It’s unclear if “Dancing with the Stars” will air in the fall, but if it does, Bruno Tonioli hopes Season 29 will get a royal addition.
The judge told “Extra” that his dream contestant is “obviously” Meghan Markle. “She’d be great!” he exclaimed (watch above). “It’d make her look accessible and funny, and it’d be brilliant. Meghan, if you’re watching this, please! We’d love you to do it.”
The Duchess of Sussex does have some experience with unscripted TV: She got her started as a suitcase model on “Deal or No Deal.” But doing “Dancing” may be a bridge too far and too much of a commitment from the “Suits” alum, who has relocated to Los Angeles after she and Prince Harry announced they were stepping back as senior members of the royal family in January. Markle has since narrated the Disney+ nature documentary “Elephant,...

“Dancing with the Stars” won’t return for another nine months, but you can bet the show is already looking at celebrities to lock down for Season 29, including, potentially, another political lightning rod (sigh) and the one that got away this year, Charlie Sheen.
The actor revealed in September that he turned down a spot on Season 28 because he didn’t think he could dance, but Rob Mills, ABC Entertainment’s senior VP of alternative series, specials and late-night programming, isn’t giving up that easily.
“I don’t think it’s a huge secret because he came out and talked about it, but I would still love Charlie Sheen to come on,” Mills told our sister site “Variety.” “I found him to be one of the nicest, most charming people. He is just a born entertainer and I think people would love to see him, but it may not be for him.

The next season of “Dancing With the Stars” won’t premiere until fall 2020, but ABC is already having preliminary conversations about which celebrities they’d like to recruit for Season 29 — and Charlie Sheen is at the top of the list, Variety has learned exclusively.
Sheen recently revealed that he had been given a firm offer to join the last season of “Dancing With the Stars,” but he turned down ABC’s request to participate in Season 28 because he was too afraid to dance. But Variety has learned that ABC still very much has an eye on Sheen for Season 29.
“We’ve met with Charlie Sheen,” said Rob Mills, ABC Entertainment’s senior VP of alternative series, specials and late-night programming, confirms to Variety. “I don’t think it’s a huge secret because he came out and talked about it, but I would still love Charlie Sheen to come on.
