Bristol Palin to hit the paid lecture circuit, speaking about teen pregnancy



Bristol Palin (Eric Thayer/Reuters) Bristol Palin is taking her burgeoning career as a don't-be-a-teen-mom-like-me advocate to the next level by hitting the lecture circuit. Thomas Van Flein, an attorney for the Palin family, told the Associated Press that the 19-year-old has signed with a firm called Single Source Speakers and is expected to earn between $15,000 and $30,000 per speaking gig. (Her mom is commanding roughly $100,000 a speech these days.) That kind of cash should do a lot to supplement her current income, working in an Anchorage doctor's office - but it's hardly the younger Palin's first foray into the business of advocacy. A year ago - just months after giving birth to son Tripp - she began a series of interviews and public appearances on behalf of the Candie's Foundation (prompting her to set up a public relations/lobbying firm in her own name). This summer, she'll make her acting debut playing herself in a teen pregnancy-theme episode of ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
