(CBS) Bristol Palin may have just realized that her 15 minutes of fame are up.

In a new interview with In Touch Weekly, Bristol says she's done with Hollywood and is instead, enjoying her quieter life back in Wasilla, Alaska, with her 3-year-old son Tripp. They have temporarily moved into the apartment underneath her mother Sarah Palin's TV studio.

"I wasn't really into the Hollywood thing," explained Bristol, who realized it was time to move back home in September after she was heckled at the Saddle Ranch bar in Los Angeles by a man launching insults about the Palin family.

"I just realized that I was over it," said the 21-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor. "I was ready to come home."

Life's a lot more low-key for Bristol, as she's now working at the reception desk at a dermatologist's office in Anchorage, reports In Touch. She's also getting Tripp ready for pre-school.

Meanwhile, Bristol's mother is glad to have her daughter nearby.

"It's great having Bristol here," Sarah Palin told In Touch. "She makes good decisions, and she's always thinking long-term about her and Tripp's future."

One person who's reportedly out of the picture, though, is Bristol's ex and Tripp's father, Levi Johnston. "He's not using his visitation, and he's not paying his child support," Bristol said.

Bristol may done with Hollywood (at least for now), but she's still maintaining an online social media presence.

"I cannot wait to see what God has in store for Tripp and me, and the rest of my family, in 2012!," she wrote recently in a Facebook post.

Perhaps Bristol can teach her crotchfruit how to bite the head off a live chicken. It could be just the thing to reinvigorate this white trash sideshow act and maybe even get the carnival bus back on the road ;-); Reply to this comment

Bristol is twice as smart as her mother. Of course two times zero is still zero

Beautiful Bristol Palin is too decent & dignified to blend with disgusting, sleazy Hollywood liberals.

It must have been because she thought she could hobnob with those sleazy Hollywood liberals and make millions by doing nothing of importance but she found out that she wasn't decent enough for them and decided to high tail it back to Alaska.

I like her. She's does what she wants and doesn't ask anyone's permission. She's living her life like she enjoys he life. After reading all of the negative comments in this article I tend to think most of you liberal idiots sit in front of a TV and criticize anyone that does something you want to do yourself. But don't have the motivation to actually do it. What a bunch of liberal losers you all sound like.

by erasmus111 January 8, 2012 2:08 PM EST: Why would you think it's just the Liberals that don't like her? I'm not a Liberal and I think she's an idiot.

Now what is pathetic is the fact that you like her just because she's a Republican. She's one of "YOU", so therefore she must be great, right?


by StewieEsq January 8, 2012 3:11 PM EST: So for which Republican family value do you most admire her? having unprotected sex as an underage teenager? Being an unwed teen mother fortunate enough to have parents with the means to support her and the baby? Not bothering to go to college and taking a low wage job? Yeah, she does what she wants and doesn't ask anyone's permission [odd that you applaud this since this is often a right wing condmenation of young liberals]; she also does not appear to consider the consequences of her choices. Yet if she were in the same situation [a single mother with no college education or job skills] and did not have parents with the financial means to ensure she did not end up on the street or on welfare [excluding Alaska's welfare for residents oil subsidy payments], you would probably be complaining about system suckers.

Get real, Bristol, you failed in Los Angeles because you're a Christian fundamentalist hillbilly. You're fat, ugly, uninteresting, and have no talent whatsoever.
