The new cast of ABC's Dancing With the Stars was revealed this morning, and the early money is likely betting on the athletes:

Receiver Donald Driver and former tennis star Martina Navratilova.

Past winners have included three ice-skating Olympians and Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward.

Fan favorites, though, often tend to be on the overweight or aged side.

Forget the rumors about Vince Young, Eagles backup quarterback last season, and Jersey Shore's Jennifer "JWoww" Farley.

When the 14th season of show, which will air Monday and Tuesday evenings, starts March 19, also competing for the Mirror Ball trophy will be:

William Levy, Cuban-American actor and model.

Katherine Jenkins, classical-pop crossover singer.

Gladys Knight, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, who performed with the Pips.

Jaleel White, who played geeky Steve Urkel on Family Matters

Roshon Fegan, actor, dancer, rapper, star of Disney's Shake It Up.

Maria Menounos, Extra co-host.

Sherri Shepherd, The View's funny co-host.

Melissa Gilbert, who as a child starred in Little House on the Prairie.

Jack Wagner, singer, celebrity golfer, ex-soap star, Heather Locklear's ex.

Gavin DeGraw, singer-songwriter.

Other rumored possibilities that didn't pan out include diabetic cooking queen Paula Deen; Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee-wee Herman; talk-show veteran Regis Philbin; and Suzanne Somers, Three's Company starlet turned health advice-pitcher.
