Melanie Griffith Turned Down For ‘Dancing with the Stars’…Again

Posted on: September 2, 2010 | Comments Off

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.

Posted on: September 4, 2009 | Comments Off

Antonio Banderas is completely denying all the reports that Fox News is spitting out that he is leaving his wife because she landed back in rehab…again.

Fox also reported that Mel’s trip to rehab was not planned but rather the result of Antonio’s refusal to continue putting up with her insane demands, such as insisting all her food be yello

“She’s doing fantastic and very little of what is being published is true,” he told Extra TV. “I am not going away.”

Melanie Griffith Checks Into Rehab

Posted on: August 25, 2009 | Comments Off

Melanie Griffith has checked herself into the Cirque Lodge in Utah for some much needed rehab. At the strong request of her husband, Antonio Banderas. And when I say strong..I mean her told to get help or hit the street. And since the Cirque Lodge worked so well for Lindsay Lohan, we are glad to hear that Melanie chose that rehab center.

“She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago,” Melanie’s publicist, Robin Baum, told Star Magazine of the actress’ stay at Cirque Lodge in Utah.

But an insider tells Star she agreed to go to rehab to save her marriage. “She’s working with the counselors on getting control of her demons.”

“The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober,” another source tells Star. “He told her that if she didn’t get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage.”

According to a third source, “Melanie’s struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet. Without Antonio in her life, I honestly believe Melanie would be dead.”
