The fact that she seems to be forced to mention her mother every few seconds, the chunky midsection, her clear discomfort in doing the dance moves, have made me feel sorry for Bristol for the first time in many months.
I hope that Bristol was not subjected to all of this just to put to rest the rumors that she was pregnant, because for me they did no such thing. Check around the 1:30 mark and tell me what you think.
Update: I think that some of the commenters are purposefully trying to make this appear to be all about the normal fluctuations in weight. But it is NOT. It is about a very specific, and prevalent rumor that has been repeated in the Valley and around Anchorage for a number of months now.
By the way THIS is a picture of Bristol in May of 2009, around five months after Tripp was born.
And here she is earlier this year in the ABC program "Secret Life of the American Teenager.
I think she's preggars too. Her belly is very rounded.
ReplyDeleteThey were way too kind to her. And a score of 6-6-6, no less! (although Mama "Brady", Florence Henderson, got the same score soon after. Is it possible they will get death threats if they say anything honest? I also didn't like her bringing Levi's name into the conversation on national TV, in a disparaging way. It was unnecessary, and spiteful. Not pretty, Bristol! If she really wants to "turn the page" in her life, she'll have to let go of her bitterness.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she feels as uncomfortable as people think. I think she is genuinely enjoying this experience. I also think the reason for mentioning Sarah so much is to discuss why she is famous while helping to give her her voice voice. I really don't think the pregnancy rumors have anything to do with this - not with how casting works.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad that her body is constantly criticizes when she's not even remotely fat. This is what's wrong with America and the media. ANyone in public view who isn't Audrina's size is called obese. And we wonder why 12 yr olds starve themselves and have issues for life.
Bristol is a lovely young lady who is way out of her safezone. Ballroom is ridiculously hard. That performance kicked ass for someone so shy. Did you catch others? The fact that Bristol wasn't even remotely the worst and the only non performer speaks volumes.
Stop, stop. Not cool. I don't care how fat or how thin she is.
ReplyDeleteOh, one more thing...she DID appear pregnant, and since stranger things have happened in thePlain household, I'm not discounting the possibility. And, every time Mark Ballas tried to grab her around her stomach in the red dress, she pushed him away. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteBristol is a big beefy gal, who looks even bigger in that shiny red sparkly sac of a dress. She might be pregnant, and she might just look that way. We have seen pictures of a slim, trim Bristol, so there is something clearly going on. If not a baby, then it is an eating or drinking disorder. Or Bristol is on the pill, and it adds weight.
ReplyDeleteAll that Bristol's appearance on DWTS does is send the message that it being an unwed teen mother has been very profitable for Bristol. While Bristol makes hundreds of thousands of dollars exploiting her unprotected sexual activity and the result of it, other kids who follow her example won't get booked on DWTS or asked to pose for Harpers or any other magazine. They will be looking for a public aid, something that Bristol's mother is against. The message of seeing Bristol glamorized and prettied up for TV sends one message: Hypocrisy! I had a kid when I was a kid, but you shouldn't. Now, what will I wear on DWTS next week?
One trick pony comes to mind. The whole dance was based on her mom. Now that they've done that, what else is there? I think the funniest/saddest part is the question "you were in AK, now here in Hollywood blah, blah, blah, so Bristol how has your life changed? Bristol "Alot". Good god, not the wittiest, most sparkling personality, is she. Even her dance teacher was laughing at her answer.
ReplyDeleteShe ain't preggers, just tubby.
ReplyDeleteOT, Gryphen, can you put Syrin's new site back on your blogroll? She was only at Typepad briefly. Now she is at http:///www.aksyrin.wordpress.com . I use your site as a jumping off point for all the others.
ReplyDeleteA lot of BP goes a little way...
ReplyDeletePause the video at 1:35.
ReplyDeleteIt's more like "Mama told me not to use a condom."
to 5:01, how was that bitter? It was an honest answer. How many times have parents not liked their child's choice of date? It shows realness. It's also something the whole world knows already. no one truly believed they would make it, or even were a happy couple. esp since they were never exclusive
ReplyDeleteShe did not try to push him away. Some people are not touchy feely. and he is a VERY touchyfeely person, to the point of freaky. She looked fine with that - indifferent even. Besides, when one has a non-flat stomach, one is significantly more uncomfortable when it's grazed or referenced. Thats just common sense.
ReplyDeleteAt least we know where she gets her round face from. She is the spitting image of Sarah when Sarah was a teenager. Plump lil girl next door
If the Palin's including Bristol can dish it, they better be able to take it, when they thrust themselves into the public eye. It's common law. Bristol is what, 20? She is fat. And her lack of talent and effort shows this was all about the money. The price of fame, Paylins! Who is the bigger Ricky Hollywood now? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI thought there were several couples who didn't do so hot on last night's show, and she wasn't worse than any of them.
ReplyDeleteWhere was Sarah? I thought I read she was going to be there. She will be there before Bristol is off, though. The whole thing is rigged no matter who is on it anyway... look what happened with Kate Gosselin last season. RATINGS.
I read a live blog about the show and people were saying "leave Bristol alone, she's young" etc... OK, but she is over 18 and a mother... when does the responsibility and acting like an adult start then? (Not with the Levi reference!) I thought part of why you don't want to be a teen mom is that it makes you sacrifice the teenage fun. Right, abstinence crusader?
I couldn't believe her "size does matter" t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteHer persona is very trashy, re-virginized, or not.
Loved the 6-6-6 score--I cracked up. Her belly
is at 1:35, and I thought WTF? when I saw it
on the big TV in my living room. It seems
like someone is trying to make her look as
ugly as possible, as thick as possible, and as
trampy as possible.
Last week Bristle said her "family" would be there to support her. This week her mother Tweets madly that they're having a "party" at the Palins' but there is no sign of the Palins at the Palins', only their hangers-on ....
ReplyDeleteso where were the Palins?
She looks preggers to me but I can't fathom how she could shake her hips like that if she were.
ReplyDeletePoor Mark Ballas. Trying even on performance night to engage her and keep her smiling. One thing that really bugs me about DWTS is how the pro dancers, when paired with someone like Bristol who can do little but count basic steps (1,2,chachacha), toss her hair and attempt to shake her bootay, wayyyy over-dance and emote to try to compensate. Bristol's goal is to make through week 2 and collect $100,000. After that, she's going to hope she gets voted out, or there'll be an injury. I agree with the other commenter about Bristol not wanting Mark to touch her belly. In the practice videos and in the performance, she pulls away when he tries to put his hand on her stomach or around her front, which is what the dance moves require. She wants him to touch only her hips. Soemthing there she doesn't want him to feel? He's been practicing with her and touching her more intimately than almost anyone but a boyfriend would for weeks. If there's a baby bump there, I bet he knows it.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that this was the first time I have ever seen that child look happy! That was a genuine smile when she was dancing. I was thinking when watching that video that she must have a pretty awful life, you know? She is still very young, and her face just lit up when she was dancing. She couldn't fake the smile. That was real, and I can not ever remember seeing her smile with her eyes before.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think she has some problems to work through, and it would not surprise me a bit. Think of her homelife, or what there was of it. I honestly feel a little sorry for her.
"I can't fathom how she could shake her hips like that if she were."
ReplyDeleteShe wasn't shaking her hips, she was shifting her weight from foot to foot. The hips didn't move. Why are all right wing Christians so stiff in their hips, remember Tom Delay?
Response to 5:34....
ReplyDeleteIf the custody agreement limits Levi from saying anything bad about Bristol, then it goes both ways. She could have referenced her history with no mention of his name, and we all would have known what she was talking out. This isn't the first time in the past couple of months she's mentioned him by name, and it seems an unnecessary provocation. Nobody is standing up for him, because he has been vilified by the whole country. WHY? What has he done? He said the truth in his Vanity Fair interview. The mistake he made was rescinding that, and claiming he may have lied...and I believe that was ONLY to be able to see his son. Sorry...she's not getting sympathy from me.
She appears as a chubby teenager; seems unlikely she would be pregnant and put herself out there to the world as she is on DWTS. She was much better than I expected on the dance floor and seems like once she gets comfortable, she'll be fine out there. but really, who cares? Where will this lead her? And, as an "advocate" for teen pregnancy, this seems like the wrong message to be sending; the life of the average teen mom doesn't look anything like Bristol's life. And where was Mama Grizzly?
ReplyDeleteI believe the Palins--at least Sarah--were nowhere near the staged living room party in Wasilly. Sarah cannot ever be too far away from the limelight. She was probably lurking somewhere nearby where DWTS was taped, perhaps backstage.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I dislike Bristle, I have to say two things:
ReplyDelete1. Yeah, enough with the weight thing. Clearly, she struggles with it like most of us do. Yes, she appears heavier than most girls on television but like Anon at 5:01 says, *this* is why eating disorders can happen.
"I feel bad that her body is constantly criticizes when she's not even remotely fat. This is what's wrong with America and the media. ANyone in public view who isn't Audrina's size is called obese. And we wonder why 12 yr olds starve themselves and have issues for life." - Agreed, big time.
2. I didn't think she was half bad all considered. Even if I practiced eleventy hours a day, I would be scared as shit getting up there so I give her props for trying. She's not a celebrity used to being on stage and that shows.
Not an apologist for the Bristle by any means but lending some balance here. I'll be interested to see how she improves (or doesn't!) as the weeks go by.
Kathryn, the giant smile is a necessary component of Latin dances (you lose points for not smiling). Tomorrow night it's ballroom (Viennese Waltz), which doesn't allow smiling.
ReplyDelete"I've always listened to my mom growing up, but there have been times that I haven't."
ReplyDeleteObviously, this young woman's not entirely clear on the meaning of "always."
it's easy to dance and shake hips even when pregnant. I remember dancing at a party when I was 9months along and I could hear the water/fluid moving!
ReplyDeleteThere is no excuse for her big belly except for pregnancy. She was skinny the summer of 2008 after the 1st child and she was skinny again after Tripp. She is pregnant.
I will never feel sorry for this grifting family or anyone in it who is an adult.
ReplyDeleteThey're hypocrites and liars.
I figured if she ended up doing DWTS, the rumors weren't true. Almost every picture, video, etc that I've seen has said otherwise. There were quite a few times in the rehearsal video I saw what could be a bump, not just the time you pointed out. There was an article in the Daily Mail (http://tinyurl.com/28bhu8z) with a frontal shot, and her abdomen is definitely rounded.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see the update about this not being a normal fluctuation in weight. We saw how 'quickly' she slimmed down after Tripp, and she's supposed to be dancing all these hours a day- you'd be losing weight, not gaining it! If she starts to lose weight and she is pregnant, it will be even more obvious then.
Agree with anonymous at 5:51. That is why they put her in a fringed dress. With all the fringe moving it looks like her movements are much more natural and fluid. She doesn't move her hips well, or shimmy her shoulders well. She had help from her dress. If she had been in something tight & fitted it would have looked completely different. As to her genuine smile, I didn't see it. She did smile a lot, but she looked nervous, not natural & happy. Her partner & dress made her look good.
ReplyDeleteBill Clinton said some interesting things on GMA this morning
ReplyDeleteOkay, I can't get past the song choice...that's HILARIOUS. Who picked that?
ReplyDeleteI thought she did all right but I don't watch the show and I sure as hell am not going to start now. There's a part of me that feels very bad for Bristol--I know from personal experience that having a narcissistic personality disordered parent is a very painful thing. She can do nothing without her mother's shadow looming over her, not even this.
In response to where are the Palins:
ReplyDeleteSaturday Todd was at a rally thing in Oregon
Also Saturday, Willow and friends were at the Palin house getting ready for homecoming. Sarah was included in pics
In the tweeted photo, there was at least one person not fully pictured (only an arm was seen to the right)
Piper in direct back under the tv, I have no doubt Sarah took the picture.
April Morlock was in the picoff center right sitting on floor.
Willow may have been with a cousin or friends but she enthusiastically responded on FB to vote for BRistol
Ivy was seen a little away from Bristol during press photos.
Trig was probably with Greatgrandma.
Todd and Track were probably having some beers or fishing
Was that her "modest" costume? That dress
ReplyDeletewas sky high. Is it the lack of boobage that
makes it modest? Is that like being a little
bit pregnant? Or 1/2 a virgin?
I agree Kathryn she looks very happy in the practice, not as much in the live performance. I never comment on Bristol but I really think you hit it in the head Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteI would only hope that this exposure can help open her eyes to the rest of the world outside of her family. I really think she needs to get out and learn how to live and work for what she has, on her own.
This girl has no idea how to be independent and as long as she is in the same situation she is in she will always be dependent on either her parents or some man.
Okay, lets put it another way:
ReplyDeleteIf she was pregnant in 2007, 2008, and now 2010, and got away with the first one, she probably feels very secure that she can get away with this one.
If most, if not all of the things that Gryphen and others have written are true, Bristol is loving this and will laugh all the way to the bank.
I don't feel sorry for her one bit. She is constantly in the limelight and enjoys it.
I think her Anchorage job is a cover up and hopefully the truth will come out very soon.
At least the mystery of her job at the derm office has been solved: the gal doing the interviewing (don't usually watch so I don't know the names) asked something about her receptionist job and Bristol answered in the affirmative.
ReplyDeleteGRyphen, She looks pregnant, but I think you are chasing a false rumor. Though they are crazy, there are legal ramifications for BRistol to speak on abstinence, under contract for Candies, if she were indeed pregnant. It was reported that she did have a speaking engagement a few weeks ago while she was in the midst of rehearsal for DWTS. The Palins have no shame. But, they don't like to give back money.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with everyone that thinks she did well. As a younger person I thought that she would knock the older folks out of the park. Not so. She has no dancing skills. He did all of the work and she just kind of shook everything. I thought that youth was on he side. Guess not.
ReplyDeleteWell....poor kid is always gonna be living in mama grizzlys shadow.
ReplyDelete@ 1:34 she looks preggers to me and it looks like she is wearing something to hold it in...her underalls are showing....
ReplyDeleteAgree she looks pregnant, but isn't that a very risky high-exertion commitment for possibly many weeks further into pregnancy? And if she is preggers, as the weeks roll by won't she just become more obviously so? Seems odd to put herself firmly in the public eye in skimpy outfits it's true.
ReplyDeleteHer condition is much more obvious when she is wearing the green tank top at 1:36.
ReplyDeleteI think her uterus is an empty as her little brain.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I personally would not want to dress up in clothes that were clearly suppose to represent my MOTHER before ripping them off and shaking my ass. Ick! Ick! Ick!
ReplyDeleteAll the hand gestures, emoting, tossing her hair and shaking her bust/butt was supposed to enhance what was a rather simple dance routine.
She wasn't just awful, but she wasn't particularly good either.
Her performance looked forced and her partner was dancing like a maniac to give the number more motion and visual interest.
As for her body shape; VERY ODD. Dancing every day (and eating moderately) should have really enabled her to drop weight and tone up to be in her best shape ever. And she wasn't.
I'm just disappointed that Cho attempted to inject a comedy skit into her dance routine. She came out looking fantastic. She was very graceful, and for once, I think she felt like the pretty girl. Then she had to spoil it with the fake costume entanglement. Why on earth she chose that costume with those awful wings is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteShe actually looked like a dancer, whereas Bristol looked like a girl who was trying hard to count the steps and follow. She did well, but she was no Cho.
The judges scores were not reflective of dancing ability.
No one should feel sorry for her. So many posters claim that she is a victim of her mother. She has made these choices for herself. No one could have forced her to go on DWTS. In an stunning show of hypocrisy, she claims her life has been "spread out in the tabloids" with the visual of the People Magazine cover for which she was reportedly paid $100,000. She continues to make disparaging remarks about the father of her child. If anyone out there thinks this girl doesn't know exactly what she is doing they are naive. She is building her "brand." Expect to keep seeing lots & lots of Bristol.
ReplyDeleteBristol is being well paid for DWTS. She might hear/read the unflattering comments about her dancing, but she does NOT care. The ego and the bank account will remain intact.
ReplyDeleteFor a kid with no performing experience and no obvious talent, she did fine. If I were her, I'd make as much money as possible from that gig and then STAY in LA, as far from the rest of the tribe as possible.
ReplyDeleteShe's no longer a 'child'...she's an adult. A pregnant adult.
ReplyDeleteThe link from the last DWTS post from emrysa clearly shows she's pregnant. What new drama awaits us that will force her to 'quit' the show. omg.

All of this discussion about whether it's polite to criticize Bristol's appearance or her weight. Of course it is; she wanted to be on a much-watched tv dhow. To quote her famous mother, "buck up or stay in the truck." If Bristol can't take the criticism, stay off of magazine covers and tv. And, for god's sake, stopping dissing Levi. Everything is taped, recorded, cached and replayed. Why would she want her child to hear her speak so badly about his father (assuming that Levi is Tripp;s father). It means that Bristol is still an immature teen who wasn't ready to get pregnant or enter into a serious relationship. As for Pailn's bots, it applies to them too. Sarah puts her family out there on public display, inviting comments. If you don't like what other people say and think about Sarah, please remember the brave troops fighting to defend someone's right to express their opinion. Not just your opinion, any opinion. Buck up, shut up or I'll lock you in the truck.
ReplyDeletewhat makes you think she is or will always be dependent on her mother or a man? She certainly has never depended on Levi except when he supplied her with Tripp. She may be riding Sarah's coattails but the casting crew came to her. Ivy is her PR person and friendly chaperone. It's a family affair. Always has been. They'll defend each other until the end. Because thats what families do. Do you really think MEghan McCain thinks her father wouldve made a great president?
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:23 am
ReplyDeleteNo disrespect--but why should we accept as truth that you know the whereabouts of all the Palins on a given day? If you were privy to that information, that would put you pretty close to their inner circle, and if you are part of their inner circle, perhaps you are saying what the Palins would like everybody to believe? So, I'm still not sure Palin was in Wasilla.
She is pregnant!
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest, shall we? She's not fat. The only reason I look at her midsection is to speculate on whether there is or was a baby growing in there recently.
ReplyDeleteAs for her performance: her makeup was garish, her dress was ugly, her hair was wild, she did very little actual dancing, she mostly stood still and shook something, her "intro" (sitting on the stairs) was longer than anyone else's, which suggests she needed a shorter routine.
All of this means the choreographer was trying to limit the amount of movement she did and draw attention away from her lack of grace.
She "did well," only in the sense that she didn't fall or throw up or break an ankle. The same can be said about her mother in the VP debate.
And, I'm sorry, but has she ever said anything positive in public about Levi, the father of her child?
She lacks, not only grace, but class. She's a true Palin.
Against my better judgment, I watched part of the video. Bristol wasn't terrible or good. She was just OK. I really do not think she is pregnant at this time. She looks like a girl who had a baby (or 2), and never did anything to get back in shape. After you have a baby, it's important to exercise and try to get those muscles back in shape. Maybe those muscles are really stretched out...who knows. I do know that I see many post baby teens in my area that look very similar. They never regain their youthful shape, and look like dumpy middle aged women at the ripe old age or 18 or 19...much like Bristol. She's midly attractive now, because she is young. In a few years, she'll be an out of shape lumpy old 25 year old if she isn't careful. She does not have the looks that will improve with age. She did lose the baby weight a few times, but I think she is most likely an emotional eater and battles her weight all the time. I would not be surprised if she is a binge eater...hell I would be too if I always had to measure myself by my narcissistic famous mother.
ReplyDeleteI think the most amazing thing is that there were no Palins or friends in attendance to offer support. It speaks volumes as to how unsupportive as a family they are. It's DWTS tradition to cut away to the family and friends but the Palins are so narcissistic they couldn't be bothered? Very sad and speaks volumes about how dysfunctional they are. Almost makes me feel sorry for her but hope this expose to real people in the real world helps her break free from the pack of jerks she's had to live with.
ReplyDeleteTwo things:
ReplyDelete1) Bristol is a LIAR like her mother so I cut her no slack until she stops lying about her hard life and how she has no help with Tripp...
2) The Palins will say...she CAN'T be pregnant, she was on DWTS. Because that is what you all are saying!
(.. .her clear discomfort in doing the dance moves, have made me feel sorry for Bristol for the first time in many months...)
ReplyDeleteYa feel sorry for her? Maybe refreshing your memory will solve your problems?
Bristol keeps Tripp away from his other grandma, auntie and othe releatives because of the mean girl steak she inherited from her mother. She tries to control the Johnston family by using Tripp. In order to make money, Bristol is the only one who can appear in magazines or other media with Tripp. Bristol has not grown up yet.
with Tripp.
Ok, I'm going with not preggers, just chunky. The pg rumors started back on 5/5/10 with that awful flower dress she wore for a Candies appearance. So if it was true that she was preggers in May, she would be at almost 8 months by now (assume showing at 3 months, plus 5 months later brings us to today). She has terrible posture, rounded shoulders, is sway backed and what my grandmother would call "an unfortunate lump of a girl", but nope not preggers.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I watched half of the show last night. Missed BP...darn....but did get to see some images of her. She does not look chubby. She looks like someone who is 4-5 months pregnant. Very soon her belly is going to be really obvious as happens with most woman at about six months.
ReplyDeletePS....the only think=g modest about her outfit was the lack of cleavage!
Didn't ya just love her modest little red number she was wearing?
ReplyDeleteShe goes on stage looking like the little naughty librarian wearing a modest outfit, then bammm, she is ready to go pole dancing!
Enough already. She is PREGNANT! Probably wearing a brand new Spanx everyday she is being filmed.
ReplyDeleteNo she didn't do terrible and deserved the 666. Ha!
Yes people, keep her on the show by voting for her because she'll either quit like mommy dearest or it will be glaringly obvious to the world she is knocked up when the Spanx can't hold it in anymore. I say another month as she will be about 5 months pregnant and that is when the baby bump appears, Spanx or no Spanx.
Get knocked up out of wedlock, get paid to shake your ass on TV. Those are some nice family values on display. Can all unwed teen moms get this deal or is it only the province of the white daughters of 'Christian Conservative (hahahaha)' mouthpieces?
ReplyDeleteIf she is pregnant, in honor of the way her body's shaped, I think the next baby should be called 'Tank.'
I was a high school teacher and I saw a lot of girls with rounded abdomens. It's where a lot of girls carry their weight.
ReplyDeleteBut, what struck me was the fact that Bristol looked significantly heavier after weeks of rehearsal. Part of it is the contrast between her & Mark, because he's so slight. Seriously, they should have paired her with someone taller and bulkier. But even accounting for that, she just looked big and not particularly graceful. I didn't find her or The Situation fun to watch. Margaret Cho wasn't the best, but at least she brought a little oomph to it!
Regarding the fringed dress; I agree with Anon5:51AM and Anon6:15AM - that style of dress did miracles in hiding her shape and making her movements look more fluid.
ReplyDeleteHad she been in a leotard with a few sequins, she would have look far more chunky and stiff.
If Bristol's attire is considered a "modest" costume in the Palin/Heath clan, so wonder there hasn't been much pre-marital abstinence in that bunch since about 1949.

Exactly and that goes for all those who are boohooing Gryphen, when they put themselves out there and STILL expect not to be criticized at all (but fwiw, I still kinda hate when anyone is made fun of for their weight, but when you have people who have prob. lied about pregancies/abortions and what not, it makes sympathy a little harder to come pass)
I have a dance background- the girl did nothing, her partner did all the work. Love that they go a 666. Tell me that was not preplanned? She does look preggers, but I am guessing she's just fat. And yes, she is wearing her mothers spanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is inconsequential.
ReplyDeleteRe: pregnant or not.
ReplyDeleteIf she is, then Mama wins by "proving" that the Palin women can fool anyone about being pregnant or not or for how long.
If she's not, then Mama wins and gets to throw another dagger at the media.
Mean girls are good at these games...they invented them.
During the actual performance could Bristol's boobs been made to look bigger to further hide the round belly spot? The dress was also designed for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind: Sarah would do ANYTHING to become president. ANYTHING!!!
Anon at 6:39 AM, I was mowing 1 acre of lawn at 6 months with a push mower as well as edging the same property. I showed plenty of baby, what with having a short waist. Believe me my husband got MAX shit for it but I wanted to keep in shape and would not let him do the yard work.
ReplyDeleteUp until the week before my due date I was at the gym lifting weights, doing the stair machine, and walking. The only thing I could NOT do was sit ups. I was 31 when I had my daughter, WAY older than Bristol is now or when she had her first kid (which ever one that is....)
The only time I thought she looked "a little pregnant" was in the green t-shirt. In the black t-shirt she didn't look pregnant at all. If she is pregnant with her second, or most likely third child, she will start to show more quickly. I think we would be seeing a much bigger baby bump by now.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the date the ABC program "Secret Life of the American Teenager" was filmed? She does look pregnant now. She also looks like she is puffy from what she takes to get through her life. I think she was pregnant with Ben Barber's fetus. She may use the morning after pill. Something is definitely going on that is a well kept secret. That whole Bristol/Levi renewed romance is a mystery without answers. She could be someone that repeatedly gets pregnant. I knew a girl like that. It is a deep, deep, deep rooted psychological problem. The girl had to have sex but sex was dirty, unless it was to procreate. It wasn't so much about having a baby, it was about not feeling dirty and being fruitful in the biblical sense to ease her guilt. Bristol has some kind of problem that is not fully revealed yet. I don't know she will give birth early next year.
ReplyDeleteGryphen and others, unless you have irrefutable proof that Bristol is pregnant, (like another poster said) buck up or shut up. Provide proof or let it go, already Jeez. It makes you look creepy.
ReplyDeleteBristol looks EXACTLY the same now as she did a few months ago when she appeared with Levi in US magazine. If she were pregnant, she would be considerably larger by now, and probably 5-6 months along.
Bristol is no longer "high school skinny" or high school age, body metabolisms change once we get out of our teens, unless you idiots are all too old to remember that age. There are many possible reasons other than PREGNANCY for weight gain.
Being in LA with a toddler it must not be easy to stick to a strict diet. I have said this before and it bears repeating, Bristol's weight gain can be attributed to being on birth control pills, anti-depressants, or just laziness, but I would rule out pregnancy. ABC would not allow her on that show if she were pregnant...I am sure they require signed medical waivers to cover their asses on a show that requires this level of physical activity. Think about it rationally.
You know I am not a Palin fan, but this pregnancy speculation is getting out of hand. And to the anon who thinks u have to be in the inner circle to know what has been posted here....obviously you don't go on facebook. It is amazing what you can find out about people.
I vote Not Pregnant. Yes, she looks pregnant in the green tank top. But in all the other outfits, her stomach is nearly flat. I think she was just bloated that day (big lunch? PMS?). She has given birth twice, so her abdominal muscles are lax and prone to let her stomach pop out more easily than people who haven't given birth twice.
ReplyDeleteI think Bristol looks very chunky but I'm not sure about pregnant. Wouldn't she be showing a lot more now since she has already been pregnant a couple of times? The girl doesn't have a lot going for her.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it ok for her to speak disparaging about Levi? That's not a very Christian trait. I think she is a fake and will be found out soon enough.
Remember how TIGHT that dress was when she was on Jay Leno?
ReplyDeleteEven my spouse said "spanks".
How foolish to let it all hang out on the rehearsal tape.
This is OBVIOUSLY simple weight gain.
When young women put on a few pounds their stomach doesn't start expanding from the top.
Bristol's stomach protrudes further than her breasts, and THAT happens when your pregnant.
It is as obvious as the nose on your face.
She was the only one who couldn't speak to the camera, they had to put video slides together while she spoke in the background.
I see she still claims to be working at a doctors office.
Just like her mother, she's a liar AND a moron.
"Come on.... give me a break about looking a bit hefty".
ReplyDeleteI had 2 kids in 2 years and I go cut off from my moms diet pills. I get the munchies every once in a while, and I still like eating piazza at least one a day.
Chunky Monkey
I thought she was gonna shake that baby right out of her baby carriage.
ReplyDeleteHer score was 666? Really?
ReplyDeleteWow
Ohiovoter
I get the image that she is going from being her mother to coming out to be be her own person. I don't get why the harlot image and what else does that egg like big red thing represent? What teen would chose to go from bad to worse? Had she come out improved and something to represent a young woman, that would have made more sense. Whatever she meant to portray it came out that she is a tool and more stuck to Mommie than ever. Drugs are used to manipulate performers all the time. It is no different for Bristol. She has all the signs. No, that smile is not sincere. It is a staged act and she is doing it for the paps as well. Of course, it is a good thing she appears happy and like a good sport. I doubt she could carry it off without the meds and all the paid help that props her up.
ReplyDeleteIt is worse than ever that she is a fraud to teens in America. The rest of the world must be horrified at all the baby making machines we produce and glorify on television. Freak shows for ugly American breeders. She is disgusting for the way she is treating Tripp's Daddy in public and in front of him as well. I bet her family and friends cheer her on to do that. What a sick group. Poor Piper, too.
Here;s your money shot, Gryphen.

That is not a chubby tummy, that's a baby bump, with the elastic band of a spanx showing through the shirt. She's doing a reverse Sarah, trying to hide it.
666 alright. There is a God and she has a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything to substantiate that April Morlock was in the Palin living room to watch Bristol dance? The distractions are working. No one will notice how the war propagandists are winning at keeping the war industry in business.
Michael Ware, Former CNN War Correspondent, Speaks Out On Alleged War Crime CNN Refused To Air
According to Matt Cherette over at Gawker.TV, Sarah Palin didn't even bother showing up for Bristol's performance. After all the security arrangements and hoopla...
ReplyDeleteAm wondering will the Palinistas fund air fare and expenses to the African witch doctor to fly in and pray away the gay for Bristol who has to touch her gay dance partner.
Oh wait, that would screw up the future "blame that guy she danced with" currently being put on lay-a-way just in case Tripp grows up to come out of a closet.
Palins are never apt to rid themselves of situations to cash in on professional victimization.
For a person of Bristol's level of intelligence, talent, education and experience, she is extremely well-paid. The dollars are rolling in and the nanny tends the kid.
ReplyDeleteBristol is smarter than Sarah.
Bristol seems so immature for her age. Did she ever have any ambition? This is the time in her life that she should be getting an education and striving toward her goals. I wonder where she sees herself in ten years?
ReplyDelete9:44...I feel you, but Bristol has looked like this for months, go back and look at pictures from May and June...if she were pregnant, she'd be larger. Plus, everything is fatter, her arms,legs, and especially her face. Go back and look at pictures from the RNC convention in 2008, when Bristol was publicly pregnant with Tripp. Her face and arms were not this bloated.
ReplyDeleteSomthings up with Bristol's weight, but it's not pregnancy. She should be losing weight with all the dancing, however, her belly would be much larger if she was preggers, especially since this would be her second (but most likely third) pregnancy in as many years.
I wonder when the new quarterly Sarah Pac statements come out if we will see some items related to 'communication' expenditures. Those cell phone calls can add up and who wants to pay for it out of their own pocket. Like what we saw with Chuckie's $1000 postage reimbursement. Hmmmmm......
ReplyDelete"I am not the same fucking person," he tells me. "I am not the same person. I don't know how to come home." Michael Ware is trying to tell us something. Most of the soldiers with PTSD have no way to express it at all. Thanks to people like the Palins who use warriors for their purposes but have little consideration for what the warriors suffer.
ReplyDeleteChild of a narcissistic parent (or parents,) we learn what we live. It's really not Bristol's fault. And in all likelihood, Sarah's personality disorder was handed to her in the same way. I give Bristol a pass. 19 is still young. She's far from outside her mother's thrall. Sarah is willfully blind to her flaws, projecting her them onto others instead. Neither does she own her power; instead she's ordained by God. She needs psychiatric treatment. It's a sickness, not a choice.
ReplyDeleteBristol is very young, age 20, and a little pudgy. That should not have stopped her from dancing her buns off on DWTS.
ReplyDeleteBy comparison, here's a video of Kyle Massey, age 19, the youngest DWTS contestant last night.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL-GZfJe7jk
Kyle is much plumper than Bristol yet he moves! He smiles! He has youthful energy!
I have no idea what's wrong with Bristol, but it's sad to watch a 20 year old girl look like a frump.
Im not saying she is fat.Im just saying she does look rounded in the middle.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder if they purposefully put her with Ballas since he is not a large man,to point that out.
"I really do not think she is pregnant at this time. She looks like a girl who had a baby (or 2), and never did anything to get back in shape."
ReplyDeleteexcept she did loose all the Tripp baby weight almost immediately. She was very skinny in 2009. At 19 years old, there is no excuse for cottage cheese thighs, flabby arms and a double chin plus the HUGE belly that sticks out from immediately under her breasts.
I see teenage girls that are muffin tops all the time. The poochie belly starts at the belly button. It doesn't begin up high like Bristol's protruding belly does. Bristol LOOKS pregnant. She looked pregnant with the Levi photo shoot. She looked more pregnant on Leno and she looks even more pregnant now. If she were only 2 months along for the Candies flower dress shoot, she would be entering her 6th month now and it looks it. After having 2 babies already, it's not unusual to show at 2 months.
10:28 AM,
ReplyDeleteIt isn't Sarah's fault either. It isn't Chuck's fault, not Sally's fault, not their parents fault. It is not only about whose fault it is either. When people grow up they take responsibility and don't do the fault game. I agree that it is a chronic psychiatric disorder but they are also criminals that are known to perpetuate fraud. Whether they get any psycho treatment is neither here nor there. I'd like to see the crimes prosecuted. Bristol's odd looks and behaviors are hiding more than her weight and maybe pregnant problems. Willingly or not, she is allowing herself to be out there for far more severe scrutiny than has been put on her so far.
Bristol will continue to make her statements through dance interpretation until she off the show. It is rigged and I don't know how the insiders have it planned or what the motives are. I do know this was more about Sarah and Bristol failed to demonstrate she is her own person. She did not look like a happy camper or a good sport underneath the facade. People will tune in to see a dysfunctional mental case and try to see how they are deceiving the public and getting by with such destructive behaviors. They will cheer lead for the worst of scum. Ted Bundy had a sickness and needed treatment, still the crimes must be investigated and prosecuted.
I danced professionally before I went away to college. The rehearsals were like running as fast as you can for the entire time. After the performances, you'd be gasping like you'd just finished a sprint.
ReplyDeleteShe looks pregnant to me in both the red dress (STILL PHOTO AND WHILE SHAKING/DANCING) and in the green top.
I thought there might have been some "Witeout," but I don't think this is just being someone with an eating disorder. (I saw that a lot, too, when I was in HS with the cheerleaders.)
Her fav part was the worst part. She did not carry that off well at all. She went from ugly costume to WTF was that thing? SHE FAILED BIG TIME. She did not get her message across by any stretch of the imagination. She was a big fat Willy Wonka Cherry and Mommies baby forever with that dance.
ReplyDelete****The highlight of Bristol Palin on Monday's Dancing With the Stars premiere?
Ripping off her coat to show off a sexy red dress.
"That was my favorite part!" she told UsMagazine.com after the show****
The Z-list divas.
She is being praised b/c she had a partner that did an exceptional job and she did not fall. Also, she looks better than Tom DeLay.
ReplyDeleteOther than not falling and looking better than DeLay that is about all she did to earn kudos. It is inexcusable and irresponsible to call her a teen activist or promote someone that is so shallow and under a cult spell when it comes to a very serious matter in regard to the teens in the USA.
There are some interesting photos in this stream. Note the stills from Leno and the one with two girls in front of the Single Source Speakers booth, dated May 19, 2010(way slimmer than now.) Just after-before BB got her pregnant? IMHO, the hook up with Levi was to justify this pregnancy.

Just back from Huff Po...very interesting pic of Miss P. in a straight on pose in her red fringe...seriously left me with more questions than answers...
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:01 - I guess they should of
ReplyDeletehad you evaluate the dancers instead of the judges. So who should we go with, you? or the judges & our lying eyes? The costume was not flattering to her in any way at all. True, you don't go around critiquing peoples' appearance/weight on the street, etc., but when Bristol or anybody puts themselves on stage in a skimpy
little 'hoochie' outfit especially if
they've not got the figure for it
people are gonna comment. And I thought She & Levi weren't suppossed to disparage each other in public -
Levi doesn't, so how does she get away with it? Why ask, we know, she's
a Palin.
Sharon TN
Overall, I think Bristol looks like she's toned up since the May 18 appearance at Heartbeat International and the engagement cover photo. She doesn't look at all heavy in the clip from her tv debut a month later; although, the shirt and vest may have camouflaged a belly protrusion. Something's up with the weight fluctuations.
ReplyDeleteIs it swelling or weight gain in her face? The close-ups at 1:51 and 1:53 reminded me Cojo (Steven Cojocaru, flamboyant fashion guru and commentator) when he was swollen from drugs taken for kidney disease.
So Bristol goes on TV, shakes her booty, thrusts out her pelvis, shows her legs up to her crouch, and we're not supposed to comment on her looks? I don't think so. And if that's a "modest" dress, the girl needs a dictionary.
ReplyDeleteIn ballroom dance, the man is basically supposed to make the woman look good. In this farce, Bristol stands there and shifts her weight from one foot to the other while Mark dances around her. Then she does this frantic little lumbering thing with him around the stage and quits. I like watching DWTS to watch the real dancers, but it drives me nuts the way people who don't know better watch the show, see someone woodenly go through some steps, and say, "She did okay."
Okay for a pregnant elephant.
Anon 12:39 - Bristol looks lean in the Single Source photo and it was taken about the same time as the HI appearance (sorry I don't have a lind) where she looks heavier. Camera angles?
ReplyDeleteShe was definitely thin in the Candies' photo after Tripp was born. Any weight gain since then can't be excused as baby weight.
Bristol is not an unwed 20 year old that got back in shape after giving birth.
ReplyDeleteShe has weight problems and sex issues that are public, that is due to her high profile in regard to pregnant and teen pregnancy, a run away problem that should concern any decent American. Her weight is also a sign that she needs attention on other health issues. A sincere teen activist would be addressing these matters. What does she do? She gives speeches for more pay that she has not earned other than her mother's "celebrity" daughter. Her speeches to no one but elite cultists to see and hear what she has to say. They are about generating money but I don't know of any lasting worthwhile good comes of it. She is all about her mother's political agenda and she hurts teens and her country with her blind allegiance. Everything about these frauds must be exposed. Leave no rock unturned. Alaska can afford the unwed teen birth expense because they use welfare in their state. Both Tripp and Bristol will be getting over a grand each from the fund this year. They also have medical coverage.
I'm not sure she would be stupid enough to go on a TV show pregnant & proclaim to be a abstinence advocate. That would be insane!
ReplyDeleteWeight gain has been known to happen. About a year or two after I lost all of my baby weight, I gained it all back plus 10. Hormones? Metabolism? Who knows?
I just feel bad for Tripp in all of this. Only sees his dad every now & then. Has a "step daddy"/Ben for awhile, but then he is gone. Dad comes back, but he is gone as fast as he came. Moving from house to condo to house to someplace in LA.
That is a lot of instability for one small person.
Another terrible mother in the making.
I never noticed that she has buck teeth and a double chin before. With all that money, get some invisilign braces and a chin tuck Bristol.
ReplyDeleteGood job for a first try.
Preggers?? i don't think so sorry. According to rumor she'd be 5 or 6 months along. I guess its possible she has tight abs like mama.
Did you see mama's political video today. What a joke she is.
Bristol is possibly suffering from some type of PTSD due to her family. It may be the same for their friend Jeremy Morlock, he is a possible victim of the same disorder. They are still adults and need to take responsibility. All the potential crimes they may be involved in must be investigated.
ReplyDeleteNo, she isn't overweight and doesn't look like a fish out of water. She is spot on to harangue the ward robe people about those costumes. She could not have been made to look worse. She wore them and the "buck" stops with her but like at the RNC someone helped her into those mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm no fan of the Palins, but really, enough with the fat comments. I see it all the time here. Attack her character or her positions, but lay off the "chunky" comments. Most women struggle with their weight. I think she looks great, better than a lot of other girls her age, who haven't had a baby. Or two?
ReplyDeleteThis is the attitude that leads young girls to eating disorders. I hope my three daughters never come to such conclusions about themselves.
hey look it's bristol hollywood!
ReplyDelete12:39 PM Anonymous - Thanks for the pictures. I don't know when the SSS was taken. They can't be bold and clear about it. What a racket. It is too funny that the abstinence and anti-masturbation platform is what they are about. Strange brew these charlatans are. They do make alot of money spreading crap.

I'm past middle age, but I could do Bristol's "dance" steps without weeks of practice. She barely walked back and forth and shook a bit.
ReplyDelete"Modest"??? Not at all. There is nothing "Christian" about her clothing or her actions on this show.
what are the chances that from here on out bristol wears nothing but black on the show? yeah that's a rhetorical question.
ReplyDeleteAnjaak - "I'm not sure she would be stupid enough to go on a TV show pregnant & proclaim to be a abstinence advocate. That would be insane!"
ReplyDelete------
Exactly!
Totally preg. In the shots of her practicing, in her tank top...whoa. That's not chub. It's a baby.
ReplyDeleteSarah herself said that Bristol's 'Dancing' performance about "perseverance." It is good she can persevere and more being called fat is nothing. Bristol has said many times she does not pay attention to the critics. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that when you put yourself in a situation like Bristol did with DWTS and others, you are going to get all kinds of critique. If you are chubby, pregnancy addiction or have weight fluctuations you will be called FAT and worse. She, her mother's fans and sympathizers need to get a grip and grow up about the facts of life. The fat word is not just for people like Kristie Alley, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Love Hewitt and the like. Bristol being called fat is just a way to try and get to what is really happening. To try and grasp all the lies they are telling us.
ReplyDeleteAs a "teen activist" being fat or called fat is an issue she would address. When she can talk openly about what is going on she can put alot of that the rest. She has no interest in anything but money, cheap fame and promoting her mother's crazy political agenda. Her mother sacrificed her to be a prop and Bristol is too far gone to break away. She can only perform or play like she is independent and doesn't have the problems she is in denial about.
From the red dress still photos, she looks pregnant:

They were probably waiting to weigh in on endorements until after Lisa’s statement. I don’t see two months being a game changer?
Is it true Palin was a Dem for ten years before being tapped by Ted?
Leslie Andrews, Mark B’s cousin said she was on a commity with Sarah for years & she was a Dem at that time.
Andrew’s as well had some first person experiences with Bristol in 2007 when L said Bristol was very, very, knocked up drinking, smoking, helllll raising at the Palin cabin.

Whoa! (FAS? Ruffled ear or Witeout? My guess would be the former for the “prop”.)
She may not be too bright, but she might have tried to get away with this from before.
Sarah insists her daughter is thrilled to be competing in the ABC reality show. "She's having the time of her life, and we are thankful. This is a story of perseverance, taking personal responsibility, and keeping her head up while having faith. What seems like a great challenge can turn into a great blessing," she adds.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.intouchweekly.com/2010/09/in_touch_exclusivesarah_palin.php
Provoking men for her abstinence cause? In Touch Weekly didn't quote Willow, I wonder why they used that old picture of her? She is the younger, prettier and more trim version of her sister. Both Sarah and Bristol knew about the rumors about Sarah going to DWTS and security and both went along with that ploy to get more viewers. This is a big event for Mama Grizzlies. It really proves Sarah's credibility as a minority female.
I thought it was odd Bristol had no one in the audience for her. Not even Ivy Frye and the other Sarah helpers and political operatives that worked to get this thing to go smooth. Why weren't they shown to support her. VERY STRANGE. Along with another cell phone problem. I wonder why only old women accompanied her to LA if they want to prove she is striking off on her own? Wouldn't she have had her own friends that are closer to her age if that was the case? The condo in Anchorage was also about proving her independence and look at what a lie and mistake that was. Her mother really needs the Mama Grizzly credibility and she needs to get some new handlers. They have the worst team. The media is at Murdoch's beckon call but even with all the favorable press and everyone protecting Bristol like the little Mama's girl she is, nothing is working for them. Only that they are doing PR shit the best they can and that isn't good. Fake smiles that only look more fake with each scam.
One thing I found extremely interesting was Sarah's recent comment about her faux Trig pregnancy and how she hid it. Sarah used the term, "chunked up." That may have been quoting one of my posts about Bristol. So Sarah reads this stuff.
ReplyDeleteWatch Bristol's dance in the very loose red dress. Her boobs look big and as a result, the dress flows straight down from her boobs. Yet, there is something under there, more than a beer gut.
Bristol was a young un-wed teen mother. Until she is in the forty-fifty range, the size and shape of her belly will interest people.
ReplyDeleteCombine that natural interest with all the contempt that Bristol's abstinence gig arouses and her belly might as well be painted with day glo organge. It is a hot topic.
Yet another reason to recall how cheap condoms are.
Bristol looks bloated to me, not just a matter of fat or weight. It could be the drugs, birth control pills or pregnant. Gryphen, do the rumors around Wasilla come from any credible sources? Like a doctors office? Or is it just talk from the Barber affair or the last Levi affair? Could it be a Barber knock up if they last had sex in before Levi? I do think she gets knocked up more than they will say. I think she has ways of taking care of that. I don't think she wanted Barber's baby and that's a done deal. Like with Johnny Chandler it is hard to tell whose babies and when.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the Levi and Britani video? Bristol was copying them. She said she if over Levi and doesn't care that he has a new love. Bristol's actions say the opposite. Bristol is obsessed with Levi and she is showing him she can do what he does and she is in competition with Britani. Team Sarah and reality stars like Kate Gosselin feed her the you will survive and show them all by way of media like Dancing with the Stars.
For sure she knows the courts in Alaska will not hold her to anything. She is using Levi in a way that is truly bad for his son. Her degradation of the father is unnecessary but she won't hold back. She is no better than Paris or Lindsay when it comes to entitlement and disrespect of the courts. Bristol does not have to think the law or anything from our legal system applies to her. Her experience tells her she is entitled to privilege and special treatment. All the Palin children are raised that way and the whole community enables them.
Anon 4:10 PM
ReplyDeleteShe is being chaperoned in Hollywood/LA by her mother's political operatives. The story the dance wants to tell is just phony Alaskan moose crap that has nothing to do with reality. It is propaganda. They are trying to sell Bristol as a Mama Grizzly that was raised by the head Mama Grizzly. They are only as good as the schemes and products they can sell. So where does she go after the dance? Back to the tower at the compound and they will call that being her own person? Will they set her up in another fake gig like the Anchorage scene? Can she live with the Heaths, an Aunt or rich friends? Will she stay in Hollywood with the chaperons?
She does look pregnant. That won't stop her from boinking Mark Ballas though, if he'll have her.
ReplyDeleteI admit it....the spawn of Scarah struck a chord with me last night when I watched her "pre-show" comments, and then the "dance-off". (my own virgin experience with this program)I felt kind of bad for her, but she wasn't as bad as I thought she would be. (darn!)And then....the dreaded question..."where's yo Mama?"
ReplyDeleteDidn't ANYONE show up to watch her 1st appearance? No MOM, no friends, a distant cuz? SAD. And then, the belly....wth? She really DOES look pregnant! And NOW, she's coming back next week...will she keep getting bigger? I would think you would get SLIMMER will all that exercise. Hmm
I agree with Anon 1:28PM. Bristol has weight issues and sex issues. She's not pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI barely caught anything yesterday because I watched House, and I didn't like the clip of her pushing Mark away and clamming up. But today, I caught a bit of the review on tv, and watched 1/2 of the video on here. (video loads slowly for me and I'm not going to bother to wait for it.)
I saw some parts with her smiling so I can see she does want to be on there. She's very fat, though. (And please don't delete my post for using the word fat!). It's surprising that she actually gained more weight even after the training with Mark. I understand they didn't practice much so maybe that's why, and in between she is stuffing her face big time.
What I do give her credit for is her legs, when she moved and shook it, on her back heel, wow...she's got the Palin legs for sure. Nicer than her mother, actually. She'll be a good looking girl in a few years, you can see it. But, to me, it doesn't matter. I don't give a crap about her. All I know is that from her quotes about other people and her actions, and how she's handled Levi, the inlaws, the media, and possibly the homer incident, she's not a very nice person. Her mother, imo, has cause to be vicious, she's in a vicious business and she's power hungry. Bristol has no such excuse.
I also found it interesting that they said the tear away clothing thing was supposed to represent escaping from her mother's conservatism, the way Mark described it, but I don't think that's the reality of their lives. Bristol, overall, is the conservative one. Her mother, despite her fake brand, seems very wild to me, very off the chain, very sexual, and very domineering. Bristol grew up in that shadow, so naturally she would be the opposite, or at least feel more comfortable in the opposite. Interesting too that Bristol said she can relate to motherly Florence Henderson more than the younger girls on the show. Again, no surprise.
Her face is quite tense in a couple of shots near the beginning. But she smiles big later on.
ReplyDeleteHer dancing is passable for such a newbie, but you can see that her moves and the dance they chose are quite simple.
I thought the effect of throwing off the business jacket was fetching, but I note that the dress lacks a waistline.
It is indeed odd for a 19 year old working out for several hours per day not to drop several pounds.
The suspicious looking belly is at one minute 36.
Inconclusive I say.
If she's pregnant, it's probably not the winter boyfriend (what's his name again?) because she would be further along by now. That belly is no more than 4 months.
I agree with Anon 5:33 it looks like she is pregnant at 1:35 and if you look at 1:38 it looks like she is wearing spandex and it is digging into her skin just under the transmitter. Why is she wearing so many layers I have seen her wearing four tops and a sweatshirt. It's not cold in LA in fact it has been very warm the last few weeks. They are trying to fool the American public again. First they want us to believe that someone is pregnant when they aren’t now they want us to believe that someone isn’t pregnant when it looks like they are pregnant. I think BP is wearing spandex to try to hide the fact that she is pregnant and is only doing this show in hopes that we will drop the subject. She wants to get kicked off in the first few weeks then she will hide out for the next few months and quietly she will have the baby at the mommy weirdest complex with a certain doctor. The doctor will then give the baby up for adoption.
ReplyDeleteHMT
Hmmm, if she was pregnant, would learning how to vigorously dance for a many weeks long competition be okayed by a doctor?
ReplyDeleteHer belly looks about the size mine did at 20 weeks. Does that fit into the rumor time line?
Bristol does not look that awkward on the show. She looks like a girl who is shy and out of her element, but is beginning to come around. We'll see how Mark does in Alaska this week when they rehearse and chill there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to the comment that Bristol was very pregnant and partying. How can that be true when in OCt 07 she didnt look any bigger than in the xmas photo? If she was pregnant prior to Tripp, she probably lost it. Sarah has mentioned a couple times that a strong person is someone who can go on living after losing a child. Plus I wholeheartedly believe Sarah has at least one miscarriage (pre Piper). She looked hefty in Feb/March 2000.
I think the reports of BRistol not wanting to return to Juneau in fall 07 were true, so she stayed in Wasilla. Levi had already dropped out due to grades (and taken a job right?) Sarah and Todd noticed her relationship with Levi and, trying to kill it as any good parent would, sent her to Heather's house.
Any strongwilled teen knows how to get around parental rules so she continued seeing Levi (as well as others Id wager)
I've never believed she was exclusive. It is high school. and in spring 08, there was fighting between Johnny and Levi. (post pregnancy discovery)
I think the most disgusting thing about this video is that it plays off the fantasies the right-wing kooks have about the "naughty librarian" mom. There are men everywhere who dream of Sarah in this exact same way.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if she's pregnant or not. What I do care about is that she talks about teen pregnancy as though it has been a curse for her. Then she continues to rake in dough and make her life as a single mom look profitable and glamorous.
Hypocrisy and fame-seeking seem to be firmly embedded in the family DNA. Enough, already.
If anybody watched last night (tuesday), did you notice when Brandy grabbed Bristol's hand. You could see that Bristol could not wait for her to let go, I can't believe she didn't wipe her hand off. Brandy is such a sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Bristol need the pill, she is a born again virgin.
ReplyDeletewell, one thing is for certain: if she is not preg, she will be toned and thin in a matter of weeks of daily dance rehearsals.
ReplyDeleteI personally do not think she is -- and further I believe once again our disgusting media is amping up the chatter and speculation -- and the Palins are perfect fodder for trainwreck tv.
- kellygrrrl
After finally watching the video, I don't believe she's pregnant, and certainly not with Ben's baby.
ReplyDeleteShe looks to be a size 10 or 12, normal size for a woman.
I loved the show Ugly Betty. America Ferrera, the star, was so big compared with others on the show. While at the ABC Commissary in Disneyworld, I was aghast to see a dress AF wore as Ugly Betty... she couldn't have been more than a 12. More than half of all American women wear a size larger than 12.
This only proves what I have already concluded that Sarah Palin is a media hog who uses the Christian Church for votes but really wants to go Holly-weird famous along with her daugther! No one made her do that sexual dance with her dance partner feeling her up, but oh well, I guess they will do anything for fame and fortune!
