The new season of Dancing with the Stars begins on March 17. At that time, might we see a merging of the two biggest reality shows on TV?

Luis van Amstel, a former Dancing with the Stars professional partner who still works as one of the ABC reality show's choreographers, told TV Guide in the magazine's February 10 issue that a certain American Idol judge wants to be included on the program.

"[Paila Abdul] told me she wanted to do [Dancing with the Stars]," he said. "I thought she meant to sing.  But she said, 'No. I want to dance.'"

Abdul recently debuted her new single "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" - which was produced by fellow Idol judge Randy Jackson - on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show; it represents her first single since "Crazy Cool" was released in 1995.

What do you think? Do you wanna see Paula Abdul on Dancing with the Stars?
