THG Asks: Should Lindsay Lohan Appear on Dancing With the Stars?

Welcome to THG’s new feature, in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument! Today, THG Asks : Should Lindsay Lohan Appear on Dancing With the Stars? YES by Free Britney Dancing With the Stars has resurrected careers for years. With Lindsay Lohan, they’d not only have a buzz-worthy star, but a lock for the redemption angle. When I heard DWTS was courting LiLo , I was skeptical. Is she ready for the spotlight so soon, I wondered. But what better start to her post-rehab life ? This is a girl once known for family-friendly projects. Now that she’s really turning a corner in her troubled life, she can endear herself to 20 million people. Whether it’s fans’ first look at Lohan 2.0, or a welcome comeback by the adorable Parent Trap star, she can actually dance, giving her a leg up on Bristol! NO by Hilton Hater Lindsay Lohan should not go Dancing with the Stars for one reason: she’d win in a landslide. Seriously, check out “Jingle Bell Rock” choreography in Mean Girls . But even more seriously: DWTS is viewed by over 20 million people a week. While the resumes of its “Stars” may often be thin, at least these contestants are known for SOMEthing in their professional field. (Okay, except Bristol Palin .) Sadly, Lindsay isn’t known as anything but a train wreck at this point. The acting boat sailed about two drug arrests ago. How would ABC even describe her? Lindsay Lohan, Professional Rehabber? Not an example such a popular show should set. THG Asks you … should Lindsay go on DWTS? Who made the winning case?
