Lindsay Lohan won't be on 'Dancing With the Stars' next season, but we could see another Lohan instead. In an interview with RadarOnline, Lindsay's mom, Dina, said she was interested in appearing on the show even though her daughter turned it down, saying, "Lindsay actually told the woman at 'Dancing With the Stars' who made the offer that 'you need to take my mom!'"
No word on whether the producers listened to the suggestion, but since Dina's giving interviews about the conversation, we're betting they didn't.
