As promised, the names of the new cast of “Dancing with the Stars” were revealed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” today, and they are… okay, I guess. As usual, we have some athletes, some Olympic gold medal winners, and at least one potential train wreck/inspiration (Andy Dick), though no name suggests inherent drama (and more than a few are head scratchers). We’ll just have to see if the show can find the ratings gold that has, of late, been illusive. The new season starts Mon. March 18 at 8:00 p.m. Here’s the list of 11 celebrities and their professional partners.
