allegedly, the producers are really trying to get Lohan to be on the next DWTS. If she's out of rehab by then, she'd be ideal. She's broke. She was scheduled to star in the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic but was fired because the producers couldn't get insurance on her: that must have been hard to swallow! She'll draw eyes because people will want to see what now well someone dances when hung over.

Apparently she's actually quite a good dancer, but I really don't think she's ready for the show. It's total immersion and I can't imagine her body or mind is up to it. And what if she loves it and is booted week two or something? How will she take the rejection?

The producers need to leave her alone for her own sake... maybe in a year or two it will be different.

This is a blind gossip item from... Blind Gossip. Got to be the Lohans... sounds like Dina wanted to go on and Michael pushed for it to be Lindsay instead. If it's true, of course.

"We've talked about the strategy of casting reality shows before, and we've got another story for you. A certain Star's Parent 1 wanted to do a reality show. Frankly, the only reason any producer would be remotely interested in Parent 1 is because they share the last name of the Star.

Well, Star's Parent 2 found out about this, and quickly convinced the Star that Parent 1 is being incredibly selfish, and that it would be much smarter for the Star themselves to do a reality show—without Parent 1—to bolster their own popularity (which has admittedly waned over the years). Parent 2′s argument is that if a big audience really gets to know the Star as intelligent, likable, dedicated and serious about their career, it will be much easier for Star to get back on track toward being famous for their talent, rather than their off-screen antics.

Although the Star initially didn't like the idea at all, they are now warming up to it. Without telling Parent 1, Star and Parent 2 started negotiating on behalf of the Star. The producers of the show are thrilled, but Parent 1 is absolutely furious, and has engaged in more than one screaming match with Parent 2 over it. Parent 1 can't believe that their authority and influence is being usurped, and that they have been completely undermined by Parent 2. Meanwhile, Parent 2 is telling friends that they are now in control of the Star, and that they will make a decision about the reality show by next Friday. By the way, the Star is an adult, not a child."

Also heard this a.m. that Mrs Palin's husband is possibly interested. Apparently, TPTB wanted Mrs Palin herself but she's unavailable. Honestly, if he is on the show, I'm really and truly done.

Interesting about Todd Palin... he was the one originally asked to be on the show. When he declined, Bristol was asked. After seeing the amount of time and effort it takes, I don't see him leaving his beloved Alaska to do this. How many times was he even in the audience to watch his daughter dance?

OG, after you posed your question, I thought about it and came up with this answer: if ANY current or ex-POTUS were to be on DWTS, I would be "really and truly done," to quote Costa! LOL. I just think our chief executives should behave in a dignified manner at all times. I wouldn't want to see one of them jitterbug or tango across the floor with a half-dressed woman. Just doesn't instill confidence in me, I guess.

I was watching GSN last night and the gameshow 1 versus 100 was on. It used to be hosted by Bob Saget and I thought it was cancelled. Well, it looked like a brand new version and Carrie Ann was the host!

Dancing's Cho criticizes viewers who made fun of Bristol
Comedian Margaret Cho, who was eliminated from the past season's Dancing With the Stars, had quite a lot to say about her fellow Dancing star Bristol Palin. Enough to fill a blog post.

From Cho's website:


Although I don't agree with the family's politics at all, I really like Bristol as a person. She's warm and incredibly supportive, and I think that she looks beautiful out on the dance floor. It's heartbreaking that people are so awful to her about her weight. I think she looks fantastic, and why does everybody think they have a right to comment on our bodies? What are young girls going to take away from that? If people call her fat what kind of impact does that have on women who have similar body types - which is most of us??!! Still, it is a dance competition, and so I am sure that people feel they have the right to judge bodies and not just ability. That's just wrong.

Mmmm. Sounds like Tyra when she told people to kiss her fat arse! She wasn't being indignant when she was thin! Matter of fact, she was busy passing judgement on girls who WERE a little pudgy.

But I agree with Ms. Cho about Bristol. She does seem like a nice girl. But a star and/or a dancer - she "ain't."

The latest 'rumor' I read was that Todd Palin and Meghan McCain have both been asked to be on next season, with an added 'rumor of a rumor' that two prominent Dem family members would be asked for that same season.

While it would be really interesting to watch a battle of the political 'giants' (families anyway), I don't think this would end up being good for the show. Maybe if it was some kind of 'special edition' mini-series...

Shel... I agree. They might get the viewers initially... but the political venom aimed at the contestants would spill over to the show itself. Bad move IMO

I think they should keep politics out of it. People get too sidetracked and it ruins the show for those who just want to watch the dancing.

But if she wasn't political I wouldn't have minded seeing Meghan McCain... she has a lot of spunk. And Chelsea Clinton would have been wonderful.

So many folks critisized Bristol for being on the show,I think Megan McCain is more of an opportunist and fame so Im not sure how well that would go over.

As long as political people are on entertainment shows, politics are going to be brought into it. Doesn't matter which side you are on.

I think it's mega dumb, too. Way too many people would be voting for the political party they favoured not matter how bad the dancer was. I wouldn't be surprised if people who didn't even watch the show would vote.

They missed their chance to have "Dancing with Nitwit Children of Politicos." Oh, well, they could still have "Dancing with Nitwit Celebs."

I agree, it is a dumb idea. Leave the politician and their families off the show. Would just be asking for trouble and it would be nastier then when Kate was on the show.

Interesting, I think the same of her. She has a mouth on her that just doesn't stop. Not great for someone in the public eye. Also, she's young, but thinks she knows it all. She needs to learn a little respect before I'd like to see her on any show.

If they do put her on the show, I'd love to see her feet to the fire. If she's so great, she should pick it up right away, eh? Heh, heh.

Portia de Rossi turned down DWTS; they wanted her to be half of the first same-sex team on the show. link

Lohan might be on, though. No mention of her being half of the show's first same-sex team. link
