"I would consider it," the great actor tells Time magazine. "All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on Dancing with the Stars mainly because I would be too shy." That and the fact that he'd be put in the Jerry Springer/John Ratzenberger old man role.

Closer to reality, we know that one celebrity is confirmed as a contestant and at least one other has-been wants on when the show kicks up again in September.
Former Scary Spice Girl and Eddie Murphy paternity-accuser Melanie Brown is said to be after the Heather Mills spot on the show, and former Beverly Hills 90210 sweetie Jenny Garth has been confirmed as a contestant, having gotten the bug from her former costar and last season favorite Ian Ziering.
No official word from ABC, though, until about four weeks before the next season.
