The judges of "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars" will have to adjust their judging this time around.

Instead of celebrities who have taken a ballroom dance lesson, they will be evaluating a cast filled with celebrities who have been there, done that and, in a few cases, won that giant disco mirror ball trophy.

Drew Lachey, Shawn Johnson, Emmitt Smith, Apolo Anton Ohno, Kelly Monaco and Helio Castroneves are returning champions who will be joining previous contestants including Pamela Anderson, Bristol Palin, Gilles Marini, Sabrina Bryan and Melissa Rycroft when the series kicks off its season with a live premiere 7-9 p.m. Monday on ABC, channel 8.

The contestants will once again be judged by ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba. Brooke Burke-Charvet and Tom Bergeron will be the show hosts.

The celebrities and their professional dance partners are:

Kirstie Alley and her original partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who is returning for his 13th season

Pamela Anderson and Tristan MacManus, returning for his third season.

Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower, who is returning for her seventh season.

Joe Fatone and two-time champion Kym Johnson, back for her 12th season.

Shawn Johnson with three-time champion Derek Hough, returning for his 10th season.

Drew Lachey and Anna Trebunskaya, back for her 10th season.

Gilles Marini and last season's champion Peta Murgatroyd, returning for her third season.

Kelly Monaco and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, returning for his third season.

Apolo Anton Ohno with season 13 champion Karina Smirnoff, back for her 12th season.

Bristol Palin and her original partner two-time champion Mark Ballas, returning for his 13th season.

Melissa Rycroft with Tony Dovolani, back for his 14th season.

Emmitt Smith with his original partner two-time champion Cheryl Burke, returning for her 14th season.

Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel, who is back for his ninth season.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
