“What? Like, it’s hard?” The 50-year-old actress, who portrayed Vivian in “Legally Blonde,” is bringing her undeniable star power to the ballroom.

Blair, whose other famous projects include “Cruel Intentions,” “The Sweetest Thing,” and “Hellboy,” will have a unique experience this season due to her battle with multiple sclerosis. The actress has been vocal about her journey ever since her diagnosis in 2018, including in her new memoir, “Mean Baby.”

“It really was the gift I received when I was vulnerable about the MS,” Blair previously said during a “Today” show appearance. “There’s no real room for guilt.”

After previously turning down the offer to do “DWTS” in 2016, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star finally said “yes” for Season 31.

Her ballroom debut will come just weeks after she said “I do” to Luis “Louie” Ruelas in a lavish New Jersey wedding. The reality star, 50, follows in the footsteps of a number of “Housewives” who have previously competed on the show, including Lisa Rinna, Kenya Moore, Erika Jayne, Nene Leakes and Lisa Vanderpump.

Fresh off filming for “The Bachelorette” and straight into rehearsals for “DWTS,” the reality star, 31, certainly isn’t wasting any time.

Windey has big shoes to fill, as former “Bachelorette” stars Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe won the mirrorball trophy in Season 28 and Season 29, respectively. However, we’re guessing her five-year stint as a Denver Broncos cheerleader will help put her on the leaderboard in the weeks to come.

Gym, tan and… learning how to quickstep. The “Jersey Shore” star, 34, will also be one to watch, seeing as he spent plenty of time onstage (shirtless, nonetheless) dancing for Chippendales in Las Vegas.

“He was definitely one of the best-received guest hosts we have had, bringing in tons of ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Double Shot at Love’ fans,” a rep for the male striptease show previously told Page Six. “He basically sold out almost every performance.”

Following JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson’s history-making partnership last season, “DWTS” will continue moving things forward by pairing a male pro with the show’s first-ever drag queen competitor.

The “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star, 40, is of course no stranger to making history, however. Shangela previously made headlines for being the first person to walk the red carpet in drag at the Oscars for her supporting role in “A Star Is Born,” which starred Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The activist currently stars on HBO’s “We’re Here.”

As for her partner, he’s returning as a pro for the first time since Season 21. His “DWTS” history dates all the way back to the show’s first season when he competed with “Bachelorette” alum Trista Sutter.

Seeing as the fitness model, who is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia Baena, is paired with the show’s reigning mirrorball champion, fans will likely have their sights set high on him being an early frontrunner.

In addition to heath and fitness, the 24-year-old has a passion for acting and has starred in projects like “Called To Duty: The Last Airshow,” “Terminator 2 remake with Joseph Baena: Bad to the Bone” and “Bully High.”

If the Emmy Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated comedian’s previous work is any indication of success, the rest of the cast should be prepared to step it up.

His own accomplishments aside, the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” star, 50, is paired with the pro who won Season 19 with Alfonso Ribeiro, who is returning to the show to co-host with Tyra Banks. We have a feeling the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum may already be rooting for Brady and Carson to take home the win this season.
