Breaking: Bobby Flay Will Not Dance With the Stars

Last night Hollwood Life reported that chef Bobby Flay had joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars season 16, but apparently the information was incorrect. Zagat breaks the crushing news via an interview with Flay that he will not appear on the show. Flay said that he didn't want to "be known as that guy on Dancing with the Stars." Also probably a better reason: "My wife told me that she would divorce me if I did it." Flay has a fledgling acting career on television, what with his appearances on Portlandia and Entourage, and don't forget about his daytime talk show with Food Networkperson Giada de Laurentiis still in the works.
