Pure DWTS 2011 – Bristol Palin Has Landed Her Own Reality Show And Did She Have Plastic Surgery?
Ok, so I know I promised no more publicity for Bristol Palin. lol But, this just can’t be helped. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bristol Palin is about to embark in starting her own Reality Show. BIO has ordered ten half-hour episodes of the yet untitled show which will track Bristol and her son’s move from Alaska to Los Angeles, CA. to work at a small charity and live with the Massey brothers, Kyle (her former Dancing With The Stars competitor) and Chris. Here are some more details from the link which also mentions rumors of Bristol having plastic surgery recently. What do you think? Do you think she had something done and how do you think she looks? Lastly, will you watch Bristol’s new Reality Show and do you think it will be a success? Or do you think it will bomb?
“Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to,” McKillop said in a statement. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she’s opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers.“
The project is being produced by Associated Television International for BIO. David McKenzie and Jim Romanovich serve as executive producers for Associated Television International. David McKillop, Tom Moody and Andy Berg serve as the executive producers for BIO.
The show is set to air at the end of this year.
Bristol already has plenty of material to work with.
She recently fueled cosmetic surgery rumors by attending a Candie’s Foundation 2011 benefit gala looking thinner and appearing to have an angular jaw line and pronounced chin (she hasn’t commented on numerous reports).
Bristol’s new show also will be a platform for her to raise awareness about the struggles of being a single mother (the boy’s father is tabloid fodder Levi Johnston, who is currently penning a tell-all on the Palin family).
“Well, Tripp was born into a one-parent home…a single-parent home… and it’s difficult for him,” she recently told CBS News. “You know, I don’t have a college education yet. I don’t have a steady job. And it’s difficult for all teen moms, no matter what they’re background is,” she added.
My thoughts: I think Bristol did have something done to her face(chin and cheeks?). I do like the darker hair color on her and the hair extensions. As for this new Reality Show, I think it will bomb like her Mom’s did. And no, I won’t be watching. I also will be disappointed and not think much of her if she uses this show as a platform to diss Levi in any way. If she does, she will only be hurting her son.
Thanks to John and Candace for the link! 😉
Bristol. Yuck! Kyle. YAY!
I saw this news and kinda went… “Hunh? WTF? Bristol and Kyle?” My only question is WHY?
I think she’s had work done. Her chin especially. And I think she looks pretty good. I think she’s too young to have had work done – it’s not like she was unattractive to begin with. But you know, she looks like every other young Hollywood gal.
Well, today’s celebrity machine abhors a vacuum so she can’t be faulted for exploiting what she has. And how else could she possibly make that kind of money?She might as well cash in while she can. As for Kyle throwing in with her? I’m not a fan. And Evaine, wow, good point. She became another in a sea of same same same Hollywood.
On one hand I don’t like what she’s done, on the other hand… Who can blame her? Did we forget how cruel people were to her? Calling her out on her weight – comparing her to a moose, and what not.
Love Kyle! LOLed when I saw him last night.
I agree Vogue…I think she’s had work done. Her face definitely looks different and I think it’s her cheeks and chin.
A show about her move from AK to CA??? I thought she bought a house in AZ and lived there, no? And bringing Kyle into the mix I think is a way to get his fans to watch b/c people actually like him. I read an article from People where Mark said that Bristol has a “huge personality”….LOL. Good one Mark 😉

I’m not a Bristol fan, so I haven’t looked at heaps of before and after shots, but it might not be plastic surgery. Weight loss generally shows up in the face first (and the chest — in a just world it would show from the bum and the tummy first right???) It might be plastic surgery, but I thought I ought to be fair.
As for Kyle, I had a similar reaction to Evaine.
This one boggles the mind – I thought she and her son moved to LA last fall when she did season 11 – now she’s back and it’s a TV series? Not going to watch, but good for her. If she can figure out a way to exploit what has become ‘celebrity’ in the US, more power to her. If the Kardashians can be famous, why not Bristol.
Although it does help show some of the motivation that ABC had for keeping her on DWTS till the end – BIO (formerly the Biography Channel) is owned by A&E Networks, which is partly owned by ABC/Disney. Ahh, Hollywood!
And I don’t know about the surgery – weight loss does change the face too – look at Kirstie in her post-show interviews, her chin is def more prominent – but she looks COMPLETELY different and has been off the radar for a while, which was a surprise, given all the publicity she had coming off season 11.
Thanks for keeping us in the know…..
I would watch a show with Kyle and his brother, but I can’t watch Bristol. I’m already annoyed thinking about it.
She does look different, more like her mom now.
Interesting tidbit: Bristol was a receptionist at a dermatologist’s office before joining DWTS last season. In my own experience, dermatologists often have referral agreements with a lot of plastic surgeons – if there’s a problem that can’t be solved with microdermabrasion & fillers, odds are the dermatologist will refer a patient to a plastic surgeon for more in-depth treatment. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was the case with Bristol – could have also explained how she could do it under the radar up in AK. And this may surprise you, given my disdain for Bristol towards the end of last season – but if she got plastic surgery, more power to her. I’m not one to judge someone for wanting to better their physical appearance – if a bigger set of boobs or a new nose gives you the confidence to go out and tackle your dreams, I say go for it. I think it only becomes problematic when it becomes a pattern, and everytime something goes wrong in your life, you go running to the plastic surgeon.
As for Bristol getting it done – definitely looks to me like it could be a chin implant, but almost everyone I’ve know that’s gotten one has gotten one in conjuction with a rhinoplasty to balance out the proportions of their face. Or it could just be some jawline lipo. Or weight loss. Or just some really big hair, which can make a rounder face look more petite. Whatever it is, I think she looks great. Hopefully this new show of hers won’t be a complete trainwreck!
The ONLY thing that I find bothersome about the whole Bristol thing is the tremendous double standards and hypocrisy at work here. I have no problem with someone wanting to get work done. I also take no issue with a young ‘un trying to make some coin by striking while the iron is hot and doing a reality show. What DOES get to me is her incredulity at reporters who ask who she’s dating and other personal details. You can’t have it both ways, babe. You do a “reality” show, how about actually living in the REAL world. You go on a “reality show” you’re going to have to suck it up and get used to the idea that people will criticize.
She and her mother appear to look down on anyone who doesn’t live to their strange standards, plus they ridiculed that idiot Levi as only being “after money and 15 minutes of fame.” Ummmm…hello??? Pot..Kettle..black.
Thisis a good side-by-side. Definitely plastic surgery.

But not that I really care about that. I’ve had plastic surgery and I was much happier as a result. 🙂 Now, about the whole double standard Heidi refers to? Well, that’s where I get a bit rankled…
Looks like she has had some work done. Sad t osee someone so young go down that path so early.
Can you say “I won’t be watching?” I can.
Strange that Kyle will be on the show with her–thought he’d have gotten his own show after his appearance on DWTS. Was sad to see that it appears that he hasn’t maintained his weight loss from the show.
She definately had some work done and definately has lost more weight. She looks good though. As fore her new show, I don’t think she is going to turn it into a Levibashing lol (if she does she is an idiot) but I predict that its definately going to be a pity party for her and how she has haters blah blah blah. Kyle is going to be the funny one out of the two. Basically, its going to be a twisted reality version of three’s company where the two Masseys are going to steal the show while Bristol tries to make herself seem more like a “real” person. Don”t get me wrong, she has a personality but its just dull and her doing this show is probably not a good idea. The girl is kinda dull as dishwater. If anybody is a bristol fan, I’m not trying to be mean. The girl had some good dances last seasson (her paso was great! and the tango was good too), showed she has popularity behind her, and showed that she was not like her mother (which is bad if you want a reality tv show…..I watched Sarah Palin’s Alaska and shewas a hoot..it was like an SNL skit in an hour form lol) but she isn’t the most exciting person in the world.
On a side note, I wonder how Much Bristol is getting paid for the show. I’m thinking she is going to earn more than anybody with a college degree is for all the televison appearances so I’m thinking she should shut up on that front lol. As for the BIO network part, I was confused. When I hear BIO network I don’t associate it with reality television shows to be honest. Would have expected MTV or VH1 to pick her for a show (MTV especially since it would have been perfect tie in for Teen Mom (I don’t really care for MTV but they missed out on a good ratings catch lol).
I’m surprised no one’s commented on her living with the Massey brothers with her son. I don’t care much either way, but an ultra conservative part of her mother’s base won’t be so happy, no?
John, I commented that it was strange that Kyle was part of the show.
I don’t think that they’ll try to play up any romance on the show, but it is a little stange to have a young single woman move in with two young guys–at least when it isn’t for financial reasons. By that I mean–she has plenty of money to live on her own with her child. Moving in with two guys that she hasn’t known that long is just strange–or a set up for a reality show. LOL
I liked Kyle on DWTS, but not enough to look for his projects outside of the show.
I would watch Kyle read a phone book. But the inclusion of Bristol in this – no.
She definitely had her chin done. Her cheeks maaaay be a result of weight loss. But her chin is lengthened, not just slimmed – compare her pictures to the ones of her before she gained all that weight, and you can see that her chin was a good centimeter or two shorter.
I don’t care, I just find it hysterical how often she referred to herself as a “real” person in the swamp of “fake” hollywood. SO many of her fans hung their hats on how she was just a single-mom wanting to get back to her Alaskan roots, blablahblah. Please. She’s no better than Tori Spelling now. And to subject her son to that? Very interesting.
Bristol is exploiting everyone, she is too layzy to work, or even go to school. Why should she when she has people dumb enough to follow her so called HARD LIFE IS HAVING BEING A SINGLE MOM
This is nothing but a con job, how hard is it when you have lot of money you made off being a cheap trick in Alaska. No I am sick of the message she is giving your young people. Its ok to have a baby look how I turned out. Rich Rich and I do not have to take care of the kid, I can hire a nanny.
I HOPE Kyle and his brother are smart and see the real reason she is using them> She wants to make Mommie dearest angry, for we all know Sarah is a racists.
Kyle I hope you wake up
Nice she spends her money on herself, What happen to her boy friend that works in the oil fields????
Her Radio Job in Arizona
Surprised at the pairing of Bristol and Kyle. Will not watch under any circumstance; was not impressed with the personality (or lack thereof) shown on DWTS.

She confirms a surgery, but not for cosmetic reasons. She says she had her overbite repaired and she just so happened to lose the chubbiness in her face as a result. Man, Bristol, just woman-up and admit it. What’s with the evasion? Grr.
Anyway, enough of my gossipping. lol
Just read that she had dental work. This I know a bit about. There isn’t a dentist/doc out there who will confirm without a doubt that a big overbite WILL result in digestion problems, etc. They will say that problems may, may be possible down the road when you’re older. The majority of these surgeries are for appearance – an aligned bite photographs better. She’s got the money to pay for it so…
Sorry, but I had that exact surgery – I had a huge overbite that was causing breathing problems (my windpipe was 1/10th the normal size due to to my lower jaw constricting it). Her overbite was minimal, and definitely was repaired for cosmetic reasons – people that usually go through such drastic measures for cosmetics usually do it to increase the visibility of their chin. Funny, when I was looking at her face it reminded me of mine post surgery – the nerves take a long time to repair and even now, years later, occasionally my nerves will go haywire in my jaw and face. Hers has the same look that mine did – but there is NO way she needed that surgery. But if that’s what she did have – she probably also had her chin extended down (it’s the same exact thing the oral surgeon recommended to me, although they haven’t done it yet cause I am iffy on if I need it). They break a small piece of the chin and extend it down (or out) – there’s no actual “implant” there. That’s a lot more stable than an implant anyway, and again it also explains the frozen look on her face – there was probably a great deal of nerve stuff going on there (and still). But yeah, that’s probably what she did – only it was for cosmetic, not medical reasons (and although I did get cosmetic benefits out of mine, it was DEFINITELY a medical requirement).
BTW, her claiming that she did it for health reasons is like when Jennifer Anniston got her large-ish nose done for a “deviated septum”. Also, I should note that I had six years of braces in preparation for the surgery – her teeth are obviously in the same place (as the orthodontist had placed them when she had her braces originally). It is only when the overbite is negligible will they not move the teeth again – even if that means more braces. The reason for that is that teeth need to match up once the surgery is done – and any significant amount of movement will totally throw off any benefit if the orthodontist and surgeon do not work cooperatively. Oh and this also explains her cheekbones looking more prominent (although about 20% of people that have the surgery also have cheek implants, but I don’t think she did). Sorry to rant, but it’s something that I went through for so many years that I think it’s laughable that she is trying to say she NEEDED to have it.
Sort of like all the girls that get the nose job to fix the ‘deviated septum’ ? I love that she had to respond, and credits the change in her face not to the surgery, but to losing five pounds. Where’s her ‘middle finger’ attitude to all the haters – she should have just come clean, thinking that nobody would notice was craaazzzy.
Again, she’s an adult, can do what she wants, but I just hope they stop the ‘girl next door’ PR push – she’s now a fairly wealthy 20 year old with a tv-deal, who has capitalized on her mom’s fame and the situation that brought her to the forefront of the media.
Figamentation, yes, yes, yes. Rereading my comment, I meant that she’s not a candidate for the serious correction. If she had real issues, she’d a been addressing them. What was her prep for the surgery? DWTS? Looking at herself on video and realizing she didn’t like her bite? Yeesh.
Funny thing…Kyle doesn’t seem to know much about this impending reality show. lol

We know very little about Bristol Palin’s upcoming, unnamed reality show, and it turns out that her co-stars may be in the same boat.
Wednesday night, E!’s Marc Malkin caught up with Kyle and Chris Massey, and they didn’t seem to know very much about the project.
“In our field, our profession, you can say a lot of things can happen that you never expected,” said Kyle.
As for how the Bio Channel decided to pair the Massey brothers with Bristol, Kyle, who was Bristol’s competition on “Dancing with the Stars,” didn’t seem sure. “That’s such a good question,” he said. He noted they have “been in contact with Palins” and said that “the show is going to be a lot of fun.”
But wait. Contact? The press release announcing the show said that the pair “have become best friends.” Shouldn’t they be talking and texting pretty often if they’re BFFs?
Even if their friendship still has room to grow, Chris told E! that hanging with Bristol should be fun. “I think she’ll be really good because with us we always have a good time,” said Chris. “We’re gonna show her the ropes for sure.”
Kyle chimed in: “We’ll take good care of her.”
And they’re looking out for Bristol’s son, Tripp, too. “We definitely won’t be leaving the baby in Kyle’s hands,” Chris said of his brother. “That would be a child babysitting another child.”
