The 20-year-old single mom writes in her new book of losing her virginity to boyfriend Levi Johnston on a camping trip after getting drunk for the first time on too many wine coolers.
She awoke in her tent, alone, with no memories of what had happened as Johnston “talked with his friends on the other side of the canvas.” She had vowed to wait until marriage. And she had lied to her parents about where she was going.
After that night, Palin vowed to her mother, Alaska governor Sarah Palin, that she’d abstain from sex until marriage. She continued to have sex and at 18 became pregnant.
“I’d just made a complete fool of myself and given my family the middle finger,” she says after learning Johnston was cheating on her. His side of the story will be told in his upcoming book, “Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs,” due for publication this fall.
Bristol’s memoir, co-written with Nancy French, is due out next week.
Well here is the first look of Ed Harris dressed up as John McCain for his role in HBO’s upcoming move, Game Change, which is about McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Last month we were treated to a sneak peak of Julianne Moore in her role as Sarah Palin, I think both of them look very convincing. What do you think?
I’m not going to lie, at first I thought this was a photo of the real Sarah Palin but it’s actually a photo of Julianne Moore dressed up as Palin for her new HBO movie Game Change.
The movie, which went into production yesterday, follows John McCain‘s 2008 presidential campaign where he picked Palin as his second in command. Ed Harris will take on the role of McCain while Woody Harrelson will play Steve Schmidt and Melissa Farman will portray Bristol Palin.
We all know that Palin isn’t one bit happy about this movie but honestly who really cares about her opinion? I think the resemblance uncanny, what about you?
Teen pregnancy pays off, well that is if your Bristol Palin because according to new tax documents she managed to rank in more than $262,000 in 2009 for being a spokesperson for a teen pregnancy prevention campaign.
Bristol gave her name to The Candie’s Foundation back in 2009 not long after giving birth to her son, Tripp, when she was 18-years-old and that obviously paid off because she maid that amount of money. A source said:
“The money she received was from multiple projects she did with them, she shot PSAs, print and Internet ads and did town hall meetings, as well, and the money she made was an accumulation of all of that. This is not out of the ordinary for a celebrity to make an income off of a charity they represent.”
So even though Bristol helped destroy her mother, Sarah Palin‘s, presedntial campaign back in 2008 because of her pregnancy she still managed to come out on top with this amount of money from just this one campaign. No word on how much she makes from other projects but she is still working for the foundation.
Bristol Palin has a new boyfriend, and while the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ alum declined to name her new beau, she said she’s “thrilled.”
The 20-year-old daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gushed about her new life in Arizona in a radio interview Monday morning, saying, “I love the town that I live in. I love my house. Tripp’s happy. He’s healthy.”
Bristol admitted she’s asked her ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston to sign away his parental rights to their 2-year-old son. “Have I asked him to change Tripp’s last name? Of course,” she quipped. “I’ve asked him to do that many times. Just sign over your (parental) rights. He just doesn’t want to sign them over because it looks bad on paper.”

She added that since her stint on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Levi has “seen (Tripp) at most three times,” and each visit lasted only a few hours. Bristol also brought up the possibility of a career in radio.
Kathy Griffin hosted the VH1 Divas salute to the troops this weekend, but her “jokes” about Bristol Palin being “fat” fell flat.
“She’s the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight,” Griffin said in reference to Bristol’s trip to the finals on “Dancing With the Stars.”
Even after the troops’ loud booing, Griffin continued the attack.
“No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic,” Griffin said. “She’s like the white Precious.”
(Actress Gabourey Sidibe played the role of “Precious,” a 350-pound black woman in the hit Lee Daniels film which was released last year.)
But Palin, 20, isn’t letting 50-year-old Griffin’s digs bring her down.
“The audience’s reaction to this ‘comedian’ spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too,” Palin told Pop Tarts in an exclusive statement. “I hope people didn’t have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms.”
The annual VH1 show, which was taped at San Diego’s Miramar Marine base and presented by the USO, also featured a slew of young performers such as Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Paramore.
According to PopEater’s Rob Shuter, VH1 producers considered editing out the awkward dialogue and response, recorded Friday night, but given the attention it generated, decided to leave it in Sunday’s television broadcast.
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.
