Rick Perry, Ryan Lochte will be contestants on 'Dancing With The Stars'
Once a contender to become president of the United States, Rick Perry will appear on Dancing With The Stars with Vanilla Ice, per Entertainment Tonight.
Perry served three terms as governor of Texas, the second most populous state in the country. Now, it looks like he will compete against cough drop-endorsed athlete Ryan Lochte and The Brady Bunch's Maureen McCormick to see whose hips can get America's hearts racing.
Also competing will be retired NFL star Calvin Johnson, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Amber Rose.
