This morning, ABC announced this upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars celebrity cast including a NASCAR driver, fashion designer, another Olympian, and a YouTube sensation, which is a first for the dancing competition. Here's a list of the 13 celebrities paired along with their dancing professionals.

 

Jonathan Bennett: Famously known for his role in 'Mean Girls', Bennett will dance with first season pro, Allison Holker. @j_benntt, @AllisonHolker

 

Tommy Chong: Yes, that is Chong of Cheech and Chong and he'll be dancing for a mirrorball trophy this season with Peta Murgatroyd. @TommyChong, @PetaMurgatroyd

 

Randy Couture: He's a 6-time World Champion and Hall of Fame UFC fighter. Couture is the first UFC fighter to take the main stage in the ballroom and he'll be dancing with veteran pro, Karina Smirnoff. @Randy_Couture, @Karina_Smirnoff

 

Betsey Johnson: The bold, beautiful and eclectic fashion designer is strapping on her dancing shoes! Johnson will be dancing with pro, Tony Dovolani, but we're just wondering if she'll be designing all the costumes!?  @xoBetseyJohnson, @TonyDovolani

 

Lolo Jones: The Olympic hurdler turned Olympic bobsledder (is that a word?) is having a go at ballroom dancing. Lolo is partnered with new dancing pro, Keo Motsepe, but with the history Olympians have on this show, it could be a very successful season for the rookie pro. @lolojones, @KeoDancer

 

Bethany Mota: The fashion designer and beauty expert who has taken YouTube by storm over the past five years. She'll be dancing with fan-favorite pro, Derek Hough. @BethanyMota, @DerekHough

Alfonso Ribeiro: Most famously known as Carlton Banks from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." He's partnered up with Witney Carson, and we sure hope she adds Carlton's best dance move into some of the choreography. @alfonso_ribeiro, @WitneyCarson

 

Sadie Robertson: The 17-year-old charming member of the Robertson family from A&E's hit TV series, Duck Dynasty. Sadie is paired with another favorite, Mark Ballas. @sadierob, @MarkBallas
