Gag: Bristol Palin to be on Dancing with the Stars!

[WI_DEM]

Wasn't she the one who said that Levy was nothing but a publicity seeker? What is this obsession by the media with the Palins? and btw, what qualifies her as a "star" then again most of the has--beens or never weres on "Dancing" aren't exactly stars.

The Palin/Johnston love affair with reality shows continues: Bristol Palin is set to be a contestant on the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars."


The 19-year-old will strut her stuff on the 11th season of the ABC program, which will premiere September 20, according to E! Online.


Palin's in good company: Other contestants include David Hasselhoff, The Situation and Brandy.


A rep for ABC declined to comment to the website.

1. That family is nothing but a bunch of opportunists, vaulted to fame via collosal failure. n/t

[Skittles]

[Windy]

[rufus dog]

3. Better than pole dancing at the Star Dance Club

Well maybe not

[Taverner]

4. Someone should tell her dance partner to watch his pocketbook

That whole family being raised on Jesus and grifting...

5. Um, What is....How can you tell when "Dancing with the Stars" jumps the shark?

Did I get it right?

[Hawkeye-X]

7. Thank GOD I work second shift

It means I miss out on most of the garbage that passes for prime time TV these days.

[Myrina]

8. ... are you f*i'n kidding?

When did she become a 'star'?

This show has gone down the poop chute quick, fast and in a hurry - no more about dancing but now it's a popularity contest.

Ugh. The last (only?) good cycles were when Helio Castroneves and Apolo Ohno won.

[CBHagman]

9. I might have to throw the TV ou the window...

...but then I'd miss Masterpiece and Doc Martin.

Ruth Marcus was right when she said that Palin knew what she was doing when she put ambition (and greed) ahead of shielding her children.
