Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast Wishes
While it’s always fun to check out the DWTS Season 11 cast rumors and even the odd but interesting Dancing with the Stars Season 11 cast campaigns (part 2 even), sometimes it’s fun to just let it all go and make up our own wish list of stars we’d love to see on the cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 11. One of the Pure DWTS readers, Travis, gave me the idea when he posted his wish list:
I Wish that…
Sarah Bolger (Spiderwick Chronicles Star)
Hilary Duff (Actress and Singer)
Matthew Gray Gubler (Actor)
Skandar Keynes (Chronicles of Narnia Star)
Anais Lameche (PLAY band Member)
Kimberly Leemans (Top Model Contestant)
Josh Peck (Film and TV Star)
Diana DeGarmo (American idol Singer)
Kimberley Locke (American Idol)
Tony Shalhoub (Cars and Monk Star)
Adam Anderson (Monster Truck Driver)
Alan Menken (Film Composer)
Michael Klim (Swimmer)
DeAnna Pappas (The Bachelor)
An interesting list. Although, like any good Dancing with the Stars list, it included a bunch of names that I didn’t recognize and needed to Google to learn about them. Personally, I’d just be happy if Faith Hill would go on Dancing with the Stars. Never going to happen, but this thread isn’t about reality. It’s about enjoying the idea. So, on that note, let’s see your list of stars you’d love to see on Dancing with the Stars Season 11.
[picappgallerysingle id=”7025644″]
Skipping season 11 lists? LOL
Of that list I’d only heard of the following 5:
Hilary Duff, Matthew Gray Gubler, Diana DeGarmo,
Kimberley Locke, Tony Shalhoub & Alan Menken.
Duff is still too hot right now, Matthew would be cool if he had decent hair, Diana would be perky and has done musical theater so there would be ringer talk, Kimberley is a DIVA, Tony could be fun, Alan know the name, but can’t picture the face.
I don’t have a list, but when I think of dream cast I think way too A list! I’ll give it some thought.
Sorry my bad. Heidi’s previous post about Cheryl being on Season 12 through me off. I get lost in all the seasons. Been doing this too many seasons I guess. I fixed it to Season 11.
Yes, almost everyone’s dream list would have A listers.
1. Kelly Rowland (singer, former member of Destiny’s Child)
2. Danica Patrick (race car driver)
3. Heather Locklear (actress)
4. Jill Zarin (Real Housewife of New York City)
5. Breanda Song (Disney Star)
6. Victoria Rowell (soap star)
7. Johnny Weir (skater)
8. Chuck Norris (tv star)
9. Landon Donovan (soccer star)
10. Taye Diggs (actor)
11. The Dream (R&B star/ producer)
Going for it.
1. Kelly & Mark
2. Danica & Tony
3. Heather & Maksim
4. Jill & Dmitry
5. Brenda & Alec
6. Victoria & Jonathon
7. Johnny & Karina
8. Chuck & Chelsie
9. Landon & Cheryl
10. Taye & Edyta
11. The Dream & Anna T.
10.
Wow Louis!! You even took care of the pairings too. Nicely done.
I’d LOVE to see Chuck Norris on the show. Can you imagine the roast if Chuck was there? Danica Patrick would be great too. I’d like that. My sisters would love for Taye to be on.
Why is it that I can never think of who I would want to see on the show? Could it be that I don’t care about what celebs are on I just want to watch and pick on it? π
I would like to see Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa on Dancing With The Stars.
One Johnny comment–he has been named to the skating Grand Prix competition in the Fall. If he’s going for 2014, he probably shouldn’t drop out so interesting to see how that could play out. This is not the same as what Evan did with Stars On Ice which was purely exhibition.
Also, Kelly Ripa said very recently she doesn’t want to be on the show because it would take away from her enjoying it every week. Though I would love to see her too:)
I also wouldn’t be surprised to see gymnast Nastia Liukin on the show. She was at the finale with Evan’s family and she tweeted the next day that she met some great people the night before. That got me thinking she wasn’t simply there to support her buddy, especially he went right to NY.
My Random Wish List:
–Alyssa Milano(Actress)
–Derek Jeter or A-Rod(baseball players)–Though this would only work with retired players due to season overlap.
–Melissa Gilbert or Alison Arngrim(Actresses, Arngrim a comedienne)
–Buddy Valastro, The Cake Boss on TLC
–Giada DeLaurentiis (Chef and based in CA)
–John Isner or Andy Roddick(Tennis Players)
–Giuliana or Bill Rancic (Reality Stars)
–Brian Boitano, Jamie Sale, Kurt Browning, Sarah Hughes(any one of them all skaters, Boitano a chef too)
–Drew Brees(Football player)
–Oprah
–Dr. Mehmet Oz
–Candace Cameron Bure(Actress)
–Chuck Norris(Yes Please!–maybe Evan could use his TotalGym connection and hook this one up)
–Josh Groban
Heidi,
I think it’s your narrowly focused interest on Derek that distracts you from other suitable stars;-)
Heather,
Did you say Oprah on Dancing with the Stars? lol…now wouldn’t that be something?
My Dream list:

Adam Garcia (Actor/Singer)
Nate Richert (Actor)
Don Johnson (Actor)
Clinton Kelly (TV Host)
Kyle Ivan Secor (Actor)

Brian Joubert (Figure Skater/Model) (I’d rather see him over Johnny any day)

Paul Hamm (Gymnast) (we haven’t had a male gymnast yet)
Seth Westcott (Snowboarder)
Blaine Wilson (Gymnast)

I’ve been keeping a wishlist for a long time now π
Heather, I remember seeing an interview during the 2008 olypmics where Nastia Liukin was saying she’d love to be on DWTS. I’d like to see her on, I’m sure she’d be really good. As for Johnny, I don’t really know. I read that he was talking to “the right people” about being on this season. I’ve seen his reality show and it gave me the impression that he’s just not that into skating anymore, but I don’t really know.
I would really surprised in Nastia did it as, she doesn’t have a whole long time before 2012, which she has claimed she is heading towards not to mention that if she heading towards London, she needs to get back in the gym as she hasn’t been in there a whole lot. If she is gunning for 2012, she needs to get back in the gym soon and work like a mad women as there are a lot of promising talent (some even from her own gym) that are going to give her a run for her money for those 6 spots…
If she were on there, I think she’s do really well at the Smooth/Standard dances but I think she, kind of like Evan have some issues with the Latin dances…
I love Nastia. I wanted her on the show and not Shawn. I wonder if the producers would go the gymnast route again though.
John,
If they do, I think it wouldn’t anybody who is in training or has said they want to go to 2012. Somebody like Shannon Miller would be amazing of they do a female. However I think they should pick a male. Paul Hamm, Blaine Wilson (The so called “Bad boy of gymnastics”), or even Bart Conner.
There has also be speculation Nadia might be asked.
I would like to see Carrie Underwood on the show.
Yeah, that’s probably it, John. Although if Derek isn’t on this season I’m sure I’ll still love watching and picking on it. π
I’ve read lots of talk about Nastia for a couple (few?) seasons now.
I don’t understand why people say “would they have another gymnast?” OR “would they have another figure skater?” Why the hell wouldn’t they, when they’ve had so many football players on? And so many pop singers? And so many actors/actresses? What makes skaters or gymnasts different than any other category?
The difference is that the other sports have a lot more people playing them and they’re played every year. We only hear about Gymnastics and ice skating every 4 years (at least most people). That’s why.
I AM REALLY FEELING GREAT THAT YOU ADDED SKANDAR KEYNES THERE.HE DESERVES TO BE IN THE SHOW.
Heidi,
John’s right. During the non-Olympic years, Figure Skating gets more coverage than Gymnastics (as in the US, gymnastics only has two or possibly three televised meets) but during the Olympics? Gymnastics and Figure skating are some of the highest priced and most watched sports.
Personally, I’d love to see more non-traditional athletes (IE: No more football players) on there, like Soccer (which in the US isn’t as popular either), a male gymnast, equestrian sports, etc. I’d also like to go back to lesser known stars like it was in the first couple seasons. They were well known stars in their time but they kind of slipped.
John,
I mentioned Oprah and Dr. Oz only because I think the show would put both of them out of their element. Particularly with Oprah, it would be interesting to see her tackle a new challenge like this. Anyway, I’m sure what the show pays would be pocket change to her anyhow;)
Katrina,
I like your list too:) Forgot to mention I would not mind seeing Taye Diggs or even Kate Walsh or Taye’s wife Idina Menzel on the show. Saw Kate Walsh in a play in NYC last week–excellent pn a live stage.
Laura wright!! She plays Carly on General Hospital. She has said many times that she would love to be on the show. Or maybe even Steve Burton who plays Jason.
No way I could make an entire dream cast list…but I would def LOVE to see another Disney star (someone I would actually be familiar with) or maybe, JUST maybe, an anime voice actor ’cause some are based in L.A. (even if I’m the only person watching whose heard of him/her)!
Snoop Dogg or Eminem?
Jay,
lol…we’d get to see their softer side.
John and Katrina –
I don’t buy it. We aren’t that far out from the winter Olympics so I don’t think it not being watched NOW would preclude them from having Johnny (at the very least) on the show. Plus, doesn’t he have a cable show or something? As for the gymnasts – how long past the summer Olympics was Shawn on? A year or more? I don’t think it’s about how many are watching – what about Natalie or Maurice Green or the volleyball chick? Being heard of, to use John’s phrase, has NEVER prevented them from putting someone on the show before. How many celebs do you guys have to google every season to figure out who they are? Half?
All I’m saying is that just because someone is a gymnast or an ice skater doesn’t mean they won’t get to be on the show because Evan and Shawn already took their spots. Heck, I think they’d be MORE inclined to put Johnny on just to ramp up the fans and to create the whole “Can Johnny do better than Evan???” Seems like their style.
I do agree with Katrina – I’d like to see more non-traditional athletes on the show too.
Certainly we could see a gymnast or ice skater. I mean if they could get Scott Hamilton, that guy’s timeless. Plus, sometimes I bet they just have to fill slots and make the cast well rounded. So, stuff can happen. However, they have a much better chance of being on the show the closer to the Olympics that it is.
Heidi,
I wasn’t say that exactly. I was saying in general, that FS and gymnastics are sports that don’t have a lot of viewership in Non-Olympic times. Only during the Olympics do their viewership goes up.
Shawn was on the spring season following the Olympics. Evan was on the season immediately after the Olympics.
I just don’t think that Nastia will do it if she’s truly serious about 2012. As for Johnny, well I won’t comment on that one π Not to mention Johnny and Evan (and their respective fans) have issues with each other so the producers might want to put him on just to see how voting would work.
I’d also love to see Kurt Browning on the show and he’s a fantastic showman, He and Scott together are so much fun to watch in a show.
BTW did you see this rumor? I fully 100% support this:
http://wagrobanite.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/heres-a-rumor-i-could-really-sink-my-teeth-into/
Plus who knows, that now that Plushenko has been stripped of his amateur status, maybe ABC will recruit him…
Yes, Johnny against Evan is a good storyline. I still give it one more season before another ice skater.
Who’s Plushenko? Just saying;-)
John,
He’s the guy that came in Second to Evan at the Olympics and threw a hissy fit and gave himself a Platinum medal instead. He felt because he attempted and landed a quad jump that he should have won. See this post at my blog: http://wagrobanite.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/bad-sportmanship/
I’d like Kari Byron. She’s a good egg.
@Heidi – He does have a cable show (documentary, rather), and it’s called “Be Good Johnny Weir”. It’s on the Sundance Channel. I find the title pleasingly ironic π
Since the show started, I have held out hope that Maurice Benard from General Hospital would do the show at some point. He’s just so…sexy. Like a modern-day Rudolph Valentino or something. He would SIZZLE in an Argentine tango. However, his character, Sonny Corinthos, is one of the most popular on GH, and he is nearly always involved in one of the main story arcs, so I don’t see him really having the time to commit to something as grueling as DWTS. But hey, Susan Lucci made it work, and her character is considered the central role on All My Children. One can only hope π
My mom and I have decided that it would be an absolute RIOT if Paula Deen from the Food Network did the show. Sure, Jonathan would probably get stuck with her (or *cringe* Corky), she wouldn’t be very good, and she probably wouldn’t last more than a few weeks. But man – that woman is downright lovable, and that southern charm just drips off of her like a good bechamel sauce! I have a feeling Len would really like her.
I think ck410 mentioned it in another thread, but we’d both love to see Nancy Wilson from Heart do the show. The woman is gorgeous and in great shape for her age, and would likely last longer than her peer (and fellow redhead ;-)) Belinda Carlisle.
Courtney,
I would absolutely hate it of Paula Dean did the show. Her accent drives me nuts. Sounds like nails on chalkboards. I don’t know what it is about hers because I can usually deal with most accents but hers drives me nuts.
I’d love to Alton Brown if we’re talking about chefs… or David Bromstad!

Plushenko? Is an asshole. π That’s the only way to put it. I would love to see Kurt Browning too, if we can’t have Scott – and I’m guessing we can’t, what with the brain surgery. Scott lives here in Nashville and did a lot of work after the flood, on telethons and stuff. Great guy. My mom lives in his home town – Bowling Green, Ohio. We’ve always loved Scott.
And Katrina, I’m so disappointed in you!! I posted that Donovan thing DAYS ago. π
Heidi,
LOL I know, I was hugely kidding about Plushy.
whops? I have been extremely busy… grad school and two jobs does that to you π
Okay, Katrina, you’re forgiven due to extreme over work. π Kick back and have a beer this weekend though.
Hah Heidi, I don’t drink beer π But I am taking a huge break this weekend, only a bit of work, no school (finished assignments early!) and babysitting a puppy π
Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast Wish List…
Girls:
Jodi Lyn O’Keefe and Tony Dovolani
Alyssa Milano and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Guys:
Enrique Iglesias and Chelsie Hightower
Dr. Mehmet Oz and Ashly Costa
Paul Hamm and Anna Trebunskaya
It’s not much…but I would really like if these people were on Dancing with the stars. π
If they’re gonna choose gymnasts, they should choose one that is considered legendary. They should consider Nadia Comaneci!! I’ve heard in an interview that she said she would love to do the show.
Louis, I agree 100% about Kelly Rowland. Absolutely love her! Sorry but I do not want to see GH stars on DWTS. Mostly because I’m a DAYS fan, and would love Nadia Bjorlin on there but she’s on NBC not ABC. What about Sarah Michelle Gellar? That’s a good one too. Can’t wait for the cast names to be released!
Megan Mullally is my choice for Makim Chmerkovskiy.
He could have a stess free season and do well after that train wreck season 10 partner that was all about the Andrews “THE HOLE” her hole!
Since the show is called “Dancing with the Stars”, how about having some “stars” who are known to people over 17. The only person I knew on the rumor list is Tony Shaloub. I didn’t even watch Season 10 because none of the stars interested me.
Sarah Bolger and Mark Ballas
Hilary Duff and Derek Hough
Matthew Gray Gubler and Ashly Costa
Skandar Keynes and Lacey Schwimmer
Anais Lameche and Damian Whitewood
Kimberly Leemans and Dmitry Chaplin
Josh Peck and Julianne Hough
Diana DeGarmo and Tony Dovolani
Kimberley Locke and Alec Mazo
Tony Shalhoub and Kym Johnson
Adam Anderson and Cheryl Burke
Alan Menken and Karina Smirnoff
Michael Klim and Edyta Sliwinska
DeAnna Pappas and Fabian Sanchez
You know, reading all these suggestions and pairings helps me realize how hard it is to cast this show. They must be working on people for several months and coordinating schedules. Plus they want people that will attract viewers and stir the pot and be easily recognized. No small task.
I would like to see
Wish List:
Guys:
Tony Danza
Billie Joe Armstrong
Chuck Norris
David Schwimmer
Reggie Bush
Shaun White
Girls:
Tia Mowery
Hilary Duff
Anjelah Johnson
Jodi Benson
Lori Loughlin
Jaimee Foxworth
Which would be the lesser of 2 evils for Disney: Plushenko or Weir? LOL I hadn’t thought of Plushenko but ABC could spin a ratings case either way. I also wonder if one of the tv magazines has signed Evan to be a correspondent for Season 11. Wouldn’t that be fun to watch if he had to interview one of these 2 on a weekly basis?
BTW, I’m a huge DAYS fan too and could name a number of actors from there I’d like to see though I don’t think it will happen due to them being on NBC. Unless they bring on someone currently not on the show like Deidre Hall who has a book coming out now too.
Sorry not sure if this was posted already–meant to post last week:
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/06/29/johnny-weir-closet-confessions-dancing-with-the-stars/
I would like to see singer Cheryl Cole and Internet Sensation Matt Vickers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CMCf_3Xk9w)
Only one person I would LOVE to see on DWTS and thats MARTHA BYRNE!..she would be fantastic on the show! π
i would love to see reba mcintair and leann rimes on dancing with the stars season 11
what about the rest of the kardashian family on dancing with the stars season 11
I would love to see a guy from General Hospital. Maurice, Steve, Brandon, any of them would be great eye candy. DWTS season 1 was won by a female GH star, so why not try a male? They film in LA so commuting wouldn’t be an issue like it was with the AMC stars.
I would also like to see:
Lori Loughlin
Alyssa Milano
Candace Cameron Bure
Giada De Laurentiis
Amy Matthews (DIY Network)
Faith Hill
Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks)
Bobby Flay
Carter Oosterhouse
Landon Donovan
Mark Consuelos
Tony Shahloub
Patrick Monahan (Train)
Dr Dre
@ Gaby – I agree with Leann Rimes, she would be great. I do NOT agree on any Kardashian though. EW! I think I would change the channel, they annoy me so much.
I hope they can do Movie Week on Season 11
I Love Movie Week
what about donald trump on dancing with the stars season 11
please honor my mom gracein a second tribute with a montage of anrew llyod weber’s music on dwts season 11
here’s my eleven for season 11
1 Captain Sig Hansen ( Capt. of the F/V Northwestern and reality show star)
2 Kobe (o wait maybe not he’s a laker) well replace him with Kevin Garnett
3 Lebron James

7 Gretchen Blieler ( US Snowboarder)
8 Kiera Knightly (actress)
9 Michael Jordan ( do i really)
10 BIG PAPPI (David Ortiz) (MLB player)

Jennifer Gray, Ricky Carmichael (MX), Joe Montana, some country singer, Peggy Fleming, anyone from the George Lopex show.
i’ve been saying faith hill ever since the show started. although, i think reba would be good too.
I would be so happy if Faith Hill was on the show. Sadly, I don’t think she ever will, but I adore Faith Hill.
i think these contestants would be ideal, cuz there right about the stage in there career where DWTS is suitable…
1. Danielle Staub (housewives of NJ)
2. Chris Brown (singer)
3. Ricky Martin (singer)
4. Pauly D (Reality “star”)
5. Katey Sagal (Tv star)
6. Omarion ( singer)
7. Andy Roddick (Tennis player)
8. Alanis Morisette
9. Vanessa Williams
10. Tori Spelling
I would love to see Kelly Rippa and Jennie Finch (who just announced she is retiring from softball).
Chuck Norris would be cool!
I think that would be if htey could get people from other sports. I just now saw someone said Adam Anderson. I think a monster truck driver would be cool to watch. We love monster jam in this house. Just like Ty brought bull riding to the dance floor monster jam isn’t a common thing for MOST sports fans.
Jeffrey Leonard would be wonderful on the show. How about a Hacman? I’d like to see him try his moves dancing.
Hmmm. My ideas that would crack me up:
Men
Carter Oosterhouse (Nautica model/home improvement show personality)
The Really Hot Old Spice Model on Those Funny Ads
Bobby Flay (chef)
Dale Jarrett (retired NASCAR driver)
Larry Joe Campbell (According to Jim)
David Faustino (Married With Children)
Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness)
Landon Donovan (soccer player)
Rondell Sheridan (That’s So Raven)
Women
Kari Byron (Mythbusters)
Kristen Johnston (Third Rock from the Sun)
America Ferrera (Ugly Betty)
Hillary Duff (actor/singer)
Kimora Lee Simmons (designer)
Adrianne Curry (TV and radio personality/model)
Da Brat (rapper)
1. Taylor Swift (Country pop star)
2. Buddy Velastro
3. Jerry Trainor
I don’t care too much who the others are. I just wasnt to see these three, though I really don’t think they’ll ever get on the show. XD
