The lineup of next season’s “Dancing with the Stars” was announced last night.

The eleven cast members are:

• Pam Anderson:  former ‘Baywatch’ babe (who won’t be moving in slow mo, as she did on the show)
• Kate Gosselin: The Jon & Kate Plus 8 mom
• Evan Lysacek: The recent Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater
• Buzz Aldrin: He was the second person to set foot on the moon, and now, at 80, he’s the oldest man to ever compete on DWTS.
• Shannen Doherty: She’s the third Beverly Hills 90210 alum to take a turn on the show.
• Nicole Scherzinger: the (HOT) Pussycat Dolls’ frontwoman?
• Niecy Nash: Style Network’s Clean House host.
• Erin Andrews: The sexy ESPN reporter who had stalker that shot video of her naked in a hotel room.
• Chad Ochocinco: The Cincinatti Bengals wide receiver…
• Aiden Turner: “All My Children” actor.
• Jake Pavelka: The latest Bachelor who just chose his new bride-to-be.

The competition begins March 22nd.

And if you were wondering why John Stamos turned it down, he tweeted:

“I’m not doing Dancing with the Stars. Flattered to be asked,” he wrote. “I’m not a dancer. I’d put my foot in my mouth faster than John Mayer.”

In my opinion, it’s because he’s going to single-handidly bring back the family-friendly ‘power ballad’ genre of music…

Charlotte, NC – Police say the wife of pro wrestler Ric Flair has been charged with assaulting him in their North Carolina home.

In a statement, Flair called the incident an unfortunate disagreement and said he did nothing wrong.

Authorities say officers were called to Flair’s home in south Charlotte on Sunday night. Flair said his wife attacked him after they went out for dinner. He had minor injuries, but refused treatment from paramedics.

Police charged 41-year-old Jacqueline Beems with simple assault. She was released from jail a few hours after her arrest.

The 60-year-old platinum blond grappler nicknamed “The Nature Boy” is currently wrestling for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after a long career with World Wrestling Entertainment.

So I spent the past few weekends cooped up in the house, thanks to Mother Nature, watching any and almost every movie I could, just to pass the time.  It’s an understatement to say that it’s amazing the magic movie makers can produce…until you see this video.

Friends, I present Laura Bell Bundy…get the fire extinguisher ready…cause this video is hot!

Triad, NC — Four Needles have been found in products in stores within four days of each other.

It started over the weekend, when a needle was found in a pack of M&M’s in a Walgreen’s in Henry County, VA. on Saturday. The same day, a syringe was found in pack of hamburger meat in a Wal-Mart in Eden. Sunday, a needle was found in a box of Q-Tips in that same Wal-Mart.

Mondy, Kyle Sumrall of Reidsville was arrested in connection to the incidents. Police say he planted the needles in the products to create a distraction so he could steal merchandise. Police said he had an accomplice during the incident in Virginia.

Tuesday, another needle showed up in a product; this time at a Food Lion in Reidsville. Sumrall was in jail at the time and police are investigating whether there is a connection.

The string of incidents has Reidsville residents talking.

“I can’t believe anybody would step that low, you know, and do that kind of stuff, just don’t make any sense, I don’t know what the world’s coming to,” said Bryant Turner.

“I think it’s sad that some people have to resort to something like that that can harm other people,” said Tammy Carpenter. “I do think there’s probably copycat incidents that have happened or will happened because of this.”

Michael Smith said, “We have a six year-old and to know that somebody is going around doing that is a real concern.”

Sumrall is in the Rockingham County Jail under $500,000 secured bond.

As we count down to Daytona, I’d like to share with you some of the greatest moments in Daytona history…

The 1993 Daytona 500 provided a photo-finish fit for a family album, provided that  family was the Jarretts.
