The "Dancing with the Stars" all-star cast has been announced -- and yes, Bristol Palin is coming back for another spin. "The press is going to talk about me no matter what, so I might as well have fun," Palin said, according to USA Today.

It doesn't hurt having the most influential political figure for a mother. But that does not mean she should be frowned upon just because of her or her mother's political affiliation. I see a lot of fear from left-wingers because of Bristol's popularity. They still haven't been able to drive Sarah away with the childish insults and now they have a younger version rising up. Sucks to be a left wing extremist.

The cow part you got right!!!! That show is nothing more than a populatity contest,and the only reason she placed in the top three,is because "MAMA BEAR",called everyone in the TEA PARTY,to vote for her precious little daughter!!!! I'm not going to waste my time watching that show!!!!

**Starz... to Student 2012/08/01 19:42:18

I agree. They should let the judges do the judging and not friends. She would have been kicked off the first night if they had anything to say about it.

I agree. She had no talent at all and should have been eliminated the very first week, it was pathetic and painful to watch her "TRY" to dance. And I really felt sorry for her partner,

Bristol Palin is the new, less interesting Kim Kardashain, and her mother is the same old media whore she's been from the first time we heard of her.

Lies? Oh, sorry if her words confused you ... but you didn't really read her speeches or books, did you? you just watched the news and SNL and adopted their opinions. Sad, sad, sad, funny little woman.

NO ONE has actually READ her speeches or books. She belongs to the mental masturbation crowd- the anti-intellectual ones who eschew all that fancy readin' and a writin' in favor of the idiot box.

Yes, I am supremely beloved. Mostly because I have too much class to make a sex video or failed VP run and try to prostitute either into some sort of forgettable 15 minutes.

Bristol Palin is leading? Either no one voting has ever watched the show or the tea partiers are the stuffing the ballot box again. She can't dance, is not a star and makes a box of rocks look smart (but then that is an improvement over her mother). Does Dobson run your show? Bristol is back and you had Tom DeLay on while he was awaiting trial on misappropriation of funds. Come on let's have some real stars. I won't be watching until she is gone.
