Look who is joining the upcoming cast of Dancing with the Stars! American Idol season 5 alum, Kellie Pickler. More spoilers below: Via TMZ:

The two biggest reality shows on the planet are about to come together — TMZ has learned the identity of four of the contestants for this season of “Dancing With the Stars” … including the first ever former “American Idol” wannabe.

“DWTS” has not revealed their cast for the upcoming season yet … but sources close to the show tell TMZ that Kellie Picker — everyone’s favorite country bumpkin from season five of “Idol” — will be doing this season of “DWTS.”

In addition to Pickler, our sources say country star Wynonna Judd, “Bachelor” star Sean Lowe and 2012 Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Aly Raisman are among this year’s cast.

Not that TMZ condones gambling, but put $20 down on Raisman — three former Olympians have won the show in the past. You’re welcome.

A rep for the show tells TMZ, “We do not comment on casting rumors, but tune in to ‘GMA’ on Tuesday when we reveal the cast live!”

ETA: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver/kick return specialist, Jacoby Jones, was revealed as a cast member in a DWTS promo spot last during the Oscars Via EW

    Whatf Paula Abdul came back to guest judge and Kellie was still on the show…Deja vu!

    She’s teally very suited for Variety shows

    ITA. She would be so good as a Carol Burnett (ok aging myself LOL). But she really would. And it’s about time some kind of show like that comes back.

    Kellie is hilarious! Her appearances on Ellen are always a hoot and so entertaining. I particularly loved this appearance where she gets to meet Clint Eastwood:

    Never have watched DWTS but I will now…LOVE Kellie!!!  She always looks great but, more importantly, her heart is in the right place.  Hope she is paired with someone equally as attractive.

  • curly_yenta

    I’ve always thought Kellie’s calling is for a comedic acting role, far more than she is a singer.  Singing just isn’t her strength.  She could and probably will be very entertaining prancing around the dance floor. lol

    I love Kellie and I love DWTS so this is great news to me!

  • too-cool-for-school

    Yay! She will be fun. If Tristan MacManus is returning, I hope they are paired together.

    I love her voice, it reminds me of old school country.

    I was wondering what was going on… her tour schedule is really thin, so this explains it.

    I lost interest in DWTS some years back, but I’m definitely going to watch and vote for Kellie. She is such a doll.

    Not a fan of DWTS but will have to tune in for Kellie..I love her personality.. There is no doubt, she will bring the FUN.   I watched the Olympics women’s gymnastics and like Aly.  Wynona is cool and could be interesting.  
    Good grief I can’t believe I’ve gotten sucked into another competition show. I need to get a life     lol

    this makes me happy that kellie is going to be on dwts if this true. I love kellie’s voice too. and she is super funny. I’m A big fan of Country music so if it is kellie or Wynonna I’ll be happy. She will make everybody laugh.  and I Will vote for her.
    she will bring on the fun. I Have been a fan of DWTS ever since it started in 2002.

    I will definitely be watching for Kellie!

  • windmills

    I love this for Kellie. She’ll be all over the media promoting, and it’ll be a great way to expose not only her personality but her new music. She’s on an indie and airplay has been a struggle for her last few singles anyway but now, country radio will have a way tougher time ignoring her. She’s going to surprise people with her dancing skills too, I bet. I’m really looking forward to this. 

    It’s funny because her name’s been floated for this before but now, the timing is perfect.

    I hope Kellie does super good on DWTS. I can’t wait to see her. It should be a blast. And the best part is that Canada can vote on this show. Yea Kellie!!!!!

    Okay…they really need to change the title from “Dancing With the STARS” to “Dancing With the Has-beens and Lesser-known B-listers”. The “stars” are less and less bright with each passing season.

    I love DWTS in all its cheesy glory, Kellie will be fantastic on this. She’s got just the right personality to be really popular with voters.

    I can hardly wait!
