Lance Armstrong has been offered a shot to get back into competition. It's just not in the Tour de France.

Lance has been asked to do Dancing With the Stars. In fact, producers have asked him every year since the show started, but he has always turned them down, including a spot on the upcoming season. And now that he's admitted to doping, DWTS is even more interested in casting him. A source says, "The higher-ups feel he is exactly what the show needs to bring back viewers."

Lindsay Lohan also turned down a spot on season 16 of Dancing With the Stars, which premieres March 18th.

Kim Kardashian is rushing to her mother's defense after a tabloid ran diary excerpts accusing Kris Jenner of beating her daughter when she was young.

• Kim hit twitter to deny the stories: "So my dad's ex is selling ridiculous stories again to tabloids! Do not believe it! Sad when people need money and get desperate."
• "P.S.: That story that my mom beat me and threatened to kill me -- hahahhahaha! I'd beat her! J.K. truly laughable! #NOTTRUE"

MANTI TE'O gave KATIE COURIC three voicemails that his fake girlfriend Lennay Kekua supposedly left for him.  It sure sounds like a female voice, but someone who claims to be a lawyer for Ronaiah Tuiasosopo says it was Ronaiah's voice . . . and that the whole hoax wasn't a prank, it was Ronaiah's attempt to, quote, "reach out and communicate and have a relationship."  You can hear the voicemails at KatieCouric.com, or at Deadspin.com.

Season Three of "The Walking Dead" will resume on February 10th, and AMC has released a new trailer for the next episode.  AWESOME!
