Reader, I'm sure Donny meant NEXT next season... as in not this one but if he says it enough to the press, the producers might forget they didn't actually ask him and put him on anyway. ;-)

From that link above


quote:

The cast for the eighth season of Dancing With The Stars has been revealed. While some of the cast members were as rumored, many of the names come as a surprise. In a Dancing With The Stars first, there will be three real life couples involved in Dancing With The Stars 8, although it appears as if only one of the couples will actually be dancing together. Also new for this season, the bottom two couples will take part in a “dance off” to determine who is eliminated during the first weeks of competition.


Among the thirteen stars competing on Dancing With The Stars 8 are the youngest participant yet, another NFL legend, several music artists, and a computer icon. One real life couple will be dancing together as rising country star Chuck Wicks will dance with his girlfriend and professional dancer Julianne Hough. The married celebrity couple of Ty Murray and Jewel will also be participating in the show, but they apparently are not dancing together. In addition, professional dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are engaged, and both will be competing in the show with their celebrity dance partners.

The thirteen stars taking part in Dancing With The Stars 8 are singer Belinda Carlisle, comedian and actor David Alan Grier, singer/songwriter Jewel, Olympic athlete Shawn Johnson, singer and actress Lil’ Kim, actor Gilles Marini, rodeo cowboy Ty Murray, comedian and actor Steve-O, entertainment anchor Nancy O’Dell, actress Denise Richards, NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, country singer Chuck Wicks, and computer icon Steve Wozniak.

In looking at this, I see that for the first time in at least a few years, there is no one from an ABC soap listed.

Starting to get excited about the new season. The program hugely entertains me no matter who the 'celebs' are.

I like David Alan Grier too. Hope he sincerely tries to dance unlike some other comedians from past seasons. I think he will...and may be at least reasonably good.

And how 'bout the three guys from "Whose Line Is It it Any Way?" -- Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles, and Colin Mochrie future seasons?

Colour, that's a brilliant idea, LOVED that improv show and am especially a huge Wayne Brady fan.

OG, I feel the same way about the show. For instance While I basically loathe Jerry Springer, he was VERY endearing on DWTS.

Woz will probably be first out, hope he is paired with Karina

I love David, In Living Color is still my fav sketch show of all time.

I honestly believed Donny Osmond when he announced he was going to be on the show during his Bonnie Hunt interview.

I like Woz. He was charming on Kathy Griffin's show.

So, Ty and Jewell are married, Julie Ann and Chuck are dating. Who is the 3rd real life couple?

yes.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Woz on Kat's show also. He seems game for anything but he doesn't look too light on his feet. Although neither did some of the football players and look how great they did!

ok, so I wont wish Karina on him :-) Honestly, she is the kiss of death for a contestant on this show

Unless Woz has been secretly playing team sports on the weekends, he's at a disadvatage compared to most athletes, even large ones, but we will see.

I could handle Karina going first.

So happy Julianne will be participating. She just lights up the place for me.

What was that sport he played on Kathy Griffin show? Was it polo? done on those Segway motorized scooters? I still think Woz will be fun!

Best news is that we don't have to do without Julianne Hough...the show just wouldn't be the same without her!

I'll bet Julianne's contract reads a whole lot different than the other pros. $$$$$$wise.

I heard on this morning, local radio station Y100 (country station - Green Bay WI), is in Mexico this week, with Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks. They had Julianne and Chuck on the radio station this morning and Julianne and Chuck are practicing already - started yesterday, and that it sounds like she is going to take this fall season off from DWTS. The reason why she is doing this spring season is because she was able to be partnered with Chuck and they can practice the dances, but also continue to tour.

While I didn't see the Bonnie Hunt show, every interview I saw Donny give about this had him saying that he would be appearing next season, not this one.
