Pamela Anderson’s Dancing With The Stars Season 10 Bio reads as follows:

Pamela Anderson

Has anyone ever run across the beach in slow motion while holding one of those orange floaty things better than Pamela Anderson? Now we get to see how she does after ditching the swimsuit for some sequins and heels.

Model, actress, mother, entrepreneur, philanthropist and activist, Pamela Anderson is a sex symbol who has appeared on more magazine covers than any other star of her generation. She was even named in the Guinness Book of World Records as the Internet’s “most downloaded” star.

After being introduced to TV audiences as the “Tool Time Girl” on the hit series Home Improvement, Pam went on to star in the global phenomenon, Baywatch. Her other TV work includes the hit series V.I.P. and her recent documentary series Pam&nmash;Girl on the Loose. On the big screen, Pam starred in Barb Wire and Borat, in which she played herself and the object of Borat’s affections.

Pam’s current projects include her role as the “face” of the current campaign for the work of legendary designer Vivienne Westwood, and her partnership with her friend, designer Richie Rich, on the A*Muse brand&mndash;a line of clothing inspired by Pam and created by Richie.

Pam recently launched her own fragrance “Malibu by Pamela Anderson” (along with other beauty-related products); all now available in drug stores worldwide. She also continues her extensive charity work in many areas, among which PETA remains her first love.

Dancing with the Stars just got a whole lot sexier now that Pamela Anderson is taking to the floor. Wonder if she’ll do any of her dances in slow motion. Nah.

CAST! Who is on Dancing with the Stars 2010? It’s more like who is NOT on Dancing with the Stars 2010!

From a Playboy pinup to an astronaut, from a mother of 8 to a football star who poses in just his underwear with the ladies of the Love of Ray J, this cast should produce ABC its highest Dancing with Stars ratings ever.

“Sure, it’s nice to have your name on a plaque that sits on the surface of the moon, but we’re thinking this great American hero would love to have a shiny new disco ball trophy in his home right here on Earth. At least, that’s Buzz around the dance floor.“

That’s one of the classic lines used to describe the 2010 cast announced after last night’s Bachelor. After LALATE first broke the cast announcement early Monday evening, the reaction has been catastrophic. In fact, more people have tuned in for this cast announcement than even the predictable Vienna win on the Bachelor.

Long gone are the usual scandal politician and over the hill pop star from the cast. This year you got ratings grabbers, left and right.

Official description for Dancing with the Stars 2010 from ABC tonight are the following:

Aiden Turner Dancing With The Stars Season 10Aiden Turner

Soap fans know Aiden Turner as Pine Valley’s sexiest spy guy. Now he’s staking out the competition on Dancing with the Stars!

Aiden Turner was born on April 2, 1977 in Hertfordshire, England and was educated at St. Edmund’s College. He attended culinary school to pursue his love of cooking and for two years he worked as a chef in Hertford. While doing so, he taught himself how to mix music, thus he also began working at night as a DJ.

He then went on to follow his dream to travel all over the world, visiting Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and North America. He studied acting at the Method Studio Covent Garden in London, which helped him land commercial and television castings.

Aiden was cast for the role of Aidan Devane on ABC’s All My Children in 2002. He played that role for eight years and recently left the show to pursue other acting opportunities in film and television. Glad he penciled us in to help kick off those other endeavors!
