Kathie Lee Gifford Up Next for ‘Dancing with the Stars?’

“Extra” caught up with Kathie Lee Gifford at The Variety Cody House for a special ribbon cutting ceremony unveiling its new playground and program for kids. The facility focuses on early intervention services, with roughly 85 infants and toddlers who live in poverty and struggle with severe developmental disabilities, delays and medical conditions.

Gifford revealed that she has been approached multiple times by the producers to be a celebrity dancer on “Dancing With the Stars.” She said, “They have asked me the last three times to do ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ but I can’t I have a dislocated toe.”

As for plastic surgery, Gifford commented, “What I don’t like to see is people’s individuality lost. I think a little bit here and there, that’s fine. When you go for procedure after procedure, it’s a person who is not very content with their soul.”

Regis Philbin’s former co-host also shared her concerns about Britney Spears.

Gifford met Britney when the pop star was just a teenager. “She was just this precious little girl, but I remember she had very bitten down little fingernails. Even then, I just thought, something's troubling her."

She continued, “I believe under all that trauma is just this little precious person I met when she was 16.”

I think Kathie Lee is great, always one to go after what she wants but also still be there for her family and I think thats why people have tried to tear her down, because when your not happy within yourself whether sub-conscious or not you can’t stand to see others happy. Her family should be very proud of what she has achieved both career wise and personal life too!

P.S. I’m writing from Ireland x.

I’d like to see FRANK Gifford on Dancing With the Stars!! That would be awesome!!

Why does Britney have to come up in EVERY celebrity interview? Is she such an important issue that every star has to be asked what they think of her situation? It’s just another way for Brit to grab the spotlight away from everyone else.

Precious? Britney Spears?
Once upon a time, maybe.
If precious means someday having become a shameless partying train wreck, then I don’t want any part of the word precious.
