Kim called Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning, a day after news broke that Misty May-Treanor would be leaving DWTS due to an injury to her Achilles tendon, to discuss her possible return to the show.  News has it that Kim will be coming back to replace Misty, and to no one’s surprise, she is more than willing to return to DWTS.  What?  More spotlight??  Yes, yes, I’m in!

Kim even made a joke asking Ryan to make a call to ABC for her to get her back on the show.

But, according to Kim’s dancing partner, Mark Ballas, it’s merely a rumor, and when asked why she’s coming into LAX today, Kim responded that she’s only returning Los Angeles for “lots of business meetings” and “work stuff.”  Yeah, nice try, Kim.  You said it yourself, you are not a performer, so please don’t try to pretend to not know what the hell is going on.  Though, you do have playing dumb down to a science.  Please, spare us.

She told Ryan,

“I love Misty so much…I did e-mail with her and she’s doing OK, her spirits are really good,” said Kim. “But, hey, if they ask me back, I’m there.”

“I would TOTALLY go back if they asked me. I am not a performer. I would have loved to have that chance to at least have one break through dance where the judges gave me a good score and some positive feedback.”
