Levi Johnston and Kathy Griffin back together again!

Griffin is going to film some reality TV with Levi while she is up here to perform her comedy act at the Atwood Concert Hall, on March 5 . Sources confirmed she arrived with her film crew just last night. I do not know if this is for her show ” My Life on the D-List ” or for some other reality show, but I do know that they are scouting locations in both Anchorage and Wasilla. Perhaps some of my Alaskan visitors can keep an eye out and let me know if they spot the couple in and around Anchorage or Wasilla. However if you do, please be respectful and don’t do anything to disrupt the filming. I particularly worry about Levi in Wasilla as I have heard that there are still some Palin-bots who are pissed at him. In fact I recently learned that whenever his mother Sherry goes to the store in Wasilla, which the terms of her house arrest allow to do, that various people will call and report her to her parole officer in an attempt to get her thrown back into jail. Can you believe these people? By the way, speaking of “these people”, apparently things in the Palin compound are not as super duper wonderful as Sarah has described it to the media. (Shocked? Yeah me too!) In fact apparently the brood is currently at least one Palin short. Yep, eldest daughter, and abstinence “after the fact” spokeswoman, Bristol has made a break for it and now has a place in Anchorage. At least one source reported that she purchased the place, but I am not sure if that is correct or whether she is simply renting a condo. If Bristol is going to school here in town this makes sense, though I do wonder who is watching Tripp during the day without Sarah’s entourage around to take up the slack. Levi is not living in town currently but I have little doubt he would drop everything and drive in to take care of his boy. And since we are on the subject of the Palin tribe in Anchorage, I have also heard a rumor that Track was staying in town around December/January and that he was seen by more than one person flashing large amounts of cash. Interesting no? Silly me I was not under the impression that a Private in the Army made that much scratch. It looks like Momma-bear is being quite generous with her wealth. Perhaps making sure her kids have enough money to resist any offers by the tabloids to tell a few unsavory tales?

Sex and Relationship Advice From Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is a sexual being. Perhaps more so than most, considering those pesky hermaphrodite rumors . Whether she’s a woman and/or a man, she claims she’s not getting any lately. “I’m single because I don’t have the time,” she told a group of reporters at a M.A.C Cosmetics’ Viva Glam event in London. “You know what? That’s okay.” “Even Lady Gaga can be celibate.” So well spoken in the third-person. Guess Matthew Williams is out of luck. The singer goes on to offer words of wisdom to girls regarding sexual behavior. If only Bristol Palin had listened to this: “If you can’t get to know someone, then you probably shouldn’t be having sex with them,” she said. Want a piece of this? Too bad, Lady Gaga doesn’t have time . Words to live by. Lady Gaga continued, wisely encouraging young women to carry condoms and get frequent HIV tests, reiterating “You are not invincible.” She also discussed some of the downsides of intercourse for ladies. “Orgasms are the biggest obstacles for women. Sex should be fun, beautiful and colorful, but women get the short end of the stick. We’re just receivers.” “We can’t talk about sex, we can’t sing about sex.” Well, she disproved her own point there, but we get the drift. This concludes today’s lesson in Sex and Relationships 101 with the Fabulous Lady Gaga.

Rex Butler says Levi ready to pay child support, will write check within the week.

“The judge decided that Bristol should have child support, which we don’t disagree with,” Butler told the ABC News Law and Justice Unit. “Fortunately, Levi has put this money aside a long time ago. The back support is going to come out to about $10,000 to $13,000, and he’s going to write Bristol a check.” Butler confirmed that Johnston’s saved funds came in part from modeling, particularly a much-publicized spread in Playgirl, but said the most important matter going forward was “whether to seek full custody, split custody or whether Levi will be satisfied with reasonable visitation.” “I think split custody is the best of these,” Butler said. As I said before, the multiple reports that Levi had to pay up $18,500 in back child support were bullshit. Those were based on Van Flein demands of $1,700 a month. It does not look like the judge believed that number was fair. Personally I think the judge kept the amount way too high as it appears she is still asking for excess of $1,ooo per month from Levi. I don’t believe he will have the funds to pay that sum for long, unless he makes a book deal. It seems insane that Palin would push him to do so. (Whoops I almost forgot who I was talking about!) Of course right now Van Flein is happy with this early victory. Thomans Van Flein, attorney for Bristol Palin, told ABC News he and Bristol were pleased with Thursday’s outcome. “Bristol is pleased with the rulings from the court today. While pleased that the judge applied settled Alaska Child Support and Discovery Law in her favor, she is most pleased to have this process moving forward. She anticipates now resolving the few issues remaining between her and Levi.” Yeah you just wait buddy, I am none to sure things are going to turn out the way you anticipate. I really like this parting shot from Rex Butler by the way. When asked about Palin’s upcoming role in the hit show, Butler told ABC News, “We are glad to see that she got some work. This will mean she has some income and will be more independent of her mother, and that’s a good thing . And this could change some things between her and Levi.” Nice.

Judge to Levi Johnston: Pay Up!

It’s a good thing Levi Johnston posed for Playgirl : as a result, he should be able to actually support his son. An Alaskan judge has sided with Bristol Palin and ordered Levi to pay $18,500 in back child support for 13-month-old son Tripp. The deadbeat father could have saved about $18,485 if he had just bought a pack of condoms back in the day. Johnston must also shell out $1,688.42 per month in child support. Their sham of an engagement over, Bristol and Levi have gone from making public appearances to support Sarah Palin’s political future to fighting it out in a courtroom. “Bristol is pleased with the court rulings today and looks forward to resolving the remaining issues with Levi,” said lawyer Thomas Van Flein, one of the few family employees that has not resigned due to Sarah Palin’s selfish lunacy . Bristol was present in the courtroom for the ruling. Johnston was not. “I have received limited and sporadic financial assistance from Levi,” she said in a statement, citing Johnston’s $105,000 in 2009 earnings, versus his meager payments to her of $4,400. Where will the pair go from here? Johnston might actually guest star on Desperate Housewives , while Bristol is booked for a hypocritical appearance on The Secret Life of an American Teenager . It’s an ironic title for a show on which she’ll cameo. After all, Sarah Palin has gone out of her way to make sure Bristol’s life is anything but secret.

Sarah Palin Spokeswoman Quits; World Rejoices

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s senior adviser and spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, resigned today . Who will craft Sarah’s brilliant press releases now?! Stapleton, a Palin confidante since 2006, said she is stepping down from her $96,000/year gig to spend more time with her 2-year-old daughter, Isabella. Since the end of the 2008 presidential campaign, Stapleton has been one of only a few aides maintained and trusted by Palin – to everyone’s detriment. In recent years, Stapleton was a key strategic adviser and the pipeline for anyone seeking Palin’s attention, including Republican officials and reporters. A total loose cannon at best, and shameless attack dog at worst, Stapleton helped transform Palin into a major political player. A very polarizing one. Sarah Palin will be better off without her chief crony . Meg Stapleton has also blessed those of us in the celebrity gossip world with near constant absurd fodder. Some of her most prominent career highlights: Claiming any criticism of Sarah Palin is sexist Bashing the living hell out of David Letterman Trading weekly public barbs with Levi Johnston Reaching out to embattled nut job Carrie Prejean Trying to cash in on Bristol Palin and her baby Sending John McCain’s entire staff to the cardiologist One senior McCain advisor quoted by the Huffington Post called her both “incompetent and a bad person,” and one who “sacrificed integrity for ambition.” A woman whose media instincts were amateurish even on her best day, Stapleton will be missed by those of us who revere her ability to generate gossip. Someone with serious political ambitions should never, ever hire her though.

Sarah Palin Spokeswoman Quits; World Rejoices

Jeanne Devon (AKMuckraker) has a wonderful article up on Huffington Post about Bristol Palin’s upcoming television debut.

So, Bristol Palin, one of those Palin children we were all admonished never to talk about because the former VP candidate’s family life was nobody’s damn business, is now going to star in a TV show. Yes, an actual episode that the whole country can see by simply pressing a button. It’s called “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” Secret? Presumably the creators of the show feel that the more people that watch and talk about this show the better. One button, and Poof! It’s Bristol in our living room. Are we allowed to talk about it yet? “Why does anyone even care about this Why is this news?” Bristol was purported to have cried to her mother over the phone when her pregnancy was discovered during the 2008 campaign and instantly became national news. The McCain campaign, in a desperate effort to “legitimize” the unplanned pregnancy, sent an airplane to pluck the baby daddy off a mountain where he was stalking sheep, hose him off and stick him in a new suit for the “we’re getting married” tour on the campaign trail. He wasn’t thrilled, but America was, and that’s all that mattered. (To read the rest just click the title.) Those of us in Alaska have become a little immune to hypocrisy after dealing with Sarah Palin for so long. However based on how uber-defensive the Palin’s are when it comes to their kids, and how dismissive Sarah was of Levi’s potential career in the entertainment field, this has taken hypocrisy to a whole new level. And that is really saying something when it comes to Sarah Palin and her band of Wasilla-billy misfits! Update: If you like that you will probably like THIS jab at Palin hypocrisy as well. Here is a taste: Bristol Palin is our hero. She’s living proof that unplanned teenage pregnancy can be crazy lucrative. Forget school or on-the-job training. Bristol Palin knows only too well that the best way to get ahead in life is to drop your knickers and have as much unprotected sex as possible. Ouch! Well I hope that Bristol develops a thicker skin than her mother because if she is going to put herself out there like this she needs to expect this kind of reaction. I remember how quickly she folded under the criticism over her Candies ambassador gig, so I don’t have a lot of confidence in the longevity of her new acting career.

Bristol Palin: The Height of Hypocrisy

Earlier, we reported about teen mom Bristol Palin’s upcoming cameo on ABC Famliy’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Give it up for family values! Isn’t this hypocritical and counterproductive? Isn’t having Bristol Palin on the show basically glorifying teen pregnancy? The network said in a press release: ” Bristol Palin is the most famous teenage mother in America. We’re thrilled to have her join us, and I think she will bring additional attention to the issues facing teen parents that we’ve been exploring for a couple of seasons now.” “I am thrilled to be on this show and to be a part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy,” said Palin. What a crock . Bristol Palin has chosen life. And apparently fame. By putting a teen mom in any popular entertainment medium, ABC Family is (indirectly if not overtly) celebrating the fact that she’s a teen who got pregnant. Bristol Palin is known for exactly two things : Being the daughter of Sarah Palin Getting knocked up by Levi Johnston Now her famous mom wants to utilize that fact to make Bristol a celebrity while espousing family values at the same time. It’s as disgusting as it is laughable. Not to mention the ridiculousness of Sarah’s claims last week about her family being off limits. Guess that only applies if Family Guy takes shots at them , eh? This isn’t Bristol’s first dubious attempt to have it both ways. Last year, she was named Candie’s ” Teen Pregnancy Ambassador .” What does that even mean? Especially from a clothing line whose ads feature Britney Spears in booty shorts? 2008: The seeds of celebrity (and Tripp Johnston) are sown. Apparently it matters not, because it’s all about making money off THE MOST FAMOUS TEEN MOM EVER! Really, ABC Family? This is your marketing hook? Altruism, this is not. If education and prevention are really your goals, start doing public service announcements or donating time and money to charity. If the Palins wants to shamelessly promote the Palins and teen pregnancy, great. But let’s call it what it is – self-serving PR under the guise of “education.” We want to hear what you think: What is Bristol Palin’s appearance on The Secret Life of the American Teenager going to accomplish?

Secret’s Out: Bristol Palin to Play Herself on American Teenager

Bristol Palin to Guest Star on The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Levi Johnston is trying to make headway in the fields of TV and posing nude. It’s nice to see that his baby mama, Bristol Palin, has decided to follow suit. Well, at least the TV part. The daughter of Sarah Palin is coming to ABC Family as the real-life teen mom will make a cameo as herself on The Secret Life of the American Teenager . Bristol Palin will appear as one of Amy’s friends at a music program for young parents. Sarah will certainly be so proud at her girl getting more publicity. Bristol Palin during her brief, fake engagement to Levi Johnston . The casting announcement comes juts a week after Sarah and Bristol both made headlines by lashing out at Family Guy and its creator Seth MacFarlane. Its depiction of a student with Down Syndrome riled up the Palins, even if the voice actress, who has Down Syndrome herself, says they should lighten up . Is Sarah Palin being hypocritical by placing her daughter on a TV show, given that like MacFarlane, The Secret Life is just using the Palin name for ratings? Just asking .

Bristol Palin to Guest Star on The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Bristol Palin to make acting debut.

Bristol Palin, arguably the most famous teen mother in America, will make her acting debut playing herself on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” the network announced today. “I am thrilled to be on this show and to be part of a program that educates teens and young adults about the consequences of teen pregnancy,” Palin said in a statement. First I would like to say I am very happy that Bristol gets the opportunity to follow Levi’s dream of being an actor. (Did anybody else ever hear that Bristol wanted to act before?) However I am a little puzzled by the show that she chose to make her debut. According to a statement from ABC Family, the show “deals honestly and directly with the consequences of an unplanned pregnancy in a non-exploitative manner and explores how the core character’s relationships with her mother, father, sister and friends are affected. . . . We hope the show encourages teenagers and parents to open up a dialogue about issues important to them. . . .” I mean Bristol’s tale of being a teen mother is hardly typical, now is it? First her pregnancy gets announced to the national media during a presidential campaign. She then spends several months cohabitating with her boyfriend in Wasilla while her mother is giving speeches across the country. Then she supposedly gives birth to her baby in December but hides from view until February 16, when she suddenly reappears on the Greta Van Susteren show where she, quite truthfully, admits that “abstinence isn’t realistic”. During the time between giving birth and making her television appearance Bristol kicks her “fiancee” to the curb. Next she appears as an ambassador for Candies , but for some reason seems to do very little to earn the title. (Sound familiar?) And then, just like her mother, she quits and we hear very little from her until recently. Today Bristol lives in a compound on a dead lake, and allows her mother to sic her attack lawyer on the boy who made her the most famous teen mother in the world in order to wrest custody of their child away from him. Somehow I don’t see a lot of teens relating to Bristol’s bizarre life. And I do not want to be cruel but Bristol always appeared to be VERY uncomfortable in front of the camera so I kind of wonder how she will do when she is expected to remember lines of dialogue and emote on command. Still it will be interesting to see if yet another rumor gets confirmed when we see her appear before the camera again. Hmm I wonder if this will be filmed in the Wasilla studio, or if Bristol has to leave her babies (However many there are!) in order to fly out of state? I know a VERY nice family that would be glad to watch at least one of them for her. Update: It looks like Bristol is not the only one getting ready for her close up . This will be Sarah’s first time on the show in anything other than a brief skit. I wonder if Leno has the guts to turn to her and ask “So, what about all of those babies?”
