ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure - but not plastic surgery. The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw. The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C. "Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery...

Bristol Palin will be the focal point of a reality series given a 10-episode order by Bio. The series is scheduled to premiere before the end of the year. The untitled project will follow Palin and her son Tripp as they work on a charity while living with Kyle Massey (whom Palin met as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars") and his brother Christopher. Palin first gained national attention as the daughter of 2008 vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and the subsequent coverage of her becoming a teenage single mother. Her fame then increased through her fall 2010 appearance on...

She raked in more than $260,000 as the face of abstinence in one year alone and it seems Bristol Palin has used some of that cash to pay for a Hollywood makeover. The 20-year-old single mother unveiled a new look as she walked the red carpet at the 10th anniversary of the Candies Foundation, which employs her as an advocate against teen pregnancy. Her transformation has sparked internet rumours of plastic surgery, with observers nothing her jawline appears more angular and cheekbones more pronounced. However, it is possible simple weight loss and careful grooming is the cause. The former Dancing...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin is trying to trademark her name. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in November to register the trademark. The federal office is seeking more information and examples of usage. Palin’s attorney said Friday that they have until late spring to provide that information.

Troops Boo Kathy Griffin for Bristol Palin Fat Jokes 296 Comments By Rob Shuter  Posted Dec 6th 2010 11:30AM The troops at the Marine Corps Air Station in California booed Kathy Griffin at 'VH1 Divas: Salute the Troops' for a lame joke taunting Bristol Palin for seemingly being the "only contestant in the history of ['Dancing With the Stars'] to actually gain weight" during the show. As criticism for Kathy mounts a day after the special aired, sources tell me VH1 nearly cut the ugly moment out of the show. "There was talk at VH1 about editing out the joke...

Kathy Griffin hosted the VH1 Divas salute to the troops this weekend, but her “jokes” about Bristol Palin being “fat” fell flat. "She's the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight," Griffin said in reference to Bristol's trip to the finals on “Dancing With the Stars.” Even after the troops' loud booing, Griffin continued the attack. "No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic,” Griffin said. “She's like the white Precious." (Actress Gabourey Sidibe played the role of “Precious,” a 350-pound black woman in...

BRISTOL — America’s most popular radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, blasted Bristol the other day for supposedly making off with some of the $3.3 trillion in loans given to businesses by the Federal Reserve during the recession. While the charge is false – even absurd given the city’s paltry place in the financial arena – Limbaugh didn’t stop there. He described Bristol to his millions of listeners as nothing more than ESPN. “That’s all that’s there: ESPN and a couple of cheap hotels,” Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated show Thursday. That was more than enough to stir Bristol’s...

What's with the recent trend of tagging articles with palin or sarahpalin that have nothing to do with Sarah Palin? If your article has nothing to do with Palin, please don't tag it as such. It's bad enough that journalists use her name to get hits to their articles or as a cheap source of writing material. We don't need that attitude here too. Just because people want to increase traffic to their posts, doesn't mean they should tag their posted articles with palin or sarahpalin. This just clutters the keyword/tagging system.

Is that a rock on Bristol's finger?

Comedienne Sandra Bernhard called Bristol Palin a hooker on Wednesday's "The Joy Behar Show." JOY BEHAR, HOST: After weeks of speculation that the low-scoring Bristol Palin could actually take the "Dancing With The Stars`" win, the nation breathed the sigh of relief last night as Jennifer Grey was crowned the champion (ph). With me now to talk about this and other stories in the news are Sandra Bernhard, comedian and singer, Rebecca Dana, senior correspondent for the Daily Beast, and Andrea Marcovicci, singer and actress. I called you Andrea. Is it Andrea or Andrea? ANDREA MARCOVICCI, SINGER: It`s Andrea. BEHAR:...

"If her name was Bristol Smith or Bristol Jones, she would not be on the show or she would not have gotten this far," he said. "She went from being a bad dancer to a mediocre dancer. But she was not the best dancer."

I’m sure you’ve noticed how humorous, and at the same time pathetic, it’s been to watch the left go crazy about Bristol Palin continuing to remain on “Dancing with the Stars.” Palin is in the top three along with Disney Channel star Kyle Massey and Jennifer Grey of “Dirty Dancing” fame. The show’s season finale will air tonight at 9 p.m. Viewers have voted to keep Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter on the show seven times, despite the fact that neither she nor partner Mark Ballas can compare with the show's better dancers and their judges’ scores consistently reflect that fact....

VOTE FOR BRISTOL PALIN 800-868-3407

What's happened to the voting on DWTS from the East Coast. My wife and I both called and get a message saying the voting in my time zone is closed?? Anyone else smell a RAT?

Just tried to call in from two different phones to vote for Bristol Palin. The first time I called from either phone the message told me I had reached my limit of calls, on my FIRST call. It took me 9 calls on the first phone and 7 calls on the 2nd to get my 10 votes in. Haven't tried the computer yet. Wonder if someone is messing around with the votes?

Tonight is the final chance for the three remaining contestants on "Dancing With the Stars" to impress the viewers at home. As we've seen this season in particular, high scores from the judges may be nice. But, it's the viewers who matter because their votes can make an impact. Going into tonight's season finale are Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey & Bristol Palin. Getting to this point wasn't always a smooth trip. There were some tense moments at the production office for "Dancing With the Stars." ABC says a white powder in an envelope was delivered to the office this past...

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas have received death threats and "Dancing with the Stars" has measurably heightened security ... sources connected with the show tell TMZ. We're told the threats began to come in last week, after Bristol and Mark made the finals. Execs on the show told Mark to stop tweeting because it was inciting people. Mark complied. Sources connected with the show tell us extra security will be on hand tonight for the show. And, if Bristol and Mark head to New York, execs are talking about breaking format and not doing their interview outside in Times Square...

After tonight's final dances, Dancing With the Stars may need to consider a name change. That's because the winner might well be someone who's not much of a dancer and isn't really a star.Seven weeks out of nine, Bristol Palin – 20-year-old "teen activist" and daughter of Sarah – finished in last place with the judges but was saved by viewers' votes, eliminating a string of better dancers and bigger celebrities along the way.
