Kim Kardashian
NEW YORK - Kim Kardashian said Monday she will appear as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" this fall even though she checked into a New York City hospital on Sunday after cutting her foot on a glass table in her hotel room.

"I cut my foot pretty bad. ... It looked like a murder scene with all the blood everywhere," Kardashian, who co-stars with her family on the E! reality series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," said in a phone call to "Good Morning America."

"I will be able to dance. I went to the hospital. I'll be fine," she added.

Following weeks of buzz and speculation, the official "Dancing" cast was announced Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

The 13 celebrities slated to compete on the new season of the top-rated dance contest, premiering Sept. 22, include Kardashian, Susan Lucci, Lance Bass, Brooke Burke, Cloris Leachman, Toni Braxton, chef Rocco DiSpirito, Cody Linley of "Hannah Montana," comedian Jeffrey Ross, Ted McGinley, NFL champ Warren Sapp and two Olympic athletes: Misty May-Treanor, who won her second gold medal for beach volleyball at this year's summer games in Beijing, and Maurice Greene, who won two gold medals in track at the 2000 games in Sydney

Reality star Kim Kardashian wants to be pop star. Kardashian, 27, who will compete in season 7 of Dancing With the Stars, says she would jump at the opportunity to be a singer.

"I would be down with [launching a singing career], if it was something fun," she says. "I love music, so it would just have to be the right thing." Kardashian was briefly married to record producer Damon Thomas when she was 19, and her late father, Robert Kardashian, was an entertainment attorney who had dealings in the music business. Kardashian was most famous for having been one of O.J. Simpson's defense attorneys
