Bristol Palin is ready to tango! She and her 'Dancing With the Stars' partner Mark Ballas hit the dance studio for the first time. "It's positive and it's a good competition. I wanted to step outside my comfort zone and have a good time," she told
Us Weekly.
ABC sources told
PopEater's Naughty But Nice Rob last week, "Bristol is excited and scared" for her debut. Her proud mama Sarah Palin plans to be sitting in the front row cheering her daughter on, the source adds.

I keep wondering why everyone has such a problem with Bristol palin. You can dislike her mother and her parents politics. BUT, she's a kid. Doing what,in some cases unfortunately, kids do. So she gets a paycheck for this bit of reality fluff. We reward the spencers, lohans , kardashians for acting like bigger fools and displaying really bad judgement. Leave this kid alone/

'she's a kid. Doing what,in some cases unfortunately, kids do. "
I believe you need reconsider the chronological age and experiences . A kid is a kid (as parent fingerprint) and don't make adult's play .When make it they are no more kids.
A kid who makes kids...HA! What a bad example she is!!! First, she is NOT a star; she is a bad example for all the teenagers. Just because her mom is involved in politics, it doesn't make her to be a star. Of course, she wants money, money, money, fame, and loose weight. What a crop!!!
The show is named "Dancing With The Stars." No sorry but she is not a star or even a former star.
Millions of teenagers have sex every year as well as drink and drive. Most don't get pregnant or caught, she did. That doesn't make her a bad person.
Why is Margret Cho dancing with a man?
She is certainly an unemployed kid but she is not a star so she should not be on the show.
Calling Bristol Palin a “star” is nothing but disrespecting true stars like Betty Davis and even Susan Luchi. I thought the organizers of dancing with star are really using some criteria to recognize and elect the stars. To me this girl, who has no skill except being the daughter of Sara Palin, is bringing the dancing with stars rating down. However, when her Sara Palin qualifies for vice president candidacy, Bristol qualifies to be a star.
I want Brandy to win. The didn't even list her name up there. What? They don't think she has a chance or what?

Exactly, how racist is that. Where is Brandy's name? SMH!
She has a chance at winning.
I'm so sick of the "that's racist" crap. Did anyone notice that they only mentioned 8 of the 12 contestants. How is that racist? And we wonder what's wrong with this country.
I never said anything about racist. And I was referring to the fact that her name is not listed in the poll: the who do you want to win thingy or who do you think will win thingy. I wonder if she's still even going to be on the show. And that is not what is wrong in this country. You are what's wrong in this country. You obviously have a twisted view of things. Racism does exist.
Sorry Marla but I think it's peo[ple like you that keep racism alive and well in this country.

You know what, you're a nut. A total sicko. Someone else brought up racism. She just noticed that Brandy wasn't mentioned.
To: njgirlxxxx
No, it's people like you who started it and keep it alive. They've changed the poll to something else.
This is a young girl who is an unwed mother, whose mother is now a multimillionaire because she in part defined herself as a family values, abstinence supporting kind of candidate. Stuff happens, ok, bristol should be left alone to raise her own family. But please, why is she being celebrated? It is our own fault for supporting this kind of show who often celebrate truly unfortunate people who dont have any real ability to contribute to the society they live in.

And which celebrities do you have in mind that are/were big contributors to society at 18 years old? Now unwed mothers are to be shunned according you - or is it just because she is Sarah Palin's daughter? It's true the producers have put her on the show because of her mother's celebrity, but so what? If Malia Obama wanted on the show they would do the same thing. And you wouldn't open your pie hole.
I want Brandy to win. They don't have her name listed. But she's in the picture and I've been hearing that she's one of the scheduled contestants.
