Kim Kardashian, Lil’ Kim, and More Stars You Forgot Were on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
It’s hard to believe Dancing With the Stars has been on the air for almost 12 years! And throughout the show’s 24 seasons, a lot of famous faces have appeared — so much in fact that it’s easy to forget who’s been on the show.
The competitive dance show, which takes random celebrities and pairs them with a professional dancer, has been a surprise hit for ABC. Although originally regarded as a place for D-list celebs to stretch out their 15 minutes of fame, the show has widened its reach and has snagged some major stars, like Pamela Anderson, Toni Braxton, and even Kim Kardashian.
Yep, you read correctly. Before she became Mrs. Kanye West, she appeared on Dancing With the Stars back in 2008, just shortly after Keeping Up With the Kardashians began airing on TV. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t perform that well and was eliminated third.

Her short stint on the show continues to be a source of embarrassment for her, which she revealed during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. While explaining how she got into a fight with Kanye, she admitted a fear of hers — she hates dancing at concerts.
“Like, it was our biggest fight that I don’t dance at Kanye’s concerts,” she told Kourtney Kardashian and Malika Haqq on the show. “I did not dance on Dancing With the Stars. Like, I did not dance!”
Her professional dance partner, Mark Ballas, confirmed that she had two left feet.
“[She] wasn’t the best dancing partner. I love her, she’s awesome, we became good friends,” he told Orlando Sentinel in 2015. “Dancing was not her thing, but she’s a great girl.”
