Paula Abdul -- 'Dancing' Is Lucrative

Paula Abdul has a million reasons to appear on "Dancing with the Stars."

ABC has offered Abdul a $1,000,000 development deal, with one catch -- she has to appear on "DWTS," sources tell TMZ.

ABC has been going after Paula for a few years now, trying to get her on "DWTS."

According to the proposed deal, ABC would allow Paula to do "The X Factor" with Simon Cowell. We're told Simon and Paula met a week ago to discuss the show, and it looks like it will happen.

Paula has to make a quick decision -- we're told the ABC offer is contingent on Paula doing "DWTS" this season, which starts in March.

A rep for ABC says they don't comment on prospective cast members.

A. Carter + Back Taxes = Million Dollar Cry Baby

Aaron Carter's recent elimination from "Dancing with the Stars" cost him a steady paycheck and the timing couldn't be worse -- Uncle Sam says he owes over a million bucks in back taxes.

According to documents filed in Los Angeles yesterday, the alleged former teen heartthrob owes a staggering $1,010,635.08 to the government.

At least now we know why he was crying so much after the show last week.

Joanna Krupa Went 'Wild' with Snoop Dog

Joanna Krupa from "Dancing with the Stars" has accomplished a feat not many women have been able to do: She was featured on a "Girls Gone Wild" video with Snoop Doggy Dog and managed to keep her clothes on the whole time.

0-zr8579q5

TMZ has obtained some footage of Krupa on a "GGW" video she did with Snoop Dogg back in the day called "Doggystyle." On the tape, she's just one of the hot chicks Joe Francis uses to introduce the video.

Unfortunately -- just like that tickle torture vid -- Krupa is covered in more clothes than she is when doin' the jive.

Joanna Krupa Tickled Pink in Fetish Video

Joanna Krupa has got one hilarious foot fetish -- or at least she does in this laughable low budget fetish video from back in the day ... complete with more tickle torture than anyone should ever have to endure.

TMZ has learned the Playboy bombshell and "Dancing with the Stars" competitor scored the starring role of "Head Nurse Regina" in the foot fetish/tickle torture film "No Shoes No Mercy" back in 2003 ... probably for some extra cash before her big break.

In the video, Krupa starts off by unleashing her fingers of fury on her female tickle partner ... then gets tied down on the hospital bed for an awkwardly awesome session of her very own.

As for Krupa's tickle partner? That's Sarah Kozer -- a reality TV regular you might recognize as the runner-up from "Joe Millionaire."

Katherine Jackson -- Total Sucker for 'DWTS'

Katherine Jackson made a front row appearance on "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night -- and we're told she had such a great time ... that she's going back for more.

Katherine, Jermaine, and La Toya were invited to attend Tuesday's show for a special tribute to Michael Jackson -- and even though we're told Katherine didn't want to go at first, she loved it so much she requested tickets for Monday.

As for the Jackson family favorites ... it's a three-way tie between Kelly Osbourne, Maya, and Donny Osmond.

Karina Smirnoff Finds a Penny, Picks Him Up

Karina Smirnoff's new man is a giant -- as in San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Brad Penny.

The "Dancing with the Stars" pro -- who just broke up with ex-fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy -- was all over the baseball player last night during the Steel Panther show at the Key Club.

She may be a professional hip-shaker, but the only dancing these two were doing was with their tongues.

Kelly Osbourne Feels the Burn

"Dancing with the Stars" is probably a good workout, but Kelly Osbourne says it wasn't the dancing that gave her a burning sensation -- it was her body spray.

Kelly just tweeted she had to get her "DWTS" costume fixed so it would cover the fresh burns she suffered after using a British line of body fragrances called Impulse Body Spray.

She wrote: "Never use impulse body spray from the UK i sprayed it on myself and now have really bad burns all over my body."

We contacted Impulse's manufacturer Unilever in the US -- which also makes Axe Body Spray -- who said: "We are looking into the incident that Kelly Osbourne reported, and appreciate her feedback and input."

Old 'Dancing' Outfit Made Emmy Debut

Following in the choreographed footsteps of Natalie Coughlin and Shawn Johnson, Brooke Burke's "Dancing with the Stars" Season 7 frilly gold getup (left) made it on Karina Smirnoff's back (right) for her Emmy show performance on Sunday.

The recession spares no one.

Macy Gray Drops 'Cherry' Bomb on 'Dancing'

Macy Gray made quite an impression on the "Dancing with the Stars" judges last night -- but it had more to do with her breaking out the phrase "busted my cherry" on live television than her Viennese Waltz.

It's clear the judges will always remember Macy's first time.

'Dancing' with Recycled Dresses

New season, new contestants, same old outfit.

Swimmer Natalie Coughlin was given the same frilly blue dress for her web promo that gymnast Shawn Johnson wore on the show last year -- giving the lovely ladies something else in common other than the 2008 Olympics.

The dress could turn out to be good or bad luck: Johnson won "Dancing" last year ... but she also gained an alleged stalker.

Chuck Liddell -- The Iceman Drinketh!

Remember when Chuck Liddell said he wasn't going to booze while training for "DWTS?" Well, it looks like training is definitely over.

The UFC fighter hit up the Key Club after his "Dancing" debut last night -- where he was caught knocking back a few drinks inside and macking on a busty blond, who he later left with.

Maybe she was helping him with his horizontal mambo.

Mya -- Blood on the Dance Floor

Mya is officially the newest victim of the ruthless "Dancing with the Stars" curse -- the pop star had a run-in with some broken glass last night and sliced herself so badly, she needed stitches.

Mya just posted the following message on her Twitter page: "Went 2 the hospital late last night 2 get stitches . Deep cut from glass. Only caught 2hours of sleep but feel great. Must be adrenaline."

Sound familiar?? It should.

Last year, Kim Kardashian also suffered a major laceration from an incident with broken glass right before her stint on Dancing with the Stars.

If history is any indicator, Mya's in for a short run ... Kim got the boot in week 3.

UPDATE: Mya just wrote an injury update on her Twitter page: "Nothing to worry about. Just an ugly slice on my finger-not the first time I've had stitches. I'll be just fine. Thanks 4the concern."
