Bristol Palin On Jay Leno, Gets Back At Levi Johnston: "He Needs To Get His GED"

Mediaite.com:

Celebrity mom Bristol Palin is beginning the media tour for her upcoming appearance on Dancing with the Stars, and last night it landed her on the couch of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. Leno went easy the younger Palin, giving her space to dance, laugh, and take a few jabs at her ex Levi Johnston.


Despite being a veteran of the show, though with mom Sarah in tow, she seemed a bit timid this time around at the beginning, explaining how she got onto Dancing with the Stars in the first place (a text message she received at the dermatologist’s office she works at) and awkwardly answering high school questions like “Did you go to prom?” (answer: “No, I was pregnant.”).


And then Leno gave her space to talk Levi, and suddenly she became both much more comfortable on the hot seat and delightfully, almost scathingly witty. Sure, the audience laughed when she said she wasn’t heartbroken, and she still seemed a bit dismayed when she described the pre-fame Levi as “a hard-working Alaskan man,” but when it came to his run for mayor of Wasilla, she had some important civic questions about his ability to run. “Well, he needs to move to Wasilla,” she answered, “and he needs a GED.”

Good for her.

Levi Johnston Takes Back His Apology To Sarah Palin

What's even more pathetic is that no matter how much of a con artist/asshole Levi Johnston continues to prove himself to be, as long as he goes back to bashing Sarah Palin the loons will welcome him with open arms:

Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, says he wishes he hadn't apologized for telling lies about the former Alaska governor because he's "never lied about anything."

Johnston said in an interview on CBS' "The Early Show" to air Friday that he wishes that he hadn't issued the apology to Palin.

"I don't really regret anything," Johnston said, who has appeared nude on the cover of Playgirl. "But the only thing I wish I wouldn't have done is put out that apology 'cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And I've never lied about anything. So that's probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with."

Levi Johnston Gets Reality Show, Running For Mayor

Variety.com:

Levi Johnston is setting his sights on the dysfunctional family business.

Johnston will run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska -- yes, the same job that propelled Sarah Palin to governor of that state (and later, the vice presidential nomination) -- in a new reality project being pitched by Stone and Co.

"Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office" will center on Johnston's newfound fame as the baby daddy to Palin's grandson, Tripp.

Johnston will trade on that notoriety to make his run for Wasilla City Hall -- when he's not pursuing a career in Hollywood, of course.

Stone and Co. are already shooting the show's pilot and have started pitching the show to networks.

Johnston admitted that he wasn't thrilled at first about the mayoral campaign concept, which was pitched to him by Stone's Scott Stone and David Weintraub.

"But the more I think about it and look into it, I think there's a possibility we can make it happen," Johnston said of his political prospects. "It's something that I want to do."

The scumbag that refuses to go away.

Levi Johnston May've Gotten Ex-Girlfriend Pregnant, Bristol Could Call Off Wedding

Now will Bristol Palin finally listen to her mother and just realize that this guy is a creep?

Bristol Palin's friends have told RadarOnline.com that she is heartbroken after finding out that her fiance Levi Johnston may have impregnated his ex-girlfriend, Lanesia Garcia. In fact, Bristol may be having second thoughts about going through with the wedding, although a Palin family representative said, "no official decision has been made."

Earlier in the week, the National Enquirer reported that Garcia was pregnant and she and Johnston were together when he was single last year. A source says that Johnston claims the baby isn't his, but that, "Levi is one of three possible fathers who were with Lanesia during the probable week of conception."

In 2008, Garcia talked to UK's News Of The World, revealing that she and Levi were in a three-year-long relationship before her then-best friend Bristol stole him away from her. Via PopCrunch:

Here's what Lanesia said at the time: "I didn't believe it, I never dreamt she was capable of doing that to me. But when I called her she just said, 'I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it. Levi and I are together now and I think he's the man for me.' I put the phone down and have not talked to her since. I was distraught for a year -- I missed Bristol desperately but also Sarah, who was like a second mom to me. Neither of them have tried to contact me, though -- which says something about how ruthless they can be. The phrase Sarah used comparing herself to a lipstick-wearing pit bull is spot on."

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston Engaged To Be Married

YahooNews.com:

Ah, young love. After weeks of rumors, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston tell Us Weekly they are getting married — with or without the approval of the bride's mother, Sarah Palin.

The pair say they reconnected about three months ago while working out a custody agreement for their 18-month-old son, Tripp. “I really thought we were over,” Johnston, 20, tells the magazine, which puts the formerly star-crossed lovers on the cover. But after a walk, Bristol says, she was stunned how different her former fiancé was. Later, Johnston texted her: “I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again.” “I was in shock,” says Bristol, 19.

According to the magazine, Johnston and Palin secretly got engaged two weeks ago. Perhaps that explains the public apology that Johnston issued last week via People magazine, for lying about the Palin family. (No word yet on what celebrity periodical will be catering the reception, but our money is on OK!)

Listen, these two could either be con artists who deserve each other or a young couple who made a few mistakes, learned from them and now are genuinely interested in attempting to pursue a life together--either way, you hope they do what's best for their child. 

UPDATE: Palin Family Responds To Engagement News

Levi Johnston Apologizes To Sarah Palin

People.com:

Levi Johnston isn't just getting past his differences with Bristol Palin – he's also hoping to make amends with her famous mom.

"Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true," he tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."

Bristol added her own statement Tuesday saying, "Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it."

I know that Levi Johnston is young and with youth usually comes a ton of immaturity and irresponsibility, but allowing the idiot Palin-haters on the Left to use him as a tool the way they did was beyond stupid. Glad he had the good sense to finally to the right thing by his child and apologize.

Levi Johnston To Write "Memoir" On Sarah Palin

PoliticalWire.com:

In a forthcoming New York magazine article on the Sarah Palin brand, Levi Johnston tells author Gabriel Sherman that "he is working on a memoir that would air the true story of the Palin household."

A brief excerpt from Mike Allen: "Sarah Palin is a singular national industry... This January, she signed a three-year contributor deal with Fox News worth $1 million a year, according to people familiar with the deal... Nowadays, for both poles of the political spectrum but especially for the right, politics is a business -- the entertainment business... It was Fox's Roger Ailes who had the insight that the American right was an underserved market, one with a powerful kind of brand loyalty."

Yeah, he's only 19 and young people are well-known for doing pretty dumb things that they later come to regret. But surely someone around him has whispered in his ear once or twice that as financially beneficial as its been, exploiting this intense dislike you have for your daughter's grandmom can't be in the best interest of your son. But then, to be fair maybe Bristol Palin needs to stay out of the spotlight too.

Levi Johnston Gets Public Release Of Child Custody Case

FOXNews.com:

Sarah Palin's oldest daughter appears to have lost her bid to keep a bitter legal dispute with her 1-year-old son's father confidential.

An Alaska judge last week denied Bristol Palin's request to keep the legal proceedings of her custody dispute with Levi Johnston closed.

Palin, 18, filed a petition in early November seeking sole custody of her son, Tripp, and child support payments. She had argued that the scrutiny the case could attract would turn it into a "media circus" that potentially could cause her son embarrassment as he grows older.

"In this day and age of the internet, media stories remain available for years, even decades, after they are first published, and anything printed in the media [whether it is true or not] will be available to Tripp when he is old enough to read," she said in an affidavit.

Levi Johnston, who is seeking joint custody, has pushed for open court proceedings, saying he "just wants a simple case on the merits."

"I do not feel protected against Sarah Palin in a closed proceeding," Johnston said in an affidavit. "I hope that if it is open she will stay out of it. Bristol's attorney is her attorney."

Bristol Palin said that her mother, who resigned as Alaska governor in July, would not be involved in the case other than as "grandmother."

Palin's petition also seeks a visitation schedule for Johnston, who she says has exercised "sporadic visitation rights."

This case should've been kept private. Levi Johnston, whose already proven how much he loves the public spotlight, has no proof of Sarah Palin's involvement here. And if Bristol's mother is supporting her daughter here, well, that's what most moms would do. This is about nothing but Levi Johnston continued contempt for Sarah Palin, so much so that he would even put his personal hate for her ahead of the best interests of his son. He's a sad and pathetic young man who clearly needs lots of help. One can only hope that the Alaskan court doesn't allow personal feelings about Sarah Plain to affect their final judgment in deciding this custody case.

Levi Johnston Starts Porn Career, Poses For Playgirl

People.com:

Photos from Levi Johnston's much-anticipated Playgirl pictorial made their debut early Saturday morning, with the father of Sarah Palin's grandson losing his shirt but keeping the poses decidedly PG-13.

According to Daniel Nardicio, a spokesperson for Playgirl, additional photos of Johnston will be released on a weekly basis. Johnston, 19, said earlier this month, "People won't be disappointed. It will be tasteful."

The irony is that the word has long been out that Playgirl is read by more men than women, but Levi probably doesn't have that much working between his head to care about that. Then too is the fact that if it wasn't for the woman that he's constantly out there bashing, Sarah Palin, no one would know or care who Levi Johnston is.

Sarah Palin "Appalled" By Levi Johnston's Comments, Says He's "Desperate" for Doing Playgirl

SeattlePi.com:

Sarah Palin says she is "appalled" at Levi Johnston's claim that she called her son, Trig, "retarded" and takes the father of her grandson to task for posing for Playgirl.

"We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family," Palin says in a statement, according to People. "We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied. Trig is our 'blessed little angel' who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life." (Trig, 1, has Down's Syndrome.)

Johnston made the remark on Wednesday's The Early Show, on which he also claimed to know secrets about the former Republican vice presidential nominee that "could hurt her." "I'm not going to go that far," Johnston said. "You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt her, I could very easily. But there's — I'm not going do it."

Johnston's "lies" are part of his ploy to drum up attention, Palin said, noting the 19-year-old's decision to pose fully nude for Playgirl.

"Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies," she said. "Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention."

Levi Johnston To Pose For Playgirl

NYDailyNews.com:

Levi Johnston the baby daddy of Sarah Palin's grandson, is looking forward to his photo spread in "Playgirl," but he promises to "keep it classy."

In an interview with Star magazine hitting stands nationally Friday, Johnston said he hasn't yet decided whether he will pose fully, frontally nude in an upcoming photo shoot for Playgirl.

"I don't know. I'm going to decide that on the fly. I want to keep it classy. I don't want to do something I'll regret," the hockey hunk said.

Johnston fathered Tripp with Bristol Palin, daughter of the ex-Alaska governor, but their engagement ended in rancor.

Since then, Johnston has capitalized on the notoriety by exposing what he claims is Palin family dirty laundry.

And now, he is taking exposure to another level. Levi said he's exercising in preparation for the photo shoot, specifically his back side.

But he said he isn't nervous about posing naked. "What's to be nervous about? I guess some people would be nervous to pose nude, but I'm not," he said.

"I'm ready to do it. I'm feeling confident. I've got nothing to hide."

The dumb get dumber, what a media whore.
