Bristol Palin is filming another* reality show, this time for the Lifetime network (which, up to now, has been known to me mostly for Golden Girls reruns, men-are-evil movies, and Denise Austin). In it, viewers will see the life of a non-glamorized single mother raising her three-year-old son, Tripp.

Lifetime announced Wednesday that Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp will see a 10-episode run on the network later this year.
Focusing on the former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's daughter's life as a single mother with son Tripp, the series will follow the young Palin's new life in her native Alaska after brushes with fame on Dancing With the Stars.
Good for Bristol. I'd certainly be willing to watch this show (if I got Lifetime, that is).
Now, of course, this will bring out all Bristol's detractors yet again to waste inordinate amounts of time whining that Bristol isn't a star, or that she's a publicity hound (the actual term they would use is not suitable for this blog), or that her family is stupid (the perennial fallback insult), or whatever. But Bristol, I think, has proven that she can handle her detractors just fine, and I don't think things will be any different now. And it isn't as if she's just been waiting for someone to offer her a reality show; she's been working a regular job, as I understand it, and I'm sure this offer was unsolicited and probably welcome in that it will certainly help with raising her son.
And besides, what were you going to watch? I guarantee you will see a better program watching Bristol than you would watching, say, mom-to-be Snooki.
* There was a previous show that she was filming with Dancing With the Stars competitor Kyle Massie, but apparently it was shelved.
