Now that we’ve found out the celebrities who will be competing in Season 10’s ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ ABC has announced the second (but no less important) part of this reality TV show equation: the professional dancers each contestant will be paired up with. Here is the complete list:

-- Astronaut and resident moon walker Buzz Aldrin teams up with Ashly Costa (formerly DelGrosso)

-- Pamela Anderson is coupled with new ‘DWTS’ pro Damian Whitewood

-- ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is partnered with resident ‘DWTS’ bad boy Maksim Chemerkovskiy

-- Actress Shannen Doherty steps out with two-time champ Mark Ballas

-- Kate Gosselin is matched up with Tony Dovolani

-- Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek is with Anna Trebunskaya (pictured)

-- ‘Reno 911!’s’ Niecy Nash will be with Louis Van Amstel

-- Cincinnati Bengal Chad Ochocinco teams up with two-time champ Cheryl Burke

-- Newly engaged ‘Bachelor’ Jake Pavelka is matched with Chelsie Hightower

-- Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger partners with Season 7 champ Derek Hough

-- ‘All My Children’ star Aiden Turner is paired with legwarmer queen Edyta Sliwinska, the only pro to compete in all 10 seasons.

Note that there’s no Dmitry Chaplin, Karina Smirnoff, or recent champ Kym Johnson this season. Did your favorite pro make the list? And now that you’ve seen the matchups, who do you think has what it takes to win it all?
