DWTS Producers Want Lindsay Lohan for Next Season

Report claims DWTS producers are bent on bringing Lindsay Lohan on board for next season

It’s been only days that the latest season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars wrapped, and producers are already looking at potential candidates for the following one. High up on their list is actress Lindsay Lohan, says new report.

Ever since her movie career started going downhill, rumors about Lohan doing side projects like reality shows have been plenty: at one point, she was even rumored for Celebrity Rehab.

However, this time is for good: producers from DWTS want her on the next season of the show, a source close to the production reveals for Radar Online.

Not only will DWTS mean a lot of money for Lindsay (Kate Gosseling reportedly got $500,000, Bristol Palin close to $380,000), but it will also boost her popularity, while also showing a side of her the public is not familiar with.

Plus, she can really dance, the source explains.

“Dancing With the Stars producers have had Lindsay on their wish list of castmates for a very long time,” the source says for Radar. They didn’t act on it because of LiLo’s drug and legal problems.

But these are almost solved and the star is clearly on the mend – so now is the time to make a move and make her an offer she can’t refuse, as the saying goes.

“The producers were concerned about her erratic behavior, but they are taking another look at asking her to come on for the next season because she is doing so well at her sober living facility,” the insider says.

“The girl can dance. Lindsay is wicked talented,” the spy assures Radar. And then there’s the supreme argument: “It pays very well. Lindsay has very limited income coming in and this could help get her out of the red.”

As of now, producers have not yet approached Lindsay with the offer, the spy says but, when they do and before she says yes, she will have to consult with her counselors, attorneys and sponsors.

I think this would be a bad move for DWTS. Yes, she has been in the news recently, but that is only one reason she should not be on the show. Not really a role model, is she? I would be against any "CELEBRETY" who uses that celebrety or their money to buy their way out of a charge the rest of the public would automatically be tossed in a cell to serve the sentence of the same type of charge. No judge would give John or Jane doe the same consideration.

I know many that feel the same as I do. We will not be watching that season of DWTS if she is going to be on the show....My children will be disappointed, as they also will not be allowed to watch DWTS if she is on the show, which is their favorite show on TV.

She is a %$#$%%% and always will be, no matter how many times she enters a rehab institution. She went into that lifestyle by choice. I do not feel sorry for her one bit. But if you want notoriety, that she will bring to the show. Plus, she is and has been a dancer and that also would not be fair to the other contestants. I doubt that choice will be the right one. But, I am but a fan of the show and that is my opinion, for what it is worth.
