Bristol Palin is about to embark on an entertainment career by making her acting debut on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, RadarOnline.com has learned.

EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT: Bristol Palin Fires Back At Levi Johnston In Child Support Battle
Bristol will be playing herself as one of Amy’s (Shailene Woodley) friends at a music program for teen mothers, in an episode to be shot in Los Angeles, CA.
“I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy,” the eldest daughter of former Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin said in a statement.
The show’s executive producer is also excited to have the 19-year-old guest star on the teen drama.
“Bristol Palin is the most famous teenage mother in America,” Brenda Hampton said. “We’re thrilled to have her join us, and I think she will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we’ve been exploring for a couple of seasons now.”
Bristol’s episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager will air sometime this summer when the series returns for its third season on ABC Family.
Ironically, Bristol will be heading back to court in Alaska on Thursday for a hearing to calculate how much child support her former boyfriend Levi Johnston should pay for their 3-month-old son Tripp.

This whole family is 'retarded'- Palin, and her brood, are a bunch of phoney, hypocrite liars.
JUST STAY IN ALASKA, stop whining that everyone's 'mean' to you, and your family, & collect
your huge speaking fees from idiot conseratives.

Well said Iaman! I can tell you one group who really loves the Palins is the Democrats. If this moron is the best the GPO has to offer, the Democrats are all set.

I hope she factors in all of the money she makes when she demands $1,600 a month in child support from Levi. Ha, yeah, right.

I'm just glad she has an opportunity to make money to feed her child. Maybe now she won't criticize Levi for making money in entertainment. Just don't put the kid on tv please.

Um I think that's what she IS doing. She's the one who lives with her son, takes care of him, works a job and goes to school. And Levi does what exactly?????

I know whatcha mean, Grannyb! In this case, though, I think it was from riding on mommy's coat tails. Of course, I have no idea why anyone would listen to her mother but they do.
