Not since Brooke Hogan had a reality series have we been so excited.

The BIO channel (formerly Biography) has ordered ten half-hour episodes of an untitled Bristol Palin reality series. 

The daughter of Sarah Palin will move from Alaska to seek fame and fortune (like she doesn’t already have it) in Los Angeles.  She has young son Tripp, age 2, with her.  She moves in with her good friends Chris and Kyle Massey and works for a small charity.  She can only hope that mom will drop by to help with ratings.

There’s no date for this but filming is under way.

BIO notes that “she’s the most famous single mother in America.  And she became a national media darling during her odds-defying, ratings record-breaking run on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ ,”  So therefore she’s worthy of a reality series.

While on “Dancing,” Bristol became extremely close with fellow contestant, actor Kyle Massey.  Since the show, Bristol, Kyle, and Kyle’s brother, actor Christopher Massey, have become best friends; so much so, that since Bristol and Tripp have to move to Los Angeles for her new job, she decides to move in with the Massey brothers who are also about to realize how much their lives are about to change. 

“Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to,” say BIO officials in a prepared statement. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she’s opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers.“
