Sarah Palin Takes Swipe at Michelle Obama Again

Sarah Palin really does not appreciate Michelle Obama’s campaign to keep America’s youth from becoming morbidly obese down the line. Stupid government! Having already lambasted Michelle over her childhood nutrition initiative, the mighty caribou slayer brought it up again Sunday on TLC’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska . “Where are the s’mores? This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert,” a HILARIOUS, sarcastic Sarah Palin quips. Her love for put-downs and pickin’ fights instead of debating policy intricacies may explain why even ardent conservatives don’t want her as president . Just a theory. Follow the jump for the clip, during which you can also hear Palin complain about her kids’ foibles playing out in the media … man, that sucks for them! Also, enjoy a bonus clip of her with Kate Gosselin for good, hilarious measure. ‘Cause sometimes, one overexposed TLC family just isn’t enough

Bristol Palin’s DWTS Secret Weapon: Prayer

Bristol Palin finished third on the Dancing with the Stars finale . Considering the scrutiny and controversy she fought through – not to mention her lack of experience dancing – it’s pretty darn impressive for the 20-year-old. Her secret to overcoming all that adversity? Prayer. Palin, who fell just short behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey on last night’s finale, drew ire from some fans for advancing despite relatively low scores. “It is faith that got me through this, just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we’ll get through this,” she said. “Just persevere, have confidence, and be willing to go try new things,” she said, asked what she’ll take away from this. “I’ve grown so much as a person.” She’s come along way since dating Levi Johnston.

Oscilloscope Picks Up Tribeca Award Winner Monogamy

Jimmy Kimmel Endorses Levi Johnston For Mayor

“Levi Johnston is to Sarah Palin what voicemail is to Mel Gibson .” – Jimmy Kimmel Having recently announced his bid for mayor of Wasilla , Alaska, his hometown of 11,000 people, 20-year-old Levi Johnston is making the media rounds. On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the newly-minted political candidate was showered with praise – not to mention a collection of great campaign gear. Kimmel showcased a blue baseball cap with “The Thrilla from Wasilla” on the front, a red, white and blue pin with “Wassup Wasilla?” emblazoned on it. A bumper sticker read “Elect me Mayor or I’ll Date all Your Daughters” and a yard sign proclaimed: Levi for Mayor – I’ll Do the Job Naked.” Hilarious. Kimmel did offer some cautionary words to the boy who would be mayor . “Listen, when you’re mayor, there are gonna be debates,” Jimmy said. “There are gonna potentially be shootings when Sarah finds out … it’s gonna be really bad!” But Kimmel said he’d love a spot on the campaign team of Johnston, saying “The one thing I want to congratulate you on is … the torment that you’ve caused.” It is quite an accomplishment. “So whaddya think? Can I be part of the team?” Kimmel asked. “I think I might make you campaign manager,” Johnston replied. As for potential votes from the family of two-time ex-fiancee Bristol Palin , he’s not counting on them. In fact, he says he’d be shown the door in two seconds. After his latest breakup with Bristol, he says, “I think they kinda kicked me out now … permanently.” Hey, at least some Alaskans aren’t fans of hers, either.

Jessica Simpson: Thinner, More Health-Conscious

Whether it’s food or Eric Johnson , Jessica Simpson is very thoughtful about what she puts into her body. As a result, she’s looking a lot better lately! The popular 1990s/early 2000s singer appeared thinned out on the new cover of Lucky magazine, and she is opening up about struggle to stay fit. “I think a woman always stresses out about their weight,” she says. “It’s just like a woman thing – unless you’re the women we don’t like that are supermodels that are just naturally fantastic. But me, I’m a curvy girl. I have to always be conscious of what I’m putting into my body, if I’m going to be working out.” Jessica Simpson now and early last year. Nice! Jessica also set the record straight about rumors that she’s been asked to become a judge on American Idol . Shocker alert – that was just a rumor. “I mean, I don’t think so,” she says. “I haven’t gotten a phone call.” If she were to become a judge, though, how would she react to it? “I’m not a very judgmental person, so I could probably stick my foot in my mouth a couple times,” she says, noting that she does have something to offer. “I am a singer and I do know if it’s going to actually happen for someone or not.” There you go.

Mel Gibson Rant #5: Actor Loses His Mind, Berates Oksana Grigorieva, Hints at Financial Problems

Just when you thought a day might pass without a secretly recorded Mel Gibson telephone tirade against Oksana Grigorieva leaking online … another one has. In the latest of the shocking tapes, which his lawyers are claiming have been edited and tampered with , he rails against the “B!tch c*%t wh*re gold digger!” While we’re used to Gibson using vile language and becoming completely unglued, rant #5 is most notable for his apparent admission of financial problems. Gasping for air and in between more f-bombs than we can even count, Gibson blames the mother of his eight-month-old daughter for his dire fiscal straits. “F*ckin’ user! You f*ckin’ used me! I will never forgive you!” he yells, panting as if he just ran a marathon. “You are very mean,” Grigorieva calmly replies. This further enrages the deeply disturbed actor. “Yeah, you know what mean is now, don’t you? So don’t call me mean when I’m nice to you. Because I’d like to show you what mean really is,” he screams. Then he really goes off: “B!tch c*%t wh*re gold digger!! All true! You f*%king proved it to me! If you’re ever interested in proving otherwise, let me know.” “Look at yourself. Look what you’ve f*%king done! Look at your son. He’s a f*%king mess. You f*%king excuse for a mother. You’re a f*%king bitch!” Wow. The Mel Gibson tapes make abundantly clear he needs mental help. But he apparently needs financial assistance too, if his latest tirade is any indication. Mel says he needs cash so badly, he had to part ways with some artwork and – gasp – L.A. Lakers tickets. “I don’t have any f*%king money!” he moans. It’s a stunning claim from one of Hollywood’s biggest names, although he did just divorce his wife of 30 years, Robyn. That couldn’t have been cheap. Follow the jump to listen to the fifth Mel Gibson tape … Mel Gibson Rant #5 Ever since the first rant was leaked last week, a disturbing picture of the actor has been painted. But what remains unclear is the context of these tapes. Why is he so enraged? Were they all recorded the same day, or in the same general time period? Has Oksana really edited them, as his lawyers allege? None of this changes that Mel has serious issues, but we feel there must be more to this than we know at this time – especially given their custody fight. Oksana wants Mel, who she says attacked her, stripped of custody of eight-month-old Lucia. The police are investigating him for domestic violence. Stay tuned .. . and share your comments on this shocking scandal below .
