The big day has finally arrived! ABC announced the celebrity contestants for Dancing with the Stars 3 this morning. There were few surprises on the list due to the many rumors circulated about the cast, all of which happened to be true.

The cast for DWTS 3:

I'll update this post later today, handicapping the contestants and revealing some of their professional partners. If you're interested in getting in DWTS shape, ABC is looking for a woman to train with a professional partner, following the same routine as the celebrity contestants. Applications must be submitted by Wednesday, August 16th.
