Will NFL star Chad Ochocinco be a part of the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars?  Multiple sources are now confirming that the often-flamboyant Cincinnati Bengals star will appear on the ABC reality show this year.

Ochocinco joins the ranks of many other NFL stars who have appeared on the program, including Warren Sapp, Emmitt Smith, and Jerry Rice.

ABC would neither confirm nor deny the rumor, emphasizing that the official announcement airs tonight during the season finale of The Bachelor.

Among the other celebrities expected to make the Dancing with the Stars 2010 lineup are Kate Gosselin and Pamela Anderson.

One report claims that Kate Gosselin has been practicing her dance moves at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel. Gosselin has reportedly been under a shroud of security, rehearsing her dance steps with no children to be seen.

At one point, it was believed that former American Idol judge Paula Abdul would appear on the show as well, however, those rumors have been all but extinguished as she is now expected to appear on Simon Cowell‘s X Factor.  Abdul reportedly turned down a $1 million offer from ABC to be on DWTS.
