And how much does Bristol Palin, 20, make doing for-profit social service? Well, when she was 18, Bris-Bris became teen ambassador for the Candie's Foundation (an offshot of Candie's apparel), which pays stars to raise awareness about teen pregnancy. She still works for them. Documents posted online by GuideStar show that in 2009 the daughter of author and markswoman Sarah Palin made more than $262,500 with Candie's. Almost as much as from Dancing With the Stars! Reports say stars are paid $125K to appear, plus $20K each week you hang on, up to $275K total. Bouncing Bris hung on almost all the way, you'll recall.
Seismic event strikes L.A.
Oof! Dancing With the Stars may as well have been titled Collapsing With the Stars Monday night, after Kirstie Alley's partner, heroic Maksim Chmerkovskiy, in mid-rhumba, suffered a thigh event, caving in under the intense gravitational pull exerted by Kirstie, and they plummeted to the stage. It's not her fault, so Maks says judges and voters should overlook the tumble. Being a magnanimous lot, they'll probably kill them for it. Kirstie isn't sore at Maks, at least not spiritually: She tweeted later, "I salute u... U r a gladiator .... A champion... I'm honored to be your partner."
Hilariously, K17.com reports Kirstie got a tattoo on her left inside wrist to commemorate the fall! It's the word Unbroken. Yes, but what about the stage?
