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.

I agree with you. If she had any brains, and she does not, she would back down on this offer.

Another woman bashing a Palin - how shocking! You attack her for being dumb and it just makes you sound dumb. Bristol has a good message (before you bash her words, you should read some of them - her book, her speeches, etc. She's quite well-spoken and knowledgeable) and she is attempting to get it out to her audience - young girls, like she was, before they make the same choice she did. She's a much better role model than other celebrities, like Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and others who young girls idolize. I think she's offering them a better alternative.

All you have to do to cancel it in your home is hit the channel button and watch some chicks in New Jersey or some sad women trying to get a millionaire to marry them. Be your own producer.

Kelly was the first winner, but the talent and ability has been upped considerably since then. Will be interesting to see how she competes against some really great dancers.

It's between the Fat one and Alley. Joey always seemed very friendly.
Probably won't watch either way though.

Bristol Palin leading the vote? Really?

Perhaps if it were a vote for "person most picked for controversy" or "person with least 'star' status"...she'd lead those votes easy.
