Jake Pavelka and Evan Lysacek among those competing for title on “Dancing With the Stars”

http://media.citytv.topscms.com/images/d9/fa/d65f23784a2bab2d15bb1d9d92d1.pngFor some reason, I ended up watching part of the finale of The Bachelor last night. Well, I guess the reason was Jake Pavelka who rivals Andy Baldwin as my favorite bachelor ever.

Sorry, I don’t think he and Vienna Girardi are happily ever as this show has an awful track record when it comes to couples staying together. I also just fell in love with Tenley Molzahn, a dignified and very perceptive young woman, who Jake rejected in favor of Vienna.

Anyway, it’s been announced that Jake is going to be one of the 11 celebrity contestants on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars which begins its 10th season on March 22. Jake will be partnered with Chelsie Hightower and it will be awfully nice to be able to watch him each week without having to endure the silliness of The Bachelor.

But Jake is not the only hunk participating. Actor Aiden Turner, who plays Aidan Devane on All My Children, will be paired with Edyta Sliwinska. (He’s pictured in the bathtub below).

Then there is Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek who is doing this show rather than competing in the World Championships. He will be teamed with Anna Trebunskaya.

Overall, it’s a far more interesting cast of stars than in recent times. Shannen Doherty! Kate Gosselin! Pamela Anderson! I expect some trains wrecks and meltdowns out of that trio.

The other celebs are: Reno 911 star Niecy Nash; Cincinnati Bengals player Chad Ochocinco; Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger; ESPN’s Erin Andrews; and legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

You gotta figure Evan Lysacek waltzes away with the title. It’s almost unfair to allow figure skaters to compete because they have such an edge as we saw a few seasons back with Kristi Yamaguchi blew away the competition week after week.

Still, it will be so nice to be able to watch Evan again and again and again!
