Lindsay Lohan may be dancing her way back into the public spotlight. Radar Online reports that Lohan is in secret talks with the producers of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ to compete on the next season of the hit ABC show.

Numerous sources told Radar that both sides see an appearance as mutually beneficial.

“Lindsay’s treatment team thinks Dancing With the Stars would be a perfect transition back to work for her,” one source said. “She would have a set schedule everyday, would be occupied and would be very productive. Lindsay wanted their approval before proceeding in talks with the producers and she got it.”

This rumor isn’t new, per se. Lohan was buzzed about as a potential contestant for this past season in August, though she was not cast. She was then sentenced to rehab in October.

It came out on December 1st that the ‘Dancing’ producers were interested in another splashy casting: Todd Palin, father of this season’s third place winner, Bristol.

I have never – not once – watched a full episode of DWTS. If Lindsay gets cast, that could quickly change. That would be a smart move on ABC’s part!

Lindsay Lohan has been working hard in recovery and it appears her rehab program has awarded her temporary sober house with a “Sober Shine Award,” which was displayed in the front yard Monday morning, November 29th, 2010, in Rancho Mirage, CA.

I’m glad to see that she’s doing so well! I hope she makes a full recovery and bounces back to making comedies like she used to. I’m also happy that she dropped Inferno, I thought it would be another I Know Who Killed Me, which could have devastating affects on her career.

Seems like Lindsay is spending a lot of time outside rehab lately!

Over the holiday weekend, the 24-year-old actress did some shopping, hitting up Gucci and Michael Kors.

Lindsay has been ordered to stay in treatment until January 3, after violating her probation earlier this year when she failed a drug test.

After spending some Thanksgiving in Los Angeles the day before, actress Lindsay Lohan resumes her recovery routine including favorite past times of smoking and drinking Starbuck’s coffee in Rancho Mirage, California on November 26th, 2010.

Not only did Lindsay Lohan enjoy her Thanksgiving yesterday by spending time with her father, she also spent time with her ex-girlfriend, Samantha Ronson.

TMZ reports:

Lindsay got in a little light workout at a not-so-private gym in Los Angeles early Thanksgiving morning. According to our sources, Lindsay went on to break bread with a few friends — including SamRo — at her apartment in West Hollywood.

We’re told Michael Lohan showed up at Lindsay’s place around 5:30 PM and then Lindsay had to head back to her sober living facility.

Lindsay had originally wanted to spend the holiday back in NY with Dina and the fam, but Betty Ford denied the request.

I guess Lindsay wasn’t too upset about Sam going to Cabo with Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie….hmm?

September 26th was the last time that Lindsay Lohan was on Twitter, until earlier today. Since she’s been in rehab, she really hasn’t had the opportunity to take advantage of any internet related privileges.

Nine hours ago, Lindsay retweeted the above message from Tom Cruise.

Can’t wait until she is back to normal already…

Dina Lohan is really pulling out all of the stops in an attempt to get her daughter Lindsay back to New York for the holidays. Unfortunately for her, her plans may not succeed at all.

Perhaps she thinks that the law doesn’t apply to Lohans? Who knows?

Dina said yesterday, “I am still trying to get her to New York to be with us for Thanksgiving.” It was already said that the Judge in the case wanted Lindsay to stay put right where she is. She’s doing well at the Betty Ford Center, but probably urged her mom to try and pull some strings.

Radar Online reports:

Although Lindsay wanted to join her family back east, it looks as if she is stuck in California for Thanksgiving this year, RadarOnline.com has learned.

“The judge has not given her permission to leave the state, in fact, she can’t get permission until after January 3rd,” said our source.

But even with the judges orders in place, Dina has not given up trying to be with her daughter and longs to spend time with her.

”I would love to have her with me during the holidays,” Dina told RadarOnline.com.

But a friend of the star feels that staying in Los Angeles might just be the best thing for his close pal.

“She’s been doing really well in rehab, and it’s just better that she doesn’t travel while’s she’s still working on getting better.”

Meanwhile, the Betty Ford Center will be serving a buffet-style Thanksgiving dinner. The cafeteria staff will prepare turkey, ham, stuffing and all the holiday trimmings.

During dinner there will be a “Gratitude Celebration” where family members and staff take the opportunity to praise each patient and congratulate them for maintaining a sober and drug free life.

She needs to stay in rehab and heal herself before she thinks of anyone else. She doesn’t want to end up like Heath Ledger or Brittany Murphy.
