We have heard a few bizarre stories over the past few months regarding potential "Dancing with the Stars" cast members, in which everyone from Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel to "Jersey Shore" star The Situation has been mentioned.
However, this report may be the strangest one of all. A source is telling Radar Online that Mel Gibson ex Oksana Grigoerieva -- who is currently embroiled in a massive controversy surrounding some shocking phone calls made by the actor -- is in "secret negotiations" to join the ABC reality show for next season:
"Oksana has left on the table a potential appearance on 'Dancing With The Stars'.
“It would have given her a lot of money, not violated the gag order and promoted her as a talented musician, all while softening her public image in front of more than 40 million viewers each week.”
However, the site also reports that the publicist working to orchestrate the deal is no longer working with Oksana. Of course, it really doesn't matter since Gossip Cop is claiming through their sources that this whole rumor is completely bogus.
In the end, this is probably a good thing -- while Oksana may want some positive press, "Dancing" may not have been able to handle the negativity.

Thank God she's not, I like that show and she's trash.
Thank god I might have to go and throw rocks at her
Why shouldn't she do it? Allthough it is allready Hollywood Babylon soul selling. Dancing is very healthy for you. She could be cashing in and dancing very happy on Mel Gibson tape remix.
Written by her and Mel, signed by Mel. Just like with her real recordings. She should have made thed deal with Mel for 15 million not to expose the tapes. Now Mel is not gonna sign anymore. Now she is broke cause of the legal case. Mel is in a world
world to hurtfor life. She could have had a lot of money. But again allso that is a kind of soul selling. Don't knwo what to think anymore with these people. it is all about soul selling in Hollywood babylon.
If this woman is turning a very serious accusation and situation into opportunities to go on TV shows like dancing with the stars then she's worse than the Octomom.
that woman is a homewrecker and now she's trying to destroy his whole life. Granted he is responsible for his actions, but she knew what she was doing all along. I seriously would not have watched the show if she had been on it.
She lost two PR guys in a week - what does that tell you? No one wants to be around someone who is not even smart enough to cover their own lies. She tried to cash in, made a mess of it - now go away. Mel will have to clean up his own life and I am sure he will. I hope she does, too. If she had been on Dancing, it would have been poison for the show.
