Former football star Jerry Rice, Robert Wagner, Lisa Rinna and Drew Lachey will be among the competitors on ABC's next "Dancing With the Stars."

Although the network hasn't released its roster yet, the New York Post said names are starting leak out as the Jan. 5 premiere of season two grows closer.

Former "Saturday Night Live" star Kevin Nealon says he is still deciding whether to accept an invitation to strut his stuff on national TV.

"It's like when I play 'Celebrity Poker Showdown,' " he told The Kansas City Star. "I don't want to be the first one out. I don't want to look like an idiot. Or clumsy."

"Dancing with the Stars" pairs celebrities with ballroom-dancing champions then pits the pairs against each other with viewers deciding who is eliminated and who goes on each week.
