Season 22 of "Dancing With The Stars" is just a little over a month away, and producers are trying to get their perfect cast together. With so many options out there, casting rumors have already begun, and Scott Disick is the latest name going around.
Disick, who is reality star Kourtney Kardashian's ex and baby daddy, has apparently been asked to be on "DWTS" in the past and he was asked once again for the upcoming season, according to TMZ. This time, he showed some interest, but sources are saying that he's asking for $500,000.
Since "DWTS" has a strict policy where they pay everyone the same amount, $500,000 is way over budget. He was apparently then told that they would guarantee him $125,000 if he agreed to join and $345,000 if he made it to the finals.
While he has been asked to be on "so many times," other sources are saying that there's "no chance Scott would be on the show," according to Us Weekly. The source also explained that ABC "would never give him $500,000."
Disick also recently split from Kardashian and finished a stint in rehab, and the source added that he "is in no shape to be talking about those things right now."
Even though Disick is not officially married into the Kardashian family, he is the father of Kourtney's three children and pretty well-known from their hit reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and from doing his own club appearances. When asked how he feels about Disick competing on the show, former "DWTS" winner Alfonso Ribeiro had some pretty honest thoughts.
"I neither know of him or care about him enough to have an opinion," Ribeiro told TMZ. "He's not a star. So it's dancing with the what? A guy who married to a family who is stars."
Since Kourtney's sister Kim and brother Rob have both competed on the show in the past, TMZ also asked Ribiero if he feels bringing on another member of the famous family would help ratings.
"I wouldn't say that they have been necessarily good for ratings on that show," Ribeiro explained. "They've been part of a cast. To say that they've been part of making the ratings good for the show, who knows...I don't think anyone's tuning in for Scott Disick."
