thefiresidepost.com is officially one site that can make recommendations on major entertainment and political personnel.  Here is our recommendation for the 2010 Dancing with the Stars roster.

Dancing With The Stars is an entertaining program.  People from other professions – generally known at least in pop culture if not for professional achievement, are asked to perform several ball room dances with coaching from professional dancers.  Some of the participants are retired from sports, or have ended a former television series.  Most have some notoriety for some achievement in their chosen undertaking. The 2009 season is winding down and they are planning for 2010 – we have some recommendations.

We don’t remember how many contestants start the show – so we have decided on twelve for starters.  We will choose six women and six men.  We have tried to mix professions.  We have tried to find folks who would be a draw to the show.  We have tried to find people who understand either competition or entertainment.  So here we go:

At the top of our list is Michelle Obama – the First Lady of the United States.  Check her our on the Ellen Show:

Women:

Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay on the television series Friends) – Ms Kudrow would certainly be entertaining.  She has a large following and would attract new viewers to the show.

Heather Locklear – whoop -de-dooo.  This lady has made several characters come to life on television.  We think her acting skills and graceful manner would give her a chance.

Ann Curry – The Today Show color commentator and all around NBC go-to-guy.  She has done comedy while researching a story about stand up comedians.  She pulled it off – we think she would be an audience draw.

Oprah – Now we are talking fire-power.  And Oprah might just surprise everyone on the dance floor.  This would be a great challenge for the lady of day time talk.

Chris Everett – Retired Tennis champion and wife of golfer Greg Norman.  Chris is a known competitor and would challenge the group to the most arduous work ethic.  We have no idea if she can dance.

Sarah Jessica Parker – What a hottie, this lady has been around on the big screen and brought life to Sex and the City.  Watching her dance would be a joy for anyone.

Men:

Emeril Lagasse – BAM, this guy can be funny and we suspect he has an inner elegance which might flair on a well done dancing program.  He might compare his dancing to some elegant meal – hmmm, what might that be?

Sergio Garcia – An in-his-prime golfer.  Sergio would have to miss the beginning of golf season, including the Masters – but hey, we want to see him dance.  (We have a alternative Golfer solution – Tom Watson, he is a great sport and a great competitor).

Bo Jackson – Retired from professional football and baseball because of hip injuries.  Jackson may be the best athlete we have ever watched – too bad his career was cut short.

Jon Bon Jovi – The singer of years past is not past his prime.  Bon Jovi has demonstrated his come back potential on more than one occasion.

Larry the Cable Guy – Stand up comedian and an anchor on Blue Collar Comedy Tour.  This guy would draw a crowd and people would call in to the show to participate in his antics.  I don’t care what you say – that right there is funny.

Keiffer Sutherland – aka Jack Bauer.  He can’t dance but who is going to look him in the eye and give him less than a 10?  Keiffer would be a great draw – and would be competing with ’24.’

This is important stuff folks.  We normally write about politics on slow entertainment days.  So readers, jump in with comments – who would you pick?
