"Joel McHale&amp;#039;s representative has reportedly dismissed the suggestion that he was approached for Dancing With The Stars.  A source had recently named the Soup star as one of the celebrities who had been asked to participate on the new season of the ABC dancing contest.  However, his representative has told E! Online&amp;#039;s Marc Malkin that it is &amp;quot;100% false that he was offered a spot on this year&amp;#039;s show&amp;quot;.  Other celebrities who were alleged to have been unsuccessfully approached included Sylvester Stallone, Condoleezza Rice, Richard Branson, Drew Carey, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and Kirstie Alley.  The website also reports that Tim Allen&amp;#039;s spokesperson has denied the suggestion that he was asked to be on the show, while a representative for Suzanne Somers confirmed that she had been approached but was currently &amp;quot;too busy&amp;quot; to take part.  The official cast for the 11th instalment was unveiled in a live press conference on Monday night and includes famous faces like Bristol Palin, David Hasselhoff and Jersey Shore star Mike &amp;#039;The Situation&amp;#039; Sorrentino.  Dancing With The Stars premieres September 20 on ABC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
