Someone really doesn’t want Bristol Palin on Dancing With the Stars, said the New York Post. A CBS office in West Hollywood opened a package addressed to the reality TV star filled with a mysterious powdery substance, along with a note reading, “This is what will happen to you if Bristol Palin stays on [the show].” The powder is reportedly harmless, but the FBI and the LAPD are said to be looking into threats against Palin, whose mother, Sarah Palin, ran for vice president in 2008.
