She’s still pitching her book, still hoping someone will come out and see her when she shows up at a signing, but Bristol Palin isn’t able to pack 'em in the way she used to — if a recent classified ad on Craigslist was any measure. 
 
 Bristol was in D.C. over the weekend along with her mother, Sarah, who spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Bristol’s book, “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far,” came out in June last year and immediately slid off the radar after reviewers pretty much trashed her trash talk: “In the place of real insight, we frequently get catty asides,” wrote Stephen Lowman in The Post. “Some of her ex’s [Levi Johnston’s] trash-talk expertise must have rubbed off on her, because she dishes it out with aplomb.” 
 
 The public, too, seems to have lost its appetite for Bristol’s brand of spectacle. She had to turn to Craigslist to beg people to show up at a book signing on Saturday at Books-A-Million in the District. In an ad on the Web site, Palin offered free, autographed copies of her book to the first 100 people to RSVP. Even the conservative DC newspaper the Examiner noted that the ad was “an attempt to entice fans to attend the event.” 
 
 After first bursting into the spotlight during her mother’s run for the vice presidency in 2008, at which time it was revealed she was an out-of-wedlock pregnant teen, Bristol went on to slide across the floor as a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars.” She was herself the latest shooting star who was famous for a few moments for being famous, and now at last it seems the world is getting close to closing the book on her. ||||| BLOOMINGTON, MN - JUNE 29: Bristol Palin signs her book, “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” at the Best Buy Rotunda at Mall of America on June 29, 2011 in Bloomington, Minnesota.

 Bristol Palin has a new reality show coming out on Lifetime later this year, the network announced today. Aw, man, just as she was fading from public consciousness. Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp (dear God) will follow Bristol as she “adjusts to her life in Alaska” and “steadfastly [moves] forward both personally and professionally.” Bristol did Dancing With the Stars, appeared regularly on Sarah Palin’s Alaska, and last spring was working on an L.A.-set reality show about living with two former Nickelodeon stars — participating in yet another reality show does not qualify as “moving forward.” Either way, Palin Comparison would be a better title.
– Apparently Bristol Palin is a little bit desperate for people to show up to her book signings. Last week, in an ad posted on Craigslist, organizers offered free autographed copies of Palin's recent book to the first 100 people who promised to attend a weekend signing in Washington, DC, the Post reports—noting that Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far got trashed by reviewers and failed to become popular after it was released last year. The Post adds that even DC's right-leaning Examiner called the Craigslist ad "an attempt to entice fans to attend the event."
