Bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, one of the stars rumored to be hitting the dance floor next for the ninth season of ABC’s Dancing With The F-Listers, is disappointed he was snubbed by show producers, RadarOnline.com has learned.

“They never even had the class to give Lou a call and tell him that he was not going to be chosen,” Lou’s furious wife Carla fumes. “This is the second time they haven’t selected him, but it will be the last,” she told Radar on Thursday.
(You know your career has hit an all-time low when you’re disappointed that you weren’t selected to join a cast of has-beens on a television reality series. Come on, Lou! This is actually a good thing.)
“We couldn’t believe some of the people they picked and Lou was more surprised than upset that he wasn’t chosen because we know he would have been great,” Carla scoffed. “I mean Tom Delay, a corrupt politician, a skateboarder (Louie Vito) who nobody has ever heard of and what exactly has Ashley Hamilton ever done?”
