Lake hopes to follow in the footsteps of Kristie Alley, Kelly Osbourne, Bristol Palin, and Marie Osmond. She is hoping the celebrity dancing competition will help her lose some extra pounds.

Lake told Access Hollywood, "I fell in love, and I got a little fluffy this year. Not a lot fluffy, but like a little fluffier than I want to be. This is definitely time for me to shed the (pounds) for my wedding next year."

Lake announced her engagement to Christian Evans earlier this month. She said her fiancé is a big fan of the show.

Chaz Bono, Kristin Cavallari, Chynna Phillips and Ryan O'Neal are to join David Arquette and George Clooney's ex Elisabetta Canalis on the new season of hit U.S. TV show Dancing With The Stars, according to a leaked list of participants.

The official announcement for the new cast is slated for Monday night, but USA Today has leaked it via a tweet from DWTSGossip.

Kim Kardashian’s brother Rob, U.S. political pundit Nancy Grace, Ricki Lake, soccer star Hope Solis and basketball player Ron Artest will also be among the celebrity dancers, according to the leaked list.

Reports suggest Cher's daughter Chaz Bono, who recently underwent a sex change treatment to become a man, will be dancing with a female professional on the show. (c) tPC
