'Dancing With the Stars' Season 11 Cast Wish List

Sorry, you won't find Betty White on this list. As much as I love the lady, her appearance on 'Dancing' would just be a novelty. It's clear she wouldn't be the best dancer and as much as the show is a popularity contest, it's also a dance competition.

However, there are plenty of other stars who could waltz across the dance floor. This past season was the best in terms of celebrity talent. Where else could you see tabloid fodder like Kate Gosselin and Pamela Anderson dance along with American heroes like Buzz Aldrin and Evan Lysacek?

Next season's cast will have to be bigger and better. How can 'Dancing' do that? They have to take the same recipe as this season, but multiply by 10. Here's my dream cast for the new season complete with silly -- sometimes mocking -- titles the show always gives the stars.

Bonnie Hunt - The Funny Girl
Now that her talk show is over, Hunt would be great on 'Dancing.' She'd bring the humor like Niecy Nash did in season 10 and the amount of fan campaigning to save her talk show indicates she certainly has a fan base and recognition to make it far in the competition. Hunt is incredibly likable and in need of the right vehicle, 'Dancing With the Stars' would be a great fit.

Jorge Garcia - The Fan-Favorite Castaway
I could certainly see ABC putting a castaway from 'Lost' on the show to continue the buzz since the epic series finale. Garcia is a fan-favorite on 'Lost,' he could bring in a different audience and certainly charm the 'Dancing' audience.

Heidi Montag Pratt - The Plastic Princess
Kate Gosselin, another constant tabloid target, did wonders for the ratings and media coverage of 'Dancing,' Montag would do the same. There's no doubt that Montag would amp up the drama both on and off set, plus I'd rather see her on here instead of on her own reality show now that 'The Hills' is over.

Michael Jordan - The Hoops King
This basketball legend certainly still has the star power and name recognition to get people to tune in and see him bust a move. 'Dancing' producers and the audience love their sports stars. Jordan would be a huge hit.

Ramona Singer - The Bodacious Housewife
While not as notable as many on this list, after watching her walk a fashion runway on 'Real Housewives of New York City,' I'd love to see Singer strut her stuff around the dance floor. Think of those eyes. Singer also lacks a filter, she'd be talking back and stirring up trouble no matter the celebrity caliber of the others around her.

Mary Tyler Moore - America's Sweetheart
Moore has been in projects here and there lately, but 'Dancing' would give her a nice popularity surge. She's still America's sweetheart and it'd be nice to send Moore some of that love her 'Mary Tyler Moore Show' co-star Betty White has been getting. I mean, come on, she can turn the world on with her smile, she'd be dynamite on 'Dancing.'

Jason Alexander - Everybody's Best Friend
After failed attempts at sitcoms, Alexander is now making the rounds on entertainment news shows because of his weight-loss. 'Dancing' would be a good vehicle for this 'Seinfeld' alumnus to get back some of the limelight he so desires.

Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger - American's Favorite Captain
Sully has the American hero angle down pat. While not an actor, comedian or sports star, Sully became a celebrity when he landed that plane safely on the Hudson River. He's certainly well-liked and the 'Dancing' audience loves American heroes.

Kirstie Alley - The Fat Actress
It seems there's no stopping Alley. From her A&E reality series to the tabloids and her controversial talk show appearances and claims, 'Dancing' is the next logical stop. Niecy Nash proved that ladies can work their "jiggly" parts on the show, but is Alley up for the challenge?

Ricky Martin - The Latin Heat
Fresh off his public sexuality reveal, Martin is in high demand. He's reportedly been offered $1 million to do gay porn, but has stayed out of the spotlight since his brief media storm. I've argued that ringers shouldn't be on the show, but I doubt 'DWTS' will change policy. Pop stars do well on the show and Martin is poised for a comeback.

Raven-Symoné - The Tween Idol
Raven has a pretty wide appeal when it comes to an audience. She's widely known to tweens thanks to her Disney projects 'That's So Raven' and 'Cheetah Girls,' but older folks remember her from her days on 'The Cosby Show.' Plus, she's a musician, giving her a different fan base. If all of her fans united, she could go far in the competition.

Lindsay Lohan - The Party Girl
Lohan would be a HUGE get for 'DWTS.' But, would she actually do it? Who knows? That girl has made a lot of weird decisions in her career, but if 'DWTS' helps her get her act together and win back some fans then she should totally do it. Who am I kidding, she'd go on this show and be a train wreck. I'm not sure if her SCRAM bracelet can get sequins put on it.

People I don't want to see:
Paula Abdul: Yes, she'd be fun to watch, but she has professional dance experience. Nicole Scherzinger has gotten a lot of flack for her past experience and Paula has more. No more ringers!
Betty White: Leave White to making wisecracks, not doing the samba.
Spencer Pratt: He is far too toxic. His wife, Heidi, has a much better chance.
Kathy Griffin: While she is hilarious, Griffin probably wouldn't fit well with the majority of the 'Dancing' audience. It's best if she is left to her own starring vehicle.
Jon Gosselin: While it does come close, Ed Hardy apparel just doesn't have enough sequins.
Kate Gosselin: ... oh, wait.
