Forget about dance-offs!

The Situation could find himself having an ab-off on Dancing With the Stars.

And not just with his abtastic partner, Karina Smirnoff...

Carrie Ann Inaba predicts fellow judge Bruno Toniolo is going to challenge the Jersey Shore star. "He's already talking about it," she told me this morning from New York, where she was promoting P&G's Give Hope Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. "I had a feeling as soon as they said The Situation, I was like, Bruno and him are going to have an ab-off.

"It's inevitable," she added. "You should start counting the minutes until the ab-off!"

Also inevitable? Not a lot of clothing for The Situation. "If he's smart, he'll dance shirtless because you are supposed to utilize your assets," Inaba said. "I always tell people, 'Work to your strengths, not to your weaknesses.' That's one of his strengths."

Now about that Bristol Palin.

"I will say under normal circumstances I would not call Bristol Plain a star, but she is a household name," Inaba explained. "So if a star can be equal to household name then, yes, she can be on Dancing With the Stars."
