Bristol Palin 'Excited' for 'Dancing With the Stars' Gig

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 26th 2010 01:00PM

Bristol Palin is moving on from her recent breakup from Levi Johnston by hitting the dance floor. Sarah Palin's 19-year-old daughter has officially been cast on season 11 of 'Dancing With the Stars,' E! News is reporting and sources confirm to PopEater.

Although she has never danced before, Palin is looking forward to living in LA while the show tapes and is bringing her son, Tripp, with her, sources at ABC tell PopEater's Naughty But Nice Rob. Her proud mama plans to be sitting in the front row cheering her daughter on.

"Bristol is excited and scared and hopes she gets Maksim Chmerkovskiy as her partner," the source adds.

Last season, he and Erin Andrews turned up the heat on (and off) the dance floor -- but the brash dancer still hasn't taken a star to the top to win the mirror-ball trophy.

According to E! News, David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, The Situation and Brandy have all been cast on the upcoming season, which premieres Sept. 20.

She's gorgeous..I hope she wins this damn contest. Really I don't. If she wins I have no chance, If she loses I have a .01 percent chance at Bristol.

Bristol Palin is the "star" of what? A dysfunctional family? They need to change the name of the show to "Dancing with the Notorious". There's nothing of star quality in a girl who's biggest achievements are getting knocked up in high school and then not having the relationship work.

By vinylman

she may not be a dancer but we know she does the horizontal mambo.

TODAYS TV PRODUCERS CONTINUE TO DO A DISERVICE TO THE VIEWING PUBLIC..pALIN IS NIETHER A STAR NOR HAS SHE DONE ANYTHING MERITORIOS TO WARRANT THROWING MILLIONS MORE HERE WAY FOR SCREWING UP!!!

By Gia

I would like to know who is the brilliant person who chooses the "stars". Why don't you listen to who the public wants to see?

By pat

If I see or hear about the Palins again, I will definitely puke. They are not newsworthy, so why do you bother to talk about them, or even give them air time. These people are so misguided and misfunctional. Stop mentioning them.

She will finally get to see her mother as she admitted to the media. Palin will arrive for the publicity and narcissism for sure.

I thought it was "Dancing with the "STARS". Since when is Bristol a star. Or maybe the "new" definition of star means someone who had 15 minutes of fame, no matter what kind. Thankfully I don't watch it and now I know I never will.

By jb

If she's anything like her dingbat mother, she'll probably have to write cheat sheet notes of the dance routine on the inside palms of her hand.....another airhead!

By mw

Wonder how they will introduce her when she walks down the stairs with her partner?

......So much HATEFUL SPEECH here........ for what? A young beautiful woman that was terribly hurt by someone that 'duped' her into believing he 'loved' her.....thereby......she got pregnant.....and had the baby and HE went straight to H'wood and somehow is the 'great one'???? You people are NUTZ! I wish nothing but the best for Bristol Palin....... and I believe she is brave to even try the DWTS....as she has been GIVEN NOTHING BUT GRIEF ever since HER PRIVATE tragedy occurred in her life. She's pulling herself up and going on with her life while raising her baby. WHAT is so wrong about that????? ...And I'm sick and tired of hearing her referred to a 'bimbo'! It's really sad and telling of the hate speech for someone YOU PEOPLE Don't KNOW......It's like you are sociopaths that HAVE NO empathy or Well wishes for someone that has done NOTHING TO HARM YOUR LIFE! I think she's a great inspiration to take on the challenge!

By mom

Good for her...anything to get away from her nutty mom and have some fun. She is way too young for all the drama she has been through.

By Lora

Gosh, you're pretty rough on a 19 year old girl. Maybe she wants to do it because it would be fun and is the opportunity of a life time. I just wish I could get famous for a few weeks so I could qualify !!

By LDF

Bristol needs to star in a porno.

The "HATEFUL SPEECH"is probably because she is the daughter of an very unpopular, stupid woman who will not go away. This is Bristol's chance to show the world who she is away from her obtrusive mother. Hopefully Sarah will stay away and give her daughter the opportunity to shine. But knowing Sarah, she will be all over Bristol and in that case I will not watch.
