Single mom Bristol Palin has landed her own reality TV show
The small U.S. BIO cable channel said on Monday it had ordered 10 half-hour episodes of a documentary series that will follow Palin and her two year-old son Tripp as they move to Los Angeles and work for a small charity there.
Palin, 20, the unmarried elder daughter of Tea Party favorite ghds straighteners show Sarah Palin, became a celebrity in her own right last year by waltzing her way to the finals of “Dancing With the Stars” despite having two left feet.
Late last year she bought a five-bedroom house near Phoenix, Ariz., with her earnings from the show and as a spokeswoman for a teen abstinence campaign group. At the time, she was reported planning to attend college there.
But the as-yet-untitled TV documentary will see Palin moving in with two former child stars, brothers Kyle and Christoper Massey. She and Kyle competed on the same season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
The series will follow her work for an as-yet-unidentified straighteners ghd Los Angeles charity and is scheduled to air in late 2011, BIO channel said.
“Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to,” said David McKillop, executive vice president of programing at BIO Channel.
