If your last name’s Palin, it’s apparently mandatory to turn every mundane thing you do into some sort of televised event. For example, buying a home in Arizona.
Tonight on E!, Palin will give a tour of her new diggs to host Guiliana Rancic, as she and her son, Tripp, discuss a collection of mind-numbing topics like her new Italian boyfriend, and what it’s like to be in a long-distance relationship.
Yawn.
Palin, as you may recall, bought a house in Maricopa last year, and has since shown interest in a publicity stunt job offer from a Phoenix radio station.

Clear Channel’s Phoenix-based Mix 96.9 (KMXP-FM) offered Palin an on-air job earlier this month. At the time, the station’s director, Ron Price, insisted it wasn’t a publicity stunt.
“It is an official offer to a very well-known personality, who may be looking for a new career in what will most likely be her new home state,” Price said at the time.
Palin was on the Bob & Mark Show, on an Anchorage radio station a few weeks later and called Price’s bluff. She now says she’s actually planning to pursue the gig.
“I’m working on a few different projects,” she said. About the KMXP job, she added, “I’m going to meet with them and see if it’s actually legitimate and see if I would like the guy I would be on air with.”
If you’re dying to know what the inside of Bristol Palin’s house looks like, you can check it out tonight on E! at 7 p.m. and again at 11:30 p.m. Or you could always just stick hot pokers into your eyeballs, whichever you prefer.
