Dating after a split can be a good thing for your child.
According to Bonnie Fuller’s gossip website Hollywood Life, Bristol Palin is thrilled that her ex, Levi Johnston, is dating daycare provider Sunny Oglesby. Bristol is quoted as saying, “I have to be happy for Levi’s new relationship because it sounds like his new girlfriend is influencing him to want to actually spend time with Tripp.” Johnston has allegedly not asked to see his son in five months.
Fuller is billing this news as a “HollyShocker!,” and I suppose some people might be surprised to hear that a woman with a child could be happy that her ex is dating someone steadily. I relate to Palin’s elation, though. I can’t say that I was initially thrilled when I found out my ex was seeing someone and it was “getting serious,” especially since my daughter was the one who tipped me off – over the phone while she was visiting her Dad. I shouldn’t have been surprised that my ex had introduced our then 4-year-old to his new “friend” without even mentioning the relationship to me, let alone asking if I thought it was appropriate for them to meet, but I was. I was shocked and dismayed, in fact, especially because his new flame is only 16 years older than my daughter. Continue reading »
Heads up, Kathy Griffin! Your wannabe boyfriend is back on the market.
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are taking some time away from their on-again, off-again romance. E! reports that Bristol got upset about an interview with Johnston’s ex, Briana Plum, in which Plum shared some dicey things about her relationship with Levi. Plum also apparently posted a picture of herself with Levi on Facebook, the online tool of choice for cheaters. All of this came on the heels of rumors that Levi had fathered a child with another ex, Lanesia Garcia, who vehemently denies a relationship with Levi, saying the pair haven’t talked since they broke up in 8th grade.
I think it’s safe to assume that all plans for a reality show based on the couple’s lives have been halted, but what does the split mean for their son, 19-month-old Tripp? Continue reading »
Just when we thought the Palin family circus couldn’t get more tawdry, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson have announced their intentions to get married on live TV.
They’re also shopping “several” reality show concepts around Hollywood. Their plan: do a reality show about “parenting issues”. You think these two might know something about that?
Now, in their defense, these kids have barely dipped their toes into the waters of adulthood. They can’t be expected to exercise solid judgment, let alone tact, when it comes to knowing what they should or should not do on national television.
But where are their parents? Oh, right. Making a spectacle of themselves on TV.
Those crazy Palin kids. Bristol Palin announced her secret engagement to Levi Johnston on the cover of US Weekly. “We got engaged two weeks ago. It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents,” Bristol told the magazine.
That’s right, Bristol and Levi have been engaged for weeks (three months, reportedly), but Sarah Palin found out along with the rest of us. “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be,” Bristol told the magazine. “Hopefully she will jump on board.”
So what was Mama Palin’s reaction?
Levi Johnston recently made a very public apology to the Palin family. “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.” Why the change of heart? Rumor has it that Johnston and Bristol Palin are back together. — Jezebel
Closing the door on future pregnancies can be a difficult milestone, so difficult that sometimes a person might imagine the door isn’t shut so firmly after all. Her Bad Mother writes about her experience with what she calls a short-lived hysterical pregnancy.
She’s just like any other teen mom, that Bristol Palin. Working hard, loving harder, making choices between going to hockey games or a paycheck. She chooses the paycheck. She’s got bills! Don’t let the Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors gowns fool you.
Harper’s Bazaar’s interview with the daughter of the never-to-be vice president, Sarah Palin, hits newsstands June 1. We learn what’s it’s like to have your pregnancy outed on national TV (Totally sucked. She was 40 pounds “overweight”!), whether she’ll settle down (with the right guy, sure) and what she’d be doing if it weren’t for her son, Tripp (college, somewhere warm).
She also tells us the subject of her PowerPoint presentation in college speech class. Continue reading »
When you can take a shot at abstinence-only education, the former Governor of Alaska and vice-presidential runner-up and shill shelled nuts all in one blow, you must be some kind of genius. Or Levi Johnston.
