"Bristol Palin is no dance floor diva.\r\nDuring an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Friday, the 19-year-old Alaskan squashed rumors that she&amp;apos;s behaving like a diva during rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Literally, I was thinking about it today: the only thing I&amp;apos;ve ever asked for is a velcro mic pac so I don&amp;apos;t have to wear it on my belt loop,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s the only thing I&amp;apos;ve ever asked for.&amp;quot;\r\nAfter three days of rehearsals with dance pro Mark Ballas, Palin admits that she still feels &amp;quot;so uncoordinated and I don&amp;apos;t have any rhythm.&amp;quot;\r\nPalin -- who works as an office manager at a dermatologist&amp;apos;s office in Anchorage, Alaska -- says she was approached to be on the show via text message.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was sitting at my desk and I got a text message like, &amp;apos;Hey, want to join Dancing With the Stars?&amp;apos; and I was like, &amp;apos;Yeah!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she recalled. &amp;quot;Within the next week, we had signed the contract. Some people are like, &amp;apos;Do you really want to be in the spotlight?&amp;apos; but I&amp;apos;m having fun with it.&amp;quot;\r\nThroughout the interview, Palin also took a few digs at ex Levi Johnston, 20, father to the couple&amp;apos;s 2-year-old son Tripp.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s changed. Night and day, definitely,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;The guy I fell in love with was a hard-working Alaskan man that didn&amp;apos;t want to wear straight-legged jeans and get chased by Radar.&amp;quot;\r\nPalin also said she isn&amp;apos;t sure if she&amp;apos;d vote for Johnston, who is rumored to be running for the mayor of Wasilla (a position her mother Sarah previously held).\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;He needs to move to Wasilla [first],&amp;quot; she deadpanned. &amp;quot;He needs to get his G.E.D.&amp;quot;\r\nAdds Palin, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not disappointed. I&amp;apos;m not heartbroken. I tried to make it work for my son.&amp;#xA0; It didn&amp;apos;t work and I realize that we&amp;apos;re not meant to be and I&amp;apos;m just focused on being a good mom.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
