Hold on to your disco pants: Dancing With the Stars is looking to get a little wild heading into its 13th season. The celebrity cast vying for the Disco Ball is a mix of lightning-rod personalities, reality stars and heroes.

Leading the way, outspoken basketball star Ron Artest (in the midst of legally changing his name to Metta World Peace) joins controversial TV host Nancy Grace, quirky actor David Arquette (recently separated from wife Courteney Cox) and former gabfest host Ricki Lake. The cast also will feature its first transgender contestant in Chaz Bono, who recently underwent female-to-male gender reassignment, as well as a Hills star known for stirring up trouble (Kristin Cavallari), a women's soccer star (Hope Solo), a Kardashian (Rob) and an actor and war hero (J.R. Martinez) who was disfigured serving in Iraq.
