Eek: Bristol Palin to star in reality series

[Boyo Jim]

Story here (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110509/ap_en_ot/us_tv_bristol_palin). The story notes she earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as a spokeswoman against teen pregnancy. I expect she will later earn hundreds of thousands of dollars as a spokeswoman against being on reality shows.

The story is apparently about he moving from Alaska to Los Angeles to become a bigger media whore.

I thought about putting this in CS, but by no stretch can the show be considered part of "the Arts", and I seriously doubt that cafe society will be all abuzz about this.

Interesting that it implies she still lives in Alaska - she bought a nice house for herself in Phoenix or Scottsdale I think, less than a year ago.

And I guess she decided to spend a little of the money she got from Dancing With the Stars on her new chin implant (at least, I *think* that's what she did.) At any rate she does look a little prettier and more television-ready.

Please, oh please, oh pretty please with sugar on top......can the Palin family's 15 minutes be over soon, please. I'm beggin here

Suck to live in a country filled with people who will watch this shit.

The only Palin I'd watch on a reality show is the one with Down's Syndrome*.


*I was going to say "the retarded one" but not only would that be un-PC but it would also be confusing as you still wouldn't know which one I meant.

Moved MPSIMS --> Cafe Society.

I think it's terrible how the media keeps relentlessly hounding Sarah Palin's family by offering them television shows.

Yeah. Leave those poor, unfortunate folks alone. Haven't they been through enough?

The only Palin I'd watch on a reality show......is Michael.

Well, it's on the Biography Chanel, so I don't know how much viewship that gets. Unfortunately, Warhol was off by about a factor of 100. He didn't take cable into account.

[Wile E]

...is Michael.

Yeah, I realized after I posted that there was an entertaining Palin and should have specified "in that Palin family".

[ministryman]

I heard it was going to be called

"Stupid Sh*t My Mom Keeps Saying"......

Apparently she had corrective surgery on her jaw (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110511/ap_en_ot/us_people_bristol_palin). Even so, she couldn't help passing judgement on people who undergo voluntary plastic surgery.

I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere about how it's terrible the American public is determined to keep pulling down their intellect and their short attention span but it's too hard to think of and....ooohh shiney

Yeah, there's nothing left to do now, but wait for "Ow, My Balls!" to premiere.

[Boyo Jim]

In the meantime, we'll have Impaled, Michael Jackson's Autopsy, and Police Chase Videos to keep us interested.

[SeldomSeen]

Wouldn't bother to turn on the TV to watch it. But I am looking foreward to Levi Johnston's forthcoming book.

"Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs," The book may not be any good, but he's got a GREAT title there!

Is it true that Bristol is legally changing her last name to Kardashian?

[joebuck20]

Even scarier is the cover for Levi Johnston's book:

Apparently now, sweet, naive, taken-advantage-of Bristol Palin wants the world to know that the very first time she ever got drunk was the same night that she had sex for the very first time as well, which of course also naturally resulted in her getting pregnant....

I am assuming that her family is looking into a lawsuit against the Mike's Hard Lemonaide people as we speak.

Interesting that it implies she still lives in Alaska - she bought a nice house for herself in Phoenix or Scottsdale I think, less than a year ago. It's up for rent. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gj9vBVBLT9JLNvX3Vrmy_Rlm-h_w?docId=52adf4a8eed2453d8618c3818d2855f8)

You know Sarah has two retarded kids, right? The one with Downs' Syndrome, and the one who volunteered to go to Iraq!

:D

Yup, it was the first time she got drunk, AND she got pregnant, even though she was on the pill AND used a condom. I'm just shocked she didn't go for a nascita virginale excuse. So she's saying Levi date-raped her. Can he claim libel?

And I thought she was a pretty girl stuck in an unfortunate familial situation before the plastic surgery. She looks much much worse now and there goes my sympathy.

Hopefully, after her show tanks and public interest fads, she'll give us the tell-all about Sarah.

We're in Cafe Society, not the Pit. This is inappropriate, as both a political comment and a usage of the word "retarded" that is increasingly provocative. Please be more careful in your choice of language in this venue.
