So, they think they can dance, do they? We'll see about that when Season 9 of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" debuts this September 21st. What do you think of this cast, readers? I, for one, hope that hunky Mark Dacascos (pictured above) is able to 'slice' his way to the top, or else it's going to to a very short season of DWTS for me!

AP reports:
