Sherri Shepherd and Davy Jones Reject Dancing With The Stars
What a turn around this news is! In the last few months (and Seasons before this), Sherri Shepherd has been very vocal about wanting to do dance on Dancing With The Stars. But, according to TMZ today, this won’t be happening this upcoming Season. Sherri is getting married later this month and won’t have time. So, she’s turned down an offer.
Sources close to Shepherd tell TMZ she’s been approached by “DWTS” for this upcoming season — and they’ve been “aggressively courting her.”
But Shepherd is getting married later this month — during hiatus from “The View” — and we’re told once she goes back to work … there just won’t be time for “DWTS.”
Also, one of the celebrities listed on many of our dream cast lists, Davy Jones, has said “no” to dancing as well. Reality Blurred reported this quote from Davy which is kind of hard to understand, but, according to the link it’s a “rejection”.
During a press conference yesterday for his upcoming December PBS special called “60s Pop Rock: My Music,” Davy Jones said, as part of one of his long, rambling answers, “If I want to go out there and compete … maybe there was a phone call a couple days ago to go on Dancing with the Stars. If they would have called me three years ago, I would have said yes. What am I dancing against, a boxer and a baseball player? Do you know what I mean? I’m a song and dance man, you know.”
Well, you never know, maybe they will change their minds and dancing will work out better in their future? I’d really love Davy on the show!!!
His response is kinda confusing.
It kinda makes him sound like he thinks he is better than the athletes?
@Cameron – I dont take it as he thinks he is better than the athletes. I think he means that he is a ‘little guy’ next to them. I mean how tall is he, 5’4” or something like that. But, in the Monkees hayday, I had a mad crush on that ‘little guy’.. He was a real cutie!!
Would love to see Davy on the show! I was a big Monkees fan.
LOL Sandy! I did too. I had to watch the Monkees every Saturday morning and he was my favorite! I think it would be to have Mickey on the show too.
Davy Jones of “The Monkees” and “Brady Bunch” fame turned down DWTS! That jsut seems like overactive ego on his part. If they want a old tv and music star they should get david cassidy or scott baio (didn’t he sing on happy days and the spinoff that didn”t last too long?). Either one paired with Anna T.
Ok, so what I’m gathering from the Davy Jones interview is that there is a baseball player and a boxer lined up? I soooo hope this is true! Baseball is the one sport I actually care about, so to see is a baseball athlete would be awesome!
As for Sherri, I watched The View the other day and Sherri mentioned that it was ultimately up to Barbara Walters and Bill Getty. And Barbara had this look like “Not even in your dreams will you leave your contract”. I doubt Sherri will ever do DWTS as long as she’s under Barbara’s watch.
Sorry for the typos guys.
Maybe once things settle down for Sherry she’ll be able to do DWTS another season. I can imagine it would be hard to be off for a while getting married, and then ask for time off again so soon to do DWTS. Maybe she could practise in NY (like Wendy Williams did) and only go to LA on Monday and Tuesdays for DWTS (but that would still take her off The View for 2 days each week for as long as she’s on DWTS). Oh, well.
[…] producers won’t let her out to do DWTS. Seems like we’ve talked about her a lot here. Last word was on August 1, where she supposedly turned an offer […]
