“She’s my number-one cheerleader and I can’t wait for her to come watch the performances and just see me in a whole new light,” Bristol said on her Tonight Show appearance.

Palin’s appearance hasn’t been confirmed, but TMZ is reporting that Bristol and her dance partner, Mark Ballas will have a shocking performance in which they cha cha to Three Dog Night’s “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” and Bristol will supposedly rip off some tear-away clothes.
