Abdul mentioned as possible 'Dancing' star

Pasadena, Calif. -- ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson says he is open to adding singer-choreographer Paula Abdul to "Dancing with the Stars."

McPherson said Saturday that Abdul, who recently ended her "American Idol" judging duties amid a contract dispute, would be a welcome addition to "Dancing" as a judge or participant, People.com reported.

"Absolutely. I would love that," McPherson said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Pasadena, Calif. "I was a little stunned by the decision, and we would love to have her on 'Dancing.'"

McPherson has already reached out to Abdul regarding a possible spot on ABC, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"I think she's a huge talent," McPherson said. "I think that there's a lot made about her in terms of who she is. And I think there's a sensitivity and a kind of emotion to her that balances out 'Idol.' And we'd love to get a piece of that. It would be great."
