Dancing with the Stars 2009 new cast has the usual demographics on board, as athletes, B-list actors, singers, and a few wild cards make up the Season 9 lineup. The Dancing with the Stars 2009 cast is sure to get many people talking, and ensure that Dancing with the Stars Season 9 won't miss a beat.

Today's Dancing with the Stars 2009 Season 9 announcement on Good Morning America introduced the country to its newest dancing icons. Some new cast members seem obvious, some are out of the blue - and one in particular is a bit of a shock.

The Dancing with the Stars 2009new cast became big news on the political front when Tom DeLay was picked for Season 9. Tom DeLay has now gone from former House majority leader, and one of the many Bush administration officials to face scandal, to a reality star.

By joining Dancing with the Stars, DeLay has gotten one up on Rod Blagojevich, who failed to join the reality TV circuit when he was rejected for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Aside from Tom DeLay, the Dancing with the Stars new cast has its usual mix of talent and B-list star power.

Musical icons like Donny Osmond, Macy Grey, Mya, Aaron Carter and Kelly Osborne will be on Dancing with the Stars Season 9. The sports demographic is represented by Michael Irvin, Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin, and boxer Chuck Liddell. The actors in the new cast are Melissa Joan Hart, Debi Mazer, and Ashley Hamilton - whose father George was a Season 2 contestant.

The rest of the Dancing with the Stars 2009 lineup has Iron Chef America's Mark Dacascos, models Kathy Ireland and Joanna Krupa, and snowboarder Louie Vito.

For Dancing with the Stars Season 9, things will be done a little different in mid-season, according to host Tom Bergeron. Three double eliminations will be held back-to-back at that time, while dances like the Charleston, the Lambada, the Two Step and the Bolero are worked into the rotation.

The latest edition of Dancing with the Stars continues the show's unlikely place as one of reality TV's biggest non-American Idol hits. The show is always used as a platform for a return to fame for its B-list stars, and for some form of wacky behavior to take place on and off the dance

With ABC promoting the show's lights out every season, starting with the annual Good Morning America new cast announcement, Dancing with the Stars 2009 should be as big as ever.

Season 9 of the show is set to premiere on Monday, September 21 at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
