Already a father of two, Levi Johnston will soon commit to just one. Woman, that is. The man best known for knocking up Bristol Palin will reportedly marry Sunny Oglesby this weekend. In early September, Johnston and Oglesby welcomed a daughter named Breeze Beretta into the world. Yes, she’s named after the Italian firearms manufacturer. Now, sources tell Us Weekly , they will take the step Levi was originally ordered by Sarah Palin planning to take with Bristol. They will walk down the aisle in Wasilla on Saturday or Sunday. It’s unclear if Johnston’s four-year old son, Tripp, will be in attendance, although it’s not unclear whether anyone else in the Palin clan will attend; they will not. Levi has clashed with the family over the years since splitting with Bristol, accusing the Palins of denying him time with his child. But, hey, Bristol congratulated Levi on the birth of Breeze. So maybe there’s hope for these crazy kids yet.
Sorry Casper, we regret to inform you that you are going to need significantly more corroborators. J.Lo’s Boyfriend Casper Smart Denies Being Gay Photos of Casper Smart visiting an adult XXX peepshow the day before Jennifer Lopez’s 43rd birthday may have come as a shocking, unexpected gift to the singer, but a regular at the 24-hour joint exclusively told Star magazine that he’s seen Casper there in the past and it’s a popular spot for gay men. While many speculated Casper, 25, was just there to buy a sexy birthday gift for J.Lo, the backup dancer wasn’t photographed leaving the establishment with any presents or packages, and was never seen entering the adjoining sex shop — only the peepshow. “This is a gay cruising spot,” a man familiar with the spot told an undercover Star reporter who visited the New York City peepshow. “You go into the booths, then you get all kind of tapping on the wall and propositions. It’s like zombies.” Another peepshow regular told Star when shown a photo of Casper, “Yeah, I’ve seen him. He was in here about three weeks ago.” This isn’t the first time gay allegations have been thrown Casper’s way: As RadarOnline.com first reported, fellow backup dancer and Casper’s Step Up 3D co-star Joshua Lee Ayers posted old photos of Casper on his Twitter account in which he was striking provocative poses with other shirtless men and Joshua urged viewers to check out his “low key homo ways.” On the flip side… However, J.Lo and Casper’s rep, Mark Young, adamantly denies the allegations and told RadarOnline.com, “Casper is not gay. These comments are born from envy and jealousy.” Sounds good, but there is one person in J.Lo’s life who isn’t quite as convinced as Mr. Young. But according to Star, Jennifer’s estranged hubby Marc Anthony wasn’t happy when he saw the photos of Casper at the gay XXX peepshow either. “Marc has never liked Casper and doesn’t want him around his kids,” an insider said. “When he saw the pics of Casper coming out of that porn theater, he lost it. He told Jennifer in no uncertain terms: ‘Dump Casper or I’ll take the kids.’ He doesn’t want his children exposed to someone like that anymore.” So is there anyone among you that still thinks this kid isn’t down with the limp-wrist clique??

Popular ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is leaving the network, effective today. ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys confirmed that Andrews, who has been with the worldwide leader in sports since 2004, is a goner. Her contract expires today and the network was unable to reach an agreement on an extension with her. She will reportedly anchor Fox Sports’ college football coverage this fall. Fox declined immediate comment Friday night, but the network is making a major push into college football and Erin would represent a major “get.” This will be Fox’s first regular season of college football coverage. ESPN, in a statement wishing her the best in the future, said that Andrews “did great work for us and we made an aggressive offer to keep her.” In other news, Michael David Barrett, the perv who filmed Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room three years ago, is scheduled for release Tuesday.

Former Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney, 71, has received a heart transplant from an anonymous donor. The procedure took place yesterday. Cheney, who has long battled heart problems, is recovering in the Intensive Care Unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., outside of Washington, D.C. His office said in a statement: “Although the former Vice President and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift.” Cheney, who had been on the waiting list for a new heart for 20 months, had his first heart attack when he was 37 and underwent bypass surgery in 1988.
Apparently Jessica Simpson’s naked, pregnant body on the cover of April’s Elle magazine has not been well received by those at Safeway supermarkets. The attention-grabbing photo of Jessica Simpson nude has been covered up with pieces of cardboard and/or turned around, the Arizona Daily Star reports. A spokeswoman for the grocery chain said it made the move to censor the cover following “multiple complaints” about the Fashion Star mentor’s photo. Simpson said in an interview that that Demi Moore and Britney Spears -like fully nude, pregnant cover pic was all her idea. Well, and their idea. But in this case: “They didn’t even ask me to do that,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. “It was my idea. It kind of just seemed a natural thing for me to do.” “I’m like 170 pounds and I wanted to pose nude,” she explained. “I try to be like 110. It’s funny to be at your heaviest and feel the most confident. I just take such pride in being a mom! I just love my body more than ever now.” What do you think of the cover photo above?

After speaking to her PR team and being told what to do thinking about the act of violence perpetrated against her on a Los Angeles red carpet last week, Kim Kardashian has decided to press charges against the woman who threw flour all over her . She will reportedly contact law enforcement officials over the next few days and take the appropriate steps. In response to this decision, PETA has gone on the attack against Kardashian. That lame organization denies involvement in the act, but has released a statement that reads: If she presses charges, at least people will be constantly reminded of her selfish, callous disregard for the cruel deaths that she causes by wearing fur. How much better it would be if she decided to evolve and enhance her image by donating her vulgar furs and exotic-animal skins to the homeless. The activist acted from the heart, something Kim doesn’t seem to have. If anything, Kim should get a life, the very thing that she denies animals. What do you think? Should Kardashian press charges against her attacker?
