Bristol Palin: Working as Receptionist in Alaska!

Bristol Palin had a great run as a D-list celebrity. But it's over.

By choice or not, who knows. But following her appearance on the Dancing With the Stars finale, she realized life in the spotlight wasn’t all glitz and glamour.

As a result, she high-tailed it back to Alaska, where she works the reception desk at a dermatologist’s office in Anchorage and lives with son Tripp. Aww.

The turning point, Bristol tells In Touch (the official Palin family publication) came last September, when she was accosted at Saddle Ranch in Los Angeles.

After footage of the altercation went viral, Bristol Palin realized she was done with show business and that she’d never felt totally at home in the Lower 48.

“I wasn’t really into the Hollywood thing,” says Bristol, whose reality show was just nixed. “After that, I realized I was over it. I was ready to come home.”

The best interest of three-year-old son Tripp was also a factor.
