Mom of eight, former dancer compete on "Dancing with the Stars"

“Dancing with the Stars” has always been pretty good about selecting celebrities with minimal dance background.

There have been a few exceptions, including the chorography king Joey Fatone and ice dancer Kristi Yamaguchi.

This season seems to be unfair to the rest of the participants because of dancer and musical artist Nicole Scherzinger. Scherzinger, famous for her lead singer status with the Pussycat Dolls, is a standout on this season’s reality dance competition.
