Who turned down 'Dancing'?
Which celebrities have rejected requests to go on "Dancing With The Stars?" Kat has the scoop.
This season's "Dancing With the Stars" lineup is, as always, a cross section of the Hollywood food chain. You've got the pop culture touchstones (David Hasselhoff, Florence "Mrs. Brady" Henderson, Michael Bolton, sadly sans mullet), the reality TV representatives (Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his pecs, Audrina Patridge and her skyward-pointing eyes), and the sentimental favorite (Jennifer Grey, who will try to prove that no one puts Baby in a corner, even now).
But then there's the cast that might have been. According to the Hollywood Reporter, ABC made overtures to a number of candidates from all walks of celebrity life to take part in Season 11, only to receive the thumbs-down.
Among them: Sylvester Stallone, who just scored at the box office with "The Expendables"; Tim Allen; Suzanne Somers; Virgin billionaire Richard Branson, conservative commentator Ann Coulter; former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; crusading legal pit bull Erin Brockovich; and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
