Bristol Palin (reality TV star) paired with Mark Ballas (her season 11 partner)
Shawn Johnson (Olympic gymnast and former winner) paired with Derek Hough
–Kirstie Alley (actress) paired with Maksim Chmerkovskiy (her season 12 partner)
Emmitt Smith (NFL running back) paired with Cheryl Burke (his season three partner)
Gilles Marini (actor) paired with Peta Murgatroyd
–Drew Lachey (actor/singer) paired with Anna Trebunskay
–Pamela Anderson

Joey Fatone (actor/singer) paired with Kym Johnson (his season four partner)
Kelly Monaco (actress and former winner) paired with Val Chmerkokvski

Something tells me that those pairings of all stars, mixed with the anticipation for who will take the coveted number 13 spot (fans are still voting until August 24th for either Carson Kressley, Kyle Massy or Sabrina Bryan) will lead to one hell of a season!
