Why did Bristol Palin decide to sign on for next season's Dancing With the Stars?
"I just wanted to do it because it's so fun," she told UsMagazine.com at a DWTS press conference Monday night. "It's positive and it's a good competition. I wanted to step outside my comfort zone and have a good time."

Her mom, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, was supportive as well.
"She's always been my No. 1 fan," said Bristol, 19, who will dance with two-time champ Mark Ballas. "Of course, she'll be down here [cheering me on]."

But she won't baby-sit grandson Tripp, 19 months, while Bristol is rehearsing. Said Bristol, "She'll be traveling the world doing speeches and stuff."
Bristol said her biggest personal challenge will be "just showing my personality and moving my hips!"
Who is she most worried about on the dance floor? Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey and singer Brandy!
"They both have some dance experience," she said. "But everyone's so good and I'm so happy to be a part of it."
She told Us she was most psyched to meet Florence Henderson, whom she called "an icon."
Added Bristol, "The pro athletes are pretty cool too."

As for those DWTS costumes, Bristol told Us, "We did our title shoot today, so I got all glammed up and stuff, but I'm definitely excited to wear all those. I know that mine will be the most conservative -- I will be the most dressed. That's how I am and that's how I want to dress. But it'll be good, all the rhinestones and spray tans, that will be fun."
Tell Us What You Think
110Sorry...I meant "that's why" not "what".
@ Celeb-- Nice girl? Pretty? You mean the girl that keeps cussing on the show during practice? The one who has a head as big as a stuffed turkey? And I think everyone who posts a comment on this page is smarter than Sarah...Celeb, learn how to spell jealous...oh wait...you must be as stupid as Sarah. That's what a meat head like you would defend Mrs. Potato head and her repulsive daughter. She looks like a pig in heat.
Hmm...She could move her hips while having sex, couldn't she? Unless she laid there like a slab of meat while Levi did all the work. This monster is pathetic...she's the only one who looks like they haven't lost weight on the show...she still has that big potato head and double chin.
She says some pretty remarkable things. First, she is afraid to move her hips, obvious jokes aside, this is just stupid. Second, that her costumes will be more conservative because "that's how she is"? Please, no more talking. Obviously she was without her clothes at some point in order to get pregnant. I hope she gets cut right away so we don't have to hear from her every week about how hard it is to move her hips and how her costume shows too much skin.
she knew how to move her hips enough to get pregnant at 16. i HATE how she parades herself around as a modest, demure, shy little girl when she has a CHILD. i mean really...is anyone buying her schtick anymore? especially looking at who the baby daddy is, and how he's posing for playboy and doing all these crazy things. there is a saying about "the company you keep."
She needs to go back to her home and take care of her brat. She claimed that Levi was all about fame when here she is on this and all the magazines. Yep real hardship teen motherhood is when you get to glam it up in magazines and go to the emmys grubbing the swag w/mummy. Fine example of trailer trash!
she's an attention wh0re just like her mother.
Who's the "fame wh%r$" now? Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black, I think. I sure won't be watching this season. Yawn.
Oh boy...this show is gonna start to go down hill like American Idol...enjoy the ride.
At least you can move your feet dear. Just don't let your dance partner have to push you around like a shopping cart. =)
I am DISGUSTED by this little brat. She whined and cried about how her baby's father only wanted fame and now she is going on DWTS!!! What a complete hypocrite! Who knew getting knocked up at 17 would help you become a star? I hate this little skank!
If I was 25 years younger I would be happy to be with her and have a family. I think she is a sweetheart.
Levi Johnston is a vile little pig.
WOW DID SHE GOT HURT WHILE SHE WAS SELLYING HER BODY. LIKE HER MOTHER SHE IS A REAL PROSTITUTE WHO SPENDS TAXPAYERS MONEY FOR HER OWN USE. I AM NOT EVEN SORRY FOR THIS GIRL
Ugh... we already sent one Palin packing back to AK, just go now and save us all the trouble...
She didn't have any trouble moving her hips with Levi !
She's worried about moving her hips? She obviously didn't have any trouble doing that when she was having sex with Levi. Don't know why she's worrying now about it.
@ Barbara--GET OVER IT ALREADY--@ andi--SHE'S DOING IT FOR MONEY--AND FAME--The BIGGER QUESTION SHOULD BE WHY ARE THESE "REALITY" SHOWS ABLE TO EXIST--AND HOW MANY MORE LOSERS DO WE HAVE TO SEE TRYING TO BECOME "STARS"--I WOULD HOPE NOBODY WILL WATCH ANY OF THESE INCIPID SHOWS--IT'S SO OUT OF CONTROL AND FRANKLY SCARY TO SEE WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS BECOMING!!!
It's called Dancing with the Stars....how is she a star? I guess getting knocked up when you're a teenager makes you a star! done watching the show---what a disgusting example for young girls everywhere...should not be glorified!
HA! HA! Hollywood, she's yours now and you can keep her, we don't want her back.
