Dancing With the Stars Producers Deny Bristol Palin Conspiracy at Work

The fact that Bristol Palin made it into the finals has a lot of people scratching their heads (or mailing white powder to the set). But it’s no conspiracy. “She deserves it,” Dancing With the Stars executive producer Conrad Green says. “A significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too.” Week after week, as Bristol advances and superior talents like Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox, and Brandy have fallen, conspiracy theories have surfaced. DANCING FINALIST : Like it or not, Bristol Palin (with partner Mark Ballas) will be competing for the MirrorBall trophy in this week’s finals. Will she actually win it? Speculation has arisen about whether the Tea Party, which strongly supports her mom Sarah, is involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol. On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic (dot) com, some of the site’s 300,000 users have used discussion threads to encourage votes for Palin. Bristol Palin , that is. One asked users to “make liberal heads explode and vote for Bristol” Nov. 8 to advance her to the semifinals. That’s pretty much what happened. But Green insists , “There’s nothing in the voting system that looks at all strange.” He says that the entire process – text votes, call-in votes and email votes – “is all overseen by the Broadcast Standards team, independent of us and the network to make sure that everything is absolutely done scrupulously.” While some say the show’s credibility is in question after this year, Green says this isn’t the first time a less skilled dancer has made it this far. Of Bristol’s surprise run, he says, “You can argue whether or not she deserves to be there more than someone else who the judges have assigned to be a better dancer, but then make sure you vote for that person. It’s not rocket science.” He also notes that plans to change the system to give the judges’ scores more weight than audience votes are false, because that’s already in place. “Everyone is having a go at our system, but unlike American Idol, our professional judges count for half of the total for each couple each week, so there’s already a built-in attempt to make the dance quality matter,” Green says. “We set the rules down and this is the game and if this is how it turns out, then this is how it turns out. I think it’s absolutely fair.” What do you think? Does Bristol Palin deserve to be in the finals?

Report: Dancing With the Stars Set On Lockdown After White Powder Mailed to Bristol Palin

Emergency responders raced to CBS Television City studios late Friday after a white powder substance was found by a member of the Dancing with the Stars staff. The apparent target, according to TMZ, was likely Bristol Palin . Law enforcement sources say the powder substance was discovered by a DWTS staff member, and a section of the studio was then evacuated and cordoned off. Fortunately, the FBI reported it appears to be mere talcum powder after “initial field screening was negative for hazardous substances.” An investigation continues. The powder was contained in a piece of fan mail addressed to Bristol Palin. We know plenty of fans are upset with her long run on the show, but this is just wrong. Come on, people. There’s nothing funny about terrorist threats, even if Brandy’s elimination really sucked. Get a grip … also, the white powder thing is so 2001. Now that this is over and it looks like everyone’s free from danger, we can go back to debating whether Bristol deserves to be in the finals …

Tre From Facebook: Willow Palin is Totally Homophobic; Apology Not Accepted!

Tre, the Alaskan dude who Willow Palin called a f*gg*t on Facebook this week, does NOT accept her sister Bristol’s apology, thankyouverymuch. He says Willow Palin , who lashed out at him for mocking her mom’s TLC show, uses such language so often, she may very well be a homophobe. Tre tells TMZ that he’s not gay, but feels offended and bullied, given that “Willow called me a f**got in front of the whole world and my family.” What would Sarah Palin have to say about Willow’s vocabulary? Asked if he felt it was a homophobic rant , Tre replied that he thinks so, seeing as “She says ‘queer’ and ‘gay’ so much … so probably … maybe.” Although Bristol issued a public apology via Facebook on behalf of her and Willow, Tre says he’s yet to hear from either one of them personally. Does he accept Bristol’s apology ? “No way … Maybe if it was sincere from them straight to me, I would consider. But it would have to be direct.” “People say these are baby grizzlies defending Mama Bear … but how is she defending her family by calling us queers and low-lifes and f**gots?” Fair question. Here’s another: Is Willow Palin homophobic?

JoBro was interviewed by InStyle before Lovato left tour to seek treatment. By Jocelyn Vena Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/ WireImage While there has been speculation that Demi Lovato ‘s split from Joe Jonas may have been one of the reasons she left their tour to seek treatment, in a new interview, the Jonas brother insists that life on the road with his ex had been drama-free. “With Demi, it’s been friendly,” he told InStyle, in an interview that took place before Lovato decided to seek treatment for her physical and emotional issues. “There hasn’t been any drama.” On Wednesday, Lovato’s rep confirmed to MTV News that she would stay in treatment next week, contrary to reports that she would be out by Thanksgiving. In the issue, Jonas opens up about his love life, noting that he looks for a “great girl” in a potential love interest. “I’ve been able to meet some really nice girls and some not-so-nice girls,” he said about his famous love life. “I always try to be cool and still be friends, but sometimes it’s better not to.” Jonas, who is now romantically linked to “Twilight” actress Ashley Greene , said he’s willing to use his relationships as potential musical inspiration, just like another ex, Taylor Swift . “People say, ‘Are you mad that somebody writes a song about you?’ and I say, ‘No, that means I have the freedom to write a song about her,’ ” he explained of Swift. Joe also dished a bit about what fans might hear on his solo album . “I began writing with a Michael

Brandy Was ‘Very Sad’ About ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Elimination

‘I think Bristol did a great job,’ the singer says after controversial ‘DWTS’ results. By Jocelyn Vena Brandy appears on “The View” on Thursday Photo: ABC Many fans were shocked when Brandy was voted off “Dancing With the Stars” on Wednesday. Her elimination left Kyle Massey, Bristol Palin and Jennifer Grey in the top three as the show prepares to crown a winner next week. Asked how she felt about being eliminated, the singer took the high road but expressed some sadness. “Well, I think Bristol did a great job. She has improved [and] one of the great things about ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is the fans can get behind you and vote,” she said when she stopped by “The View” on Thursday (November 18). “I was sad. I was very sad because we worked so hard and when you come into competition you want to go as far as you can.” Brandy’s partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, didn’t get too heated about the elimination said he doesn’t believe Palin is a better dancer than Brandy. “I’m not ticked off,” Chmerkovskiy said. “I’m not ticked off because I feel everyone has the right to be on,” he added. “We had a lot of controversial eliminations this season. I feel like we should stay true to who we are now.” So does Maksim think he and Brandy were robbed? “Well, then a lot of people were robbed [over the years],” he said. Although Brandy isn’t taking home the mirror ball trophy, she said she has managed to win something else. “It’s completely changed my life,” she explained. “I feel like I’ve tapped back into my confidence and my power. This show has brought the best out in me [and] thanks to Maks.” She also had some predictions going into the final week of “DWTS.” “I don’t know who’s going to win but I know who I want to win … Kyle Massey,” she said. Partner Maks agreed saying, “I think Kyle is the best candidate.” What did you think of Brandy being voted off “DWTS”? Tell us in the comments!

Sarah Palin Slams ‘American Idol’ For Hosting ‘Talent Deprived’ Contestants

In her upcoming memoir, the former vice-presidential candidate labels unskilled ‘Idol’ competitors ‘victims of the cult of self-esteem.’ By Nuzhat Naoreen Sarah Palin Photo: Jewel Samad/ AFP/ Getty Images “American Idol” may entertain millions of viewers, but Sarah Palin apparently isn’t one of them. In excerpts from her upcoming memoir, “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag,” leaked by Gawker , the former vice-presidential candidate slams the reality show for hosting what she refers to as “talent deprived” contestants. “Did you ever wonder where the producers of ‘American Idol’ come up with the seemingly endless supply of people who can’t sing but are deluded enough to get in front of a national television audience and screech out a song anyway?” Palin asks in the book. Palin, whose daughter Bristol Palin is currently on the reality show “Dancing With the Stars,” goes on to say those unqualified contestants who appear on “Idol” are “victims of the cult of self-esteem.” “No one they’ve encountered in their lives — from their parents to their teachers to their president — wanted them to feel bad by hearing the truth,” she writes. “So they grew up convinced they could become big pop stars like Michael Jackson.” But it’s not all criticism. Palin praises former judge Simon Cowell for dishing out hard truths to the competitors. “Cowell can be a little harsh at times, but he upholds the highest standards and something in us recognizes and responds to that,” she writes. “Unfortunately Cowell is almost alone in his willingness to tell hard truths.” Palin further argues that “hard truths” are necessary, as “a growing chorus of voices is trying to convince our kids that hard work isn’t necessary anymore.” Palin’s memoir is set to be released on Tuesday (November 23). What do you think about Sarah Palin’s “American Idol” critique? Tell us in the comments.
