A suspicious package was sent to the set of "Dancing with the Stars" this week, reportedly over Bristol Palin - echoing a similar event that happened when she was on the show two years ago.

An FBI source confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that FBI agents, along with police, fire and health officials, responded to a report of a suspicious mailing at the set of ABC's reality competition, which is filmed at CBS Studios in Los Angeles.

"Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars"

The white powder inside the package was deemed harmless by law enforcement, THR added, but they are treating it as serious investigation.

No other information was provided, but TMZ reports that a note attached to the package read something along the lines of, "This is what will happen to you if Bristol stays on [the show]."

Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is currently competing on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars." When she was first on "DWTS" in 2010, another threatening letter containing a white powder was delivered to the show's production office. That substance was also determined to be harmless.

Palin and her partner, Mark Ballas, were spared elimination on Tuesday's "DWTS: All-Stars" results show, earning enough votes to return next week despite receiving the lowest scores from the judges.

Is it really necessary to pretend that Sarah Palin didn't run for President because she was worried about getting packages in the mail? Sarah doesn't exactly sound like a walking idiot--more like a con artist--and Sarah saw that with 70% of the voters polled saying that they wouldn't even consider casting a vote for the Queen of Quitters, she could see the writing on the wall. She needed to hire hundreds of staff members to polish up her political image and re-write history. After quitting the job of Governor mid term, she showed that she was unable to handle the pressure of running a small state--being President would be a thousand times harder. Besides, it was more fun being a media ***** and celebrity wannabe. And Bristol's soap opera was a dud; her book was a flop; and nobody looked at her as a role model--what's left: being a cheerleader for Dancing with the Stars. And Dancing with the Stars is just waiting for Bristol to go on her tirade and give all the people who think she is a terrible dancer the middle finger. Maybe she will even gouge out the eyes of Carrie Ann is she dares to give her a low score again!
