Bristol Palin takes a step toward Twitter

Published July 19, 2012 4:00am ET



After being the victim of various parody accounts, Bristol Palin admits she’s not a huge fan of Twitter, but this week, she bit the bullet and joined the social networking site — sort of.

On Wednesday, Palin created the handle @BristolsBlog, which links to her Patheos.com blog. “And so, in a way, I’ve relented,” she wrote. “Though it’s not my personal Twitter account, it will keep you up to date on all the good, fun, posts on this blog.” Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s eldest daughter is the star of the reality show “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp,” which, thanks to poor ratings, was bumped to a later time slot to make room in the cable network’s schedule for another hour of “Dance Moms.”

And, speaking of dancing, next week, ABC is set to announce an all-star cast for “Dancing With the Stars,” something Palin is rumored to be a part of.
