Bristol Palin on Bill Maher: What a Joke!

Bill Maher loves to make jokes at Bristol Palin’s expense. The daughter of Sarah Palin, whose new reality show premieres next month, says he IS a joke. On June 19, Lifetime debuts Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp . Whether the new series succeeds or not is an open question. How Maher feels about her is not. The comedian and talk show recently joked that Bristol will probably name her next baby Colt 45, after what Bristol’s drinking when she gets pregnant. That dig, also directed at her baby daddy Levi Johnston, who has another kid on the way (with Sunny Oglesby ), did not go over well with Bristol Palin . Asked what she thinks of Maher , she told Zap2it, “I find it really weird that all these adult men, that they’re always trying to say something about me.” “They’re older than my dad. They’re just evil. They’re like little girls. I feel like I’m in high school with a bunch of teenage girls. It’s very strange to me.” Regarding what she’d say to Maher, Palin says, “I don’t know. I’m not sure what I would say. I’d kind of shake my head at him. I think he’s a joke.” “My mom just heard me say something about Bill Maher [and said], ‘I’d punch him in the throat!’ Someone does need to put him in his place, though.” “If my dad or any of my guy friends got a hold of him, he’d have another think coming,” she adds in jest … or not really. “He really is a joke.” Maybe so, but that Tweet above was pretty funny.

Lady Gaga Fears Terrorist Attack, Cancels Indonesian Concert

Lady Gaga is so terrified that Islamic terrorists might attack her and/or her mega-concert in Indonesia, she cancelled the upcoming show, her reps confirmed. Gaga’s management team announced today there were major security concerns regarding the June 3 gig in Jakarta, the nation’s capital city. Extremists were calling to ban Gaga , fearing that her risque costumes, song lyrics and embrace of homosexuality would corrupt Muslim youths. The Indonesian Council of Ulema chairman, Cholil Ridwan, fervently urged a boycott, saying Gaga “intends to destroy the nation’s morality.” Security concerns for the concert skyrocketed from such beliefs, so much so the Jakarta police refused to issue the star’s tour a permit. This in spite of the fact that 52,000 tickets had already been sold. Given the current lack of permit, and the rising security threats, Gaga’s team threw in the towel and decided to officially cancel today. Gaga then released a statement Sunday via Twitter saying, “I’m so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you if not more.” “You are everything to me. I promise I will try to put together something special for you. My love for Indonesia has only grown.” The 26-year-old has courted controversy everywhere in Asia. South Korean critics also called for a boycott; She sang in the Philippines amid death threats, and most recently performed and shopped for a fake Rolex in Bangkok. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]
