Lindsay Lohan should forget that Linda Lovelace movie.

If she really wants a comeback after her stints in jail and rehab, she should waltz right on over to Dancing With the Stars.

At least that's what one judge thinks.

A Dancing judge, that is.

Carrie Ann Inaba tells us that the fallen starlet is at the top of her list to compete next season. "Lindsay is my No. 1 pick," Inaba told us this morning at the Dizzy Feet Foundation's celebration of National Dance Day in downtown L.A. "I want her so bad!"

How bad?

Well, so bad that when we were talking to Inaba, she actually fell to her knees, put her hands in the prayer position and pleaded, "Please, Lindsay Lohan, come on our show!"

She went on to explain, "I think it would be great for her. She's so adorable. I think she needs a second chance and it would be a wonderful way to show the world she can pull it together."

Meanwhile, Inaba said she hadn't heard the report that Mel Gibson's estranged baby mama Oksana Grigorieva was trying to get on DWTS—a rumor pooh-poohed by sources close to the show.

Even so, Inaba said, "She's a beautiful lady. It would be nice for her to define herself from Mel."

Perhaps it's time for a DWTS spinoff. Let's just call it Dancing With the Trainwrecks.
