- Reality star Bethenny Frankel (The Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny Getting Married?)
- Actress Sean Young (No Way Out, Wall Street)
- Actress Rebecca Budig (All My Children)
- Musician Vince Neil (lead singer of Mötley Crüe)
- Olympic skier Jonny Moseley
- Actor/rapper Brandon Mychal Smith (Sonny with a Chance)
ABC is expected to announce their professional skating partners within the next week (and an insider said they won’t necessarily be household names so don’t hold out for, say, a Brian Boitano or a Kristi Yamaguchi). Skating with the Stars will debut Nov. 22.

ABC to air ‘Skating With the Stars.’ Whose double Salchow are you dying to see?
Z-listers, the lot of them.
You know it’s bad when Sean Young is the big get.
Exactly. And yet… if she brings her typical crazy, we might just all watch.
Has beens are bad enough, but never have beens are unacceptable.
I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on Ice.
Yeah pretty sad.
Two things: (1) They are not the first…this is the second outing of SWTS. (2) Who are the skaters involved? They’re the real reason to tune in.
Not quite. Skating With Celebrities was a different show. Same premise, though.
I think Skating with Celebrities was on fox.
2 are obvious, Kristi Yamaguchi and Evan Lysacek!
LOL Brandon Mychal Smith from Sonny With a Chance. That’s like my guilty pleasure show. This will be…. interesting….
this is just sad and scary.
Wow, this is way more pathetic than any set of contestants they’ve ever had on Dancing With the Stars.
Lol really. Who are these people, anyway? All I know is that Housewives woman because People Magazine is obsessed with her for whatever reason.
Bethenny would run over her own mother in the parking lot if that meant she would get another 15 mins or a magazine cover. A more bitter, vindictive woman has never graced a tv screen. I will not watch anything she is ever in- ever.
This is so sad.
Haha, I know, right? At least I’ve heard of most of the people on DWTS.
Is anyone else really scared for these contestants? Lol when I first heard this was happening, all I could think of was a blade to the face ruining someone’s career.
Don’t be silly. These people don’t have careers.
WIN.
Hey-o!
Oh, snap!
the chance of someone getting a blade to the face is the ONLY thing that would get me to watch this pile of poo.
Haha agreed!
Amanda, one thing we can count on with Sean Young is that someone is definitely getting a skate to the face-wouldn’t it be awesome if she cut Vince Neil???????
Flying Lotas anybody????
Why is this show even happening?
Because reality shows don’t cost one tenth of what it costs to produce a show like Castle or Criminal minds. But the sponsors pay the same for prime time ads regardless.
Unless they have A-list professionals, who’s going to want to watch these so-called stars? They had much better contestants on the original show.
People are too dumb to not watch. This will be a ratings giant. Just wait and see. Pathetic? Yes. But that’s the way this country operates these days.
Who are the skaters?
I keep trying to list a few of the skaters, but this sight won’t let me argggg
More trash.
And I thought the DWTS contestants were obscure. Looks as though this show will tank.
So… where are the ‘stars’?
This is the show that replaced Areested Development!
See in Canada they have Battle of the Blades, in which a hockey player is paired with an ice skater – which makes for an ok premise
Toepick!
