'Jon and Kate Plus 8:' Jon Gosselin never offered spot on 'Dancing with the Stars'

We know about former "Jon and Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin and her participation on "Dancing with the Stars" -- but what about Jon? The reality TV dad was believed to be interested in the show last year, and at one point Us Magazine reported that he was offered $500,000 to be on the show, only to later turn it down as to not "put any strain on the family."

However, "Dancing with the Stars" insiders are now saying that there was never any offer made for Jon, and that all the talk is really a sign that no conversation ever actually happened:

"Generally speaking, if someone is talking about getting an offer from 'Dancing with the Stars,' they are not getting an offer from 'Dancing with the Stars.' When people are really in talks to be part of the show, they don’t say anything about it."
