Bristol Palin Bans Levi Johnston From 'Dancing' Set

By Rob Shuter Posted Sep 8th 2010 08:50AM

Bristol Palin hasn't set foot on the 'Dancing With the Stars' ballroom dance stage and she is already demanding that her attention-starved ex-fiance, Levi Johnston, be barred from the audience.

"The last thing in the world Bristol wants is to look up from her cha-cha-cha and see his big goofy grin looking at her," a family friend tells me. "This is her time to shine and she doesn't want him trying to steal her spotlight."

Levi has a long history of popping up in places where the Palins don't want him, including a trip to their hometown of Wasilla with comedian Kathy Griffin and her reality show camera crew.

"I wouldn't put it past him to try and sneak into a taping," an insider tells me. "The only person that loves the press more than the Palins is Levi himself."

Bristol, who shares custody of son Tripp with Levi, will be living in Los Angeles with her baby once the show goes live each week. Her mom, Sarah, is expected to be spending time with them and visiting the ballroom to cheer her daughter on.

"Security is very tight at 'Dancing With the Stars,'" an ABC executive tells me. "If someone is not wanted in the ballroom, I can assure you they will not get in."

Which is a good thing because we don't need blood on the dance floor!

One thing we've learned from Sarah is that if God gives you Lemons for kids.....Make Lemonade.

High Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

Wait, YESTERDAY bristle was DENYING she has made any demands other than a special mic set. TODAY she is demanding someone (her child's father)not be allowed on set. What will TOMORROW bring? I wonder if anyone else will be allowed on set when sara barracuda shows up. Can anyone say DIVA?!!!

By moudsie

And this twit says she isn't a diva -- puhlease and why would he want to sit in the audience? It's just another publicity ploy -- and you can bet Mama Palin has her face in there trying to run the show -- OMG

The best thing is they will place her last in the lineup believing everyone will watch the whole show in order to see her. So, after everyone else has danced just tune her out. If only it were that easy with her so-called mother.

By Don

Why would that twit be there in the first place. He isnt related by blood or marrage to anyone there, just another jerk looking for his ten minutes of fame.

By LSchulz

So he's only good enough for money? For child support? He really is more than just a 'baby daddy'.

By papi looie

the word on the street is she's like her mother, they both like looking up at the ceiling.

By vickie

Why in the hell would he want to sit in the audience anyway?This is stupid....I hope the camera shows her mother because they will see how political the show is.........

By falling

Why would he want to be in the audience....maybe because some low level rag pays him a few bucks to show up and make a scene? He has already had to admit he lied about the Palin family, do you really think he is above doing something similar to make a few more bucks and stretch out his 15 minutes of fame? Poor guy needs to go home and get his HS diploman so he can support his kids...they seem to be adding up pretty quickly!

By Lisa

Tee hee....Thought they were going to ban Kate Gosselin.

By connors mommy

The show hasn't even started yet and she is bringing her teenage drama. I can only hope she is the 1st voted off, with her constipated smile. She is as big a pain as he ex.

...first it was tom delay flaunting a shirt with "vote republican " on it...then it was buzz aldrin because they were talking about cutting funding for the space program...now bristol....its all political...these are entertainment shows not news...if they are going to keep doing this .. I won't watch....Bristol also said that levi liked the limelight...so what does she do ?She goes on TV....the apple doesn't fall from the tree........

She has a child to support and a legitimate TV show offered her a small fortune...she would have been stupid to refuse? She needs the money and can get it legally, good for her! Her contract with DWTS says she must do the talk show rounds...they need the publicity, she provides it. I admire her for finding a legitimate way to support her son...I wish more of our young ladies would do that instead of making the other "choice"!

"The last thing in the world Bristol wants is to look up from her cha-cha-cha and see his big goofy grin looking at her," a family friend tells me."THIS IS HER TIME TO SHINE AND SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM TRYING TO STEAL HER SPOTLIGHT."

That one line says it all!!!!

By Patti

Why would he even want to go see her? I still can't believe DWTS even has her on this season. She's hardly a star. The picks each season just keep going downhill--picking Bristol--they finally hit ROCK BOTTOM!!!!!!

By carol sailors

Good luck Bristol. You are an amazing woman and we will be cheering you on.

Oh yeah ,she's amazing....??????

By wondering

Who is watching the baby? this little brat needs to be takeing care of that child instead of worring who will steal her thunder!

By vintage80s

Those two seem like a younger version of Jon & Kate!!! LOL They've probably watched way too much 'reality' tv.. no wonder they were trying to get their own show.
