Dancing With the Stars Officially Jumps the Shark With Bristol Palin

E! Entertainment Television is reporting that the producers of Dancing With the Stars have decided to “jump the shark” this season by hiring Bristol Palin.  And to think that viewers thought they already did that last season, by hiring Kate Gosselin and her two wooden legs and the reanimated corpse of Buzz Aldrin.  Not so!

We talked with one show staffer who told Unsolicited Drivel, “well, the Palins, who have become pretty expert at becoming famous for accomplishing nothing, contacted us after Bristol’s reality show deal negotiations broke off after she dumped Levi again.  Apparently nobody wanted to watch her on TV changing diapers on the same table her mother butchers moose on.  Plus, she was having a hard time losing the baby weight.  In inside joke around the studio is that Dancing With the Stars is going from Dancing With the Has-beens to Dancing With the Never Were or Will Be(s) this season. ”

Also included in the cast are that David Hasselhoff (sans cheeseburger), Audrina Patridge, The Situation and Brandy, who had only just recently gotten over the trauma of working with the ‘Hoff on America’s Got Talent.  To some TV viewers it will always be that show that keeps that hot Castle guy (who can actually act) from coming on before too close to bed time.
