With the news that Bristol Palin will join the cast of the eleventh season of Dancing With the Stars this fall, we decided to take a look back at some other famous (or "famous") people who parlayed tabloid infamy, public humiliation, and negligible familiarity with the pachanga into a stint on ABC's increasingly misnamed foxtrot free-for-all.
A reality show isn't the greatest place to find true love (just ask any of the Flavor of Love/Rock of Love girls, Bachelors and Bachelorettes), and it certainly isn't an ideal environment for an already-in-love couple's relationship to blossom. We're all painfully aware of the destruction reality TV has caused Jon and Kate Gosselin, but let's take a look at some of the other big-time couples who have been cursed by the small screen....Hulk and Linda Hogan, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Kevin Federline and Britney Spears, Peter Andre and Katie Price, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler...
Meet The Barkers, they are an on-again, off-again couple. You may know Travis Barker from rock band Blink 182 and you may know Shanna Moakler from MySpace. Per Perez Hilton, the couple recently suffered a breakup and a rumored rendezvous with Gerard Butler may have been the cause. Don't worry, they should yo-yo their way back into each others' heart in no time.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler have decided to reunite after Travis' near-death experience brought them together again.
