Not so fast, Donny Osmond is now saying about his jumping into line on Dancing with the Stars.

"I'm definitely not doing this upcoming season," the former teen idol, 51, tells Entertainment Tonight. "If there was an offer on the table, I'd do it in the fall. I would make room for it. Absolutely!"

Goaded by his sister Marie when the two appeared on The Bonnie Hunt Show earlier this week, Donnie "let the cat out of the bag" by saying he'd gladly follow her lead and join the ABC competition.
