DWTS 13 – Dancing With The Stars Cast 13 Wannabes Starting To Line Up
The Dancing With The Stars Cast 13 “Wannabes” are starting to line up for Season 13. As reported to you earlier, we know Melissa Gilbert very much wants to dance on the show. All it’s going to take is a “phone call”.
Also, Lee Meriwether has also expressed great interest in the past couple of Seasons to dance. Will this be the Season Lee lights us up on the dance floor? I really hope so. Below is a recent tweet Lee posted this past Season when she went to the show. She also mentions wanting actress McKenzie Westmore to do the show with her.
My daughter @sassygal09 with the GORGEOUS @mckenziewestmor at #DWTS tonight! We had such fun…I think Mac and I should both do nxt season!

And then there is actress Dee Wallace!! PureDWTS reader Nathan sent us a heads up on this news Monday. Dee appeared on Good Morning America to promote her new book “Bright Light”. At the end of the interview they ask her is she’d like to do Dancing With The Stars. Bashful and with a lot of heart, she replied that she’d love to do the show.
Finally, News Vindication via US Weekly is reporting ‘Teen Mom’ star Maci Bookout is hoping to dance on the show. She and Bristol Palin struck up a friendship last Season. So, could this be a possible contender in the making?
Teen Mom 2 star Maci Bookout is hoping to follow in the footsteps of reality stars Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Kate Gosselin by expressing interest to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.
US Weekly reported that Maci has vehemently expressed interest in competing on the show. Then again, who wouldn’t want to get an invitation to compete on one of the world’s biggest stages? The media frenzy surrounding Kate Gosselin’s recent appearance as well as Sorrentino’s has done nothing but enhance their celebrity status.
Let’s also not forget about Colleen Zenk and Jodi Sweetin as well rumored from last Season. Colleen’s team is still campaigning hard for her and we know Colleen is up for this show in more ways than one. This past season Jodi would tweet her thoughts on the show almost every week at her twitter account and some have said she has expressed she’d like to dance with Derek Hough and yet, she follows Maks at her twitter account.
Ok, that’s all for now. So, what do you think of the people above? Would you be open to any or all of them dancing? I like all of them but Maci Bookout. I would think her profile would be repeating Bristol’s too much?
As always, I look forward to your thoughts.xx
Heidi’s Note: I saw this last night from Pro Motocross racer Josh Hansen, which I believe is a joke directed at Louie Vito. But you never know… so just in case…

These are some interesting people actally. Lee is a great idea while Westmore isn’t that well known but wouldl ook good with Tony. Dee Wallace is a great idea as well (paired with Louis hopefully….don’t know why but I can see her paired with him). I don;t think Marci has a chance to get on the show. She isn’t as popular as the Situation is/was/will continue to be (for what reasons I still don’t know…..I’m not a fan lol). Collen and Jodi should definately do the show (maybe the same season) they seem lik nice people and would be fun to watch. I actually am a fan of Josh Hansen…he would be perfect for the show. He can be the sports star and the one nobody really knows (like Mike Catherwood , Kyle Massey and Giles were in their respective seasons). The dude is great at wha the does but him dancing would be interesting to see since he exudes confidence on the bike but what about when he is off it? Definately a idea I can support.
Yay to Colleen and Jodie….I already listed Maura and Micheal so adding Colleen also from the now cancelled ATWT would be awesome. Colleen seems to be elluding that daytime emmy so this opportunity would be great for her… And also her cancer comeback story….
Jodie has a backstory as well…So they are both great possibilities…
Sorry for my lack of technical know-how in linking to the tweet. Sutan Amrull, aka Raja, winner of this season’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, tweeted the following on May 9. “sutanamrull: I wanna be on dancing with the stars! :)” No idea how serious he was about it, but an intriguing possibility!
I think I’ll be ill if they let Maci on the show – at least Bristol was famous for being the daughter of a politician, all Maci is famous for is having a baby at 16 and actually being the only one of about three seasons of 16 & Pregnant to actually seem somewhat normal. Hate that all the tabloids pay them to tell their ‘stories’, making teen pregnancy glamorous versus what the show was originally created for, which was to showcase how hard it was to be a teen mom. Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox.
Wasn’t Lee Meriweather campaigning to be on the show last year? Is there a history of that working or do they tend to go after people who don’t really express the interest.
It would be good to see a soap star, but since ABC is killing all their soaps, probably not likely to get any other network stars (though they could use Hillary B. Smith – she danced on the show years ago and since OLTL will be ending in January, might actually make promotional sense.)
Love the new content – keep it coming. But did I miss the last Cheesecake awards??
I’m not really crazy over any of the people in the above rumours except Melissa Gilbert. At least I know who she is! lol Well, I know who Jodi Sweetin is, but I can take her or leave her on the show. It’s still early days fortunately. 🙂
Cheesecake is almost done, Sue. 🙂
Remember, everyone, this is a list of people who want to be on the show, NOT a list of rumored participants. Huge difference. This is a point I will probably hammer home several dozen more time before we find out the next cast. 🙂 but it’s pretty easy to get the two confused especially when other sites refuse to make the distinction that we do. Anyone can say they want to be on the show – doesn’t mean they have a shot in hell. 🙂 Lots of people don’t make the distinction – which makes digging out actual rumors difficult at best.
Hearing that they asked Regis Philbin to do the show, I wish they would ask Kelly Ripa as well, as sort of like a Jewel/Ty Murray situation.
Husband vs. Wife..
Co host vs. Co host?
I’d love to see Kelly too! Not sure Regis would last long enough to see much of the host vs co-host thing though. LOL
