Bristol Palin

BRISTOL PALIN AND JOAN RIVERS LIVING TOGETHER?

With no “Mr Selfridge” to look forward to on Sunday nights, we have to find other amusements. “Celebrity Wife Swap” can be surprisingly revealing and this week Bristol Palin and Melissa Rivers are trading places as single mothers. Bristol lives in small town Wasilla, Alaska with her sister Willow and her 4 year old son Tripp. Melissa lives in a Los Angeles mansion with her mother Joan Rivers and her son Cooper, 12. (Willow and Joan will stand in for the missing “husbands.”) How BRAVE is Bristol to move in with Joan, who has probably made hundreds of Sarah Palin jokes? (We recall Joan labeling Palin “a Nazi, stupid and crazy.”) It just shows how much these girls love doing reality shows. Definitely worth a look tonight on ABC.

“DANCING WITH THE STARS” WANTS ANTHONY WEINER ON THE SHOW!

“Dancing With The Stars” is negotiating with disgraced politician Anthony Weiner to join the dancing celebrities next season. Yes, the same U.S. Representative who resigned after twittering nude photos of himself to numerous women, and lying about it. Unbelievable? Think it over. The show had great ratings when Bristol Palin danced, and Celebrity Apprentice ratings soared when former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich participated on that show. Politicial figures- especially those involved in scandals, pull in lots of viewers.

BRISTOL PALIN HAS AN UNEXPLAINED NEW LOOK – BUT IT WORKS

Who doesn’t love to speculate about plastic surgery? Bristol Palin turned up at a recent event looking quite different (photo above right,) but it’s apparent that the well fed “Dancing with the Stars” contestant has also lost weight. (She refused to talk about her new look.) Her face looks much slimmer with better definition. The hair extensions also add a bit of Hollywood glamour. Is it simply weight loss or something more ? – you be the judge.

DANCING WITH THE STARS WANTS ANOTHER PALIN

“Dancing with the Stars” producers were overjoyed by the ratings Bristol Palin brought the show so now they want ANOTHER Palin for next season. Sarah is pretty much out of the question, so they’re after Bristol’s dad Todd Palin. Bristol shocked viewers when she landed in the top three, although she DID improve, she was never in winner Jennifer Grey’s league. DWTS is also interested in another politician’s daughter – Meghan McCain.

MARGARET CHO THINKS SARAH PALIN FORCED BRISTOL TO DANCE ON “DWTS”

Margaret Cho had a few things to say about her Dancing with the Stars competitor Bristol Palin, after the fact. Cho blogged that Sarah Palin FORCED her daughter to do DWTS. According to Margaret’s well-placed source, Sarah blamed Bristol’s unwed motherhood and personal problems for costing her the election. She felt that if Bristol did the popular show, people would learn to love her and she’d become an asset. Indeed, Cho really liked Bristol and described her as “warm and incredibly supportive” and felt bad about the weight criticism she had to endure. Not winning probably made Bristol even more likeable.

JENNIFER GREY: THE TIME OF HER LIFE

It seems that Jennifer Grey’s biggest professional triumphs so far both involved dancing – “Dirty Dancing” in 1987 and “Dancing With The Stars” this week. The 50 year old Grey triumphed over much younger competitors including 20 year old Bristol Palin. We probably have Jennifer to thank for avoiding riots in the streets that might have happened if the less graceful Bristol had won. Jennifer and her little girl Stella, 9, arrived in New York for TV appearances.

WHY ARE SARAH AND BRISTOL PALIN SO POPULAR?

What IS it with these Palins? Once the most openly maligned family in America has turned everything around and now it seems they can do no wrong. Bristol continues to clump her way through “Dancing With The Stars” while far better dancers are voted off. And Sarah’s new show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” broke the TLC ratings record for a premier, drawing five million viewers. The Hollywood Reporter says both fans and critics will find what they’re looking for on Sarah’s show. The Palin’s popularity continues to astonish us.

BRISTOL PALIN PREFERS HOLLYWOOD TO ALASKA

In the not-so-distant past, Levi Johnston (the mouthy father of Bristol Palin’s baby Tripp) was referred to by the Palin family as “Mr Hollywood” because he was scrambling for a show business career. The worm has turned. Encouraged by her reception on “Dancing With The Stars,” Bristol Palin has acquired an agent and not only is SHE going Hollywood, but she had her two year old Tripp sign with her agent also. No more Alaska, she plans to STAY in sunny Los Angeles!

IS BRISTOL PALIN CRUSHING ON THE SITUATION?

Our favorite backstage gossip from “Dancing with the Stars” involves Bristol Palin and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. According to The Enquirer, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin got very upset when her daughter started rambling on and on about how “cool” and “smart” the Jersey Shore star is. Bristol, 19, admires how Mike, 29, has managed his show business career, and they both happen to be living in the same apartment complex during the dance competition. She figures she could learn a lot from him. Her mother Sarah, however, fears that Bristol will end up running around with party boy Mike and warned her to stay away.

CAN BRISTOL PALIN DO WHAT KATE GOSSELIN DID FOR “DANCING WITH THE STARS?”

Bristol Palin, 19, is shaping up to be the new (difficult and demanding) Kate Gosselin on “Dancing With The Stars” and producers couldn’t be happier about her complaints. The show has barely started, and Bristol is already reportedly annoyed by all the questions about her mother and she’s not happy about the amount of press she has to do. Plus, of course, she intends to remain “modest” and won’t be wearing those sexy costumes. Producers are hoping her bratty behavior captivates viewers like Gosselin’s did – ratings zoomed and for the first time the show beat American Idol.
