In Touch Weekly: Bristol Palin Leaves Show Biz, Returns to AK

Bristol Palin has left the bright lights, glitz and glamor of Hollywood and returned home to Wasilla and her old job as a receptionist at an Anchorage Dermatologist’s office, she said in an exclusive interview given to In Touch Weekly. She is temporarily living in an apartment underneath her mom’s TV studio. “It’s great having Bristol here,” Gov. Palin told In Touch. “She makes good decisions, and she’s always thinking long-term about her and Tripp’s future.”
Bristol’s turning point came last September when a patron at a Los Angeles bar launched an unprovoked hate-filled attack against Bristol and her family. With three-year-old Tripp getting ready for pre-school, Bristol wanted to get him settled into a normal routine where he could enjoy the great outdoors.
The London Daily Mail earlier today reported on this story, embellishing it with their own fabricated details and misspelling “Wasilla” with two “s’s”.

P.S. BTW, she looks FABULOUS in that In Touch photo – WOW!! Looks like she lost some weight, too. Good for her – and best of everything as she moves her life forward!

Glad she’s home with her parents for the time being – a great way to help normalize her life and that of her little boy. All very natural and healthy – much more so than West LA, fergawdssake!! I’d heard that she’d rented her house in AZ, but I also heard that she was going back to school! And what happened to the “charity project” she was working on with Kyle Massey (from DWTS) and his brother?
Life in the limelight WITHOUT a burning passion for and total dedication to “the biz” is empty and unfilling, to say the least. I think she’d do well to take some college courses (I heard that she had good grades in high school) either at the University of AK/Anchorage or the local community college. I can’t imagine her returning to that job at the medical office, but it definitely would be a very grounding experience!!
