Rehearsals have begun for the Dancing with the Stars cast and The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka, who was only recently able to be seen in public with his new fiance, Vienna Giradi, is now going to become very, very busy. Hopefully it won't put strain on his relationship with Vienna, who had, until recently,  been  separated from Pavelka since their engagement over the summer.

The 11 couples, announced during Monday's Bachelor finale,  underwent their first 6-hour rehearsal today. Reportedly, the celebs  who include  Buzz Aldrin, Pamela Anderson, Nicole Scherzinger,  Kate Gosselin and Olympics gold medalist Evan Lysacek, will  showcase their Viennese Waltz and Cha Cha  dance numbers  on ABC's season premiere on March 22.

The Bodog Sportsbook recently posted odds, naming Lysacek the favorite. Buzz Aldrin has been named  the longshot at 40/1. Want to bet on Dancing with the Stars? Get all your odds  with Bodog today!  Need an account? Join Bodog today.
