Aside from what the heck Catherine Kieu Becker’s husband must have done to get his penis sliced off , it’s the question on everyone’s minds these days: Will Bethenny Frankel have another child?!? The reality star answered this question, sort of, during a promotional stop yesterday for Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse & Restore. “We’re talking about [having another baby], but not really actively trying,” Frankel told People . “There’s anxiety because of my age, to be honest, but I don’t want to make choices based on fear.” Fair enough. What about adorable daughter Bryn? What is she up to these days? “This week she started walking,” Bethenny said. “She’s flying now. It went from 12 steps, no pun intended, to now fully walking through the house… I get to be with her all the time, she travels with me. I’m able to be a great mother and still do everything I need to do with work.” [Photo: WENN.com]
Mercede Johnston, younger sister of Levi Johnston, is following in her brother’s nude footsteps and taking it all off for the cameras come September! The 18-year-old Mercede will be featured in a four-page nude pictorial in Playboy’s September issue, a magazine spokesperson confirmed today. Rumors of Mercede baring all in Playboy first surfaced in February. She has often been an outspoken critic of Bristol Palin , whose virginity Levi stole way back when, then went on to impregnate in early 2008. Like her sibling, Mercede Johnston tells – and bares – it all . In Palin’s new memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far , Bristol detailed giving it up to Levi while drunk off wine coolers on a camping trip. Suffice it to say, Mercede takes issue with Bristol’s account. “Does anybody really believe a good Christian girl, as Bristol claims to be, would really lose her virginity in a tent?” Mercede seethed on her blog . “I don’t think so. Usually girls want their first time to be meaningful and special,” she said, adding that Palin should’ve called it Not Afraid of Lies . The female Johnston continued to defend her brother after Palin claimed Levi “stole her virginity” in the book and on her recent media tour. As Barbara Walters even pointed out, how can Bristol say he “stole” it when the boning continued for a long time after that tenting session? “After she made those hurtful and indefensible statements in her book about my brother, I decided no matter how uncomfortable I feel talking about this … it is something which I must do,” Mercede wrote July 4. “No one deserves to be accused of such a horrendous thing. Especially not my brother who, believe it or not, truly loved Bristol with all of his heart.” Hopefully, Mercede puts her heart and soul into this Playboy shoot. After Levi’s Playgirl effort, she’s got big shoes to fill. Their parents? So proud.
