Bristol Palin really wants to be a role model, you guys!
During the taping of “Dancing With The Stars”, Bristol was referred to as a “teen activist”. She also filmed a PSA with The Situation, urging people to practice safe sex. Keith Olbermann took offense to Bristol and nailed her on his show (not literally), calling her his Worst Person In The World.
Recently, a left wing commentator named Keith Olbermann attacked me for being a spokesperson for abstinence education and for being an Ambassador for the Candies Foundation, which promotes teen pregnancy awareness and prevention education. He went so far as to call me “the worst person” he knows, apparently, for my efforts to educate teenagers about the real world risks of premarital sex.
Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity. Mr. Olbermann fails to understand that in order to have credibility as a spokesperson, it sometimes takes a person who has made mistakes. Parents warn their children about the mistakes they made so they are not repeated. Former gang members travel to schools to educate teenagers about the risks of gang life. Recovered addicts lecture to others about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse. And yes, a teen mother talks about the benefits of preventing teen pregnancy.
I have never claimed to be perfect. If that makes me the “worst person in the world” to Mr. Olbermann, then I must apologize for not being absolutely faultless like he undoubtedly must be.
To Mr. Olbermann let me say this: you can attack me all you want. But you will not stop me from getting my message out about teen pregnancy prevention. And one day, if you ever have a daughter, you may change your mind about me.
Bristol Palin
CANARD?!?? She did NOT write this. She couldn’t have. It sounds like something Mama Grizzly had concocted so her daughter wouldn’t be perceived as an idiot.

Oksana claims in her declaration, during the January 6th showdown, Mel Gibson struck her twice, and the second blow grazed Lucia, drawing blood and creating a small abrasion on her chin.
Oksana submitted a photo in the custody case purporting to show Lucia’s injury. [ see photos ]
That’s all well and good, but TMZ has obtained screen grabs from a video Oksana sent Mel on January 9th, three days after the incident, which Mel’s lawyers claim in court documents show absolutely no evidence of an abrasion.
Looks like a pimple to me.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mel’s lawyers claim Oksana doctored the photo to prove a phantom injury.
All their dirty laundry just seems so bizarre to me.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker‘s marriage may be over, but the tattoos they got for each other remain.
It’s not like we haven’t heard of the tattoo curse before.
Eva has Tony’s jersey number ‘Nine‘ tattooed on the back of her neck. Both of them are inked with the date of their wedding, July 7, 2007, in Roman numerals–on Eva’s inner wrist and around Tony’s ring finger.
According to TMZ, Eva also has Tony’s initials tattooed in a private place — more than likely her crotch area. ha!
They are not the first celebrity couple to get inked for love then split.
Oksana Grigorieva told Larry King on Wednesday night that Mel Gibson hit her, choked her and waved a gun at her during a violent encounter in January.
Oksana recalled on ‘Larry King Live‘ that on “Jan. 6 [of this year] the beating took place. Mel actually assaulted me while I was holding the baby in my arms … I ran into my son’s bedroom and told him, ‘Mel’s crazy.’”
Oksana recalled on ‘Larry King Live‘ that on “Jan. 6 [of this year] the beating took place. Mel actually assaulted me while I was holding the baby in my arms … I ran into my son’s bedroom and told him, ‘Mel’s crazy.’ ”
See the interview:
Oksana said that her 12-year-old son, Alexander, hid behind the bed as Oksana stood with her daughter Lucia, “like a mother protecting her cubs.”
Gibson came into the room and struck her twice, she said. When Larry asked if Mel was drunk, Oksana said he was not. “He hit me, and choked me in front of my son and brandished a gun at me.”
King asked her, “Why did you stay with him?” Grigorieva replied, “That was a mistake. I stayed a little bit too long.”
Oksana admitted to forgiving and getting back with Mel at one point: “I gave him the last chance. He asked me for the last chance. He begged. He cried. He cried on his knees. What am I supposed to do?”
When asked by the talk show host why she taped the phone calls with Gibson, Oksana said, “I started taping it around 11 o’clock because I thought, ‘I’m actually not going to live through the night. I’m actually not going to live through the night and I wanted my mother to be able to prove that if I’m dead that this is who did it.”
Mel Gibson, on the other hand, enjoyed a night out with his ex-wife Robyn on Tuesday, according to The Daily Mail. In a show of Gibson family unity he and his former wife of nearly 30 years were among the guests at their son Milo’s 21st birthday at a restaurant in Hollywood. News came out this week that Mel admitted to slapping, not punching, Oksana in a fit of hysteria.
Team Oksana Grigorieva lied to TMZ when they denied she had an intimate relationship with her convicted felon/former bodyguard, at least according to several emails between the bodyguard and Oksana’s lawyer.
But Oksana’s lawyers say there’s more to the story.
TMZ broke the story that Kristian Herzog, who has served time in jail for impersonating a cop, claimed to have been in an intimate relationship with Oksana that began in May.
Oksana’s lawyer, Dan Horowitz, told TMZ last month, with Oksana looking on, Herzog’s claim was “ridiculous”.
But TMZ has obtained an email Herzog sent to Martin Garbus, another one of Oksana’s lawyers, on November 6th.
The email reads: “Martin: Do you agree that Team Oksana at some point, needs to admit Oksana and Dan LIED to TMZ and you need to tell TMZ the truth that in fact Oksana and I were intimate?”
The next morning, Garbus responded with one word: “Yes.”
Dan Horowitz explains the emails this way:
“Marty’s job was to placate Kris, because once he got cut out of Oksana’s world completely, we assessed him to be a clear and present danger to her life. By stringing him along and making him feel important, we hoped that he would just fade away rather than explode and hurt somebody.”
TMZ has also obtained photos (above) showing Oksana in a nightgown, sitting on a bed with Herzog at her home. But Horowitz claims the pictures were taken during a PEOPLE magazine photo shoot and were in no way intimate.
A resounding chuckle — and why would People stage THAT particular set up?
The judge in the custody case issued a restraining order against Herzog last month, concluding he was a danger to Lucia and prohibiting him from going near her.
Lindsay Lohan reunited with her estranged father Michael at the Betty Ford rehabilitation center in California yesterday, RadarOnline.com reports.
It was the pair’s first meeting in seven months.
“It was an emotional reunion,” a source tells Radar. “There were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other. They spent hours together; it was not a fleeting encounter, this appeared well-planned in advance.”
The reunion was a shocker, considering LiLo’s recent comments to Vanity Fair — “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life,” she said over the summer.
The reunion took place around 1PM Sunday at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, Radar writes. The site’s source says Michael’s visit came at Lindsay’s invitation.
“Michael turned up at Betty Ford with some gifts and items for Lindsay,” one insider says.
Asked for comment, Michael Lohan told Radar: “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter. However, what I will say is that I am an incredibly proud father tonight. My daughter is progressing extraordinarily well.”
In April, Lindsay called her father a “pathological liar” on Twitter, writing, “When will it ever end … it’s been going on my whole life with him — hasn’t he caused enough pain?”
Visiting ‘The Today Show’ on Monday, Dina Lohan told Matt Lauer that Lindsay could “absolutely” benefit from a healthier relationship with Michael.
The always-surprising Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva saga continues with Grigorieva filing a contempt of court charge against Gibson on Thursday, RadarOnline.com reports.
She claims the movie star has failed to pay the $20,000-a-month in child support he was court-ordered to provide her.
If he is found guilty at a hearing on November 10, he could face jail time or have his wages garnished.
“For three consecutive months, Mel has paid Oksana somewhere between $5000 and $10,000 each month, it varies, but either way, it is well short of what a judge instructed he must deliver the mother of his child,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
Gibson, reportedly worth around $500 million, was ordered by a Los Angeles judge to increase his child support payments from $5,000 to $20,000 a month. But RadarOnline reports that Gibson is refusing to pay the full amount until the judge rules on whether or not he can charge Grigorieva rent for currently staying in the house he owns. He wants to deduct $6,000 a month.
Lisa Bloom, Grigorieva’s attorney, has some sharp words for Gibson. “Mel Gibson, at this point, is a deadbeat dad.”
Fireworks erupted on the set of ‘The View’ today when hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Beharleft the set during an interview with Bill O’Reilly while discussing the proposed “Ground Zero mosque.”
“The mosque down here on 9/11. That’s inappropriate,” O’Reilly said of the planned Islamic community center being built near the site of the former World Trade Center.
“Sure, they have a right to do it,” he continued. “But it’s inappropriate because a lot of the 9/11 families who I know, say, ‘Look, we don’t want that.’”
When Joy, Whoopi and the other ladies expressed their opposition to ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ star’s opinion, he attempted to shut them down.
“Listen to me because you’ll learn,” he exclaimed. He added that he believes President Obama’s numbers are falling because of his unwillingness to comment on “the wisdom of” building the community center.
“You’re saying that Americans are not smart enough to recognize that while it is part of our Constitution to say freedom of religion and freedom to worship and there were 70 families who are Muslim who also died in that building. So you’re saying that his saying that they have the right to do it and not saying anymore is why his approval ratings have gone down?” Goldberg questioned.
The heated discussion went back and forth, but the huge blow came after O’Reilly said “Muslims killed us on 9/11,” causing Goldberg and Joy to walk off the set enraged.
In his new movie, The Dilemma, Vince Vaughn uses the the phrase “that’s so gay” well this didn’t settle too well with Anderson Cooper because he has lashed out at Vince and the movie.
Anderson was on the Ellen DeGeneres show discussing homophobic bullying, which has seen a raise in teenagers committing suicide, when he talked about the the trailer for The Dilemma, he said…
“I was sitting in a movie theater over the weekend and there was a preview of [Vince Vaughn's new] movie, and in it, the actor said, ‘that’s so gay,’ and I was shocked that not only that they put it in the movie, but that they thought that it was okay to put that in a preview for the movie to get people to go and see it, “I just find those words, those terms – we’ve got to do something to make those words unacceptable ’cause those words are hurting kids. Someone else I talked to recently said that the words people use and the things people say about other kids online, it enters into their internal dialogue. When you’re a kid, it can change the way you see yourself and the way you think about yourself – the worth that you give to yourself. I think we really need to focus on what language we’re using and how we’re treating these kids.”
For once I actually agree with Anderson Cooper, I absolutely hate the phrase “that’s so gay,” whenever I hear people say it I jump down their throats and give them hell.

His rep warned earlier this week that soccer superstar and father of three David Beckham would fight lurid reports that he was guilty of trysts with prostitutes.
Sure enough, the 35-year-old Brit has followed through, going forward with a major lawsuit against In Touch Weekly magazine.
The suit, filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges libel, slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to RadarOnline.
Irma Nici, 26, is also a defendant named in the documents; she’s the former call girl quoted in In Touch saying she had slept with Victoria Beckham’s husband on multiple occasions — including unprotected sex and a threesome — back in 2007.
David and former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham have been married for 11 years and have three sons, ages 11, 8, and 5.
Taking swift action upon publication of the scandalous report, the athlete certainly doesn’t seem willing to become the next Tiger Woods. And with their children old enough now to read distressing headlines about their famous parents, the couple may be taking a page from the Brangelina playbook.
In February, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (parents of six) filed suit against the U.K.’s ‘News of the World’ for falsely reporting that the couple were meeting with lawyers to break up and plan custody arrangements. The parties settled for “undisclosed damages” in July.
Jerry Lewis has logged over 60 years in showbiz and has seen it all, but what really gets his goat are the current crop of young and troubled celebutantes who seemingly take their charmed lives for granted.
Enemy No. 1: Lindsay Lohan, a name that set Lewis off during a no-holds-barred rant on ‘Inside Edition‘ this week.
“I’d smack her in the mouth if I saw her,” he offered the interviewer when asked what he’d do if he saw Lohan. “I would smack her in the mouth and be arrested for abusing a woman!”
Not about her new romantic comedy ‘Going the Distance’ and not about working with on-again, off-again beau Justin Long. In fact, she went off about a reporter who’d just interviewed her!
“You should have heard this bitch I had to do an interview with before you. God, I wanted to punch her, she would just not drop the youth thing. I have no problem talking about it. I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons,” she recalled to the London Daily Standard.
The actress continued, “It’s actually good to get it done young and have a great life later. But yeah, man, I wanted to rip this woman’s face off. She just would not shut up about it.”
Barrymore never names the reporter or the publication that asked the probing questions. Quick note to self: keep “wild child” questions to a minimum next time we interview Ms. Barrymore.
In what may have been a Hallmark moment from hell, Frances Bean Cobain was publicly blistered by her rocker mom on Thursday—a day after the spawn of Love and late grunge god Kurt Cobain turned 18.
Instead of baking cupcakes, Courtney Love‘s been busy posting a string of rambling verbal attacks against her estranged daughter, culminating with Frances being warned by Mommy Dearest that Love could “ruiinher.”
“youve done a damned good job frances of destroying anything i could build,” Courtney went off. “Why would you leave me and my life in tatters like this” reads another.
She goes on to accuse Frances of plotting to destroy Courtney: “was that therapist right? Why do you want to ruin my personal life?”
But in true Courtney fashion, within minutes she swings from dirty digs at her daughter over lawyers and money to gushing compliments, tweeting that she “aches” for her girl. “I long for your kiss and your sweet head smell, I long for youm I ache for youm I die for you every day.”
Mom and daughter have been embroiled in a vicious, often public battle since late last year, when her own unstable conduct cost Courtney guardianship of Frances.
Courtney’s latest album, Nobody’s Daughter, written while the singer was in rehab, was released in April—just weeks after Frances released her own record.
Too bad they won’t be making beautiful music together anytime soon.
I think these tweets help all of us understand why she lost custody of her daughter.
Oops. Jennifer Aniston used the r-word on Live With Regis and Kelly this morning.
She was having a pleasant conversation with Regis Philbin and guest co-host Kristin Cruz from Los Angeles’ KOST 103.5 radio station about Harper’s Bazaar and her Barbra Streisand photo shoot.
They were looking at photos and chatting. “It was just fun,” said Aniston of the shoot.
Regis replied: “You’re playing dress up!”
And Aniston said, “Yes, I play dress up! I do it for a living, like a retard!” The crowd laughed. (You can see it in this YouTube clip at about the 2-minute mark.)Aniston went on to talk about Streisand.
