Johnny Bananas to Bristol Palin: STFU, Will Ya?!?

Johnny Bananas has taken major issue with something Bristol Palin recently said about Teen Mom OG. There’s a sentence we never expected to write. But the MTV veteran, who has appeared on The Real World and various versions of The Challenge, laid into the new cable network star late last month. While appearing on the Hollywood Pipeline podcast, Johnny was asked about Palin, specifically her claim that Teen Mom producers were responsible for “inaccuracies and false narratives” during her time on the show. For those who missed out on some pretty incredible episodes this past season, Bristol’s entire storyline was basically that her marriage was in ruins and she has great disdain for ex-husband Dakota Meyer. Despite the guy having lost most of his platoon in Afghanistan and openly suffering from PTSD. Because she reacted so harshly to such a serious condition faced by Meyer, Palin garnered a great deal of backlash during her run on the program. And she finally grew sick enough of it to go on an Instagram rant. “If I cared what people thought of me, I wouldn’t be here today – let’s be real. I’ve stood strong and held it down for my kids since day one,” Palin wrote on December 10. She said then complained about MTV trying to make her into Farrah Abraham by building so much contrived drama around her relationship. “No matter how bad @teenmom tries to portray my “life” ….. my babies, my family, my close friends – they know the TRUTH. I’m a pretty great mom, work my ass off, show up, and hustle everyday to give my kids a pretty great life,” she wrote.” Palin then (hilariously) concluded by wondering why Teen Mom focused on controversy over… religion? Scroll down to see what she wrote on this topic: @mtv doesn’t want to talk about faith, show work ethic, or juggling three kids alone, they don’t want to show the humble process of starting over after a divorce, building a career, or any real life issues. All they want with my little segment each week is some fake fill-in Farrah Abraham/Jerry Springer BS, and it’s simply not true. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve said some mean things and learned a lot the last several months – but the life I’ve built for my kids is NOT sitting around talking about baby daddy drama. Every week is a continued disappointment with their inaccuracies and false narratives. I hate getting all emo on you guys but I’ve kept quiet for too long about it. Don’t believe everything you see on TV. Bananas, meanwhile, thinks this entire line of reasoning is, well, bananas. “Shut up. Like honestly Bristol, would you just stop whining?” he said on the aforementioned post cast, continuing as follows; “You’re on an MTV show about kids that made bad decisions early on in life and are in dysfunctional relationships. There’s no way to edit that in a positive way, there just isn’t.” That sums it up well, doesn’t it? “Have you ever watched ‘Teen Mom’ before?” Johnny asked of Bristol. “There’s not a whole lot of feel good stories coming out of there. If you wanted a feel good story, you should have went on Oxygen or OWN. Bristol, of course, did previously have her own series titled Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp. But no one tuned in because it was boring and lame. So Palin accepted $250,000 to appear on this season of Teen Mom OG and is now complaining about it. And Bananas isn’t having it. “Her life’s been a reality television show,” he said. “We got enough of this, hearing your mom whining about the press and the publicity that she got and how it wasn’t accurate. Forge a different path … you knew what you were doing.” In conclusion, per Bananas: “You can’t get yourself involved in a show like this, put yourself out there and then get upset when you’re not being edited or portrayed the way you want to be. “That’s what reality television is. Reality television is the biggest misnomer ever because there’s nothing real about it. “They are going to take the topics, the situations that create the most drama, the most friction, that are going to draw the most eye balls there, and they are going to air that.” View Slideshow: Bristol Palin: I’ve Totally Failed as a Mother

Bristol Palin Gets Roasted on Instagram, Attempts to Fight Back

So far the casting of Bristol Palin on Teen Mom OG isn’t working out for anyone involved. Bristol gets paid more than any of the other cast members, and her fame was supposed to help to increase the show’s ratings. That didn’t happen. In fact, as Starcasm reports, ratings for the long-running series have been steadily declining since it returned to the airwaves in March of 2015. (The show was on hiatus from 2012 to 2015 due to Amber Portwood’s imprisonment , and it never quite recovered.) At its peak, TMOG pulled in over 3.5 million viewers an episode. These days, it draws an audience of less than a million. Part of the problem is that the show’s resident villain, Farrah Abraham, was fired before the start of this season, creating a serious drama vacuum. Producers attempted to fill the void by adding new cast members Bristol and Cheyenne Floyd, but thus far, viewers aren’t taking the bait. The reaction to Bristol, in particular, has ranged from apathetic to vitriolic, as fans attempt to puzzle out why a member of one of America’s most reviled political families has been shoehorned into an otherwise apolitical reality show. By any measure, the Bristol experiment has failed, and it seems that Palin is taking all the criticism from fans to heart: And Bristol used a painfully lame defense when responding to a fan who maligned her during the airing of Monday night’s new episode. “[MTV] you really need to take [Bristol] off Teen Mom OG,” the angry viewer wrote on Instagram. “This chick is soooo damn ditzy and dum. Why is she so worried about her sons money if it’s for his trust fund for college?!?! “He’s not going anytime soon!!!!” “dumb.. if you’re going to criticize me, at least be grammatically correct,” Bristol replied. Okay — she’s certainly correct in her assertion that there are some grammatical and spelling errors in that post, but it’s not like the fan didn’t get her message across. And resorting to criticizing your opponent’s grammar is generally a good sign that you’re lacking a decent counterargument. Oh, and it took us about 4 seconds of scrolling through Bristol’s socials to find some egregious assaults on grammar and syntax, so she probably shouldn’t continue to go there with fans. As for what the future holds for Bristol — that’s anyone’s guess. The exact terms of her contract are a mystery, but it’s hard to believe she’ll be back for another season at her current salary.

Bristol Palin Sends Prayers to Alaska in Wake of Devastating Earthquake

Bristol Palin has taken a break from slamming her ex-husband in order to send a message of support to everyone in Alaska. On Friday morning, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake his Palin’s native state of Alaska, damaging highways, shaking buildings and focusing its power about eight miles north of Anchorage, the most populous city in the region. Governor Bill Walker issued a disaster declaration in response, while the Anchorage Police Department said the following in an official statement: “There is major infrastructure damage across Anchorage. Many homes and buildings are damaged. Many roads and bridges are closed.” As of this writing, no deaths have been reported. Thank goodness. Bristol, of course, hails from Wasilla, Alaska. However, she lives in Austin, Texas and was not around her friends, family members or loved ones up north when this natural diaster struck. But Palin says she was with them in spirit. And they are very much on her mind at the moment. “Just sick I’m not in Alaska to help my family and friends with the aftermath of the massive earthquake they had this morning, sending all the prayers to everyone affected,” she wrote on social media shortly after news of the incident went public. The Palin family resident is about 44 miles northeast of Anchorage and the compound was damaged during the earthquake. Such damage was confirmed by Bristol’s famous mother, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. “Our family is intact – house is not… I imagine that’s the case for many, many others,” the former Alaska Governor wrote via Twitter, adding: “So thankful to be safe; praying for our state following the earthquake.” Elsewhere, Bristol’s younger sister, Willow, was left in shock and in pretty bad shape after the sort of frightening experience you must deal with first hand to fully comprehend. “Our house is a mess but our family is safe, very shook up! That was the scariest couple minutes of my life,” she wrote to followers. Bristol was out of the spotlight for many years, but has now joined the cast of Teen Mom OG on MTV. Not only had she joined it, but Palin has been at the forefront of nearly every episode, as viewers have watched her marriage to Dakota Meyer fall apart before their very eyes. It’s been pretty ugly, to be honest. “When you get rid of the cancer in your life, you can go live,” Meyer actually said recently about splitting from Bristol. Ouch, right? But now isn’t the time to relitigate the issues that faced this couple. Now is the time to join in with the thoughts and prayers being sent to the residents of Alaska. We’re thinking of you guys.

Tyler Baltierra: It’s Weird AF to Star Alongside Bristol Palin!

Tyler Baltierra two huge reasons to be very happy and extremely excited these days. FIRST, the long-time reality star has lost 43 pounds of late and he looks amazing . SECOND, he’s having another baby!!!!!!! Tyler and wife Catelynn announced this month that their third child is due in March, an especially blessed development considering they lost one to a miscarriage back in January 2018. But Baltierra said this week on the podcast “Reality Life with Kate Casey” that he unfortunately has one reason NOT to be so happy and excited at the moment. And that reason has everything to do with one of his new Teen Mom OG co-stars. For the first time since the news of her casting broke, Tyler has spoken out on the addition of Bristol Palin to the franchise. “Do I think it’s weird as hell? Absolutely. Do I think it’s a really, like, not a good decision for the franchise? Yeah. But that’s out of my control,”. he said on the recording We definitely understand the first part of that statement. Bristol Palin was the daughter of the nominee for Vice President of the United States in 2008. She was on stage at the Republican National Committee. She made MAJOR national/political headlines for months because she was a pregnant teenager at the time of this election… … and now she’s gonna be on Teen Mom OG Season 8! That is absolutely weird as hell . But is it bad for the franchise? Time, and ratings really, will tell. The stunning casting decision has certainly resulted in an abundance of coverage for the series, as Bristol and Cheyenne Floyd will both come on board the program this fall. They are jointly taking over for Farrah Abraham, whose affiliation with amateur pornography led to her departure from MTV in February. To be clear, meanwhile, Tyler says he has no beef with Bristol on a personal level. Heck, he had never met her before filming began and scarcely knew anything about her. “I don’t know anything about anybody,” he said on the podcast. “It’s weird. When it comes to that kind of stuff, I’m a f-cking recluse.” He was also just 16 years old back when Palin was in the national spotlight. Pver the past two months, though, he’s heard about some of Palin’s controversies, such as her stance against gay marriage and her hot Republican takes in general. “I got headlines sent to me, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s racist, she’s homophobic,’” he says. “I’m like, ‘What? I don’t know!’” He’ll soon find out, however! So will MTV viewers across the globe. The new season of Teen Mom OG kicks off this Monday, October 1. Still, Baltierra says he’s reserving judgment until he gets to know the Alaska native better: “I’m like, I can’t read the tabloids. I gotta just get to know the person on my own. I don’t want to get any preconceived judgments or notions about these people.” Moreover, he doesn’t blame Bristol for coming on board. This is how Tyler concludes his opinion on the unexpected situation: Do I have any hard feelings against the girls, the people participating in it now? Absolutely not. Because I think with the franchise – like, what it turned into –  if the opportunity knocks on anyone’s door, I think everyone would be lying if they said they wouldn’t take the opportunity. Honestly, things evolve, they gotta grow and they gotta adapt to change as we get on with this whole thing that we’ve been doing for 10 years now.

Bristol Palin: Read Her Heartbreaking Texts to Ex Dakota Meyer

They called off their wedding in 2015, roughly six months before their daughter, Sailor was born in December. Now, Dakota Meyer is fighting for a custody agreement with Bristol Palin that will allow him to see his daughter more frequently. Daily Mail obtained text messages (published for court records) between Palin and Meyer , who served in the Marines, in which the Alaska native wanted her ex to see Sailor more regularly. “I want you to be a part of her life, from the bottom of my heart I do,” Palin wrote. “There’s nothing on my end holding you back Dakota.  I want you (and your family) to be in her life as much as possible. It’s not about us, and I don’t care if you hate me, put it aside and put her first.” “I don’t hate you Bristol,” Meyer responded.  “I have no reason too [sic] but my hands are tied when I legally have no right to a child that is mine.” Meyer, who had to undergo a paternity test when he filed for joint custody and child support, is trying to move things along so that he can see his daughter. His visitations, however, are limited since Palin is breastfeeding the infant, and the court rules in the mother’s favor since it’s in Sailor’s best interest. “Yea i don’t want to miss anything either and being busy will never be what keeps me from seeing Sailor,” Meyer wrote to her in another exchange.   “Hopefully everything gets worked out soon and I can be in her life.” Meyer will see his daughter for the first time on March 19th, according to court records.

Track Palin Arrested for Assault, Being Drunk with a Gun

Sarah Palin spent Tuesday afternoon publicly showing her support for Donald Trump . But she may want to get back to Wasilla, Alaska as quickly as possible. Someone close to her at home could use some support right about now. According to police reports, Track Palin was arrested on Monday night and charged with fourth-degree assault… interfering with the report of a domestic violence crime … and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. The New York Daily News reports that the 26-year old son of the former Vice Presidential candidate was at the center of a domestic disturbance call around 10 p.m. Track Palin allegedly punched and kicked his girlfriend and then proceeded to hold an assault rifle near his head, threatening to kill himself. “Do you think I’m a p—y?” Track reportedly said, also asking: “Do you think I won’t do it?” Palin was booked without bail and his arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday, January 19. All these charges are (somehow) only Class A misdemeanors. Track is the oldest of Sarah Palin’s five children. The unidentified woman had “bruising and swelling around her left eye,” according to police, and “complained of pain to that area as well as to her right knee.” Authorities later found an unloaded AR-15 assault rifle on the kitchen counter. Track is a U.S. Army veteran who spent a year deployed in Iraq. He is divorced with a daughter named Kyla and he reportedly broke his ribs during a drunken brawl at an Anchorage party in September 2014. View Slideshow: 18 STUNNING Celebrity Confessions

Sarah Palin Mocks Tina Fey in "31 Rock" Promo

Sarah Palin is attempting to have the last laugh in her ongoing feud with Tina Fey. Over the weekend, Fey reprised her impression of the former Vice Presidential candidate while hosting Saturday Night Live. And now Palin has attempted to fire back by doing her own impression of the actress and starring as a Liz Lemon-type character in a fake show titled “31 Rock.” The 60-second parody finds Palin starring as Lynn Melon, “a small-town TV writer who moves to NYC in hopes of creating a hit variety show.”  We see her trying to get through to a writer's room full of “nerds,” while elsewhere complaining about the lack of a snowflake on her Starbucks cup and pretty much just acting like Liz Lemon on the actual 30 Rock. So it's not entirely clear just what Palin is mocking because, first, Liz Lemon is just a character, she's not actually Tina Fey. Second, Palin is mostly just acting like Lemon here. Where's the parody? And just what is Palin parodying, Fey's key role on a long-running, critically-acclaimed sitcom? In addition to Palin, the trailer features appearances by 30 Rock veteran Kevin Brown (reprising his role as Dot Com), as well as Palin’s former running mate John McCain. Yes, John McCain is associating himself with Sarah Palin again for some reason. We give up. Just watch the supposed mockery now:

Bristol Palin Baby Name: Revealed!

Bristol Palin is yet to reveal the name of her baby daddy. But she has now come out and revealed the name of her baby. And it’s the same exact name as just chosen by another celebrity. “When you find out Kristin Cavallari named her baby the exact name you are naming yours what a weird coincidence,” Palin wrote on Instagram Monday night. “Congrats on your new bundle, and I do love her name…Still naming my baby girl Sailor!” Indeed, Cavallari and husband Jay Cutler welcomed their third child into the world this week. Sailor, meanwhile, follows a theme in the Palin household, one in which most kids are named after nounds. Bristol itself is a city in Alaska; while Bristol Palin’s siblings are named Trig, Willow, Track and Piper. And Bristol, of course, is the mother of Tripp. The former Dancing with the Stars contestant announced in June that she was once again pregnant out of wedlock, sounding ashamed and embarrassed over the development at the time. But since she’s gone on to say the baby was planned, despite Bristol’s status as a single woman and the fact that she called off her wedding mere weeks prior to expecting once again. Either way… Bristol is due in December and Sarah Palin is very excited to meet Sailor. Look for the baby to pull into her mother’s port in just a few weeks. View Slideshow: 21 Famously Unwed Mothers
