I was anxiously waiting to find out who would be dancing this season on Dancing With The Stars, and while I was watching the Bachelor last night, ABC revealed the full cast. I must admit there are some people I am dying to see out there on the dance floor and others I’m not quite sure what ABC was thinking… but I will keep my comments to myself this time and just opt to look at the shoes these stars tend to wear!

One star I can’t wait to see dance, recently from NBC’s The Sing-off, (pilot show that aired this past winter) Nicole Scherzinger, the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. She is fun and definitely knows how to sing… can she dance?! Here is the full list of celebrities appearing on DWTS Season 10, their dance partners, and my shoe picks for the stars:

Jessica Simpson Astor $79.95

1) Pamela Anderson with partner Damian Whitewood - Steve Madden Tuscaan for $89.95
2) Kate Gosselin with Tony Dovolani - Rockport Audry 2 Band for $129.95

The Dec. 7, 2009 issue of Woman’s World is available this week, and on pages 8 and 9 you will find “11 Trendy Holiday Accessories You Already Own!” There are some really good tips and tricks to dazzling up your “plain janes” in the closet! Add a brooch or clip-on earring to your jewelry, handbags, and even your shoes!

Mootsies Tootsies Hot Heels $44.95

The 11th trendy holiday accessory is the Mootsies Tootsies Hot Heels pump that retails for $44.95 on ShoeMall. According to Woman’s World, heels and flats with bejewled accents are a great choice for evening. Instead of buying a new pair, they paired this shoe with a colorful clip-on earring accent. In case your in the mood to  splurge on a new pair of shoes this holiday season, go ahead and try the Jessica Simpson Dereck for $89.95.  You will be sure to turn heads with these heels!

Jessica Simpson Dereck $89.95

Jessica Simpson Abilene $209.95

Boots, Boots, Boots!

Whether you want to look like an urban cowgirl or biker babe, fall 2009 is definitely the year of the boot! The best thing about this years boot trend is that it is covering so much ground.

Western has completely exploded this fall with full perforated and classic stitch detail to the plaid shirts with snap buttons. Time for Brittany (Spears) to haul hers out of the closet…AGAIN! I though she would never take hers off in 2007 — maybe she was just ahead of all of us from the start!

Steve Madden Korset $149.95

Granny boots have hit the scene with corset lacing and surprising detail like peep toes and ruffles.

The sassiest boot look to come back by far is the over the knee tall boots. Think of the movie Pretty Women, but you won’t have to color in the heels with a black marker on these. Dress it up or down with your favorite tunic and leggings, from suede to leather, high heel or flat, this is a boot trend to design your outfit around. Khloe Kardashian knows how to rock the thigh highs in this simple yet feisty look!

Last but not least, if you want to look like you are riding a horse or a Harley, flat boots are a hit. We all want to look fashionable but not pay the price with swollen, sore feet. Three cheers for riding and motorcycle boots!

Chinese Laundry Tripin' $99.95

Basic harness boots are back and the riding boot will always be in classic style. Tuck them into skinny jeans or get a little edgy and pair them with a cotton dress and tights.

Steve Madden Brinx $169.95

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher had a very interesting story to share with the world yesterday. According to People.com, the two were on a flight from Las Vegas to New York that ended up making an emergency landing soon after takeoff. Luckily, neither actor was injured. In fact, they both tweeted about the ordeal soon afterward!

Demi and Ashton are pictured at the event that brought them to Las Vegas to begin with – the premier of the movie Spread. Demi looks absolutely amazing in her one strap black dress – very classy and ridiculously toned. (It’s hard to believe that she is almost 47 years old!)

Jessica Simpson Badoline

The flashy shoes she chose for the evening are perfect. They add a little something extra to her outfit without being over the top. Plus, the slight platform makes it easier to pull off such a high heel. The Jessica Simpson Badoline Pump is a good choice for anyone looking to copy this style for their own exciting night out. For all the fashionable men out there, a classic black slip-on is never the wrong choice.

Say it’s not so! Per People, Dancing with the Stars fan favorite Julianne Hough will not be returning to the ABC hit show next season. It sounds like she would rather create music than dance to it.

Julianne recently made an appearance at the High School Musical 3: Senior Year premier in Los Angeles. Was she looking to get some musical pointers from the stars of this popular Disney movie? I’m not sure, but I do know that she definitely didn’t need any pointers in the fashion department. She looks amazing in the slip dress and adorable pumps she chose to step out in.

If you like her shoes but don’t want to spend a bundle to get something similar, take a look at the Lizza Pump by Jessica Simpson. Fashion at the fair price of $89.95 – what more can you ask for? Plus, the shoes are available in four neutral colors for those of us out there who can never buy just one pair
