I care. I enjoy the show. I think it is entertaining.

Dancing With the Stars -- the ABC reality show where demi-celebrities gather in their twilight years of fame to “shake it” -- has released the names of this season’s contestants.
This time around, former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone and Paul McCartney’s estranged wife, Heather Mills, will go toe-to-prosthetic-toe with the usual crop of ex-athletes, early 90s sitcom stars, and pageant winners. (At some point in the last decade, Ian Ziering morphed into a blonde Anderson Cooper, by the way.)
The full list of contestants and their truncated resumes below:
Laila Ali (world champion female boxer, daughter of Muhammad Ali)
Billy Ray Cyrus (actor on Disney series Hanny Montana, singer of Achy Breaky Heart)
Clyde Drexler (former Houston Rocket)
Shandi Finnessey (Miss USA 2004)
Leeza Gibbons (former host of Entertainment Tonight and Extra)
Vincent Pastore (Sopranos actor)
Apolo Anton Ohno (Olympic gold medal speed skater)
Paulina Proizkova (former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model)
Heather Mills (UN Goodwill Ambassador, former model, lost leg in car accident)
Joey Fatone (former *NSYNC member, Broadway star)
Ian Ziering (former cast member of Beverly Hills 90210)
Let's to try not to make fun of the disabled, and instead, go for the easy target known as Billy Ray Cyrus. If you missed Mr. Cyrus back in 1992 when "Achy Breaky Heart" first unleashed itself upon our cassette players, please proceed here to witness his white-sneakered dance skills first hand. But pinky swear you’ll stay till the end of the video when his ponytail holder fails him and the rattail breaks free.
