If there was any question whether Margaret Cho was going to milk her blog war with Bristol Palin for more controversy during the comic’s show Saturday night in Miami Beach, it ended seconds after she walked onstage.

“I’m celebrating because I’m in a huge (frickin’) fight with Bristol Palin!” the Grammy-nominated performer announced exuberantly at The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, drawing thunderous hoots and shouts from an audience several hundred strong.

Cho claimed on her blog recently that Bristol, her Dancing With the Stars rival, was forced onto the show by Sarah Palin.

She repeated this assertion at The Fillmore, adding, “I didn’t dance a lot, so I had a lot of time to gossip (on the set).”

Palin, the daughter of 2008 vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is featured on the cover of Us Weekly with Johnston, holding their son, 18-month-old Tripp.

Bristol Palin tells the magazine that she finds the idea of telling her mother about her engagement “intimidating and scary.”

NEW YORK (AP) — An upcoming Fox News Channel special hosted by Sarah Palin is titled “Real American Stories.”

But rapper-actor LL Cool J says his participation in the show was bogus.

In response, the network has snipped him from the program.

In a Twitter posting late Tuesday, the entertainer wrote that Fox “lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW.” Read the full story

EW.com is reporting that the  show will have a “planet-Earth type look” at Palin’s home state of Alaska.

Sarah Palin says she’s going to play Tina Fey in an upcoming Las Vegas show.

Just kidding.

The former Republican vice presidential nominee turned into a standup comic on Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” Tuesday, dropping one-liners about the White House, Congress and Fey – the “Saturday Night Live” star known for her impression of the former Alaska governor.

Palin told Leno’s audience she planned to speak at a gun-rights convention: “Be there or else,” she warned them.

She said Alaska is different from California. In Los Angeles, “when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it’s Botox.” Read the full story

NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol will make her acting debut on the ABC Family drama series, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”

The network says the 19-year-old will play herself on an episode scheduled to shoot and air this summer. It will deal with the consequences of teen pregnancy.

The network calls Bristol Palin the most famous teenage mother in America. She was pregnant as her mother campaigned for vice president. Bristol Palin gave birth to her son, Tripp, in December 2008.

The TV series focuses on the relationships between families and friends and how they deal with teenage issues. It premiered two years ago, and its cast includes Molly Ringwald and Mark Derwin.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tina Fey will probably reprise her famous impression of Sarah Palin when she hosts “Saturday Night Live” in April, the comedian told The Associated Press.

“It’s inevitable that we’ll try it, at least,” Fey said in an interview Tuesday. “We’ll see if it makes it to air.”

Officials at the NBC sketch show wouldn’t comment; “SNL” generally doesn’t discuss any planned sketches, given that much can change even in the hours before show time.

Fey’s performances as the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate were an icon of the 2008 campaign and drew huge ratings for “SNL.” Read the full story

Sarah Palin is taking her conservative message to Fox News. An attorney for the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate says Palin will provide some type of commentary for the cable network.

Attorney Thomas Van Flein declined to elaborate on the deal.

Palin is hugely popular with conservatives and has more than 1 million Facebook followers.

She stepped down as Alaska governor in July, 17 months before the end of her first term in office. Her resignation came less than a year after she vaulted to overnight fame as John McCain’s running mate.

Palin worked part-time as a weekend sportscaster in the 1980s for KTUU-TV in Anchorage.

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin. The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family.

In Palin’s “Going Rogue,” Palin confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance and says she was kept “bottled up” from reporters during the campaign.

Palin also writes harshly of CBS anchor Katie Couric, whom she describes as “badgering” and biased. Palin’s series of interviews with Couric were widely regarded as disastrous, leaving the impression of an ill-informed candidate who was unsuited for the job.

The 413-page book with 16 pages of color photos but no index comes out Tuesday, Nov. 17. The Associated Press purchased a copy Thursday. “Going Rogue,” with a first printing of 1.5 million copies, has been at or near the top of Amazon.com and other best-seller lists for weeks, ever since publisher HarperCollins announced that the book had been completed quickly and the release date was being moved up from next spring.

The book follows Palin from childhood to her departure last summer as Alaska governor. It includes much of what her admirers, and detractors, expected: tributes to family and faith and patriotism, and attacks against the media and other perceived opponents.
