Looks like Sarah Palin isn't the only Palin who craves media attention. E! Online reports Bristol Palin will be competing on Dancing With the Stars this season. Will she even last as long as Tom DeLay? Have any prominent Democrats been cast for the show? If not, maybe it's because fewer Dems need the image rehabilitation the show can provide.

Also on the new season, according to E!: Mike "The Situation" from Jersey Shore. It would be pretty funny if Bristol and Mike hooked up as a result of the show. Sarah Palin would probably pray every night for a Bristol-Levi Johnston reconciliation.

Good news: Reportedly not on the cast this season: The over-hyped Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky or her chosen one, Roberto Martinez. Who else reportedly made the cut: singer Michael Bolton. Who didn't: Kirstie Alley. The cast will be announced on Monday during "Bachelor Pad." [More...]

Speaking of the Bachelorette, Blair Sabol in New York Social Diary today writes, in her always inimitable style, about the great merchandising hustle evolving from movies like "Eat, Pray, Love" and shows like the Bachelorette. On the latter, she says:

Scarier still is what a friend recently reported to me about "The Bachelorette" and "The Bachelor Pad" (I cant imagine watching either of those TV shows). Apparently these two shows now have websites and stores devoted to shopping their wardrobes. What wardrobes? Spanx underwear, flip flops, crappy jewelry, plastic mini skirts, and bosom baring Baby Doll tops? One store, Alys Grace in San Francisco, even has a department called "Shop What The Bachelorette Shops." And we wonder where great taste has gone.

So now we get to see the proud, beaming Sarah P. in the DWTS audience. Too bad this isn't the season Kelly Osborne is competing -- her and Ozzy seated together would be worth tuning in for.

I wonder if if this is what we'll have to look forward to in 2016. The Dems better hope it's not 2012:

    and not my intention. The target of my post is DWTS and the Bachelorette, both of which I watch every episode of. I'm registering my dis-satisfaction with their choices. As I do every season, and then watch anyway.

    that "The Hoff" David Hasslehoff will also be on DWTS this coming season. I long ago gave up any of the Bachelor type shows, but it amazes me what folks will do to someone they are living in such close quarters on Big Brother. I cant submit this without a mention of America's Got Talent and Nick's wife appearing to be pregnant.
