Kris Jenner Headed To 'Dancing With The Stars'?

Kris Jenner Dwts

Now that the latest season of "Dancing with the Stars" has ended, producers are already busy trying to find celebrities to go pointed-toe-to-toe next season. And this time they've got their eye on the mother of all Kardashians -- Kris Jenner.

"They have already had Kim and brother Rob Kardashian on the show and now they are hoping to get mamma Kris to swing her hips," an insider told me. "Love them or hate them, the Kardashians bring a huge amount of media and buzz to anything they do and having Kris join the next show would be a smart and controversial move, which is exactly what this show loves to do."

In the past, "Dancing" hasn't shied away from casting divisive competitors -- Kate Gosselin, Bristol Palin and Chaz Bono, to name a few. Producers have done so with the knowledge that, when it comes to ratings, hate trumps indifference every time.

"They have already asked Robin Quivers from the 'Howard Stern Show' to join next season, but she has turned them down for a fourth time, saying she doesn't want to take that much time away from Howard," a source close to Stern's show told me. "So expect Kris to get her offer in the next few weeks."

Could Kris become the first Kardashian to take home the Mirror Ball? Stranger things have happened -- to Kardashians!

"the Kardashians bring a huge amount of media and buzz to anything they do" translation "we want higher ratings, we want higher ratings, WE WANT HIGHER RATINGS!!!"

I am an avid watcher of DWTS, but I will tell you this: If Kris Jenner is on that show, I will NOT be a fan any more. I'm so sick of that family and I have the feeling that most people are too. If this show takes her on, the show will have a drop in ratings and ultimately , it will put the Kabosh on the show too. You remember how Kim was ? She was a big bomb and that's what it will be like with the mother. I do have to say, Rob was a different story although he was quite the crybaby in the beginning and blaming it all on his mother. But I think the more he got into it, he started to grow up and took it seriously. Of course I don't have the priviledge of the behind the scenes critic, but the show did seem to inspire him on the dancing end and also (I think) it inspired him to go on to law school. (We'll see what he does). But his mother is all about money and is a 'yes mother' so that everything seems to be perfect in her eyes. I don't like that as we know she's lying.
You also made a mistake a few shows ago with that horrible Kate Gosselin person. Don't make another mistake like that. I'm sure it would NOT be good for the show. NO KRIS Jenner!

I read DWTS ratings were way down do to bad casting, to much controversy, not enough stars. At least they could have gone for Bruce, who did something besides peddle his daughters for his shillings.
