Melissa Joan Hart, who is best known for her role as Sabrina on *Sabrina the Teenage Witch*, said that she was rejected by ABC in her attempt to be cast on *Dancing with the Stars*.  
  
The actress said as much in a tear-filled interview on "Valentine in the Morning" show. She went on to say, according to TMZ, who has the entire interview on their Web site, that she has been rejected for every season of the hit reality show.  
  
She sobs for a while, and then says that she even had the all-powerful Mario Lopez (who took second place in the second season - to Emmitt Smith) lobby for her to be cast, and she still couldn't get on.  
  
With this being said, there's a new contest in the fall and spring, and because the show's ratings are so high, one would have to figure that the odds that Hart is eventually cast must be high.  
  
Or, then again, maybe not.
