Whether you love, or hate Sarah Palin, she is a ratings grabber. Many want to see her make a fool of herself, while she has just as many supporters it appears. IT is no surprise to me that she has gone straight celebrity life since the election. I always pictured her doing a radio show, or a reality TV show eventually, and it appears we are almost there.
Of course, the pitch for this reality show is about Alaska. It is being pitched as a "TV docudrama about Alaska" to executives at Fox, CBS, and NBC. According to one of Rice's sources, the show is a "planet-Earth type look" at Alaska. The Palin family of course is going to appear.
Good luck with that whole "Alaska" thing. People either want to see her vindicate herself as someone considered to be less than intelligent, or they want to see her look like Ozzy on The Osbournes. I just don't see the Alaska pitch working so well. This show will be abut The Palins, and I wouldn't be shocked if it was called that as well.
Hope she has a nice supply of lipozene, because she is going to be on camera an awful lot soon. For entertainment purposes you may want to check out the Huffington Post article on this since they seem to rile up the best Conservatives, and the Liberals are certainly uppity there.

Alice in Wonderland Could Outpace Avatar's Opening Weekend?
According to Reuters, some are estimating that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland opening Friday could actually make more than Avatar its opening weekend.
Avatar is now the biggest grossing movie of all-time, and it is unlikely that Alice in Wonderland would even approach that over the long run, but to beat its opening weekend would certainly be a nice start for the film unless the box office hits fatburner.org and these estimates aren't even close..
Quite a surprising estimate to me. While I am interested in seeing this, I didn't think this type of movie would resonate that well with most people. Tim Burton may make some movies that appear to be for kids, but they are basically kids movies that kids shouldn't see. Alice in Wonderland certainly fits the role of the Adult Fairy Tale if the dark sides of the story are used for the theme. OF course I expect Burton to use these themes and thus make kids not want to see it.

Pre-release tracking indicates the Disney film could ring up $75 million or more through Sunday. "Avatar" opened to $77 million in mid-December on its way to becoming the biggest movie of all time.
"Alice" also bows this week in 41 foreign territories; Japan, Spain, China and several other countries will get "Alice" in future months.
