Ricky Paull Goldin of "All My Children" will be appearing in a Mardi Gras parade this year in New Orleans.

As if there weren't already enough reasons to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the Krewe of Orpheus, which always offers up a celebrity-packed parade, has announced that "All My Children" star Ricky Paull Goldin will be riding in it this year.

Known for their huge, dazzling floats, the Orpheus Krewe will present its big parade through downtown New Orleans on February 23rd, the night before Mardi Gras.

He won't be the only soap star in attendance though. New Orleans native Christian LeBlanc, Emmy-nominated star of "The Young and the Restless" will also be riding in the parade. They'll be joined by other such notables as Joan Rivers, Jim Belushi, the cast of "Reno 911," and Bryan Batt of "Mad Men."
