Jack Stuef, Wonkette blog reports that Bristol Palin had all the fat sucked out from underneath her face and suddenly has a new Jay Leno chin. This allowed her a chance to once again tap some food money from US Weekly, by denying the procedure was plastic surgery. The problem, she says, was that her snowbilly teeth were all screwed up and her jaw was about to rot off or something. Even better!

“Yes,” she admits, “It improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons…so my jaw and teeth could properly realign…I don’t obsess over my face”

Still, “I am absolutely thrilled with the results,” she gushes. “I look older, more mature, and don’t have as much of a chubby little baby face!”

Meghan McCain Blasts Bristol Palin

"Dancing with the Stars" contestant Bristol Palin reportedly was so busy rehearsing that she didn't vote in the recent election. The daughter of former Gov. Sarah Palin was apologetic to her mom, though.


The 20-year-old daughter of former Gov. Sarah Palin, who is in L.A. competing on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, told Inside Edition she forgot to send in her "absentee ballot in Alaska. I'm going to be in trouble. Sorry, Mom!"

Meghan McCain is slamming Bristol Palin for not voting in Tuesday's elections. Appearing on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno, McCain, 26 said, "If you didn't vote in my family that was like bad news. I've been voting since I turned 18."

Ripping on Palin, she added, "I guess it's only important for Bristol Palin to vote for Dancing With the Stars. I think a lot of women worked really hard to give us the right to vote. Anyone that doesn't vote is just ridiculous."

Just because she didn't vote, Palin still has opinions on politics: She thinks her mom should run for president in 2012. "I know that she's great and she'd be great for our country," she said.

Amazing Star Salaries

Ophrah Winfrey, Charlie Sheen, Hugh Laurie

I set out to find out the salary of contestants on "Dancing With the Stars" trying to find out what attracted participants.  It was plain that nonentities like Bristol Palin were looking for a paycheck and possible linkage to a regular hook-up. Stars in the declining years of fame like Florence Henderson and David Hasselhoff probably were looking for an additional fifteen minutes of attention and maybe a renewed interest leading to regular employment.


Each DWTS contestant is paid $200,000 for the season regardless of how long they remain on the show.  First, second and third place winners are paid an additional bonus and the ultimate winner receives a bonus of $100,000 dollars. Not bad for limited talent, a little publicity, and another line on the resume.

As always when surfing the internet, one click leads to another, so let me share some of the interesting information I found.

• Oprah Winfrey gets paid $315 million-a-year for her talk show topping a list of the highest paid talk show hosts in the US, with her staggering wage more than the combined total of the next four top earners, Judge Judy Sheindlin and David Letterman, who earn $45 million and $28 million respectively, ‘Tonight Show’ star Jay Leno on $25 million and Conan O’Brien, who gets paid $10 million.
• Jennifer Lopez will rake in $12 millon per season while Ryan Seacrest paycheck will be $15 million annually, triple his salary from last season.
• Charlie Sheen of "Two and a Half Men"  is paid $1.8 million per episode while co-star Jon Cryer nets $550,000 per episode.
• Law and Order SUV stars Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay both earn $395,000 while David Caruso, CSI: Miami rakes in $375,000.
• Hugh Laurie, Dr. Gregory House earns $400,000 in season five of the award winning series.
•  Jersey Shores Snooki will earn $30,000 pr episode, up from $2,200 in season one.
• NCIS star Mark Harmon makes $325,000 while Michael Weatherly makes under $100,000.

Bristol's Dancing with the Stars

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas

Talk about fifteen minutes of fame, first Levi Johnston gets a reality show and now baby mama Bristol competes on the eleventh season of "Dancing With the Stars". Bristol will partner with two times champ Mark Ballas who is in his 7th season.


Bristol Palin, former first daughter of Alaska, is a "spokesperson" for the prevention of teen pregnancy and for other teen issues. As an advocate for the protection of life, Palin wanted to share her story with other teens who may one day face a similar situation. So, what's the best way to do that? Join a popular T. V. show, make money, and keep your face in the news.

Bristol has moved to Los Angeles, hired a nany for little Tripp, and is rehearsing for the show.  Levi is shocked by the revelation, but wishes Bristol well.

Another 15 minutes of fame "star",Gate crasher and D. C. Housewife Michaele Salahi — yes, the same one who yesterday revealed she’d be auctioning off her infamous red sari — is going to be posing naked for Playboy. How naked?

According to TMZ, the answer is: “full-frontal, birthday suit naked.”


Ain't America wonderful?

Bristol Loves Levi???

"Teen mother Bristol Palin, the daughter of former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Levi Johnston, and their son Tripp are pictured on the cover of Us Weekly magazine released to Reuters on July 14, 2010. The 19-year-old Palin, whose previous engagement to Levi Johnston, 20, was called off after giving birth to their son in December, 2008, told Us Weekly they recently reconnected and got engaged two weeks ago."

Us Magazine release

If you don't know or don't remember Bristol and Levi's rocky story, here a quick recap from the Buzz Log.

"At the 2008 Republican National Convention, they were in love. Then they weren't. Now they're back in each other's arms. Bristol Palin, daughter of ex-governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, announced that she and Levi Johnston, father of her baby, were engaged. The news sparked no small number of searches. Immediately, Web lookups on "bristol palin engaged," "bristol and levi engaged," and "bristol palin pictures" posted triple-digit gains. There was also a healthy dose of cynicism on the Web. Following the announcement, speculation ran wild that a reality show starring the two lovebirds was forthcoming. Also of interest: The revelation that Sarah didn't hear about the engagement until she read about it in the papers. If that's not reality TV gold, we don't know what is. "

The Buzz Log

Now, why do I get the feeling that there's some money involved?  Could it be that the Palin family and Levi hae shown themselves to be driven by the almighty dollar?  Time will tell.  This chapter is just beginning.
