The Big, Lumbering Athlete His acting career never took off (we're looking at you, Kazaam), but Shaquille O'Neal is a born entertainer. It's time that The Diesel/Shaq Fu/Superman earn a new nickname: "Twinkle Toes."

The Female Athlete With the intense concentration and coordination that is required to pilot a steel missile at hundreds of miles per hour, who better to than IndyCar Series racer Danica Patrick to show us what "grace under pressure" really looks like

The Female Hottie Charisma Carpenter slays us with her beauty, but the former Buffy star is more than just a vamp. She's an avid fitness enthusiast, and counts among her skills rollerblading, horseback-riding and rock-climbing. So c'mon, DWTS, go Greek!
