• Levi Calls BS on Bristol’s Abstinence-Only Message

  I don’t whether to be disturbed or relieved that Levi Johnston has emerged as the voice of the reason in the ongoing Palin family drama. After Bristol Palin assumed a (paid) role as the new face of abstinence-only sex education, Johnston decided to speak out about his, ah, more nuanced view of teen sexuality. In this clip of his appearance on the Early Show yesterday... Read More...

• Did Sarah Palin Know That Bristol Was Sleeping With Levi?

  In an interview with Tyra Banks that will air on Monday, Levi Johnston says that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin "probably knew" that he was having sex with her daughter Bristol. Levi also tells Tyra that Mama Palin allowed the young lovers to sleep in the same bed at her home. Well. As the Church Lady might say, isn't that special. Read More...

• GMA Tweets Details On Levi Johnston And Son

  I was watching this video interview with Levi Johnston, aka the no-longer-future Mr. Bristol Palin. The breakup was mutual, Levi says. He needs to be more "mature" before marriage. (That sounds like it wasn't so mutual, but who knows.) Then I saw this: Check Neal Karlinsky's Twitter page. He'll be tweeting some behind-the-scenes details about the interview. Um, OK. Sure. Why not. I'm curious about Twitter, which is the big thing online these days. All the kids and TV reporters are doing it. What does Neal have to say...uh, tweet? Read More...

• Levi Johnston Admits He’s Too Immature for Family Life

  Earlier today, Good Morning America caught up with the former GOP teen idol Levi Johnston—and by “caught up,” I mean accosted him in his car outside his house while he was on his way to the gym. In the clip below, the 19-year-old confirms that he and Bristol Palin split up, but says that he can see their son Tripp whenever he wants. “I’d give everything for him,” he says. “Fatherhood changes things.” Read More...

• Bristol Gives Levi the Boot

  The most watched teen romance of 2008 had few convinced that it would last forever. Still, when Levi Johnston showed up at the Republican National Convention but hours after news broke that he and the VP nominee's daughter were expecting, there was a feeling, at least, that Mama Palin would control their message then and until the end of time. But someone else has taken over the message now, namely Levi Johnston's sister, Mercede. She tells Star Magazine that 18-year-old Bristol broke off the young couple's engagement a while ago. And also that she's now allowing Levi to see their infant son, Tripp.   Read More...

• Why Sarah Palin Hid Her Pregnancy

  An unauthorized biography of Alaska Gov. and once-U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin finally explains why Sarah Palin kept her pregnancy with son Trig a secret for so long -- even from her other four children.   Read More...

• Stop Sending Palin Baby Presents

  So the economy's in the crapper, and parents are cutting back on everything from Santa to travel. So why are gifts pouring into the Palin household? The former (so happy to say that) vice presidential candidate's father, Chuck Heath, told Grandparents.com that gifts for granddaughter Bristol Palin's soon-to-be born baby boy have been piling up from around the world. Really, this is what people are spending their money on? Read More...

• Hey Sarah Palin, Make Your Kids Go to School

  I've got one question for Sarah Palin: Do your kids ever go to school? That Bristol Palin has essentially been glued to her mother's side since the news broke that she's got Levi Johnston's bun in the oven has made me wonder if the Republicans have dropped all pretense of subtlety and are outright telling us they really don't think a girl needs an education once she's fulfilled her duty of making babies. Then Johnston announces he's opted out of school too and gotten a job in the Alaskan oil fields. Read More...

• Levi Johnston – Bristol Palin’s Fiancé Speaks Out

  In an interview with the Associated Press, the 18-year-old “Wasilla heartthrob” Levi Johnson, who’s engaged to Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, chatted about his relationship, his life and his upcoming child (hinting that it will be a boy). He says that his upcoming nuptials won’t be a “shotgun wedding” and that they always intended in marrying. Levi admits he was “a little shocked” when he found out that Bristol was knocked up, but he “quickly embraced the prospects of fatherhood”. To prep for his new life and responsibilities, he dropped out of high school and is now working at the North Slope oil fields. After suddenly being thrust into the national spotlight, the “soft spoken” teen talked to a reporter to set the record straight on a myriad of topics. Here is Levi Johnston on…   Read More...

• What Bristol Palin Can Expect, After Baby Algebra

  Even a knee-jerk liberal mom like me can feel bad for Bristol Palin. Not because she’s facing the end of childhood before she’s even allowed to vote (or drink for that matter – how will she get through parenthood?). And not because her mom has thrown her to the wolves media by signing on to a national campaign for vice president during her teenage pregnancy. That's just the icing. Read More...

• Did Bristol and Levi Tie the Knot?

  And, more importantly, do their parents know? (Hey, it's a fair question ... this family loves its secrets!) A blogger has uncovered a Facebook page that lists the VP candidate's daughter as Bristol Palin-Johnston, which would imply that she and her boyfriend Levi Johnston have made the Palin family whole again. Only, I'm a little suspicious.   Read More...

• Are Shotgun Weddings the Best Answer to Teen Pregnancy?

  Teen pregnancy is certainly foremost on the nation’s brain these days. With one in three girls in the U.S. pregnant before the age of 20, this is not a bad thing. But many commentators are concerned that the national dialogue about teen pregnancy that has resulted from the Palin affair has made teen moms seem like heroes. I’m concerned, more specifically, that few have questioned whether shotgun weddings between teen parents-to-be are the best way out of a very difficult situation. Read More...

• Is Teen Marriage Really So Bad?

  I'm of the demographic that tends to tsk tsk upon the news of a 22-year-old cousin/friend/acquaintance/daughter of a co-worker getting married. "She's ruining her life," the cohorts and I whisper. "It'll never last!" For teens who get married, we sigh that certain-doom sigh. But, seriously, why all the negativity about young marriage? What the hell do I know about it and, in the end, does a little divorce under your belt even matter?   Read More...

  “I’m a f***in’ redneck,” so proclaims Sarah Palin’s Baby Daddy in law, Levi Johnston.
