, not her breasts. Just so we're clear.
