After it was revealed that Bristol Palin made it through to the finals of “Dancing With the Stars” late last year, shock jock radio host Howard Stern went on quite the rampage, announcing that she “is the first contestant in the history of the hit ABC show to get fatter as the show goes on,” and that she “must be eating everything in sight."
Comedienne Kathy Griffin also jumped on the Palin “fat” attack while hosting VH1’s “Salute to the Troops” last month, mocking the 20-year-old for gaining “30 pounds per week” during the show and referring to her as the obese “white Precious.”
Amused? Well, one person who certainly wasn’t laughing was Palin’s dancing competitor, Brandy Norwood.
“It offends me (when I hear people talking about Bristol’s weight like that.) and sometimes the media can be a little harsh on celebrities and forget that they’re people just like everyone else,” Norwood told FOX411’s Pop Tarts while promoting the second season of her VH1 reality show “Brandy and Ray J: Family Business,” which explores the personal and professional challenges the siblings face as they expand their personal and professional empires. “She shouldn’t be treated unfairly. I’m ‘Team Bristol.’ You won’t ever catch me saying anything negative about Bristol.”
Despite Norwood’s critical appraisal for her dancing skills and stream of high scores, she was beaten for a coveted spot in the “DWTS” finals by Palin. However, there are certainly no hard feelings and Norwood isn’t echoing the public outcry that Palin didn’t deserve such success simply because the judges weren’t giving her the numbers....

If I didn’t have a daughter who was the right age when Brandy was a Disney kid... I wouldn’t have a clue either.... but I do and Brandy is a talented young woman and obviously has shown some class (a true phenomenon in Hollywoodland) by admonishing the “over eager destroy them at all odds press” re: Bristol Palin.
She sounds very nice — thanks for the precis :)
Well, I don’t go for girls, but if you are a guy then I understand your post.

I am impressed if she said that.
Is there a usual treatment for cats who have been mercilessly exposed to Kat Griffin? ;)
Aaaggghhhh...I’m gonna have nightmares!
Old Mose in the movie “Searchers” was better looking than that thing.
That face would make a cat jump off a Gut Wagen!
Thanks for that picture. I’ll print a copy and post it on my refrigerator door. Maybe it’ll help me lose weight once and for all ;)
Kathy Griffin: you’re supposed to pluck your eyeBROWS not all of your eyeLASHES.
Holy mother of bridge trolls, Batman!
I’m sorry, that can’t be a real picture of Griffin.
I’m speechless...
Wow..looks like she could be on “faces of meth”.
You should have gave a warning before posting that. I want to thank you in advance for the nightmares I am going to have tonight.
