The list also includes names such as rapper Nelly, Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, Catfish TV presenter Nev Schulman, Desperate Housewives and John Tucker Must Die actor Jesse Metcalfe, and Cheer star Monica Aldama.
Last month, Baskin was rumoured to be on the line-up for this year's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, scheduled to take place in Gwrych Castle in North Wales this year.
However the reality TV star and animal rights activist quickly rebutted the rumours, criticising the show for its use of live insects in bush tucker trials.
She said "The show has been criticised by animal lovers for the consumption of live creatures, and no amount of money would make me want to be part of something that disrespects nature that way".

When someone from outside of America tries to watch the show on the ABC website, they will be faced with a message informing them that they are not allowed to stream the show due to their location.
However, you can watch the highlights on the Dancing with the Stars YouTube channel for free.
