Good luck party at Starlite for Anna and Jerry before the finals of DWTS:

When was Jerry Rice at Starlite?

Jerry was here during the second season of Dancing with the Stars (spring of 2006). I bumped into him several times. I see that a new season will start next month (http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancing/), but they haven't announced the celebrities yet.

I got the following announcement in my email yesterday. I think the celebrity-professional pairings are to be announced on Good Morning America tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Does anyone know why is Anna competing with a new partner now rather than her husband, Jonathan Roberts?

From what I heard is because he has retired from Pro competitions and now just dances Pro/Am with his students.
