The cast list for the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars has been revealed and we can safely admit that we weren’t impressed in the slightest. ABC said that they were going after big named celebrities, yet the most known celeb on the list is David Arquette.

Rumors were swirling across the internet that Queen Latifah was set to sign up for the dancing competition, which was something she denied. Now, HollywoodLife reports the reason why. According to them, she felt that she was “too big of a star” to compete for the mirror ball trophy!

Usually, D-list celebrities appear on the show to boost their acting careers and status in the media. Queen Latifah was already a bigger star than any they’ve had appear on the show, so perhaps it’s really beneath her to do it.

An insider said, “She thought it would be a career downturn. She didn’t believe she needs it, even though she is a fan of the show.”

I agree, she doesn’t need the show at all….but I can’t deny that it would’ve made it fun to watch. Queen Latifah is a funny lady. At least with her, it would’ve been entertaining…Don’t you think?
