Lindsay Lohan on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ producers’ wish list: report

The producers of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” are eying actress Lindsay Lohan as a potential contestant for the show’s next season, Radar Online reported Tuesday.

Producers “have had Lindsay on their wish list of castmates for a very long time,” a source close to the show told Radar.

The source said producers were concerned about Lohan’s erratic behavior but have noted the progress she has been making at the Betty Ford Center, where she is currently undergoing a court-ordered drug rehab program until at least Jan. 3, 2011 after violating the terms of her 2007 DUI probation.

The said producers were also aware that Lohan would be available due to her departure from “Inferno,” an upcoming biography of 1970’s porn star Linda Lovelace.

The movie’s producers said earlier this month that they had withdrawn their offer for Lohan to play the late “Deep Throat” star. But a source close to Lohan later insisted that it was the actress herself who made the decision not to do the movie because it would be counterproductive to her recovery efforts.

“The girl can dance,” the “Dancing with the Stars” source added. “Lindsay is wicked talented.”

A representative for the hit TV dancing contest would not comment on casting for its next season.
