You already know who is going to be on the 11th season of Dancing with the Stars….but guess who the producers tried to get and couldn’t?
Sylvester Stallone, Ann Coulter, Condoleeza Rice, Erin Brockovich, Richard Branson, Tim Allen and Suzanne Somers.
And guess who wanted on and was denied…again? Melanie Griffith. Sad, no? Why don’t they want her?
“We’ve approached a lot of people over the years,” executive producer Conrad Green told THR. “People say no for a variety of reasons. Some people like the show but think they suck at dancing. It’s a lot easier to say no than it is to say yes.”
Others who have turned down the show in the past: Reality star Kirstie Alley, “Community” star Joel McHale and “The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey.
Although lobbying for a spot on the roster has proved successful in the past — hello, Melissa Joan Hart — the casting source said those who push usually have little success. “Melanie Griffith tries to get on every season,” the source said.
