“But it was all part of Demi and Ashton’s effort to get Michael to sign with them for a reality show,” an insder told The Enquirer.
“Demi was in a business mode and was making sure Michael knew she was serious about working with him.”
Not long after that initial meeting, Demi and Ashont, 30, invited Michael to their home for dinner.
“Ashton sees a Phelps reality show as a breakout hit,” divulged the insider.
“He said to Michael, ‘Do you want to be on a box of cereal or do you want to be a Hollywood star? It’s up to you.”
