ABC is about to heat up the ice with
Skating with the Stars, a new reality competition similar to
Dancing with the Stars, only with figure skating instead of ballroom dancing. During tonight's live
DWTS results show the six celebrities who will lace up their ice skates were revealed, including a
Real Housewife, a rock icon and a true
Blade Runner.
The cast includes:
Bethenny Frankel,
The Real Housewives of NYC star and her own spin-off,
Bethenny Getting Married?Jonny Moseley, Olympic skiing champion
Rebecca Budig, star of
All My Children and former wife of
The Bachelor's Bob Guiney
Brandon Mychal Smith, Disney star from the comedy
Sonny with a Chance (aka skinny Kyle Massey)
Sean Young, '80s movie star of
Blade Runner (who already made a
Blade Runner reference in the preview clip)
Vince Neil, lead singer of Motley Crue
When a Bravo reality TV star is one of the most recognizable stars, you know you're in trouble. The cast certainly leaves a lot to be desired, and it will be an uphill battle. Of course you could argue the same thing for the first season of
DWTS, which also featured an unknown soap star (Kelly Monaco) and a reality star (Trista Sutter).
Much like
Dancing with the Stars,
Skating with the Stars will feature the couples performing on Monday nights with results shows on Tuesdays, where a combination of the judges' scores and America's votes will decide which pair is eliminated.
