Keith Richards, Others, Ready to Tango on Dancing With the Stars?

Secret meetings between Keith Richards and Dancing With the Stars producers were held on the S.S. Bailar Con El Diablo, a private luxury yacht, in early November, according to DWS location manager Bill Bailey. "I just happened to enter the vessel's conference room and there was our producer and Keith dancing a jig. The producers are always looking for dancers that will appeal to key demographics and Keith while appealing primarily to our Oldsmobile audience will also have the Ipod users in the crosshairs."
The meetings with potential DWS dancers have come more vigorously as more episodes are in development as possible replacement programming due to the Hollywood Writer's Strike. "We have been looking for more stars and more exotic locales," said Bailey. Other notable candidates include Monk star Tony Shalub, country queen Dolly Parton, former View co-host Star Jones, former wrestler Hulk Hogan, actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Former Charlie's Angels actress Jaclyn Smith spoke to DWS producers at the Emmys where she had earlier brought down the house when she reunited with her former co-angels Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
An earlier meeting with pop sensation Amy Winehouse was interrupted when the singer excused herself to retrieve an estranged handbag and never returned.
