Dancing With the Stars Season 5 Official Cast Announced

by Lynn on August 29th, 2007

Earlier this week, I told you that TMZ.com had leaked the list of season 5 Dancing With the Stars dancers. As I suspected then, the real list was announced this morning on Good Morning America and some of the TMZ.com names were incorrect. This is from Poeple.com and tells the actual season 5 cast:

The names were revealed on Wednesday’s Good Morning America by DWTS host Tom Bergeron, show judge Carrie Ann Inaba and season-four champ Apolo Ohno.

And, they are:

• Melanie “Mel B” Brown, 32, Spice Girls (”Scary Spice”) singer (pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy)
• Sabrina Bryan, 22, actress/singer (The Cheetah Girls) (pro partner: Mark Ballas)
• Helio Castroneves, 32, racecar driver (pro partner: Julianne Hough)
• Mark Cuban, 48, businessman (owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks) (pro partner: Kym Johnson)
• Jennie Garth, 35, actress (Beverly Hills, 90210) (pro partner: Derek Hough, older brother of Julianne Hough)
• Josie Maran, 29, supermodel (pro partner Alec Mazo)
• Cameron Mathison, 38, actor (All My Children) (pro partner: Edyta Sliwinska)
• Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 30, boxer (pro partner: Karina Smirnoff)
• Wayne Newton, 65, singer (pro partner: Cheryl Burke)
• Marie Osmond, 47, singer/doll designer (pro partner: Jonathan Roberts)
• Albert Reed, 22, supermodel (pro partner: Anna Trebunskaya)
• Jane Seymour, 56, actress (pro partner: Tony Dovolani)

Although over the past few days there have been some leaks about the purported new cast – prompting Dancing’s executive producer Conrad Green to tell PEOPLE that “so many wrong names … get out, I think, ha-ha” – what remains still to be revealed to viewers when the series returns on Sept. 24 is a new format.

For the season debut, the show will air on three consecutive nights its first week, with the six female contestants performing on Monday and the six males on Tuesday. One contestant will then be sent home on Wednesday’s live results show.
