Season Five Dancers

Melanie Brown

Partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Why You Know Her: Better known as Scary Spice, she was part of the international sensation the Spice Girls. She recently made headlines as Eddie Murphy's baby's mama. Our Take: She's got a hot partner and a dancing background so this new mom should certainly spice up the show.

Season Five Dancers

Sabrina Bryan

Partner: Mark Ballas
Why You Know Her: This singer/actress is part of the Disney Channel's megahit, 'The Cheetah Girls.'
Our Take: She's been dancing as part of the popular group, and the teen audiences helped keep 'High School Musical' star Monique Coleman on the show for eight weeks in season three.

Season Five Dancers

Helio Castroneves

Partner: Julianne Hough
Why You Know Him: This Brazilian has taken home two Indianapolis 500 championship titles. He currently owns his own racing team. Our Take: He's a born competitor, but he'll have to adjust to letting his partner, last year's champ, be in the drivers seat.

Season Five Dancers

Mark Cuban

Partner: Kym Johnson
Why You Know Him: This dot-com billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner briefly starred on the ABC reality show 'The Benefactor.'
Our Take: 'The Benefactor' was axed after five episodes, hopefully this time on TV Cuban can shoot and score.

Season Five Dancers

Jennie Garth

Partner: Derek Hough
Why You Know Her: Kelly Taylor, er, Jennie got her start on the popular teen drama, 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' and also starred on the sitcom
'What I Like About You.'

Our Take: If she can get some tips from her former '90210' cohort and last season's fourth place finisher Ian Ziering, she should go far.

Season Five Dancers

Josie Maran

Partner: Alec Mazo
Why You Know Her: This model has graced the pages of Glamour and Sports Illustrated and acted in 'The Aviator' and 'Van Helsing.'
Our Take: Josie's got to prove that she's more than just a pretty face.

Season Five Dancers

Cameron Mathison

Partner: Edyta Sliwinska
Why You Know Him: This heartthrob has starred as Ryan Lavery on
'All My Children'
for more than a decade. Our Take: Soap stars do well on this show, just look at season one winner Kelly Monaco. Even if he doesn't jive with the judges, he's sure to be a fan fave.

Season Five Dancers

Floyd Mayweather

Partner: Karina Smirnoff
Why You Know Him: More easily recognized by his nickname, "Pretty Boy" Floyd, this boxer is a six-time champion. Our Take: Ruling in the ring helped Laila Ali strut to third place, but it didn't help Evander Holyfield. Pretty Boy's got to train to take on the pretty people.

Season Five Dancers

Wayne Newton

Partner: Cheryl Burke
Why You Know Him: This crooner, who had hits like 'Danke Schoen', has been dubbed Mr. Las Vegas and has done more live shows than any other performer in Vegas history. Our Take: His past proves that he's got stamina, now he's got to hold his own against a younger crowd.

Season Five Dancers

Marie Osmond

Partner: Jonathan Roberts
Why You Know Her: She was a little bit country and her brother Donny was a little bit rock and roll on 'The Donny and Marie Show.' Our Take: She's a sweetheart and has won over the QVC crowd with her collectible doll line, now she'll have to step it up to compete with the heavyweights.

Season Five Dancers

Albert Reed

Partner: Anna Trebunskaya
Why You Know Him: You've seen this former competitive surfer's face featured in ads for Abercrombie & Fitch and Reebok. Our Take: This 22-year-old is sure to be a hit with the younger 'Dancing' fans. He's easy on the eyes, now he's got to be light on his feet.

Season Five Dancers

Jane Seymour

Partner: Tony Dovolani
Why You Know Her: She's 'Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman!' She recently showed her sense of humor (and more!) in 'The Wedding Crashers.'
Our Take: This mom manages to juggle twins and a career, so adding in dance routines should be a snap.
