Bristol Palin makes her acting debut on tonight's ABC Family drama series, The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
But don't expect her to line up any more acting gigs in the future.

Asked if she wants to pursue an entertainment career, she tells UsMagazine.com, "Not acting. I like doing speaking engagements and stuff like that. Right now I'm just focused on raising Tripp," her 2 1/2-year-old son with Levi Johnston.
Still, Palin, 19, says she was happy to film the episode of Teenager.
She appears as a friend of Amy (Shailene Woodley) at a music program for teen mothers in New York.
"I didn’t have many lines or anything like that," says Palin. "I just hope that this show opens up a dialogue between parents and teens -- and teens amongst themselves -- about the consequences of teen pregnancy, sex in general and relationships."

Tell Us What You Think
58Yea, sure you don't...uh huh...
I would love to see a woman President in the White House. At this point they can't do any worse than some of the men who have held office.
I guess you can't admit when you are wrong. Idiot.
That makes, "OH, two or three million of US!" Stay home and babysit YOUR CHILD AND your MAN CHILD boyfriend!
The point is the Palin women, I won't judge the men since they haven't said much, are brainless and make money like any tabloid hungry reality stars. Sarah Palin didn't know the true duties of a VP and couldn't debate or give interviews. Bristol is famous because her mom is stupid and she got knocked up. Neither of those women deserve what they've gotten financially.
The actual quote is: "They are our neighbors. You can actually see Russia FROM LAND HERE IN ALASKA." Palin NEVER SAID SHE COULD SEE RUSSIA FROM HER HOUSE OR FROM HER WINDOW. Tina Fey changed the quote and now idiots like YOU believe Palin actually said this. Google the sound bite and you will see how wrong you are.
@Rick Patel, talented? Did you see her on Secret Life? She was so wooden and stiff and robotic. She should never act again.
you are so wrong it was Sarah Palin who said she could see Russia.... Tina Fey made it the joke it is. Comedians work with what is already out there they do not make things up like Sarah Palins rapid fans want to believe, so please check your facts before you try to change history. Look it up, Grace.. and her daughter is riding in on the coattails of a quitter and a loser. Quit being Governor to make money and lost the VP election, now its all about who can pay her fees.
Why is US magazine so interested in the fact the Bristol Palin is a single mother. She isn't the first or the last. I think US mag should focus on the single teen mothers who are doing it all by themselves, working and etc.. Not someone whose mother was the govern and now she is a celebrity--I think is all about make $$$$$. They don't need anymore $$$. Focus on the ones that don't have any $$$ & are struggling to make it with or without their parents on their side.....
Shes really cute, and is trying to better herself by admitting that she made a mistake. Shes hardly ever in the tabloids or out partying..she raises her child and takes responsibility for her actions. I thinks shes doing a great job!
sheryl, sarah palin never claimed to see russia. that was tina fey on snl, you brainless twit. if you're going to condemn someone for saying something, at least make sure they actually said it instead of jumping on the bandwagon. and bristol has no impact on teen pregnancy. teens were getting pregnant long before her and they will long afterwards. if anything, she was a glaring example of... being a real teen. no matter how hard one's parents try to instill life lessons and curtail painful mistakes, a teen will do whatever they want, thinking that they are invincible.
Bristol could take not only some acting lessons but life ones. From someone like Melissa Newman for instance granted she's part of a Dynasty as both her parents are academy award winning actors. infact the last film in which she appeared she played the younger version of her mothers character for which Joanne was nominated for her last of 4 career best actress Oscars the 1990 Merchant Ivory classic Mr & Mrs Bridge
..we all make mistakes at least she's trying...I'm GOP all the way but Palin and her family??? Don't want to see them anywhere NEAR the White House unless they're driving by...stick to public appearances.
Republicans are such hypocrites..this chick was a freaking teenager knocked up and they try to portray her like she's some one to freaking look up to...if this had been a Dem's daughter freaking Limbaugh and the others wouldn't shut up about it...
@sodakhick...you apparently are just that...a HICK. That JOKE of a president Bush is the reason some are "trying to pay their rent". He like most Republicans turn their heads while Wall Street and the rest of rich get richer and the poor get poorer all at the expense of the middle class who really carries the burden of it all!!! Obama had a heck of a mess to clean up from day one!!!! Don't even get me started on our poor troops (God bless them) and this "war"...
Good, cause you have no talent. Now go take care of your kid and shut up.
Let me tell you, this cracker would go Hollywood in a minute if she had the opportunity. I cannot believe she gets $30,000 per speech. I am ten times more interesting and articulate than her.
AMY - LOL agreed!
Beautiful Bristol Palin is a talented, promising young actress, and the eldest daughter of superstar celebrity Gov. Sarah Palin.
"I don't want to be an actress. I just want to be a howling useless hypocrite like my mother. And I got started by doing campaigns for teens to practice abstinence!"
