Bristol Palin Vows to Wear 'Modest' Outfits on 'DWTS'

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 1st 2010 08:32AM

Bristol Palin calls herself "naturally shy" and believes that personality trait will carry over to what she'll be wearing as a contestant on 'Dancing With the Stars,' she tells PEOPLE.

The teen mom predicts she'll be the "most dressed" contestant and vows to have the "most modest outfits" in the cast. Why would she limit herself on a show that's notorious for skimpy outfits? "Because that's who I am," she says.

The 19-year-old [actress? aspiring reality star?] wants to set a good example for her 20-month-old son, Tripp. "I see this as something that's fun and that's positive and I'm going to be able to show my work ethic to people out there."

She also wants to represent for all the single moms out there. In an interview with RadarOnline.com, she says, "Yes, we can balance work and family, and we can also take on a new and exciting challenge."

Palin's dance partner, Mark Ballas, has his work cut out for him, as Bristol is a complete novice.

"I have no experience in dance," she tells PEOPLE. "But I come from an athletic background, so I'm thankful for that. [I played] basketball, volleyball, soccer, everything."

The full cast was announced Monday night. Joining Palin will be David Hasselhoff, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Audrina Patridge, Michael Bolton, 'Dirty Dancing' star Jennifer Grey, 'Brady Bunch' mom Florence Henderson and former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner. The show premieres Sept. 20.

Yes, I do believe that qualifies a person for DWTS. Wynona Ryder could be on also.

DWTS isnt about getting a message out about keeping your legs closed, Bristol(wanna be good girl).Women show skin.Men show their azzes.You show no skin,you are voted out before Florence Henderson.

Airhead....just like mom!~

By themeeker

She should have thought about wearing something more modest before she went ahead and got herself knocked up at 16. Who the heck is taking care of the kid while she's out doing this garbage?

Another Palin related idiot.

By fiona

She wasn't so shy when she was out doin' the nasty all over Wasilla. Uh-huh. Shy my hiney!

By njgirlxxxx

You are talking about yourself, right.

By katt

guess miss bismol, never saw the show, as she didn't know that costumes where skimmpy, but like u said air head was just looking at the money, not the cloths

By Apostate

This season's Kate Gosselin-only younger.

By KR

It's all about 'curiosity seekers'...and I'm gonna bet that Palin was guaranteed at least 3 or 4 weeks on the show, just like Kate. The whole world knew she was the worst yet she lasted that long? Don't say it was her 'fan base' either. That's all ficticious.

She is just like her mother lies she will be out there I guarantee you in whatever she dam well feels like wearing .this goody two shoes image is so tiresome get real you are an un wed mother and a child of Sarah Palin who promotes good Christian values . Then goes out and makes money off of every crazy word she says. It was is ok for you to promote promiscuity among young woman sure go out and have a baby at 18 , The candidate for Vice President Daughter did ! But the difference is that you supported by your mother you do have to worry about money . I really respect single moms and have nothing against a single woman choosing to have a baby . But when you are living under the roof of this Sarah Palin who Believes that the world is evil and has wondered off into there darkness , ( well she is part of this darkness ) . She has double standards and truly is a fake . She is only in Politics for the Power and the dollar ! People pay her lots of money, even after she left her post as Governor of Alaska I do not care of the thousands of silly reason she has made up , the bottom line is you can only make certain about of money being Governor she realized this and chose to go where the money was . Politics is not the issue to her power and money are . So you can say if she stayed in office all the lawsuits against her would have the cost the State of Alaska Millions of Dollars she thought it best she resign , well why where there even law suits against her in the first place ? This woman and now her daughter saying I will wear only modest outfits after she has already shown us she is not the good girl her mother would like for her to be . I find it hard to believe that she is even going to be on this show second that she will only wear modest cloths why not just stick on a Habit an break dance .This sounds like more fun than watching her for however long it takes for her to be on the air ! And what about the little one will he be on the set with you ?

I was under the impression that "Dancing With The Stars' was just that so what kind of STAR is Bristol Palin? I really can not remember her being in anything but on the news for having a baby.

By moudsie

Exactly -- every word and then some! If, IF, this little bimbo in training makes it beyond the first couple of shows, she will be showing as much skin as she did with Levi!

Didn't notice your insane rant mentioning the liberal tool who is the father of the child. A**hole

By Ralph DeMattia

Why is she on the "show" anyway? Because she had a baby and wasn't married to the father AT 16? Real Hollywood surprise, there! No, it's because her inept, unqualified mother had a failed election bid. That's some reason to put someone on TV. But then look at Kate Gosselin. She's on TV because she had too many children at taxpayer's expense. Another Hollywood surprise. Makes me wish I had 2 or 3 hundred acres of woods in the Alaskan wilderness and could go there, build a log cabin, and live by myself untill I died.

By Joy

I bet she can spell better than you.

By Barb

Get over it. She is not the first girl to have a baby out of wedlock and she isn't the last. She is trying to be a good mother and she is not her mother.

By kay

BLAH BLAH BLAH You say you respect young single moms, where's your respect for Bristol? When every slams Bristol, they slam every single mom!! She is trying to make a living, she didn't ask to be on this show....they invited her!! Would you respect her more if she had gone on welfare? Palin had lawsuits filed against her without merit, she did what she thought was best for the state..and if she happens to make a ton of money...GOOD FOR HER. I suppose if you had a chance to make a ton of money, you would turn it down?? You, like all the liberals are afraid of Palin!!!
