ooh, can't wait: Bristol Palin's Memoir due in June
Bristol Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, seems to have put down her dancing shoes and picked up the pen. A book listing on Amazon, under the heading "Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir,” says that the 304-page book is due to hit the shelves June 21.

Back in November, Palin family friends told PopEater that Bristol was working on a book, but the nature of it was undisclosed.

According to the Amazon listing, the memoir will be published by William Morrow & Co., an imprint of Harper Collins. Neither the publisher nor Palin's rep immediately responded to requests for comment.

8. You skipped the steamy part between puberty starting, and her becoming a mom.

After all, sex sells, and people need to know how she fell for Levi's irresistible sexuality, how he was able to get her to break her vow of abstinence ... the passion, the desire ... the ... ugh ugh :puke:

4. A freaking memoir? She's 20!
Didn't people used to write memoirs after they'd retired and had a whole lifetime of work and experience to write about and reflect on?

24. Yes, indeed, that is the norm.
But apparently the Palins have the national stage to sell stuff.

Well sell the crap out of your stuff to your audience and go back to hidey-hole and get off the stage! America is sick of it all.

10. If you can't wait, here's a chance to get to know her: Bristol Palin gives tour of new Arizona home
http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/articles/2011/02/07/20110207bristol-palin-gives-tour-arizona-home.html

Bristol Palin and son Tripp, 2, give E!'s Giuliana Rancic a tour of her new Arizona home on Monday night's E! News at 7 and 11:30 p.m.

Rancic discovered that Palin has a photo of her new boyfriend - said to be Gino Paoletti, a 20-year-old Alaskan pipeline worker - by her bedside. She says, "He's amazing with Tripp."

Meanwhile, Bristol, who was on hand Friday as her mom, Sarah Palin, spoke at dinner remembering Ronald Reagan in Santa Barbara, Calif., has applied to trademark her name.

26. Sounds just like me when I was 18
minus the out of wedlock baby, minus the absent father of the afore mentioned out of wedlock baby, minus the grifter mother, minus her own absent father, minus the Dancers with the Losers gig.

Yep, she's just like me!

14. The memoir of a 20-year-old?
And three hundred fergodssakes pages?!

Let the word go forth now that there will be no negative reviews or reporting on the deathless pronouncements of the offspring of the former half-term governor of Alaska. No one is allowed to question anything she writes, lest you incur the Mama Grizzly Wrath, and no one is allowed to point out any hypocrisy (latent or patent) involved in a 20-year-old single mother extolling the virtues of celibacy for her peers whilst cashing in for herself. A word to the wise: Pit bull bites look even worse with lipstick around the wound site.

Everybody got that?

22. Left Action presents: Ignore Sarah Palin week during Feb 28 week
http://leftaction.com/action/ignore-sarah-palin-week-228-34

My comment about this memoir: The right-wing groups will probably inflate its sales through bulk orders for giveaways, and in a few months the book will end up selling for $5 in the bargain bins.
