Celebrities who didn’t appear on Dancing with the Stars.

Suffering from a career slump, Sylvester Stallone wanted to be on the show…until The Expendables (2010) restored his movie star status.
Ann Romney
In 2012, after Mitt Romney lost the presidential election, his wife Ann was offered a spot. She “seriously considered it,” but declined.
Jewel
Pop singer Jewel quit during rehearsals after fracturing bones in both of her legs.
Jennifer Aniston
Number-one fan request? Jennifer Aniston. But she’s not interested.
