ABC chose the season finale of Dance Wars: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, Monday night, as the time to reveal the celebrity line-up for the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars.The new DWTS season kicks off on March 17.
Here's whose fancy footwork you'll be seeing.
Marlee Matlin, 42, an Academy Award winning, almost completely deaf, actress who also appeared in an episode of Seinfeld. Matlin will dance with Fabian Sanchez, age unknown. I recognize Sanchez appears better suited for a cubicle than the dance floor in his picture, but it's the best I could find.
Penn Jillette, 52, the gross and gigantic half of the magical duo Penn and Teller. The guy is 6 feet 6 inches tall! Jillette will dance with Kym Johnson, 30ish.
Marissa Jaret Winokur, 35, won a Tony for her role in the Broadway version of Hairspray. Winokur will be dancing with Tony Dovolani, 34.

Adam Corolla, 43, radio personality best known for Loveline and The Man Show. I've read that Corolla's partner is DWTS's two-time champion Julianne Hough, 19. It's confirmed, Corolla will be dancing with Hough.
Kristi Yamaguchi, 36, Olympic gold medalist figure skater. Yamaguchi will dance with Mark Ballas, 21.
Mario Dewar Barrett aka Mario, 21, R&B and pop singer. Mario will be dancing with Karina Smirnoff, 29ish. 
Monica Seles, 34, formerly the world's number one professional tennis player. Seles will be dancing with Jonathan Roberts, 33.

Priscilla Presley, 62, actress, Elvis' former wife and mother of Lisa Marie Presley. Presley will dance with Louis Van Amstel, 35.I guess Brooke Hogan botched her audition? I totally wanted to make fun of her :(
