Drew Lachey

After almost a decade of peripheral fame as a member of the "boy band" 98 Degrees (which also featured his older brother Nick), and later as second banana to Nick on his MTV reality series "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" (2003-05), Drew Lachey finally came into his own in 2006, albeit under offbeat circumstances - he took home the winning trophy in the second season of "Dancing with the Stars" (ABC, 2004- ). The singer bested such competition as ex-NFL player Jerry Rice, Tia Carrera, and hip-hop mogul Master P. Regardless of the somewhat silly nature of the program, the "Dancing" win did underscore what many fans already felt about the other Lachey - his time in the spotlight was long overdue.
