i usually make a point to never blog about dancing with the stars. but when you see such desperation, something just needs to be said.

while the full list of dancing with the stars contestants is set to be released during ABC’s bachelor pad on august 30th, some pretty reliable tips on the cast have already started leaking. every season, i’m more and more shocked at these d-list celebs they pull out of nowhere.

and this year is no different! we’ve got confirmations on david hasselhoff, reality TV “actress” audrina patridge and singer brandy. the latest and greatest addition?

BRISTOL PALIN. seriously. politician sarah palin’s teenage daughter. you know, the one who’s been on every tabloid cover known to man touting her son and feuding relationship with famewhoring baby daddy levi johnston?

should be a fun-filled crock of desperate wannabes!
