Did Sarah Palin Know That Bristol Was Sleeping With Levi?

Brett Singer — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 22:07:00 GMT

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.

It's all well and good to scream and holler about how "the media" should "leave these kids alone," as Angie Harmon recently did on Fox News. But someone needs to tell these kids to stop doing so many interviews. I mean, Tyra? Really Levi? Why? If the reason is "because they asked," someone needs to point out to the young hockey player that "no thanks" is an acceptable reply.

Over at ParentDish, Susan Wagner writes that Bristol and Levi "clearly they haven't been getting very good guidance from the adults in their lives. It's our job as parents to help our teens mature into responsible people, and sometimes that means saying no -- to sex and to interviews." Funny how the advice from "the media" can be better than whatever these two seem to be getting from their own parents.

Woman Auctioning Off Her Virginity Calls Herself a Feminist

Hannah Tennant-Moore — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:15:00 GMT

And yet more proof that you can use feminism as an argument for anything. Today, 30 years after the women’s movement has achieved absolute victory (in much the same way we accomplished our mission in Iraq back in 2003), women are not only able to freely sell their bodies via the World Wide Web, but are able to intelligently discuss their prostitution goals with supermodels like Tyra Banks, who clearly insinuate that virgins shouldn’t dress so “sexy.”

Just like Palin, 22-year-old Natalie Dylan (pictured) is living proof that anyone with a uterus can brand herself a feminist, even as her actions risk setting the women’s movement back about 50 years. Speaking on the Tyra Banks Show, Dylan explained that her interest in making some big bucks at Nevada’s Moonlight Bunny Brothel by auctioning off her virginity (the highest bid so far is $3.8 million) is mainly academic, stemming from her commitment to feminist studies. Dylan is writing her college thesis on “the dichotomous relationship between virginity and prostitution.” That is indeed quite a dichotomy—just the kind of dichotomy that the friendly fellas over at the Moonlight Bunny Brothel will be very interested in, I’m sure.

Check out a clip of Dylan speaking to Tyra on Jezebel.

Tyra Banks Talks to Wanna-be Teen Moms

Hannah Tennant-Moore — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:30:00 GMT

Guests on last night’s Tyra Banks Show included a pregnant 13-year-old who used to want to be a lawyer, but who now says, without a tone of regret, that she doesn’t think she’ll make it to college. A 14-year-old who is actively trying to get pregnant said that she believes that her boyfriend would “probably marry” her if she got pregnant—unless he decides he doesn’t want to be with her anymore “for some reason.” Perhaps that reason could be going to college instead of continuing to mow lawns to support his family? This teenager also said that she wants a baby because she thinks baby showers are just so “fun and adorable!” Tyra wisely reminded her that a baby shower lasts for two hours.

I’d like to pass the topic of this show off as one of those sensational trends that gets a lot of media coverage but doesn’t necessarily reflect real life. But the fact is, one in three teenage girls will become pregnant before she turns 20—that’s the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the industrialized world. And teen pregnancy rates in the U.S. are on the rise for the first time in 15 years.

It’s clear from listening to these girls talk that they are lacking something fundamental—a sense of control over their lives or the experience of unconditional love, to put it broadly. Adolescence is such a difficult time of life and the thought that one could have a tiny, adorable being to devote one’s self to—rather than having to work to forge a life for one’s self—could be appealing to some youth. But, naturally, this fantasy is nothing like the reality of being a teen mom.

Young men and women need not only comprehensive sex education, but parenting and marriage education that explains that these are not states into which one enters lightly. And almost all of the media hubbub over teen pregnancy has focused on girls. What about the boys who are getting these girls pregnant? They need to understand the consequences of their actions just as much as girls do, including the risk that having sex at such a young age will make their partners long for, and perhaps seek, more commitment than they can handle.

Thanks to Jezebel, you can watch a clip of the last night’s show here.

Tyra Learns to Breast Feed

Hannah Tennant-Moore — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:30:00 GMT

In honor of Independence Day, I thought I'd share this gem of a YouTube with you all, because what could be more American than supermodels learning to breastfeed on national TV? And only Tyra could make fake feeding a fake baby look both terrifying and erotic.

Enjoy!

Tyra Banks Gets Pregnant

Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama) — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 12:29:00 GMT

Tyra Banks tried on a fat suit of a different kind for her latest gimmick. She appeared on a recent episode of her hit show wearing a pregnancy "suit" to promote a show about baby gifts. She joked with the audience that her recent weight gain was due to the fact that she was pregnant. See! Look! I'm pregnant...not! See! It's a fake pregnant belly! No really! I look pregnant, but I'm not! Get it?!

That Tyra. She so crazy. Fat suits, appearing in a bathing suit telling people to "kiss her fat ass." What will she do next? I'm holding my breath.
