I can't believe this. Surely there are folks out there that want to watch a show about a guy,whose only claim to fame is he is married to Sarah Palin, drive a snowmobile around. That has to be fascinating stuff, you know, with the snow, and the snowmobiles, and more snow. And more snowmobiles. Shockingly, this inner look at the competitive arena known as spouses of politicians racing snowmobiles has not been picked up. Even more shockingly, someone thought of this idea in the first place. http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_19532730 Sarah Palin announced in October that she would not run for president, leaving her free to focus on another time-honored important institution: reality TV. But the Fox News contributor is having some trouble selling a follow-up to the Mark Burnett-produced "Sarah Palin's Alaska," her TLC show that bowed in November 2010 to a record-breaking 5 million viewers. The Hollywood Reporter reports Palin and Burnett are pitching another reality series, this one more focused on Palin's husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer. Sounds like someone is running low on ideas. But for now, TLC owner Discovery Communications has passed, say sources. And A&E Networks, which entered into a bidding war with Discovery for "Sarah Palin's Alaska," also is not interested. The Hollywood Reporter says the networks have balked at the steep asking price -- Palin's "Alaska" went for more than $1 million an episode and sources say Burnett and Palin are asking for a similar payday for the follow-up. Mark Burnett Productions did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Another obstacle is Palin's status as a cultural lightning rod could be waning. The former Alaska governor, 47, has been largely under the radar since confirming that she would not seek the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, as press attention has shifted to front-runners Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and the rest. Says one network insider, "I think it's safe to say her time has passed."
Bristol already had her reality show. Don't know if it's still running or not. I don't watch reality shows, don't care who's in them........ and Bristol is no longer a teenage parent...
Yeah, she was - so were a zillion other women during their teens becoming mothers........ Well, Bristol wrote a book, appeared on DWTS and made enuf $ to buy her own home, then starred in a reality show, not to mention her speaking engagements........ sounds like the young gal is doing pretty well for herself and her child...... I wish her the best in life ...
