'DWTS:' Who gets Maks and Hough?

Here's the list of celebrity pairings on the 13th season of "Dancing with the Stars." As expected, Maks gets Hope Solo which absolutely makes this duo the one to beat . . . and good luck with that! And who is the lucky dancer to get Derek Hough, back after a season or so off? That would be Ricki Lake, who instantly becomes a cinch to last long and hard in this competition. Lucky Ricki.

And you'll also note some brand new names here, and a few notable absences -- Louis Van Amstel and Edyta Sliwinska, to name two.
