Dancing with the Stars is gearing up for its 16th season, and the new cast was revealed today.

Again they seem to use the term 'stars' very loosely, but the DWTS 2013 cast has some interesting people on it.

I found it especially interesting that they included Lisa Vanderpump (who, I will admit I love watching on RHOBH) but for the longest time, DWTS producers said they would never include Real Housewives stars.

Also notable is that Maksim Chmerkovskiy is not back this season. He used to spar with the judges a lot, but he claims he left to pursue acting and producing opportunities. Right.
