Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston Reflect on Hilariously Staged Engagement

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston recently got engaged . Again. While we don’t doubt that the parents of 18-month-old son Tripp are genuine in their feelings for each other, they’re clearly milking the reconciliation for all it’s worth, even putting celebrity gossip coverage ahead of family. In a poignant sit-down with Us Weekly , Bristol Palin reveals that her mother Sarah Palin “doesn’t really approve” of her surprise engagement to Levi. Perhaps because she wasn’t told beforehand? Just a guess. “She’s apprehensive and concerned. She doesn’t want to see me get hurt again,” says Bristol. “My mom is not 100 percent backing us up right now.” How did Bristol and Levi break the news to Sarah? Over the phone. “She knew Levi and I had been talking, but she wanted to know if Levi was really sincere about this,” says Bristol, admitting Us knew before her folks . “I told her we were working on our relationship for Tripp, and she told me, ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ She’s going to wait to see if he changes.” “People are more worried for me than excited for me,” she confesses. Sarah Palin’s feud with Levi is infamous, and her feelings evident in a vapid statement not congratulating them, but saying “Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.” Follow the jump for a video of the magazine’s interview with the probably soon-to-be newlyweds. WARNING : It’s easily a 9.5 out of 10 on the Cheese Meter. We can only imagine with their future reality show is going to be like: <object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ id=”ooyalaPlayer_4qbmc_gbv9bm13″ width=”500″ height=”250″ codebase=”http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab”><param name=”movie” value=”http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=E3eG9rMTqEY8kPqV5j69M4Qo2InFMA4t&version=2″ /><param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″ /><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always” /><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true” /><param name=”flashvars” value=”embedType=noscriptObjectTag&embedCode=E3eG9rMTqEY8kPqV5j69M4Qo2InFMA4t&autoplay=1&browserPlacement=right200px” /><embed src=”http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=E3eG9rMTqEY8kPqV5j69M4Qo2InFMA4t&version=2″ mce_src=”http://player.ooyala.com/player.swf?embedCode=E3eG9rMTqEY8kPqV5j69M4Qo2InFMA4t&version=2″ bgcolor=”#000000″ width=”600″ height=”300″ name=”ooyalaPlayer_4qbmc_gbv9bm13″ align=”middle” play=”true” loop=”false” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” flashvars=”&embedCode=E3eG9rMTqEY8kPqV5j69M4Qo2InFMA4t&autoplay=1&browserPlacement=right200px” pluginspage=”http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer”></embed></object> Bristol and Levi Interview

Did Mel Gibson Hit Oksana Grigorieva’s Son?

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The accusations against Mel Gibson keep piling up. The actor’s ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, claims he grabbed her son and threw him on a table in a rage. All over a cigarette, no less. Oksana’s son is 12, and his father is her ex, Timothy Dalton. The potential significance of the cigarette incident with Gibson is that may have been witnesses. That’s a stark contrast to the Mel Gibson tapes, which – despite their awfulness – were recorded without his consent, in unknown context, and possibly edited . With regard to the alleged attack on Oksana’s son Alexander, who also goes by Sacha, the boy was playfully trying to knock a cigarette out of Mel’s mouth. Oksana claims that Mel just exploded, grabbing the boy and throwing him violently onto a table. The issue came up during their custody mediation in May. At that point, Mel and Oksana were trying to work out an custody deal for daughter Lucia, eight months – and a financial settlement that involved the tapes. For reasons unknown, Oksana left $15 million on the table. In any case, Oksana’s people informed Mel’s lawyers of the attack, while his camp says “numerous adults and children” saw the incident – and differently. Mel’s lawyers claim witnesses will say it just goofing around and Mel did not get physical with Sacha, who accidentally fell as he was jumping for Mel’s smoke. The criminal domestic violence investigation hinges on credibility. Right now, it’s hard to establish who has it. The tapes are bad, but criminally, prove little. Robyn Gibson gave Mel a huge boost with her declaration last week, and if witnesses come forward to back him here too, Oksana’s credibility will take a hit. On a related note, Radar Online has obtained the photo of a bruised Lucia that Oksana is using to plead with police and the courts to strip Mel of custody. The photo of Lucia shows what looks like a small abrasion on her chin, which Oksana claims she sustained in a January 6 brawl in which Mel hit them both. Again, we’re not defending Mel or saying he’s not at fault, but the bruise looks very small, and could have occurred at any time and in any number of ways. Ultimately, the authorities and courts will decide if a crime occurred, and whether Mel can be trusted with Lucia. Whose side are you on?
