Bristol Palin to guest star on ABC Family's 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'
Sarah Palin tested her comedy acting chops during the presidential primary with a guest appearance on "SNL" and now daughter Bristol Palin is following in her mama's TV footsteps and testing her dramatic acting chops.Bristol, arguably the most famous teenage mom in America, will appear in an episode of ABC Family's drama, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
"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," says Palin in a statement to Zap2it.
The 19-year-old mother will be playing herself, as one of Amy's (Shailene Woodley) friends at a music program for teen mothers.
The Dish Rag wonders if the show will highlight any hot tips on how to get child support out of an alleged deadbeat dad... perhaps Levi Johnston could make himself available for a guest appearance?
The episode is set to air this summer during the series' third season on ABC Family.

Has she watched this show? It's not educational. Unless of course you call saying the word sex 50 times in each episode educational. This is such a wrong move. Nothing says "take me seriously" like guesting on the most ridiculous show on television...
So are jokes about her promiscuity now okay? And I thought the Palin's were victims of the savage and unfair media, doesn't this kind of make them media ##ores?
Bristol will fit right in on this trashfest masquerading as a TV show. ABC Family? There's nothing "family" about this craptacular. What a difference from the producer's last show, which was 7th Heaven.
