Dancing With the Stars just got a whole lot more attractive. The cast for season 23 of the hit ABC reality show is getting a lot of star power, as they have added Ryan Lochte and Amber Rose to the impressive cast. Now 90's star Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds has been added to the list of people vying for the mirrorball trophy.

According to Us Weekly, the star behind such hits as "Every Time I Close My Eyes," "Whip Appeal," and "When Can I See You," has agreed to take a twirl around the dance floor with his new dancing pro partner Allison Holker.

Not only has the star been a major power house in his own right, but he has also collaborated with other well known artists including Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Ariana Grande, just to name a few. Hit works in the music world have also help land him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But all that notoriety isn't going to help him on the dance floor, as he will be competing against some pretty big heavy hitters. In addition to Locthe, and Rose, the 57-year-old star will be joining Jake T. Austin of Wizards of Waverly Place and The Foster's fame, as well as the most recent Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, according to Access Hollywood.

In addition to that, Babyface will be one of the stars that will be competing against Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who will be making his return to the show after a two years hiatus.

However, the producer's wish list is still pretty high, as they were hoping to get gymnasts and America's newest it-girl, Simone Biles, to be a part of the new season. However, when E! News reached out to her she explained that she would have done it if she didn't have other commitments already in place.

"I would love to do Dancing With the Stars, but so far we have a three-month tour after this Olympics," the star mentioned.
