"The Insider" joined Lil' Kim and her pro dance partner Derek Hough during rehearsals for their first performance on the new season of "Dancing with the Stars," and the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning rapper and singer tells us she's a "huge fan" of the ABC show! "When I was in prison, me and my girls used to watch ['Dancing with the Stars']," says Kim. "My girls were like, 'Kim, you need to be on that show.' In prison you have to all agree what shows you watch. If we can't agree, it doesn't get watched. Everyone watched it faithfully. It's like the No. 1 show in prison!" In 2005, Kim (aka Kimberly Denise Jones) was defending herself against a perjury charge in a case involving the whereabouts of her manager during a shooting outside a New York radio station in 2001. She was ultimately sentenced to one-year-and-a-day in the Philadelphia Detention Center. On partnering with last year's "DWTS" champ Derek (with Brooke Burke), Kim says, "I was hoping and praying that I got Derek for my partner." Derek responds, "I was nervous [to meet Kim], but she's so soft-spoken and nice. We gelled immediately." Watch "The Insider" for more with Lil' Kim and "Dancing with the Stars," premiering Monday March 9!
