Dancing With the Stars Season 14: Cast and Early Odds

Season 14 of Dancing With the Stars  begins March 19 with a whole new cast and I'm sure more controversy.

Here's the new cast and early odds on who might be taking home the mirror ball this season.

• Gavin DeGraw and returning champ Karina Smirnoff - Not Sure what Gavin DeGraw will bring to the dance floor, but he's a singer, so he knows music.  Odds are 10-1

• Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd - Athletes do well on DWTS, and I'm expecting big things out of the Packer WR.  He's got some moves.  Odds at 6-1

• Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower - Fegan is an actor from The Disney Channel.  Parents might not know him, but kids will.  Odds are 8-1

• Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - From Little House on the Prairie to Dancing With the Stars.  Early odds at 8-1

• Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas - Jenkins is an opera singer, we'll see if she can now dance in the ballroom.  Odds are 9-1

• Maria Menounos and Derek Hough - Derek may be the best male partner, and Maria is popular.  Odds 8-1

• Martina Navratilova and Tony Dovolani - The last tennis player on DWTS was Monica Seles and she was a disaster.  Martina will work hard can't be worse than Seles.  Odds 9-1

• Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy - Shepherd is from The View.  10-1 odds

• Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya - Wagner now stars on The Bold and the Beautiful.  He might be ok.  Odds 7-1

Are Changes Afoot at Dancing With the Stars?

Will one of "Dancing With the Stars" most popular pro dancers be left off the dance floor this season?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the self proclaimed "bad boy" of dance  told the Canadian version of "Entertainment Tonight" that he may not be invited back for the upcoming season of hit ABC show, which will start next month.

"I still don't know if I'm on the show," Chmerkovskiy has said. "I didn't get the call yet."

Maks is known for getting the most out of his celebrity partners, but last season he had a battle with lead judge Len Goodman. After Goodman noted he had been involved in the dance business for 50 years, Chmerkovskiy let him have it: "Maybe it's time to go!" Asked a few minutes later, Chmerkovskiy committed a memorable: "With all due respect, this is my show."

While it isn't Chmerkovskiy's show per say, he's one of the reasons millions of people tune in to see it.  he moves the meter, and show exectutives will probably see he needs to come back.

Come On Now... "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving"

Networks not showing football on Thanksgiving are getting downright idiotic with what they decide to air against the most popular sport on television.

It used to be figure skating, gymnastics or a concert featuring some artists who last had a hit in the late 70s.

At least whoever made this decision is staying somewhat current.

I present to you "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving."

ABC is celebrating Thanksgiving this year with "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving," a 90-minute prime-time special hosted by, naturally, Lady Gaga.  90 minutes!

This holiday special which was conceived and directed by Gaga herself, promises to show an unexpected side of the well-known provocateur that her fans may have not previously seen.  You mean she is going to be wearing normal clothes?

ABC has announced that the special will feature Gaga performing a duet with 85-year-old jazz singer Tony Bennett, a tearful interview with Katie Couric and Gaga learning to make deep-fried turkey and waffles for her Thanksgiving guests with chef Art Smith.  Please...

What could possibly be next?  A Kim Kardashian Christmas?  Holidays at the Jersey Shore?  Or Joe Paterno's Rockin' New Year's Eve?

The special airs at 9:30 eastern on Thanksgiving if anyone is interested.
