These two tweets make me wonder if Shirley Ballas is indeed taking part this season. Unless she is just staying with Mark.

Maybe she'll be dancing with Sugar Ray Leonard. I know four of the celebs taking part but that's all. Have to wait and see what the others are like. Could be confusing having Chelsea celeb and Chelsie Pro - assuming that Chelsie is taking part of course.
I always liked Chris Jericho and I think he's the first WWE wrestler to take part. Be interesting to see how he does.

Especially as Mark is Chelsie pro partner and is most likely to have Chelsea as his celeb.
So guessing the 5 male pros back are Louie, Mark, Maks , Tony and apparently Damien not confirmed though.
So if tmz is right than Damien would be with Petra and I thought Damien was shorter than Maks and Tony
So 6 females well Lacey has confirmed so guessing Lacey, Kym, Cheryl, Anna T, Chelsie and 1 other looks possibly Shirley.
Never understand why they can't announce the partners straight away
There are no politicians, no ringers and except maybe for Kirstie no one is really famous. So a level playing field this year? Whoever happens to come out and get the job done, win over the public will have a chance at winning. Of course everyone is complaining.
TMZ has learned ... Ray will be paired up with Anna Trebunskaya.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Hines Ward will dance with Kym Johnson.
As for Ralph Macchio -- he's set to tango with Karina Smirnoff.
Dr. Drew let it slip last night that Mike Catherwood is matched with Lacey.
I watched the Q&A video and while this group is not well known there is no celeb to "hate" and no ringers, just good fun with them all being a fish out of water. So I am actually looking forward to this season. It reminds of earlier seasons when you didn't really know the celeb that well and no one had a lot of dance background. Plus in the spring Len is much less grumpy and can play golf instead of rushing to catch a plane.

Wouldn't you call Sugar Ray Leonard famous? Although I suppose it's a long time since he was a world champion.
Put him in front of Len Goodman on a day when the crotchety judge has missed his nap; pair him with a lazy diva that he has to drag around the dance floor; let Carrie Ann Inaba paddle away at his backside – after a stint as the Ukrainian Bachelor, Maksim Chmerkovskiy just wants back on the parquet.
"[It was] the hardest thing that I've ever done," he tells PEOPLE of shooting the reality show. "If I knew then what I know now, I would never have signed up. I would do Dancing with the Stars for the rest of my life before I do something like this ever again."
It's not like the ballroom dancer is one to shy away from the attention of a group of beautiful women, but Chmerkovskiy admits he may not have done all of his homework.
"I had never seen it," he says of the American version of the dating show. "But I still knew what it was about. In theory you think you can do it, but when you're in it you cannot realize how difficult it is."
Looking for love while being followed by cameras is one thing, but what Chmerkovskiy, 31, wasn't prepared for was the fact that at seemingly every turn, he was breaking hearts.
"The fact that I had to choose people was something else," Chmerkovskiy said during a Rolling Stone party at Drai's at the W Hotel in Los Angeles. "People should never be lined up and chosen. We're not objects and we're not supposed to be lined up like that. It's terrible and it's like I was back in high school."
And while he can't say whether or not one lucky girl got the final rose, Chmerkovskiy points out that being the Ukrainian Bachelor had a unexpected perk that very well may have changed his life.
"There was a psychiatrist on staff who I ended up speaking to everyday, and it was very therapeutic," he says. "It wasn't that I had issues to fix, but talking to someone who was a professional everyday really helped me a lot, so that was an amazing experience."
On Monday, we had the opportunity learn everyone who is going to participate from the "Stars" side of "Dancing with the Stars," and now we know exactly who will be teaching them the dancing.
ABC has just announced the pairings for this coming season, and they include plenty of faces the show's fans should be familiar with by now:
Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Easily the most entertaining pair of the season -- if these two don't butt hits, things will be terribly wrong in the world.
Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff: Let's hope the "Karate Kid" can dance better than The Situation.
Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya: Anne does well with athletes, so this move does not come as a surprise.
WWE star Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke: Cheryl, meanwhile, is pretty versatile -- and she should bring out the entertainment factor in Jericho.
E! star Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel: Louis has been known to handle the wacky -- doing so with Kendra should not be a problem.
Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani: After making i through Kate Gosselin, it's hard not to root for Tony.
Rapper Lil Romeo and Chelsie Hightower: Finally, Chelsie has a partner she could take deep into the competition.
Disney actress Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas: Let's face it -- a relative unknown is probably best for Mark after Bristol Palin.
Hines Ward and Kym Johnson: Steeler nation should help these out for a while.
Mike Catherwood and Lacey Schwimmer: Hey, at least Lacey made it to the finale last year -- but it's going to be tough to do so again with this unknown.
Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin: Welcome back, Dimitry! The former pro is here in the place of Derek Hough, who is taking off a season to pursue other things.

According to TMZ it is Dmitry who is partnered with Petra. Damian said on twitter is not returning this year.
Sorry. That'll teach me to copy without checking first. Two of the bios were wrong.

Yes, you have a point. And Ralph Maccio is certainly known if you remember the 80s and the Karate kid.
Most of the complaining about the cast this year is because they are not famous or stars. But people complain every year no matter who is cast.
Really hope Jericho does well, hopefully performing as SRS Jericho and calling all the dancers parasites and hypocrites.
A veiled reference to Cheryl Cole?
Is this why Ashley is touting a .22 Air Rifle?
