Is Bristol Palin a Bigger Star Than Her Mom Now?

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 9th 2010 07:49AM

Bristol Palin dominated the news this week, with her military-precision responses to slights by Margaret Cho (Sarah made her do 'Dancing With the Stars'), Kathy Griffin (Bristol's chubby) and Keith Olberman (she's a "Worst Person"). All this attention has many wondering, is the daughter a bigger celebrity than her famous mom?

"Without any doubt Bristol is now the biggest star in the Palin household," an A-list Hollywood publicist tells me. "At the moment I would argue she's one of the biggest stars out there."

Easy, now. It's true that Bristol is finally finding her voice (with the help of a speechwriter, as Billy Bush opined this week on 'Access Hollywood') and this added attention along with her success on 'Dancing' has led to a whole host of offers and opportunities for the young mom. Books, reality shows, product endorsements ... you name it, she's been offered it.

One weekly celeb magazine editor tells me Bristol is "the new Kim Kardashian" on the scene.

"She's beautiful and real and not another one of those skinny Hollywood types. Add that she was a teen mom, which is very in right now with the MTV show and all, and you couldn't have written a better or more dramatic personal story. Sarah is yesterday's news. Bristol is today."

Get your Bristol/Kim K 2012 yard signs ready.

I actually feel sorry for Willow Palin. How the heck do you follow up the success of a clumsy, un-wed mother for a sister and a do anything for attention mother?

Isn't it sad anymore how bad people want fame? I am sick of this family already They will allow all the stupidity in the world on TV like there are no intelligent people lft in the world that want to see more than people make fools of themselves on TV. These two are nerve racking until i can't stand to see them anywhere. They need to go home and take care of that baby. money and fame makes fools like these.

The real question is, why is Rob Shuter obsessed with Bristol Palin? Isn't he gay.

By JBaer

Will this be a new thing now--PopEater posts articles about Bristol Palin for their own sakes? Give it a rest, people. You guys smacked her around plenty--and for no good reason--while she was on "DWTS." Sheesh...

If there is room for a Paris and Kim and Snookie and gaga
then theres room for Bristol. Bristol already get the scrutiny that a celebrity has to endure so why not? Not my cup of tea
but if thats your thing have at it you could do worse.

Bristol is already a bigger star than her mom. I'd say she has her by about 20 pounds, easy.

Wow, put your daugther on tv, round up your contitutients to watch, and all of a sudden you have a base to run for election........oh and your daughter did ok, yeah, now where else can she plug in her daughter to benefit herself.......mmmmmmm

Im happy for her but also afraid for her. I hope everything works out for her and that she is able to handle all of this media frenzy and attention without changing her soul.. Fat chance huh?

Being a teen mom is "In" huh? That pretty much sums up most of what's wrong with society currently. That thinking, and Bristol Palin alike, are both Puketastic. I just wish someone would pay her to go away, and take her harpy mother with her.

By marc1frog

The only reason she's " Famous" is because because the tabloids keep writting about her and idiots keep reading about her.

go Bristol, take all the offers you get; you are alright in my book. janie

"Is Bristol Palin a Bigger Star Than Her Mom Now?"

If the last known publicity pix of Bristol Palin are any indication, Kathy Griffin's right, Bristol is a LOT bigger than her mother.

Paparazzi, "Your mission, should you decide to accept it" is to search out Bristol #Palin, the Face of Candies Teen Abstinence, and take pix
