Bristol Palin Joins ‘Dancing With The Stars’

August 26, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Excuse me, did I miss the time she was actually a “star?” Despite being famous for, well – pretty much nothing except for the nasty baby-mama/daddy-drama going on between her and her ex Levi Johnston – Bristol Palin has joined the cast of the upcoming season of ABC’s ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ set to premiere Sept. 20th with a cast that is said to also includes David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, ‘Jersey’s Shore’ The Situation, and Brandy.

And she claims that Levi is a fame-whore, being was upset with him for wanting to try and achieve fame? Pot? Kettle? Hello?

Per E! Online:

This will be Bristol Palin’s second gig with ABC, having guest starred last month on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It seems this teen mom may be taking a page from Melissa Rycroft’s book, using DWTS to rebound after her recent breakup (with Levi Johnston).

I thought they got the “stars” (cough) for this show from a list of has-been celebrities who want to re-energize their lagging careers. How does Palin fit this description? One has to BE someone before they are considered to be a “has-been.”

Other new names reported to be joining the cast of “DWTS” are former ‘Brady Bunch‘ mom Florence Henderson, ‘Dirty Dancing‘ star Jennifer Grey, ex-NBA star Rick Fox, former NFL star Kurt Warner, and comedienne Margaret Cho.

Sorry ABC, you just lost me. Casting fail!

[Patrick Swayze ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Tribute – VIDEO]

In a touching tribute to the late and great Patrick Swayze, the dancers of “Dancing with the Stars” recreated “Dirty Dancing.”

Via L.A. Times:

“The tribute started out with Chelsie Hightower and Dmitry Chaplin breezing through Swayze’s own “She’s Like the Wind” from “Dirty Dancing,” and then real-life husband and wife Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya performed a romantic duet to “Unchained Melody” from “Ghost.” But the real clincher was the final “Dirty Dancing” routine, set to “Time of My Life,” with Cheryl Burke playing the part of Baby, and Tony Dovolani as Johnny Castle.”

It was also an elimination show and Macy Gray was kicked to the curb after receiving the lowest scores and having dropped an expletive starting with the letter “F” on air. Ashley Hamilton also was cut from the lineup in a double elimination.

Celebrities Twitter Patrick Swayze Sentiments

It is a sad day morning. Patrick Swayze died Monday after battling with pancreatic cancer for just over a year. The “Dirty Dancing” star revealed in March of 2008 that he was diagnosed with the deadly form of cancer. Despite being very ill, he continued working on his latest project for A&E called “The Beast.” It ran for 13 episodes before the network opted not to renew for a second season. Later he would go on to tell Barbara Walters he was hoping to live at least 5 more years, but would realistically get two. Sadly, at the tender age of 57, he passed away surrounded by loved ones.

“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,” said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf.”

Personally one of my favorite films he brought life to was “To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.” He will always be my Ms. Vita Boheme.

Celebrities have also jumped on Twitter to talk about the loss of this great actor.
