The latest list of celebs that will premiere in the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” has been released and it seems there are some fierce competitors who will bring the challenge.

Although I am not a “Dancing” junkie, I must say the line-up sounds interesting and worth some viewing time.

Just a look-see at the list for a moment:

R n’ B songbird Brandy, MTV reality heart throb and abs-extraordinaire Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, teen mom and daughter of the opinionated Alaskan politician Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin, former MTV “Hills” reality starlet and model Audrina Patridge, comedienne Margaret Cho, retired NBA star Rick Fox, legendary and reputable actress Jennifer Grey, actor David Hasselhoff, “Brady Bunch”  TV mom Florence Henderson, “That’s So Raven” co-star Kyle Massey, award winning musician Michael Bolton and retired NFL athlete Kurt Warner.

As the new tip tap dancers set up for the premiere, there is much speculation about who will win the competition. Regardless of the outcome, this season is bound to bring much anticipated attention and some air time.

Who will take it all? Who will bring the fire? It is left to the eyes and imagination!

The eleventh season of “Dancing with the Stars” is set for the air on Sept. 21.

Celebs Use Twitter? No Way, José!

In this day and age Twitter is a launching pad to self-promotions or shameless publicity for many public figures of the celeb-o-sphere. I mean, even though the Twitter tactic could be an outlet for many celebrities such as Britney Spears, Russell Simmons, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Demi Lovato, Zac Efron and well you get the picture. Alright, so it is obvious celebs use Twitter. 

Evidently it maybe shameful for some but many people get fascinations about reading micro-blog updates from celebrities Twitter accounts. For instance, if Kim Kardashian is at a photo shoot, she may tweet a Twitpic of the wardrobe changes she goes through. It is an exclusive inside look at celebrities lives that we never thought become possible to see.

Personally, celebrities who open up on Twitter gain many fans and followers. Why? It is because they are seen in a humanistic sense; a personal, vulnerable and public side is viewed upon the public.

However, if a scandal hits and celebs try to put abrupt end to rumors on Twitter it could only help or hurt them. It is best for celebs to use Twitter to illustrate their lives for positive, thought-provoking or progressive matters. For instance, when celebs a few such as Kim, Khloé and Kim Kardashian, Josh Strickland and Kimora Lee Simmons—along with a plethora of others—posed for the NO H8 Champaign, it went to their advantages. That specific cause was a positive turn upon their careers.
