Some gossip queen associated with Vera Wang let it slip that the designer has signed on for Dancing With the Stars‘ season 9 (yes, really) cast. Neither ABC nor Wang’s camp are commenting, but if it is true, I can’t wait to hear what Vera has to say about the show’s ridiculous costumes. I fear she might quit after realizing you’re required to wear 27 layers of makeup on show nights. Meanwhile, I’ve put on my feathered DWTS Thinking Cap. Brace yourselves for…
ANNIE’S ULTIMATE BARBIE DREAM HOUSE ‘DWTS’ CAST!
The Enormous Athlete: Michael Jordan. To be partnered with tall new pro Anna Demidova. Duh. I could wear a different XXXXL early ’90s Chicago Bulls tee for each episode. Because that’s what watching this show is all about. What I’m wearing.
The Cutie Pie Olympian: Matthew Mitcham. I don’t care if he’s Australian. If Australia doesn’t want him on its own DWTS, we’ll take him here. (And this way, the Olympian won’t win!)
The Woman of a Certain Age: Jessica Walter. They could play “Misty” for her, and TV’s Lucille Bluth could tell her partner, “I don’t understand the steps, and I won’t perform them.”
The Old Guy: Richard Jenkins. He almost won an Oscar! Crappy reality TV should clearly be his next move.
The Comedian: Neil Flynn, the janitor from Scrubs. So charming in person, and his deadpan delivery would kill in such a ridiculous setting.
The Actor Who Isn’t Doing Much These Days: Danica McKellar, a.k.a. The Wonder Years‘ Winnie Cooper. Her brief West Wing run wasn’t nearly enough.
The Diva: Annie Lennox. Just because I love her and she’d never do it. Or Vanity! What Would Jesus Do? Put on something sequined. Oh yes He would.
And just for the hell of it: Daphne Zuniga, Emmanuel Lewis, Bruce Jenner or any of the featured players on menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com, and any of the Designing Women, including Meshach Taylor.
What about you, DANCMSTRs — who would be in your ultimate cast?

Danica McKellar is actually a mathematician, which is amazing. So she has been doing “something” all these years.
What about Bill Cosby? Cliff Huxtable could move, so I’d expect decent things out that old guy. Or what about any of the dead characters on LOST (Boone, Shannon, Charlie, Daniel, Charlotte, Eko, Ana Lucia, Libby, etc. – just not Niki or Paolo)? Or maybe Nicolette Sheridan, now that she’s no longer a Desperate Housewife? As for the Olympian – Michelle Kwan. Male athlete – Andre Agassi.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Mayim Bialik hot (well, lukewarm) off her apperance on “What Not to Wear” last month.
Brian Boitano, Tori Spelling, Lynda Carter, Brooke Shields, Kyle Schmid, Claire Danes, Kerri Russell, Scott Speedsman, Scott Baio, Alyssa Milano, Michelle Kwan, Mary Lou Retton, Nastya Liukin, Sarah Jessica Parker,Paris Hilton, Ellen Degeneres……
Blossom!
I want to see Ann-Margret on there!!
I would love to see Ann-Margret on there next season!
What’s Gabby Hayes up to these days?

>And this way, the Olympian won’t win!<
And what exactly are you basing this assumption on? You have no way of knowing if Matthew Mitcham can dance or not. Are you insinuating that because he is openly gay, he can't win in America?
Oh, Neil Flynn would be so much fun! I’d love to see him on the show. And I like the suggestion of Alyssa Milano (you can call her the former child star or the “hottie of a certain age”). How about Tony Danza and Judith Light to complete the set? Tony Danza could actually be a dark horse that could do very well because of his stage background. And Judith Light would get bonus points for a nice bit of ABC cross promotion.
I’d love to see Jessica Walter on the show just so she could say your “I don’t understand the steps, and I won’t perform them” line!
I think your choices are all pretty dang good. I would DIE if MJ joined. DIE. I would also like to see at least one old cast member from Full House and/or Saved By The Bell. Come on, John, you sexy beast! ER is over, you have plenty of time to wow us on DWTS. Right???
i’d love rue mclanahan to lace up her dancing shoes, that’d be great! betty white would be great too, but she’s still doing movies, so she probably wouldn’t be up for it.
