Monday night, the cast for season 13 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars was revealed. The show opens on Sept. 19. Who are the contestants?
Ricki Lake is best known for her role as Tracy Turnblad in the original movie Hairspray, and for her day-time talk show (1993-2004), "Ricky Lake."
Lake recently signed a deal to host another talk show that is scheduled to begin in Sept. 2012.
When asked, during Monday night's announcement, whether or not her experience dancing on the set of Hairspray will give her an advantage over the competition, Lake said, "I assure you that I don't have an edge here."
She will surely be someone to watch.
