DeGraw joins a number of B- and C-list stars for season 14 of the smash ABC program, including Gladys Knight (of Pips fame), Urkel, Donald Driver, and Martina Navratilova. Full list of participants below:
- Gavin DeGraw – singer
- Jaleel White – Urkel
- Donald Driver – receiver for the Packers
- Martina Navratilova – tennis champ
- Gladys Knight – “empress of soul” of Pips fame
- Jack Wagner – soap actor from General Hospital
- Melissa Gilbert – Little House on the Prarie
- William Levy – Telenova star
- Sherri Shepherd – co-host of The View
- Katherine Jenkins – opera star
- Roshon Fegan – Disney Channel star
- Maria Menounos – co-host of Extra
So it seems DeGraw has completely healed from the drunken encounter which left him hospitalized back in early August. The eight-gazillion-dollar question on all our minds is whether the dancing chops will trump his musical acumen?
Dancing with the Stars premieres March 19 at 8 pm, with a two-hour special.
