The thought of Shaquille O’Neal getting his “Magic Mike” on is pure comedy in itself. And, apparently the ABC network thinks so too. In an effort to feed off the success of “Dancing with the Stars,” ABC has announced the addition of a new dancing competition. “Pole Dancing with the Stars” will work in the same vein as DWTS, but will include a slightly provocative edge. A spokesperson for ABC raved, “the show has something for everyone. Both male and female viewers will get the thrust of what we’re going for.” Adding: “And, for some of our celebs, this a chance at a whole new career that doesn’t involve using the phrase ‘would you like fries with that?’” During each episode, studio audience members will have the opportunity to “make it rain” contestants. Celebrities such as Shaquille O’Neal will be given their own stripper aliases, as well as, give their hard earn cash to their favorite charities. No word yet on when the television show will air.
