Wozniak to hoof it on 'Dancing with the Stars'

LOS ANGELES (AP) — ABC says the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" will feature computer guru Steve Wozniak along with husband-and-wife competitors Jewel and Ty Murray and football great Lawrence Taylor.

The network announced the field of 13 celebrity competitors Sunday. "Dancing with the Stars" returns for its eighth season March 9 with a two-hour episode.

ABC says pop star Jewel will compete for "bragging rights" in the dance contest against Murray, her champion bull-rider spouse.

The rest of the field: singers Belinda Carlisle, Chuck Wicks and Lil' Kim; actors Denise Richards, David Alan Grier and Gilles Marini; Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson; Steve-O of MTV's "Wildboyz" and TV host Nancy O'Dell.
