ABC has named the ten celebrities participating in the next season of Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing.

They are:

Tia Carrere: Television and movie star known for her stunning beauty

Giselle Fernandez: Emmy Award-winning journalist

George Hamilton: Actor and international bon vivant

Stacy Kiebler: WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) diva

Drew Lachey: Recording artist and former member of the pop group 98 Degrees

Kenny Mayne: One of ESPN's most-recognised personalities, known for his dry wit and a former college quarterback

Tatum O'Neal: Academy Award-winning actress

Jerry Rice: Three-time Super Bowl champ and considered by many to be the greatest wide receiver to ever play in the NFL

Lisa Rinna: Actress and TV host

Romeo: Teen rap star and performer since age eleven

Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli, judges on the UK version, will fill the same roles on the US series.

ABC will air the show twice weekly from January 5, with the performances show on Thursday night and the results the following night at 8pm.

In its limited first run earlier this year, Dancing With The Stars ranked as the most popular series of the summer with a peak of more than 22 million viewers.”

Thankfully, there's even more dance to look forward to after this Series Three of SCD ends ...

I personally can't wait. This sounds like a really good line up and I'm hoping that Raphael will continue to host video clips on his website.

Okay, here's some suggestions:

Vote with your feet, um keyboards .. whatever

Ask the BBC via their comment box on the official SCD website or email strictly@bbc.co.uk asking if they will be screening the show via BBC2 or any of their Freeview digital channels. Let's hope they say "yes", bearing in mind the publicity from the SCD Christmas Special and the fact that if an American version of "The Apprentice" can be screened here, then why not "Dancing with the Stars"?

Pay homage to Raphael

Courtesy of EyesofFire50, I found my way to this great website that belongs to Raphael Pungin. He hosts video clips from the previous series of Dancing with the Stars. And I've emailed him to say that if he put up the Series Two clips of Dancing with the Stars, then I would definitely be paying a visit faster than you can say "You're my favourites".

You can visit Raphael's website. All you have to do is click this funky link.

Pay your respects to Raphael and, hopefully, he will host more clips for us!

If anyone else has any suggestions, then I've love to hear them.
