Partners Announced For Season 12 Of DWTS

Last week I blogged about the announcement of season 12's "Dancing with the Stars" celebrity line-up. This past weekend it was announced who each celebrity will be paired with. Each star is coupled with a professional dancer, but only time will tell if they bring out the best in the celebrity, or whether they will fall, possibly literally.

The confirmed celebrity/dancer match-up's are as follows:

Model Petra Nemcova & Dmitry Chaplin- Chaplin was first discovered by America when he was on "So You Think You Can Dance." He was also on seasons eight and nine of DWTS.
Actress Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy- Chmerkovskiy is a dance champion, choreographer and instructor, and was on season two of DWTS.
Playboy model and TV personality Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel- Van Amstel is a 12-time dance champion and Emmy-nominated choreographer. He has been on DWTS five times prior to season 12.
Radio DJ "Psycho" Mike Catherwood & Lacey Schwimmer- Schwimmer appeared on season three of SYTYCD and came in fourth place. She has been on DWTS before, and third place was the closest she got to a win.
Actor Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff- Smirnoff has appeared on DWTS every season since the third, and made her Broadway debut in 2009 with the show Burn the Floor.
Ex-boxer Sugar Ray Leonard & Anna Trebunskaya- Trebunskaya has been on DWTS several times before and finished in second place in season 10.
Former pro-wrestler Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke- Burke has been a regular on DWTS for many seasons, and is the only one to appear in the finals four times, two of which ended in wins.
Actress Chelsea Kane Staub & Mark Ballas- Ballas has appeared on DWTS seven times before, and is the only male pro-dancer to win the championship twice.
Pittsburgh Steeler's wide receiver Hines Ward & Kym Johnson- Johnson returns to DWTS for the fifth time this season, and holds the winning crown for season two under her belt, or rather her, um, dress?
Actor, rapper and basketball player Romeo Miller & Chelsie Hightower- Hightower made her big television debut on a prior season of SYTYCD, and quickly became a favorite. She has been on DWTS a few times before, but never won. I personally love her and wish her good luck this season!
Talk show host Wendy Williams & Tony Dovolani- Dovolani has appeared on DWTS prior to season 12, and came in third twice, but never won.
