People.com reported that actress Kirstie Alley, reality star Kendra Wilkson and talk show host Wendy Williams will square off against former boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard, actor Ralph Macchio and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward.

Model Petra Nemcova, actress Chelsea Kane, radio personality Mike Catherwood, singer and actor Romeo, and WWE star Chris Jericho make up the eleven stars competing.

The celebrities, who some have yet been partnered up with professional dancers, have just three weeks to prepare for the March 21 season premiere on ABC.

Kane, 22, who's best known for her role as Stella Malone in the Disney Channel sitcom "Jonas L.A.," said nerves are already kicking in.

"I don't know how I'm going to react to the judges when there's a camera on my face and I'm trying to smile through it," Kane said. "Hopefully, I won't ruin my makeup."
