After much hype and speculation, the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ cast was announced on ‘Good Morning America’ Tuesday morning. While there are a lot of familiar names, the list may surprise you with its lack of any truly shocking choices.

There has been a lot of buzz about which “B” or “C List” celebrities might be on the next season of ABC’s runaway hit. Speculation ranged from Paul Reubens to Tim Tebow. And now, the rumors can be put to rest, as the stars have been announced.

The show has put together the usual mix of TV personalities, recording artists and sports celebrities, with a few unexpected names thrown in. These are the celebrities who make up the cast of season 14 of ‘DWTS.’
