Bristol Palin is finally getting her own reality show. Sort of.

BIO (the cable network formerly known as the Biography Channel) has ordered ten episodes of a new, untitled half-hour series featuring Bristol Palin, son Trip, and Kyle Massey, the That's So Raven star Palin bonded with when they were both contestants on Dancing With The Stars. According to the BIO press release, Bristol and Trip will move from Alaska to Los Angeles so she can work "at a small charity," during which time they'll live with Massey and his brother Christopher, star of Zoey 101.

"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," explained Dave McKillop, BIO's executive vice president of programming. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers."

The episodes are scheduled to air later this year. There's no word on whether the move will be a permanent one.
