Preview: Meet the New DWTS Cast

Will Josie Maran and pro Alec Mazo waltz their way to a win? Dancing With the Stars by Adam Larkey/ABC
Sure, it may sound like the beginning of a lame joke: "A boxer, a Spice Girl and a Mormon waltz into a ballroom...." But there's nothing funny about the spirit of competition in this blockbuster reality series, which opens Season 5 with 12 hot-to-foxtrot contestants. The roster includes the aforementioned
Floyd Mayweather Jr.,
Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown and crooner
Marie Osmond, respectively - as well as
Cheetah Girl
Sabrina Bryan, pro racecar driver
Helio Castroneves,
Dallas Mavericks owner
Mark Cuban,
90210 alum
Jennie Garth, actress
Josie Maran, soap stud
Cameron Mathison, legend
Wayne Newton, model
Albert Reed and
Jane Seymour (yep, the Medicine Woman is gonna shake it!). We'll meet everyone, but the first round of performances on the premiere will feature female competitors only, while the men strut their stuff in another 90-minute episode the following night.
