Dancing with the Stars (and by stars we mean deadbeats)

The 14th edition of “Dancing With the Stars” has a stellar cast — of deadbeats.

The new crop follows a long tradition of D-list castmates with a checkered history of paying taxes. Consider Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver and “Little House on the Prairie” alum Melissa Gilbert.

What’s owed:

  • The state of New York filed an $8,141 tax warrant against Donald Driver on Jan. 12, 2011, with the Albany County Clerk.
  • The IRS filed a $127,752 tax lien against Gilbert and her estranged husband, actor Bruce Boxleitner, on March 7, 2005 with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds. The lien was released June 2, 2005.

His side: A representative of Driver’s management company declined comment Friday.
