DWTS 14 new cast revealed


Donald Driver and Martina Navratilova will represent athletes who dare to dance publicly on this season’s edition of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Navratilova, the winner of 18 Grand Slam tennis singles titles and an athletic marvel still at 55, is listed as a 20-1 shot to win the competition by Bovada.LV, the offshore sportsbook.

Driver, the Green Bay Packers’ affable wide receiver, joins a long line of football-playing dancer-wannabes, like Hines Ward, Chad Ochocinco, Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, Kurt Warner, Jason Taylor and Emmitt Smith. Driver is listed as a 13-2 shot to win, but his quarterback thinks he’s a lock to make the finals.
The rest of the cast? It consists of soap star Jack Wagner, actress Melissa Gilbert, telenovela star William Levy (”the Brad Pitt of Mexico”), “The View” co-host Sherri Shepherd, opera star Katherine Jenkins, pop singer Gavin DeGraw, hip-hop producer Roshon Fegan, “Extra” co-host and New England Patriots fan Maria Menounos, actor Jaleel White, and singer Gladys Knight.



  • Gavin Degraw: Platinum-selling recording artist. Pro partner is Karina Smirnoff.

  • Donald Driver: Super Bowl champion and Green Bay Packers all-time leading receiver. Pro partner is Petra Nemcova.

  • Roshon Fegan: Disney star of Shake It Up. Pro partner is Chelsie Hightower.

  • Melissa Gilbert: Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. Pro partner is Maxim Chmerkovskiy.

  • Katherine Jenkins: Opera superstar who has sold 4 million records. Pro partner is Mark Ballas.

  • Gladys Knight: Empress of soul and 8-time Emmy winner. Pro partner is Tristan MacManus.

  • William Levy: Telenova superstar and dancer from Jennifer Lopez video. Pro partner is Cheryl Burke.

  • Maria Menounos: Teen beauty queen and TV host. Pro partner is Derek Hough.

  • Martina Navratilova: Tennis superstar and winner of 50 Grand Slam championships. Pro partner is Tony Dovolani.

  • Sherri Shepherd: Newlywed and host of The View. Pro artner is Val Chmerkovskiy.

  • Jack Wagner: Top 40 singer and actor from General Hospital and Melrose Place. Pro partner is Anna Trebunskaya.

  • Jaleel White: Best known as Steve Urkel from Family Matters. Pro partner is Kim Johnson

  • Most interesting Martina Navratilova (who wants to bet the only reason she got Tony as a partner is because he's taller then the rest).

     
    Sherri Shepherd I was wondering it they (ABC) would ever talk her into it, given how much she always talks about DWTS on The View.

    Jaleel White (there's a blast from the past), it'll be interesting to see if Urkel can dance.
