We noticed something interesting when this season’s celebrity cast of Dancing With the Stars arrived at the studio last night. Audrina Patridge – big smile on her face. David Hasselhoff posed with a “Don’t Hassel the Hoff” shirt for us. Kyle Massey was happy, jovial, and chatty. But Bristol Palin? Bristol looked like she was about to enter the sixth circle of hell.

She managed a painfully forced, tight smile for about two seconds, and then it almost looked like she was going to cry. Seriously Bristol, it’s just a foxtrot. No one’s knocking you up before the Republican convention. Worse things have happened.

If this is what Bristol looks like now, what’s going to happen to her face when she’s dancing live in front of millions of people – and being judged?
