Paula Abdul won't go 'Dancing with the Stars'

"Dancing with the Stars" has done a pretty solid job of keeping its new cast under wraps, but at least we know one celebrity who won't be joining the show this spring: Paula Abdul.That's according to TMZ, which cites sources close to the former "American Idol" judge as saying Abdul won't be part of the 10th edition of "DWTS." ABC will announce the participants on Monday (March 1) during the finale of "The Bachelor"; it premieres Monday, March 22.
So far, only Pamela Anderson's name has been widely circulated as a possible contestant -- although new figure skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek and "Deadliest Catch" captain Sig Hansen have both said they'd like to take part.
Speculation about Abdul doing "Dancing with the Stars" began almost immediately after she said she wouldn't return to "American Idol." ABC wooed her, but no deal ever came out of it. She's also reportedly been talking with her "Idol" cohort about the American "X Factor" that launches next year.

If she was on it would be a joke given her extensive dance background, moreso than any previous contestant, I think.
That would be so unfair that people wouldn't bother tuning in. It's supposed to be a show about "learning" to dance, not a show for dancers.
HELLO...not as a contestant! she could've been a guest judge DUH!!
I've seen enough of Evan Lysacek - please, no DWTS.
i wish she would dance on the show. she's such an awesome dancer and choreographer i wanna dance and make up dances like her. she pops in to dance classes in hollywood randomly and that is so awesome. i know it would be kinda unfair cuz she's so good but i don't care i wish she would dance on the show. i just wanna watch her dance! i love watching her dance!
