Bristol Palin to star in her own reality TV show
Bristol Palin is to star in her own reality television show, and producers say she will allow cameras 'exclusive access' into her personal life for the first time.
The small American cable channel BIO said it had ordered 10 half-hour episodes of a documentary series that will follow Palin and her two year-old son Tripp as they move to Los Angeles and work for a small charity there.
Palin, 20, the unmarried elder daughter of Tea Party favourite Sarah Palin, became a celebrity in her own right last year by waltzing her way to the finals of Dancing With the Stars – despite having two left feet.
I'm going to be blunt. This is just surreal. I don't know what is driving B. Palin's popularity and the strange interest in her, that she continues to pop up here there and everywhere. What on earth has she done? Who is she? At least some of these annoying teeny bopper singers have a modicum of musical ability. (I said some.) But with Bristol Palin...there's just something odd about this entire episode. How someone so young, living all the way up in Alaska, ends up relocating solely because of her mother's political career, and who now lives this pseudo-celebrity lifestyle, there are just no words. Is it all just astroturf fame? Or is there really a genuine interest in her by a large segment of the public?
I don't think this kind of artificial lifestyle augurs well for the young Palin, long term. She's making lots of money, but at what cost?
How the scintillating glints of celebrity and wealth ensorcel!
