Apparently, it's "Dancing with the Stars" speculation season . . . once again.
It kicked off yesterday, with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback TROY AIKMAN telling the paparazzi that he'll be on the show, quote, "next year."
You can watch his BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, here . . .

Naturally, the entertainment gossip media FREAKED OUT over this.
But is it true? Probably not. To me, it does appear that he's just jerking the paparazzi around. And later, on Twitter, Troy said, quote, "I will not be on 'DWTS' . . . it interferes with 'American Idol' auditions."
Meanwhile, TMZ says that MIKE SORRENTINO . . . a.k.a. "THE SITUATION" from "Jersey Shore" . . . is in talks to do "Dancing", but The Situation's manager says it isn't happening. As usual, ABC isn't commenting on any of this.
PRESIDENT OBAMA DOESN'T KNOW WHO SNOOKI IS
PRESIDENT OBAMA made his bizarre appearance on "The View" yesterday, and during the interview . . . the ladies asked him a lot of hard-hitting questions.
His most CRUCIAL answers came during a so-called "lightning round," in which JOY BEHAR asked him about various celebrities. Here's a summary of how it went:
When asked if he knew LINDSAY LOHAN was in jail . . . Obama said, quote, "I actually know that, yes."
When asked if MEL GIBSON needs anger management . . . Obama said, quote, "I . . . I . . . Let me answer the Afghanistan question!"
Then he added, quote, "I haven't seen a Mel Gibson movie in a while."
And when asked if Snooki should run for mayor of Wasilla . . . Obama said, quote, "I gotta admit, I don't know who Snooki is."
Obama also revealed that he has JAY-Z, FRANK SINATRA and MARIA CALLAS on his iPod . . . but no JUSTIN BIEBER. Although, he did add that he's met Justin . . . and referred to him as, quote, "a very nice young man."
Here's video . . .

DREW CAREY IS OK WITH BOB BARKER'S COMMENTS
DREW CAREY doesn't mind that BOB BARKER essentially said that Drew doesn't make "The Price as Right" as exciting as he did.
Drew says, quote, "Bob Barker is great . . . he's allowed to say what he wants. I don't think he really meant it. Yeah, I love Bob Barker. He can say whatever he wants, he's Bob Barker."
By the way, if you haven't noticed, Drew has lost 70 POUNDS over the past six months or so on a strict no-carb diet.
