DWTS Snags Bristol, Situation

Not to mention the Hoff, Jennifer Grey ... Michael Bolton?

(Newser) Dancing With the …Trainwrecks? Yep, Bristol Palin, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and David Hasselhoff are among the more infamous members of the newest Dancing With the Stars lineup. Don’t worry: It does get classier. How can it not, when it includes ‘90s crooner Michael Bolton? And fellow darling of that era Jennifer Grey? (That's right, Baby.)

The rest of the Stars, who you can catch on the Sept. 20 premiere, are:

  • The Brady Bunch’s Florence Henderson
  • retired quarterback Kurt Warner
  • comedian Margaret Cho
  • former NBA player Rick Fox
  • Disney star Kyle Massey
  • singer Brandy Norwood
  • Hills star Audrina Patridge
The casting agent called the crew her "dream team" and "the most bizarre and yet entertaining kind of dinner party." Deena Katz shares a Bristol tidbit, too, by way of the LA Times: "She's the only one that when I asked her to join the show, she packed up her truck and drove all the way from Alaska."

I thought the show was "Dancing With The Stars"? What kind of star is she? A young lady who had a child out of wedlock; and her mother just happens to be a former governor who didn't even finish her term as governor? What is this world coming to? DWTS needs to change the name of the show to Dancing With Whoever Is In The Limelight. I don't know if I will watch this season because you are taking away from what used to be a good show. I'm disappointed.

Just more of the Palin's bullshit.

What could possibly be 'infamous' or trainwrecky about Bristol Palin, other than liberals hate her because of who her mom is? And yes, hate is the proper word, no matter how much liberals protest. Or even the Situation, sounds like all he's doing is capitalizing on a moronic society ...
