Come aboard...we're expecting you

Dancing With the Stars has become the Love Boat of this new TV generation. The producers are really stretching the limits of the term "Star", but it doesn't seem to matter. Each new season continues serving up a big steaming Pu Pu Platter of Pop Culture pioneers for audiences to shove in their optic pie-holes.

The new cast won't be officially announced until August 30th, but word on the Internets is that these folks have already signed or are in the process of signing on for Season 11...



David Hasselhoff is already having fittings for potential gown options.



Kirstie Alley (seen here meeting with her agent) should thank Xenu that someone is even considering her for another gig after that God-awful Big Life series she did last year.



Bristol Palin is probably joining the show just to make Levi Johnston jealous and to distract from his run (and "reality"-TV show focus) for Mayor of Wasilla.



Florence Henderson has started personally interviewing dance partners.



And Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is getting in shape for his turn on the floor by eating lots and lots of AbCakes.

I've still got my fingers crossed that, when we hear the complete list of "stars" in a couple weeks, this name is dropped in at the last minute...



Of course, he's an entirely different "situation" altogether.

An abs...olutely terrifying situation.
