Major Dancing With the Stars spoilers scoop this afternoon. The new cast has been leaked in advance of tonight's official announcement on Bachelor Pad!

Over the weekend, we learned Chaz Bono would be participating (and dancing with a woman, as he is legally a man now). That was pretty big news.

As for those who will compete against him?

At least according to the buzz we've heard, there are some big names - with ABC bigwigs apparently insisted on - but plenty of d-listers to go around.

It's a group sure to get people talking, but with a considerable component of viewers shrieking "worst cast ever!" Those viewers will then tune in anyway.

So here they are after the jump:

Jason Castro now has a child to whom he can sing sweet melodies.

The former American Idol finalist and wife Mandy welcomed a daughter into the world this week, as Castro Tweeted out a photo of him and Madeline. Prepare to be AWWWW-ed in 3... 2... 1...

The couple married in January 2010 and this is their first baby. She's adorable. Congratulations and best wishes to all!

Dharun Ravi, 19, reportedly sent a text message in which he apologized to Tyler Clementi, his Rutgers University roommate, on September 22 of last year.

Clementi had taken his own life 14 minutes earlier.

Prosecutors think Ravi's apology - sent after he learned he would be disciplined by Rutgers for using a webcam to film Clementi's romantic encounter with a male friend - was just a cynical attempt to avoid punishment from the school.

"This was just one of many attempts by [the] defendant to dilute, cover up and explain, in other words to tamper with facts and to fabricate evidence that could be looked on as favorable to him," Middlesex County prosecutors said.

Ravi is charged with 15 offenses, including bias and intimidation. Prosecutors were responding to a motion filed by Ravi's attorney to dismiss the charges.

The prosecution cited instant-message chats, other text messages and emails sent by both Clementi and Ravi as more than enough reason to proceed.

Minnesota Congresswoman and GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was apparently quoted as saying that essentially, last week's earthquake and this past weekend's Hurricane Irene were messages from God.

God's point: Federal deficits are totally out of control!

Bachmann told Floridians Sunday that Irene and the quake felt along much of the East Coast last week were messages from God to warn "politicians" to start heeding divine guidance ... via small government conservatives, obvi.

"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?'" Bachmann told a crowd in Sarasota, Fla.

"Listen to the American people, because the American people are roaring. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in spending."

Javaris Crittenton, the former shooting guard for Georgia Tech University and the Washington Wizards, is officially a wanted man.

The 24-year old is accused of killing Jullian Jones on August 19, a mother of four, in a botched attempt to retaliate against the person who robbed him in April. Considered "armed and dangerous" by the Atlanta police, authorities have released the following poster of Crittenton:

The FBI believes Crittenton is in Los Angeles and has put up a cash reward for information leading to his arrest.

Meanwhile, Gilbert Arena - who actually drew guns with Crittenton inside the Washington locker room two years ago - has Tweeted the following in response to the case:

I really wanna say sumthing but i wont becuz theirs a dead woman involved.

Talk about a matchup made in celebrity fashion heaven.

Lady Gaga's performance as Jo Calderone wasn't the last we saw of her male alter ego at the MTV Video Music Awards. She showed up at Sunday's event in character and continued to channel Jo at an after party following the show!

Topping last year's meat dress wasn't easy, but she may have managed it in her understated drag. That is way too convincing. Gaga may have even outshone Nicki Minaj - not an easy feat - for wildest couture choice of the night.

Whose fashion do you think was best? Cast your vote!

We profiled the lovely women of Jersey Shore in a Fashion Face-Off earlier today. JWoww is currently OWNING Deena and Snooki according to THG readers. Stunner.

Now, it's time for three of our favorite juiced-up fist-pumpers to show us what they've got. Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Magro and Pauly D were all on hand Sunday.

Noticeably absent? The Situation. Possibly by design, given that the Jersey Shore episode preceding the VMAs showed him getting his head bashed in by a wall.

Anyway, who was the best dressed of the three? Vote below!

In light of a new scandal, Kreayshawn likely doesn't care anymore whether she defeats Kim Kardashian in a Fashion Face-Off.

The 21-year old artist - best known for the track "Gucci Gucci" and who hosted MTV's red carpet coverage at last night's VMAs - has gone off on Twitter about someone allegedly stealing naked photos she posed for... when she was younger than 18 years old.

Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci

"My twitter got hacked today by some anti-hollywood extremists," Kreayshawn wrote. "They sent out wack ass tweets and promoted their odd message of anti-jew stuff and deleted my twitter.. Oh and they leaked out private photos of me while I was underage... Real nice guys! Spreading [child-porno] thats cute."

It's an unfortunate, possibly illegal situation. But how was Kreayshawn's Sunday night otherwise? She concluded:

"VMA’s was insane on top of that. Can I s**t man? I ain’t even mad."

A member of the Lohan family reportedly received threatening phone calls last week. No, not Lindsay Lohan ... or Dina or Ali or Michael or Michael Jr.

The target was Cody Lohan, 15. Obviously.

Cody (short for Dakota) contacted the Nassau County P.D. Thursday and told officers a mystery caller was constantly threatening to "harm him."

So far, police say they haven't found anything out of the ordinary, but they are reportedly taking the threats against the youngest Lohan seriously.

Cody's mom Dina is still in Los Angeles, having attended the Kardashian wedding along with Lindsay (obviously), but Cody is under proper care.
