The 12 celebrities heading to the dance floor this season, as announced tonight on ABC's "Bachelor Pad" by "Dancing with the Stars" hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke in a live press conference sponsored by the September 16 film release, "I Don't Know How She Does It," are:
DAVID ARQUETTE -- David Arquette is an actor, writer, director, producer and soon to be dancer. In 1997 Arquette was discovered at Sundance for his role in "Johns." Since that time, he has acted in dozens of feature films, including the "Scream" films, "Hamlet 2," "The Grey Zone," "Dream with the Fishes," "Never Die Alone" and "The Darwin Awards." This year he reprised his role as Deputy "Dewey" Riley in the much anticipated fourth installment of the "Scream" films. He has also joined the cast of the Disney Television interactive series, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," where he lends his voice as Scully, a lookout pirate parrot who helps Jake and his crew of kid pirates. In January 2003, Arquette formed a production company, Coquette Productions, with Courteney Cox. Through their company, he wrote and produced his directorial debut, "The Tripper," as well as "The Butler's in Love," which he executive-produced and directed. Also under the Coquette banner he produced the F/X drama "Dirt" and ABC's "Cougar Town," with Bill Lawrence, which Arquette executive produces along with Cox, who stars. Up next, he will direct the 3D psychological thriller "Glutton" for Remember Dreaming Productions, executive-producing through Coquette.
RON ARTEST -- Born in Queensbridge, New York, Ron Artest is currently a member of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and a father to four children. He was signed to a five-year contract by the L.A. Lakers as a free agent in 2009 and has been playing professional basketball in the NBA since 1999. He was selected to the 2005-06 NBA's All-Defensive Team, was voted by the media as 2003-04 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and was the only man with 271 steals in his first two seasons in the NBA-- breaking Michael Jordan's record. Artest won his first World Championship ring in June 2010 after the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in Game Seven of the 2010 NBA Finals, and received the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award - the NBA's highest citizenship and community service honor - in April 2011. In his career, he has played for the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and now the Los Angeles Lakers. He has remained an active contributor in his hometown and in the home cities of the organizations for which he has played, as well as in regions globally that require urgent humanitarian aid. In August 2007, Artest formed the non-profit Xcel University to officially organize and streamline his charitable contributions and community endeavors under one umbrella. He joined a contingent of representatives from the NBA Players Association working with Feed the Children, as well as Project Contact Africa, and became a spokesman in PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) A.B.C. (Animal Birth Control) campaign in 2007. In the fall of 2008, Artest launched The Artest Math Masters program at Felix Cook Jr. Elementary School in partnership with the Houston Independent School District, which rewarded students who maintained high grades in Mathematics during the 2008-2009 school year. In fall 2010, he decided to raffle off his 2010 NBA World Championship Ring, with the proceeds going to Xcel University. Funds raised through the ring raffle were earmarked for non-profits that provide mental health therapists and mental health services to those who wouldn't be able to otherwise afford them. Artest has visited dozens of community centers, schools and libraries in low income areas of numerous cities throughout his career, speaking to kids about the virtues of education and a life devoid of violence and drugs, and on the importance of getting a college education. He sponsors summer basketball tournaments in the Queensbridge Projects in New York City, sends kids from Queensbridge to summer camps, and pays tuition for kids from Queensbridge who show academic promise to attend private schools. In June 2011, he filed a petition to legally change his name to Metta World Peace.
CHAZ BONO -- Chaz Bono is an LGBT rights advocate, three time author, speaker and the only child of famed entertainers Sonny and Cher. His decision to come out as a Lesbian in 1995 prompted his public work in support of LGBT rights and social justice. Chaz has contributed as a writer-at-large to The Advocate and, in 1996, became the Human Rights Campaign's National Coming Out Day spokesperson. He also served as Entertainment Media Director for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), and has spoken at dozens of universities and LGBT events. An acclaimed author, he has written three books, including Transition, which was released by Dutton on May 10th. Transition is his groundbreaking and candid account of a 40-year struggle to match his gender identity with his physical body. He has most recently shared his life and experiences in the three-time Emmy nominated documentary, "Becoming Chaz." Premiering to standing ovations at this year's Sundance, "Becoming Chaz" had its world television premiere on May 10, 2011 on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Chaz continues to create visibility, raise awareness and effect change for LGBT issues. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his fiancé, Jennifer Elia.
ELISABETTA CANALIS - Known for her gorgeous figure and striking expressions, Elisabetta Canalis became an instantly recognizable figure in the world of high fashion and advertising. She has worked with some of the greatest fashion icons, including Roberto Cavalli, and has graced such magazine covers as Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ and Cosmopolitan. Born in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy, Canalis' father, Cesare and mother, Bruna enrolled Elisabetta in the elite school Liceo Azuni, where she studied throughout her high school years. After graduating, she moved to Milan to study foreign languages at the prestigious Universita Statale. It was there that she made the bold career decision to pursue acting rather than foreign languages, and her enthusiasm for her craft soon landed her a series regular role on the infamous Italian television drama, "Striscia la Notizia," for three years. The exposure and critical acclaim she received presented Canalis the opportunity to work in American & Italian film and TV. She has since appeared in the comedies "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" and "Virgin Territory." In Italy she appeared in the films "La Seconda Volta Non Si Scorda Mai," "La fidanzata di papa," "A Natale mi Sposo," as well as "Christmas in NY." Television credits include the Italian series "Carabinieri" and the sitcom "Love Bugs." Canalis has also demonstrated her impressive dramatic capabilities in America with a recurring role on TNT's smash hit, "Leverage." Her entertainment career continued to blossom after her big screen debut. Her drive for success and passion for music were united when she hosted the Italian version of "Total Request Live," as well as Italy's annual music festival, Festivalbar 2007. Recently she co-hosted the 61st edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, which is considered to be the most prestigious television event in Italy. Canalis is also known for her great philanthropic endeavors. Combining her deep love of animals and her passion for modeling, she participated in an upcoming anti-fur campaign with PETA. An avid equestrian for the past 10 years, she says that her opposition to animal cruelty began as a young girl. Her work with PETA solidifies her determination to end all forms of animal abuse and neglect. Canalis currently resides in Los Angeles, California and Milan, Italy but she loves coming back to Sardinia, the island where she was born and where part of her family lives.
KRISTIN CAVALLARI -- Born in Denver, Colorado, Kristin Cavallari moved to California with her brother and father as a high school junior when the first season of "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" began production for MTV. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in 2006 for Choice Reality Star. After completing two successful years on the hit show, Cavallari switched gears to focus on a career in acting. From 2006-2009 she starred in such films as "Van Wilder: Freshman Year," "Green Flash," "Spring Breakdown" and "Wild Cherry," alongside Rumer Willis and Rob Schneider. Next she played a guest role on "CSI: NY," and most recently on ABC's "The Middle." Other credits include "Veronica Mars," the lead role in Teddy Geiger's "For You I Will (Confidence)" music video and Gavin Degraw's video for his single, "In Love with a Girl." In May 2009, Cavallari confirmed that she would be joining the cast of MTV's reality series "The Hills." Currently serving as ambassador of children's charity One Kid One World, Cavallari joins the fight to aid underprivileged children around the globe. In 2010 she traveled to El Salvador, where she spent time rebuilding schools in local communities. Continuing her humanitarian efforts, she made her way to Kenya in early 2011 for another project for One Kid One World. Most recently Cavallari combined her passion for fashion and love for charity by teaming up with Shoe Dazzle to design a spring shoe, with proceeds benefiting the charity. Her new spring shoe, named Bardot, will be available in summer of 2011.
NANCY GRACE -- An outspoken, tireless advocate for victims' rights and one of TV's most respected legal analysts, Nancy Grace is the powerful force behind HLN's top-rated "Nancy Grace." A former prosecutor with an unparalleled record of success, Grace's life changed forever in 1979 when her fiancé, Keith Griffin, was shot and killed. She abandoned plans to become an English professor and turned to criminal justice. Her first book, Objection!, became an instant New York Times bestseller, as did her two subsequent novels, The Eleventh Victim and Death on the D-List. A television movie adaptation of The Eleventh Victim is currently in development. Grace initially came to TV from the Atlanta Fulton County District Attorney's Office, where she served for over a decade as a felony prosecutor of violent crimes.

Previously, Kressley helmed Lifetime's critically-acclaimed "How to Look Good Naked," and earned a primetime Emmy for his role on Bravo's breakout hit series, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." He hosted ABC's "True Beauty" from executive producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, the WB series "Crowned," as well as "Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star" on OWN.

RICKI LAKE -- Poised to return to daytime television with the all-new "The Ricki Lake Show" in the fall of 2012, Ricki Lake is a pop culture icon who has built a career on her candid, "straight talk" sensibility and her authentic, relatable nature. She has maintained a worldwide fan base that is a true cross-section of age and ethnicity, and her approachable appeal has charmed international movie and television audiences for more than two decades. As Tracy Turnblad, the zaftig heroine of the original John Waters' film "Hairspray," Lake made an acting debut that positioned her as an "entertainer to watch" in Hollywood. Later, with a surprise turn as a talk show host, she met with unprecedented success and earned her place as a beloved media personality across the globe. Lake has recently completed work on a memoir due on shelves in the spring 2012. In addition, she executive-produced the critically acclaimed documentary, "The Business of Being Born," which debuted at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and examines natural childbirth in the United States. That project has generated a grassroots movement and led to the publication of her first book, Your Best Birth. On November 8, 2011, Lake and her filmmaking partner, Abby Epstein, will release a four-part follow-up DVD series, "More Business of Being Born," offering invaluable information and featuring birth stories from some of Hollywood's most notable celebrities. Lake starred in John Waters' "Cry Baby," opposite Johnny Depp, and "Serial Mom," alongside Kathleen Turner. Other notable appearances include the contemporary classic "Working Girl," the acclaimed drama "Last Exit to Brooklyn," the romantic comedy "Mrs. Winterbourne," opposite Shirley MacLaine and Brendan Fraser, and "Where the Day Takes You," opposite Dermot Mulroney. She also starred in the CBS film "Babycakes" and the popular television series "China Beach" and "The King of Queens."
J.R. MARTINEZ -- J.R. Martinez is an Iraq War veteran, motivational speaker and actor on ABC's "All My Children." In April 2003, at 19 years of age, Martinez was serving as a humvee driver for the United States Army in Iraq when his left front tire hit a landmine. He suffered smoke inhalation and burns to more than 40 percent of his body. He was immediately evacuated and sent to Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio, TX, where he spent 34 months in recovery. Since his injury, Martinez has undergone 33 different surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic surgery. While in recovery, he started speaking to other burn patients within the hospital, sharing his experiences and listening to theirs. News of his story and efforts to help others quickly spread, first on a local level and then to national circuits, leading to appearances on "Oprah," "60 Minutes," CNN and more. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Martinez has traveled the country since 2004, spreading his message of resilience and optimism. Today he is a sought-after motivational speaker and has shared the stage with many notable individuals. In October 2008, he joined the cast of ABC's Emmy® Award-winning daytime drama, "All My Children," as combat veteran Brot Monroe. He continues to balance his motivational speaking engagements and charity work with his acting. He is also busy working on his memoir. Born in Shreveport, LA, Martinez moved to Hope, AZ, where he and his mother lived until he was 17. They moved to Dalton, GA, just prior to his senior year, the place he proudly calls his hometown.
CHYNNA PHILLIPS -- Wife, mother, singer/songwriter, actress, philanthropist and entrepreneur, Chynna Phillips has been surrounded by Hollywood since she first entered this world. Born to musicians John and Michelle Phillips of famed 60's group The Mamas and The Papas, Chynna began her acting career appearing in John Hughes' 1982 teen-sensation, "Some Kind of Wonderful." She followed up with roles in 1988's "Caddyshack II," 1989's "Say Anything," and played the character Roxanne Pulitzer in the 1989 TV biopic, "Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer." Next Phillips, along with childhood friends Carnie & Wendy Wilson, formed the trio Wilson Phillips. In 1990 the group released their self-titled debut album which would go on to sell ten million copies worldwide, go 5x multi-platinum, with three No. 1 singles. Billboard declared them the best selling female group of all time, breaking the record previously set by Motown's The Supremes. Wilson Phillips was nominated for five Grammy Awards, an American Music Award and won a Billboard Music Award (for "Hold On" and "Release Me," written by Phillips). Taking a break from the group, Phillips released a successful solo album entitled "Naked & Sacred," while also filming and starring in the lead role of the television remake of famed Broadway musical "Bye Bye Birdie." That same year she also married husband and fellow actor William Baldwin. She then took time off to focus on family, and had three children, while also reclaiming herself and becoming a Christian. In 2004 she reunited with Wilson Phillips and they released their 3rd album, "California," which paid homage to west coast musicians from the 1960s and 1970s. In 2009 Phillips teamed up with singer/songwriter Vaughan Penn to form the Christian pop duo Chynna & Vaughan, and put out an album entitled "One Reason." Shortly thereafter, Wilson Phillips also released their 1st Christmas album, "Wilson Phillips Christmas in Harmony." Earlier this year, it was announced that Wilson Phillips would be reuniting again for an album of original music to celebrate their 20 years together as a musical group. The group was also featured in this year's blockbuster comedy film, "Bridesmaids." Phillips works with the charity Los Angelitos Orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico, which is devoted to helping the children who are displaced by the constant violence in the city and to creating a warm and loving environment for the kids.
HOPE SOLO -- Hope Solo is widely considered the best goalkeeper in the world and has been the starter for the United States women's national team since 2005. She scored 109 goals as a high school forward before moving to goal at the University of Washington near her hometown of Richland, Washington. At the 2011 World Cup, Solo recorded two shutouts in group play, and then, in what is considered one of the greatest soccer games in history, made a save in a penalty shootout against Brazil in the quarterfinal, helping the Americans advance to the semis. The U.S. reached the final, falling to Japan in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw. Solo was awarded the Adidas Golden Glove by FIFA as the tournament's top goalkeeper. She was also the starting goalkeeper for the United States in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where the U.S. women's team won the gold medal by defeating Brazil 1-0 in extra time, in no small measure due to Solo's performance as she stopped an energetic Brazilian attack, making save after save. Solo started her Women's Professional Soccer career playing for Saint Louis Athletica, and was named Goalkeeper of the Year in 2009. Since then she has played for the Atlanta Beat and currently plays for magicJack as the starting goalkeeper, and is a two-time WPS All Star. When not playing soccer, Solo enjoys reading, basketball, beach volleyball and other outdoor activities. She loves traveling the world and gives back through community service projects.

Following the one-hour special will be the Season Premiere of "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show" (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), with musical performances by Harry Connick, Jr. and LMFAO. By evening's end, the first couple of the season will be sent home.
This week, Grammy ® and Emmy® Award winner Harry Connick, Jr. is set to perform "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" from his upcoming Broadway musical by the same title. Electro hip-hop duo LMFAO also hits the stage, performing a medley of "Sexy and I Know it" and "Party Rock Anthem." Both musical acts will be accompanied by "Dancing with the Stars" pros on the dance floor. Tuesday night's musical acts will be the first to perform on the spectacular newly redesigned set that incorporates touches of the original ballroom, but now with three tiers of amphitheatre style balconies and state of the art staircase that moves with the band on a rising platform.
Harry Connick, Jr., one of today's most successful and multi-talented artists, who has garnered acclaim in both the music and acting arenas, takes the stage. In addition to his role in "Dolphin Tale" and a 2011 Emmy win for "Harry Connick Jr. In Concert on Broadway," he returns to Broadway this fall in the revival of the musical "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever." His love of music and performing dates back to his childhood in New Orleans, where he studied piano with such luminaries as James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. He first performed publicly at age 5, appeared on his first recording at age 10 and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City. In the two decades since, he has released more than 20 albums, totaling more than 25 million in sales, and has received numerous music honors, including three Grammy Awards. He made his feature film acting debut in the World War II drama "Memphis Belle." His acting credits also include Jodie Foster's "Little Man Tate"; Jon Amiel's "Copycat"; "Independence Day," with Will Smith; "Hope Floats," opposite Sandra Bullock; "Mickey," written by John Grisham; William Friedkin's "Bug"; Richard LaGravenese's "P.S. I Love You," with Hilary Swank; and "New in Town," opposite RenŽe Zellweger. On the small screen, Connick starred in the ABC presentation of the musical "South Pacific" and played the recurring role of Grace's love interest, Dr. Leo Markus, on the hit NBC series "Will & Grace." In addition, he won Emmy Awards for the PBS Great Performances concert specials "Harry Connick, Jr: Only You," and most recently for "Harry Connick, Jr. In Concert on Broadway." In 2006, Connick made his Broadway acting debut in the Tony Award-winning revival of "The Pajama Game," earning nominations for Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics
Circle and Drama League Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical. He had earlier received a Tony nomination for Best Original Score for the 2001 musical "Thou Shalt Not." In summer 2010, he performed in concert on Broadway, in a sold-out limited engagement at the Neil Simon Theatre.
LMFAO, the Grammy-nominated electro hip-hop duo of Redfoo and Sky Blu, perform a medley that includes Billboard Magazine's 2011 song of the summer, "Party Rock Anthem!" The track held the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 100 Singles chart for 8 weeks in a row, and had the world shuffling as it topped the charts in 15 other countries. The duo's sophomore set "Sorry for Party Rocking," was released in June on Party Rock/will.i.am/Cherrytree/Interscope Records, where it debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. LMFAO first got the party started with the release of their 2009 debut album, "Party Rock," which included the singles "I'm in Miami Bitch," "Shots feat. Lil Jon" and "Yes," and was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, where the duo successfully -- and hilariously -- hosted the pre-tel awards ceremony.

ABC press release:
NEXT WEEK ON DANCING WITH THE STARS (9/26 & 27)
ELEVEN REMAINING COUPLES HIT THE BALLROOM FOR THEIR
SECOND COMPETITIVE DANCE, ON ABC'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS"
Season's First "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance is Created by
Emmy ®Award-winning Marguerite Derricks on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show"
Pop Sensation Demi Lovato and Irish Band The Script Perform
"Episode 1302 & 1302A" -- Following last week's electrifying season 13 premiere, the eleven remaining couples hit the ballroom floor for the second time, performing either the Jive or the Quickstep, on this week's "Dancing with the Stars," MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on ABC.
On TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," musical guest Demi Lovato returns to the ballroom to perform the hit single "Skyscraper" from her latest album, "Unbroken," in a number choreographed by Emmy Award winner Wade Robson. The Script also grace the stage with a stellar live performance of their platinum selling hit single, "For the First Time," off their sophomore album "Science & Faith," and will be accompanied by "DWTS" returning pros Dmitry Chaplin and Chelsie Hightower. Also featured this week is the first "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance of the season, with a number created by Emmy (r)Award-winning choreographer Marguerite Derricks, a piece inspired by the legendary Busby Berkeley. In addition, all nine male "DWTS" pros and troupe members will perform a thrilling number.
In the last few months Demi Lovato has been on fire. She's hit the studio with an all-star list of collaborators including Timbaland, Jason Derulo, Ryan Tedder and Missy Elliot; the first single off "Unbroken," "Skyscraper," debuted at #1 on iTunes chart, #2 on the Billboard's Hot Digital Singles chart, and #10 on the Billboard's Hot 100. The singer and actress started in show business as a pre-teen and rose quickly. By the time she was 15 she was a bona fide TV star cultivating a promising singing career. In the late 2000s, while maintaining a rigorous TV and film shooting schedule, Lovato released two massively successful solo albums, "Don't Forget" (2007) and "Here We Go Again" (2009); the former debuted at #2, the latter at #1. Her third solo LP, "Unbroken," released September 20, 2011, showcases a collection of tracks that reveal a young woman with enough real life experience to appreciate the value of letting loose and enjoying herself. The songs run the gamut from epic ballad to cheeky pop power anthems. With the release of "Unbroken," Lovato is focused on her immediate future and enjoying all that's available to her, now that she's back at the top of her game. The lead single, "Skyscraper," has already reestablished her as a force to be reckoned with on the charts.
Hot off the heels of a #3 debut with their recent studio album, "Science & Faith," and currently touring the U.S. on a string of sold out dates, The Script clearly have no plans to slow down. It's been a rags to riches glory ride, an emotional rollercoaster, an all action, all-star blockbuster. Three young Dubliners, Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power, took on the world with music fashioned from the emotional detritus of their own hard lives, raised up by a love of pop, rock, hip hop and soul. In two years they've notched up a handful of hit singles around the world, including "Breakeven," "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "We Cry." Their 2008 self-titled debut album, "The Script," went to #1 in the UK and Ireland, with more than 2 million in sales worldwide. They've played stadium shows with music heroes U2 and Sir Paul McCartney, and to cap it all, "Breakeven" -- which has already sold over 2 million downloads in the U.S alone -- rewrote history here in America on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart to take the #1 spot, where the song completed a record-setting 36-week rise to the summit.
By evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the eleven couples will be the second team to leave?

ABC press release:
THE REMAINING TEN COUPLES WILL ILLUSTRATE THEIR MOST MEMORABLE YEAR
WITH THEIR SONG OF CHOICE, ON THIS WEEK'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS," ON ABC
R&B Soul Sensation Mary J. Blige Performs
"Macy's Stars of Dance" Performance is a Tribute to "The Twist," Featuring
Grammy® Award Winner Estelle, on the "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show"
"Episode 1303" -- In this week's "Dancing with the Stars," themed "The Most Memorable Year of My Life," each couple will perform a Ballroom or Latin style of dance to their song of choice, live, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
On Tuesday, Multi-platinum R&B recording artist Mary J. Blige will take the stage for an unforgettable performance singing two songs, "Real Love" and "25/8." Tuesday night's "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance pays tribute the beloved and iconic dance of an entire generation, "The Twist," in celebration of its 50th year mark, featuring Grammy(r) Award winner, Estelle. Also, pro dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd reunite with the Troupe for a special performance themed to "Gone with the Wind," as a preview to next week's Movie Scores theme, on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Since her 1992 debut, "What's The 411?," Mary J. Blige has sold over 60 million albums worldwide. Among her many accolades, Blige can claim six multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards, with a staggering 28 nominations, as well as garnering four American Music Awards. Blige is the co-founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN), whose mission is to empower women from all walks of life to reach their full individual potential. On July 31, 2010, Blige sold over 60 thousand bottles of her "My Life" perfume on the Home Shopping Network. Her perfume was the first to sell over 60,000 bottles in one day on HSN, and $1 from each purchase was donated to FFAWN. This past summer she released her second perfume called "My Life Blossom." This November she is releasing her highly anticipated new album entitled "My Life II....The Journey Continues (Act 1)." She also has an original song featured in the film "The Help." On the acting front, Blige will star as a lead in "Rock of Ages," the Tony-nominated hit Broadway musical due next June, and will begin filming her role as Nina Simone in the autobiographical film this fall.
She may be a born-and-raised West London girl, but Estelle Swaray is right at home in the energy of New York, her newly adopted city. The Homeschool/Atlantic recording artist's highly anticipated new album, "All of Me," is heralded by three critically acclaimed singles, "Fall in Love (Feat. Nas)," "Break My Heart (Feat. Rick Ross)" and the recently released "Thank You." "All of Me" followed the Grammy Award-winning singer's 2008 U.S. debut, "Shine," which marked the premiere release from Grammy Award-winner John Legend's Homeschool Records label, in partnership with Atlantic Records, and was without question one of 2008's most compelling releases. Executive-produced by Legend and Atlantic Records Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman, the album proved Estelle's global breakthrough, fuelled in part by the phenomenal hit single, "American Boy (featuring Kanye West)." In addition to hitting #1 in the UK, "American Boy" topped the European Airplay Chart, along with airplay charts in the UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark and Ireland. In the U.S., "American Boy" has been certified two-time platinum by the RIAA for digital sales exceeding 2 million. And in 2009, the track earned Estelle her first-ever Grammy Award, among many other prestigious honors.
By evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the ten couples will be the third team to leave the ballroom?

MEMORABLE MOVIE SCORES INSPIRE THIS WEEK'S PERFORMANCES
ON ABC'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS"
Julianne Hough Returns to the Ballroom for a Rockin' Performance
With Her "Footloose" Co-Star, Kenny Wormald
The night Continues with Exciting Performances by Musical Guests
Blake Shelton, Raphael Saadiq and Susan Boyle
Derek and Julianne Hough Reunite for a Special Performance
"Episode 1304 & 1304A" -- In this week's "Dancing with the Stars," the remaining nine pairs will perform their dance style of choice to an array of iconic movie scores, orchestrated by the brilliant "Dancing with the Stars" band, MONDAY, OCTOBER 10 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
On Tuesday, the excitement continues as two-time former "Dancing with the Stars" champion Julianne Hough returns, performing a duet with her "Footloose "co-star Kenny Wormald to their remake of "Holding Out For A Hero." Hough and Wormald star in the upcoming movie "Footloose," a new take on the beloved 1984 classical film, directed by Craig Brewer and opening nationwide on October 14. After their duet, they will join Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year nominee Blake Shelton for an unforgettable performance of the wildly popular song, "Footloose." One of the UK's best-selling musical artists, Susan Boyle, graces the stage with a rendition of "Unchained Melody," a worldwide television network exclusive performance, accompanied by pro dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd. Also performing is Raphael Saadiq, bringing the soulful spirit of the '60s to the ballroom, singing an original version of "Soul Man." And before we say goodbye to one more couple, Julianne Hough hits dance floor with her brother and "Dancing with the Stars" three-time champion Derek Hough, performing a Jive choreographed by them to "Shake Your Tail Feather," on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Oklahoma-based entertainer Blake Shelton has proven himself to be one of country music's brightest lights, as one of the genre's most versatile and accomplished vocalists. His career has unfolded ever since his 2001 debut single, "Austin," which brought him national attention. This year he has been nominated for 5 Country Music Awards, including their most prestigious honor, Entertainer of the Year. Shelton recently announced his first headlining arena tour, "Well Lit & Amplified Tour 2012," which kicks off in January. The country superstar's single, "God Gave Me You," recently broke the Top 5 and is his fastest rising single to date. The emotionally powerful single is off his new album, "Red River Blue," which debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Top Current Albums chart and Soundscan Top Country Albums chart. Shelton's infectious multi-week No. 1 hit, "Honey Bee," is also off his new album and is his first ever digital Platinum single. Shelton holds the record for the fastest-selling digital Platinum single for a male country solo artist. The single held the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Country Chart for four weeks in a row, with over 40 million in audience. No country artist has held this record in almost six years. His star power, world-class voice and irreverent personality have brought him acclaim that has translated well from the world of country music to a wider audience.
As a contemporary artist, Raphael Saadiq continues to honor tradition that goes back to the '60s and '70s through his music. Saadiq's latest album, "The Way I See It," his third solo album and first for Sony BGM, is a masterful collection of new material that speaks to his deep love for rhythm and blues."The Way I See It" truly showcases the rich diversity of funky grooves and smooth balladry that is his calling card; it is a genuine feel good R& B album. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Saadiq began singing in a professional gospel group at the age of nine. His musical education encompassed classical music, '40s spirituals, hymns, jazz and R&B. He was the lead vocalist and bass player with the late '80s / early '90s successful group Tony! Toni! TonŽ!. After leaving the group, he recorded two singles for hit movies, "Ask of You" from "Higher Learning" and "Me &You" from "Boyz in the Hood." In 2000 he created the group Lucky Pearl, and the group's sole self-titled album received Grammy(r) Award, American Music Award and Soul Train Music Award nominations. Saadiq is an award-winning producer who has worked with such artists as Joss Stone, The Roots, Snoop Dogg and John Legend, among many others. He is an all around musical inspiration, delivering the sound of soul, influenced by the music he grew up on.
As an international artist, Susan Boyle's global record sales hit a monumental 14 million on the 14th month after her recording career started. With No. 1 albums in five continents, in over 20 countries, her albums have moved the Susan Boyle story far beyond her performance on a British Talent Show. For her devoted listeners, Boyle is constantly determined to find the emotional core of the music with modern classics, both secular and sacred, timeless love songs and twists on pop and rock curiosities. This humble woman from a sleepy and largely forgotten Scottish hamlet has become one of the premiere recording voices of her age. Her second album, "The Gift," made her the first artist in history to have her first two records debut at No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Now with the global launch of her third album, "Someone to Watch Over Me," her music continues to touch people all over the world.
By Tuesday evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the nine couples will be the next to leave the ballroom?
* DAVID ARQUETTE, actor and producer, and partner KYM JOHNSON.

* NANCY GRACE, TV host and journalist, and partner TRISTAN MACMANUS.
* ROBERT KARDASHIAN, reality star, and partner CHERYL BURKE.

ABC press release:
NEXT WEEK ON DANCING WITH THE STARS (10/17 & 18)
THIS WEEK'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS" CELEBRATES THE '80S
WITH KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCES ON ABC
Groundbreaking Iconic Pop Group The Bangles Perform on Monday's "Dancing with the Stars"
Multi-Platinum Grammy® Award Winner Kelly Clarkson and
Five-Time CMA, Three-time AMA Nominee The Band Perry Perform
And the Show's First "AT& T's Spotlight Performance"
on Tuesday's "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show"
"Episode 1305 & 1305A" - The competition gets heated as the remaining eight couples perform any style dance to favorite classic '80s hit songs. And iconic pop group The Bangles visit the ballroom with a special performance, singing some of their biggest hits, "Manic Monday" and a medley of "Eternal Flame" and "Walk Like an Egyptian," on MONDAY, OCTOBER 17 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
On Tuesday, American pop singer/songwriter Kelly Clarkson is set to perform the first single "Mr. Know It All" off her upcoming album, "Stronger," as well as her hit song "Walk Away," accompanied by pro dancers Mark Ballas, Sharna Burgess, Val Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd. Also rocking the stage is this year's five-time Country Music Award nominee The Band Perry, who will perform "If I die Young, their triple-platinum single, accompanied with pros Louis Van Amstel and Karina Smirnoff. Also for the first time we welcome an "AT&T Spotlight Performance," with this week's spotlight on Charm Ladonna, a talented young lady who will be performing a memorable piece with pros Mark Ballas and Derek Hough. And the fifth couple will be sent home on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
With their common love for rock's golden age and the crystalline sound they naturally created, The Bangles began their long and winding road together 30 years ago, and it is evident that their bond still remains with the release of their latest album, "Sweetheart of the Sun." The album is their first release of new material in nearly eight years and is filled with a fresh batch of definitive Bangles songs. Some of the 10 original songs on this 12-song album are new, while others had extremely long gestation periods, tucked away but not forgotten. The Bangles -- guitarist/singer Susanna Hoffs, guitarist/singer Vicki Peterson and drummer/singer Debbi Peterson -- are currently on tour performing a mix of their classics and new material from "Sweetheart of the Sun."
Kelly Clarkson's bold empowerment anthems, including the first single, "Mr. Know It All," from her new album "Stronger," has proven that her lyrics sell to the fullest with her soulful, powerhouse voice and down-to-earth reliability. The album "Stronger," which is set to release October 24th, includes fizzy pop melodies, bright choruses and driving dance floor-friendly beats, from producers Rodney Jerkins, Greg Kurstin, Josh Abraham and Tody Gad, only making the songs that much more appealing to her fans. Clarkson is an international pop icon, selling over 20 million albums worldwide and notching seven singles on the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart. She has released four studio albums, including 2003's double-platinum No. 1 "Thankful," 2004's six-time platinum "Breakaway," 2007's platinum selling "My December," and 2009's "All I Ever Wanted," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200. Clarkson has also received two Grammy ® Awards, two American Music Awards, two MTV Music Awards, and 11 Billboard Music Awards.
The Band Perry has won the hearts of millions of music fans with their "modern throwback" style. They have been nominated for and earned top honors for their debut album, "The Band Perry," which combines masterful lyrics and traditional Country influences mixed with classic Rock 'n Roll. They have toured extensively with icons such as Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban, and are now touring with Reba through the fall. Recently the members of The Band Perry racked up a total of five Country Music Award nominations and now have a new reason to celebrate -- their smash single, "If I Die Young," has been certified triple platinum. This milestone arrives as the family band marks the anniversary of their self-titled debut album, "The Band Perry," which was released just one year ago this week on Republic Nashville.
New this season is the "AT&T's Spotlight Performance," which features and celebrates people whose lives have been changed forever by dance. This week "Dancing with the Stars" has chosen to spotlight dancer Charm Ladonna. This talented young lady has overcome adversity and now uses her talents to give back to her community. Her natural ability to dance was recognized at a very young age. However her family was unable to afford dance lessons. With the help and support of her mother, who worked a second job to pay for lessons, Charm used dancing as a way to stay positive and focused despite a rough upbringing in one of Compton's toughest neighborhoods. Now a professional dancer, Charm gives back to her community, teaching dance to underprivileged kids at her childhood elementary school. She wants the kids in her community to know that they too can overcome adversity by believing in themselves and following their dreams.
By Tuesday evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the eight couples will be the next to leave the ballroom?
* DAVID ARQUETTE, actor and producer, and partner KYM JOHNSON.
* CHAZ BONO, author and activist, and partner LACEY SCHWIMMER.
* NANCY GRACE, TV host and journalist, and partner TRISTAN MACMANUS.
* ROBERT KARDASHIAN, reality star, and partner CHERYL BURKE.

During the ABC Premiere of "Scared Shrekless" on Monday Night
Music Sensations Justin Bieber and Boyz II Men Take to the Stage
With a Premiere Televised Performance on Tuesday Night
"AT& T Spotlight Performance" Features a Live Performance from
Singer-Songwriter Christina Perri on Tuesday Night
"Episode 1307 & 1307A" -- Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" kicks off live from the ballroom with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the remaining couples as they get ready for their big Halloween night during the special ABC premiere of "Scared Shrekless," which airs Monday,
October 31 from 7:58-8:30 p.m., ET. Inspired by the hit feature film "Shrek," viewers will join Shrek (Mike Myers) as he celebrates his favorite holiday, ogre-style. Shreck ditches the standard tricks or treats and challenges fairy-tale characters, including Donkey (Dean Edwards) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), to a scary storytelling contest. Just as the contest is set to begin, they all discover they must spend the night in Lord Farguaad's haunted castle, and the last one to be scared "Shrekless" will win.
Then, the Halloween Night event continues with an exciting Halloween-themed episode of "Dancing with the Stars," filled with thrilling performances from the remaining six couples. Each pair will light up the ballroom floor with killer costumes and an electrifying dance to some of Halloween's favorite spooky tunes. Later in the night they return to the floor when Team Tango's J.R & Karina, Nancy & Tristan and David & Kym, dancing to Rihanna's "Disturbia," battle Team Paso's Ricki & Derek, Hope & Maksim and Rob & Cheryl, dancing to Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life." The gripping 90-minute show airs MONDAY, OCTOBER 31 (8:30-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
This week on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," global pop sensation Justin Bieber and the best selling R&B group of all time, Boyz II Men, collaborate for a television premiere performance of "Fa La La," accompanied by pro dancers Mark Ballas and Chelsie Hightower. "Fa La La" is from Bieber's Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," available November 1st. Bieber will hit the stage for a second time with a knockout performance of his megahit song, "Never Say Never." Pro dancer Derek Hough joins "So You Think You Can Dance" dancer Alison Holker for an exceptional Latin infused choreographed number. Additionally, this season's second "AT&T Spotlight Performance" will truly be an emotional and unique dance performance, accompanied by hot new recording artist Christina Perri singing her smash hit, "Arms." In the end, the sixth couple eliminated must say goodbye, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET).
Global phenomenon Justin Bieber begins his third year on the world stage with the November 1st release of his first Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," produced by Kuk Harrell. The album is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards and newly penned holiday music largely co-written by Bieber. The album features guest appearances from Mariah Carey, Usher, Boyz II Men, Busta Rhymes and The Band Perry. This will be Bieber's fifth album release since he first arrived on Island Records/RBMG in November 2009 with "My World." "My World" included his worldwide debut hit,
"One Time," the follow-up "One Less Lonely Girl," and two more chart hits, "Love Me" and "Favorite Girl." With that, Bieber became the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of Billboard's Hot 100 prior to the album's release. To date, he has attained more than 11 million in worldwide CD sales. Bieber has recently been nominated for Favorite Male Artist and is set to perform at the "2011 American Music Awards®."
A truly iconic band, Boyz II Men redefined R&B and revolutionized the genre. Celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, the band has penned and performed some of the most celebrated songs and timeless classics of the past two decades. The group's 4 Grammy ® Awards are just the tip of the iceberg: throughout their 20-year career, Boyz II Men have also won a whopping 16 American Music Awards ®, 9 Soul Train Awards, 3 MTV Awards and 3 Billboard Awards. This iconic group, composed of Nate Morris, Wayna Morris and Shawn Stockman, has earned the honor of being the best selling R&B group of all time, with an astounding 60 million albums sold. Given the monumental success of their albums and the timeless quality of their vocals, it's easy to see why Boyz II Men remains an inspiration to some of the most successful stars in the industry. The band continues to tour across the country and around the globe, performing a mix of their latest tracks and treasured classics. And to celebrate their landmark 20th Anniversary, Boyz II Men has recently released a brand new album, "Twenty," which features new material for the first time in 10 years. It was released October 26th on the band's own label, MSM Music, with partners Benchmark Entertainment.
The "AT&T Spotlight Performance" features and celebrates people whose lives have been changed forever by dance. This week "Dancing with the Stars" has chosen to spotlight 16-year-old Victoria Rose Viren. At the young age of 14, the gifted young dancer was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to undergo intense treatment. The ballerina did not let this get in her way of her passion for dancing, and instead used dance to help her get through her treatment. Now fully recovered, Victoria will be dancing live on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," accompanied by recording artist Christina Perri. Perri, a very talented singer-songwriter and musician, was a struggling artist until her first break on "So You Think You Can Dance" last summer, with her performance of "Jar of Hearts." The 24-year-old Philadelphia native captivated the hearts of listeners across the country with her raw and emotional performance. She later went on to sign with Atlantic Records and released her debut album, "Lovestrong," which combines her soaring, bittersweet voice with expressive piano playing to sketch out her stories. Perri's first single, "Jar of Hearts," was Top 10 on iTunes Pop chart and landed at No. 25 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Her latest single, "Arms," is also from her debut album, "Lovestrong."
By Tuesday evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the six couples will be the next to leave the ballroom?
* DAVID ARQUETTE, actor and producer, and partner KYM JOHNSON.

They will first hit the dance floor performing a ballroom style dance that they have not yet performed, then will face their biggest challenge yet with the "Instant Dance" - in which they will have to master a jive to music they've been given during the live show -- MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
On TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," the eighth couple this season will be eliminated and sent home.

Bocelli is widely regarded as the most popular Italian tenor in the world, with more than 70 million albums sold.

Their first performance is an Argentine Tango, their second dance is either a Paso Doble or Samba -- one of which is a style dance they have not yet performed -- and their third dance will be the Cha Cha relay, in which all couples will dance to the same song.

In the final "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance this season, two yet to be named "DWTS" pros will perform a thrilling Paso Doble to "Bad Romance." All season long, fans have voted on the performance song, style, costumes and pro dancers for the season's Macy's Design-a-Dance.
During Tuesday night's show, the cast of Disney's "The Muppets" take over the ballroom with dazzling appearances throughout the show.

Growing up as male dancers, the boys have been targets of bullying themselves. However, with their common love of dance, the talented young dancers have learned how to triumph over adversity. Kyle, David, Jacob and Matt are assets to their community, incredible dancers and proof that there is nothing wrong with following your dreams.
By Tuesday evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the four couples will be the next to leave the ballroom?

The trio's three studio albums have sold over seven million copies across the globe, spawned five No. 1 hits, scored six Grammys and over a dozen other award show trophies. They are currently out on the road headlining the first leg of their Own the Night 2011 Tour, which was recently extended into 2012.
