My personal wish list, in no particular order, knowing full well that most are totally outside reality:
William Shatner
Celine Dion
Bob Saget
Picabo Street
Rebecca Black
Either of the Olsen twins
Cher
Zoltan Mesko (NE Patriots punter with interesting back story in revolutionary Romania)
Damien Kulash (Ok Go frontman. Alternatively Tim Nordwind, arguably their most recognizable member)
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Elin Nordgren
One of the moms from Dance Moms

Apparently, JR Martinez suggested to Tebow that he should participate. Tebow told him "not this season", a sentiment which has been echoed by the Broncos organization. Cheryl Burke has also suggested that she would be amenable to partnering with him, though she really wants Victor Cruz.

YES YES YES PLEASE YES!
Aiiiieee...you realize that means not only would we have to hear the Titanic song, we'd have to watch her try to concentrate on dancing while the band butchers it. (I can never decide, rumba or bolero?)
Wait...maybe they'd do the paso doble version! For the lolz.
....You're trying to kill me, aren't you.
William Shatner?!? :shock: Ye gods! Although I have to admit he'd probably bring a campy kind of humor to the table. And he'd probably survive more than a few votes, even if his dancing was horrible. And based on his ... ahem ... recording career, it's clear the man has no shame, which is a darn good thing in a DWTS contestant, IMO. :lol:

She was on the show a few years ago singing and said she'd want to do it if she could... I'm always up for seeing who can bring something to the table! I'm not sure I can remember them ever covering an artist's own song for their dance, for what it's worth.
Oh, and there's this...

Some of them were dancers in the past.. who knows, they might actually be kinda good and leave us with all sorts of conflicted feelings
Besides, then the kids would inevitably have a chance to come in and give 'critiques.' If the producers were feeling really cruel, they'd put Louis Van Amstel with one of them. He has been vocal on twitter about his opposition to Abby Lee's style. Then again, I imagine most would be...

Last season, what's-her-name Tony's girl. Chynna? I think half her problem with their sob-story week number was trying to dance while the singers slaughtered a song she wrote and performed specifically from a deep emotional place. Plus she undoubtedly KNEW that song really well

See, I don't have a problem with Abby (and I bet most of the Eastern European pros would at most just object to her drama-for-the-camera decisions, not the harshness. You kind of have to be hard on kids if you're pushing them for a serious competitive or professional career. You don't spend that kind of money on an activity for fun. I've even said myself in riding, George Morris can be an @$$ but I would listen to what he told me no matter how blunt he was. And he would have DESTROYED me when I was a riding kid.) It says a lot to me the GIRLS don't really object to Abby as much as to their mothers. (Brooke's apology and request to come back this week was INFINITELY more mature than anything any of the moms has ever done or said. No wonder Abby was basically "Sure." Side note: Looking at Brooke's weight and loss of flex I would guess that was more than two weeks off.)
But some of the moms need a beating. Nia's mom is a smug beyotch who thinks she's SO much better than everyone else, Chloe's mother is a shrill loon, Melissa is so passive-aggressive, what's-her-face Brooke and Paige's mother is the worst-case example of "If you hate Abby so much and feel you're so ill-used, WHY ARE YOU STILL THERE?" And new woman Jill is out of her mind. I cannot blame Abby in the least for yanking her chain.
Besides, put a Dance Mom on and you KNOW Cathy would drag her Candy Apples crowd in just to boo. (Now, THERE is an abusive teacher. CPS needs to take Vivi away. That poor child has no talent for it and CLEARLY zero interest in the whole business. Imagine getting adopted as a human puppet.)
And I have zero delusions William Shatner would be a great dancer, but he has developed both a real self-awareness of what a jerk he used to be (despite Nichele Nichols and the late Jimmy Doohan not accepting the apology) and he's demonstrated he's infinitely willing to poke fun at himself and his image. And there's a lovely slow-waltz arrangement of the Star Trek theme by Alexander Courage they could use...

slight side-track - where is this slow waltz arrangement of the star trek theme? Because I am an avowed trekkie...googling so far has just led me to the theme, unless i am missing something (which is probably the case).

Unfortunately I don't have any name/title on it--got it off the studio computer at Shag and the file name is just like "Track 3" or something with no album information. But I've even heard it at comps so it must be on an album somewhere. (And it may be BG/second melody from the Goldsmith theme...it's NOT either "main title" but it's like the...middle section.)
Come to think, it must be Goldsmith because thinking through it, it has the chord progression into the main theme, though it doesn't pick it up...so try "The Motion Picture"

Thanks, I'll dig around... I really need to get working though. blech.
And you never can tell, he might be a decent dancer. Notice I said decent, not great.
