DWTS Season 11 – Another Rumor Gets a Bit More Solid
🙂 And that rumor is Landon Donovan. Another interesting non-denial. From Ryan Seacrest via Soccer Fanhouse:
In an interview Wednesday with Ryan Seacrest, Donovan avoided giving a definitive answer. When asked about the show, Donovan quipped, “You haven’t seen me dance, have you? … My only hope is that they don’t find a picture of me dancing somewhere in Vegas. That could be brutal.”
But don’t rule the L.A. Galaxy star out just yet. He certainly seemed amenable to the possibility.
“I’ve seen how many people watch the show,” Donovan said.
“I think my only request would be to get one of the really hot dancer girls,” Donovan said. “Those girls are so hot, and they’re so fit.”
Indeed.
Isn’t Landon married? I’m sure wifey would love to hear about his request for the one of the “hot dancer girls”. But here’s what makes me laugh – if he wants one of the “hot” dancer girls, is he implying that there are some not-so-hot dancer girls? Wonder who they are 😛
Courtney,
I was going to ask the same question. Although, I have to admit that I think there are hot and hotter dance girls on the show.
Landon Donovan is actually in the process of divorcing his wife. I’m still not sold on him coming to the show. He’s the biggest name in US Soccer right now and the MLS finals are in November. He’ll be playing soccer for a little bit and I don’t think he can dance and play at the same time.
I’m gonna to vote for Clint Mathis to join the cast for their soccer “star.” There’s not doubt soccer as at an all-time high here in the US and US Soccer could use the publicity. He is actually retiring this weekend and he’s a little bit of a character. I think it’s a perfect fit!

I hope they pair him with Chelsie or Kym. Other than those two, Cheryl Burke or maybe Lacey would be good for him.
Howard,
Clint Mathis is quite the character. However, Landon has the bigger name. Hard choice between who would be more entertaining on the show and who has a bigger fan base.
I don’t know how excited I would be for Landon Donovan to be on the Show. I listened to his interview on Ryan Seacrest’s show, and I just got the feeling that he would be using it simply find a date. Although, I could be totally wrong on that, though… And, it could be that he was saying things about the “really hot dancer girls…” to tease Ryan….
ANYWAY! Here’s the url, you can listen here… http://www.ryanseacrest.com/blog/whats-happening/has-dancing-with-the-stars-recruited-soccer-star-landon-donovan-audio/
I would have been funny if Landon had said: “I think my only request would be to get one of the really hot dancer girls…. Julianne Hough”
Not too many rumors this season, huh. There weren’t that many last season either though. TPTB are getting good.
Jennifer, your comment cracked me up!!! It would have been priceless if Landon had made that comment, what would Ryan have said in response?! Thanks for the laugh! Chelsie has a crush on him, so I’m thinking she’s a shoe-in to get him IF he’s a contestant this season and it sounded pretty incriminating to me, it’ll make for some fun viewing for sure, I love when Chels has a bit of a thing for her partner (I loved her chemistry with Louie).
I know it is probably too late for this season but has anyone thought about John Schneider as a possible? i think he would be a good one. Maybe even next season. I do not miss a show.
