I read she was iun a bar too,but I think it was part of a clip for DWTSs. Her partner was with her and he sang to the audience.

Texannie, it is illegal in Anchorage. HB 214 allows bar and liquor store owners, or any alcohol licensee, to bring a civil suit against a minor if they are caught on their licensed premises, or attempting to enter in violation of the law. This is in addition to the criminal penalty state law allows for minors on licensed premises. Currently, the criminal penalty is a Class A misdemeanor, which carries a maximum fine up to $5,000 and up to one year in jail.

Didn't know it varied so much. If they check ID's at the door, who let her in? And yes, she is a mom, but she is also only 19. I know plenty of my son's friends who would try to do the same thing.

Patrick Stewart for his panache. Mohommad Ali 30 years ago for his elegant moves. I still think Sarah Fergeson would be fun.

A state investigator is reportedly looking into a "Dancing with the Stars" segment that 19-year-old Bristol taped inside Rumrunner's Old Towne Bar and Grill on Thursday. But a source extremely close to Bristol tells TMZ ... "The place is also a restaurant ... so under 21 is allowed under Alaska law if accompanied by a person over 21, which she was." Bristol was with her partner Mark Ballas during the segment -- and he's 24. http://foreign.peacefmonline.com/entertainment/201009/86649.php I like Sarah Palin and have been voting for Bristol, does that make me a bad person?

Like I said-I believe she went in with a camera crew-maybe they shut the bar down at that time and didnt serve alcohol-maybe then it would be legal? I could legally start drinking when I was 18 but really started sneaking in to bars at 16,a 19 yr old mother ought to be able to go inside at least. Ooops posted at the same time. I like Sarah Palin too but not as a President but possibly somewhere in Washington.

I actually like the idea of Capt Sig. He wanted to do it badly and I think he's be great fun to watch try to dance! Although from the video's I've seen there are better dancing choices from the Bering Sea bunch. Plus this way we'll for sure get to see our Fav Capt's (well sadly can't get MY fav anymore...I miss Phil already!). And FYI much as I don't believe Bristol is a star and doesn't belong on the show, she is there so I think Jb you have every right to vote for whoever you are enjoying and want to support!

From what I've heard about Alaska laws, the "accompanied by a person over 21" has to be a parent or guardian type. The dance partner doesn't qualify as such.

Tom B, said the booing was because they felt Jennifer Grey should have gotten 9's instead of 8's. I like this season and am glad the judges are giving more accurate scores than last year.

When you look at other people who scored an 8, it's just ridiculous that Ms Grey only got an 8. Should she have gotten 9s? No, I don't think so, but I do think some very mediocre dancing is getting 7s and 8s. Frankly, I thought the 3 for Mr Bolton was the right score, just as I thought the 6s for Ms Cho were correct. But IMO way too many of them received better scores than they deserved, so if we are judging by that rubric, just give Ms Grey a 9 or 10 and be done with it. It's like the worst kind of grade inflation that's ruined undergraduate education--average have moved from C to B and anyone slightly better than average gets a B+ or some version of A. Je ne l'aime pas. I have no opinion one way or the other about Mrs or Ms Palin. I'd never heard of them before DWTS started.

I'm surprised there is so much controversy over Bristol being on the show. I would think if you didn't like her or didn't want to see her mother in the audience or being interviewed, you would simply turn the channel. Although I didn't vote for her mother, I still respect her as a politician and as a mother and admire Bristol for being on the show. I'm enjoying seeing her come out of her shell . . It would be difficult to get anyone like Kelly Ripa on the show or any other "working" stars due to the time this show takes (several months if you do well?) and the hours required to practice which limits other work and/or family time. The network wants contestants who will bring viewers . . like the Situation. His show is HUGE and they probably want to lure the MTV type viewers who normally don't watch.

As a non-fan of Bristol, I don't get the hoopla about her being in that restaurant/bar. There are many places that are called "bars", that allow minors in until a certain hour. Now if they showed her downing shots of tequila, that would be another thing...but nachos? Whoop-dee-doo! Surely there must be bigger news out there somewhere.

No Jbfrommi, it doesn't make you a "bad" person, just a very brave one, same to you Nan and others. If the worst thing someone can say about a person, while trying to dig up dirt, is that he or she walked into a bar while underage, then I say move on. Why are people trying to make mountains out of mole hills? Next thing you'll read is they are going to try to take Bristol's child away from her due to her horrible disregard for the law and everything holy and descent, and walked, yes folks, I'm telling you, walked right into a bar! Oh, where is the death penalty when you need it? For heavens sake, find something better to do with your time, like finding out if Mayor Berry has visited any more prostitutes or how many grams of Cocaine he used in a day, Oh, I forgot, that's no big deal, but walking into a bar, now that's got to be a felony. I think every single college kid in the USA would have a record if walking into a bar underage was strictly enforced.

I not only walked into a bar underage but I got a little drunk (ok maybe alot) too. I had a fake license that worked most of the time. Made me so mad that when I finally turned legal.... Nobody ever carded me.

Can I just say that I'm having a good time reading all of these posts? All the back and forth is really amusing. :-) Anyway, Bolton being gone makes me very happy. His dancing was horrendous; almost MasterP territory here. Yeah, Bruno was pretty harsh in his critique but it was all true. Maybe he could have said it nicer but then it probably would have sounded condescending. Looking forward to next week. I love this show, even with 'non' celebrities. It's all about the dancing, the pros, and entertainment.

Costa, no one will get into trouble, least of all Bristol, because she's a PALIN. They'll shove it under the rug and make light of it the same way they always do. I suspect they may try to "twist" the story to sound like she was performing some sort of activist duty so she can come out smelling like a rose. Some people are made to pay for their mistakes. Others are glorified for their mistakes. So I'm with Lurk on this one. She has no business being on the show. I also think the audience DID boo Sara Palin. There was a bit of a delay, and it had nothing to do with the dancers scores. The DWTS producers are just trying to save face. And I personally see no problem with people booing her if that's what they felt like doing. She put herself in that position by showing up to an audience that wasn't Tea Party Republican! Besides, when she's on stage, she has no problem with spewing not-so-nice falsehoods about others! Obviously I feel no pity for her if she were booed.

Chief, Oh, I get it, it's ok to boo people if they're not surrounded by like minds. That's not rude or anything, just fair? So if Pelosi, or Reed, or Frank or Obama are in the audience and it's not a Democratic function, it would be Ok to boo them? I was taught a little differently, that you extend to people the same courtesy as you would like others to extend to you. You're saying it serves Sarah Palin right to be somewhere other than a Tea Party function, then she can be booed. So sad, terribly sad. I'm really terrified for the coming elections, already so much hated and anger and exaggerations, wow. Bristol is probably not extended the same privileges as most children of notable people, the Kennedy misdeeds were constantly being hushed up in the media, as was the behavior of the older Kennedys. They keep things quiet as long as possible, then someone leaks it and they had to address the story. For goodness sakes, Bristol can't blow her nose without some paper saying she has a terrible disease which she is purposely spreading to infect the world, see, she's blowing her nose!! I think if we are to be just a tiny bit honest here, we have to admit the media is liberal, so it's an uphill battle for most conservatives. It was very brave for Bristol to appear on this show, I didn't know just how brave until I've seen all the ridiculous comments. If she was an unwed mother from the barrio or the hood, everyone would be all over themselves praising her for her grace and poise, let's be honest with ourselves, shall we, honesty, what a refreshing concept.

Hey where's that dancing thread again? It seems to have been misplaced. I think what's more controversial is that Derek has once again been tagged with a ringer.

Nickovtyme, you're right, back to DWTS, Florence Henderson always amazes me. I hope she goes far, does anyone know her age, she really is amazing.
