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.
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.
The public feud between Bristol Palin and former fiance Levi Johnston could be set to escalate following his appearance on the Teen Choice Awards red carpet in California overnight.
The alleged Alaskan love rat was pictured on the arm of little-known US singer Brittani Senser, who cast him for the video clip to her upcoming single After Love – about a couple driven apart by the girl’s disapproving mother.
The video has been blamed for his most recent split from Palin, who told People magazine last week she had been “played” by the 20-year-old.
Palin said Johnston had told her he was travelling to Hollywood to see a hunting show, but had instead gone to make the video with Senser. Palin, 19, said the clip made fun of her family and his decision to take part was “the last straw”.
“He’s just obsessed with the limelight, and I got played,” Palin told the magazine.
Palin is the daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The couple were only teenagers when it was announced in the middle of the 2008 US presidential election campaign that they had conceived a child together. They broke up in 2009 after their son Tripp was born but announced their engagement was back on three weeks ago.
Johnston’s attorney Rex Butler said his young charge, a former oil rig worker, was using the video clip as a door to a potential acting career.
“He’s looking forward to doing it. It will give him an opportunity to act a little bit in front of a camera. He’s done a commercial before, but something like this is a little more involved.”
Senser said the controversy surrounding Johnston didn’t hurt.
“Why not? Seriously, what he does, people are interested in him. They want to know who is this guy who’s involved so closely with the Palins. He’s not a bad-looking kid.”
My thoughts? Delusions of grandeur.

There is one thing that Sarah Palin hates, and it’s being made to look like a fool by a 20-year-old Alaskan lothario named Levi Johnston.
“Sarah is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore,” said a Palin insider. “It was bad enough that this kid everyone thinks is stupid has already caused Sarah and her family great shame, telling everyone her secrets. Now, she fears he is going to do it all over again. Who knows what family business sweet Bristol told him when they briefly got back together.”
And it looks like Sarah’s fears are about to become a reality. Sources close to Levi tell me his people are already shopping around a “His Side of the Story”-type interview where Levi is quite happy to pose shirtless and reveal the latest secret plans of his almost-mother-in-law for the bargain asking price of $20,000.
We know Levi’s committed to paying child support for little Tripp, but can’t he find a more honorable way to do it?
“He is like a bad penny that just won’t go away,” one friend of the family revealed. “And with his son Tripp being so young, he is going to be in her family’s life for many years to come, however that boy needs to be careful. Mama Grizzly has had enough. My advice to him would be the next time you see Sarah run because she wants to kick his ass!”
Sorry Levi, but you kind of deserve it.

Bristol Palin has confirmed the official breakup of her re-engagement with Levi Johnston.
The young couple graced the cover of Us Weekly less than three weeks ago, proclaiming their happy news; now Sarah Palin’s daughter, 19, told People, “It’s over. I broke up with him.”
Palin says the relationship started heading south the very day the Us Weekly cover story hit shelves — Johnston, who has a 19-month-old son with Bristol, broke news to her that very evening that he may have fathered a child with a young girl. The former girlfriend denied this, but Bristol was finished.
“There’s been no remorse. The final straw was him flying to Hollywood for what he told me was to see some hunting show but come to find out it was that music video mocking my family. He’s just obsessed with the limelight and I got played.”
Reportedly, Palin was emotional in the telephone interview, speaking “through tears about feeling heartbroken, humiliated and trapped – while Johnston acted cool.” Bristol also says she’s only seen Levi once in the last three weeks.
Sarah Palin, who has often sparred with Levi in the press and famously did not condone his re-engagement to her daughter, told the mag,
“I wish for Bristol to be able to move forward in life with her same forgiving, gracious, optimistic spirit, but from henceforth she’ll know to trust but verify. Bristol is strong, she is independent, and she knows what is right for her son.”
Sarah Palin wasn’t the only person kept in the dark about daughter Bristol’s surprise engagement to ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston – funny lady Kathy Griffin was taken aback as well.
Though they never actually dated, Johnston and Griffin have kept up a comedic charade about their so-called “love affair” since making a highly publicized appearance together at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards last August.
“Oh y did I trust my heart 2 a 19 yr old ice-fisherman/babydaddy from Wasila?” the comedienne Tweeted Wednesday about Johnston.
Griffin, 49, even traveled to the Alaskan hockey player’s hometown of Wasila earlier this year to spend time with Johnston as part of her Bravo reality show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.”
“I just have so much in common with Levi. We can talk for minutes,” Griffin once told Time magazine. “As long as I can quote ‘The Bachelorette’ to him, I’d say we have a connection.”
Following news of his engagement, Griffin went on to joke on Twitter that she was putting herself “on a 5150 psych hold,” the same involuntary psychiatric hold once forced upon Britney Spears.
Bristol Palin and Johnston announced today on the cover of Us Weekly that they’re back together and have decided to get hitched. The couple, who ended their rocky romance in March 2009 after a highly publicized breakup, pose together on the magazine’s cover with their 18-month-old son Tripp.
The formerly engaged pair says they got back together three months ago after meeting to discuss a custody plan for their son. An intimate text from Johnston later that night rekindled the young lovers’ romance.

Jesse James, the“Vanilla Gorilla,”has been offered a lot of bananas by the heads behind Playgirl Magazine if he will pose nude for them.
Vanilla Gorilla, aka the new Tiger Woods, has been offered half a million dollars to strip down to his nothings just like Levi Johnston did.
A rep for Playgirl said “We’ll offer him $500,000 to pose in a Coney Island freak show setting. We’d do a whole circus-themed freak show, with tattooed men and sword swallowers!”
Playgirl also offered the same type of deal to Tiger Woods but he turned it down, seeing how much Jesse James likes his porn star women I can’t help but wonder if he would be a bit turned on by this idea.

Bristol Palin has taken ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston to court over child support payments. She wants him to pay her $1,750 per month for the care and expenses of their son, Tripp.
Palin’s affidavit says that she believes Johnston made over $105,000 last year, presumably for showing his Johnson (or not). She also cited various media interviews and “modeling related activities” as his source of income. Ahem, Playgirl, cough cough.
He never disclosed how much he made from the shoot itself, where he was rumored to be showing everything. He reneged on that promise and mostly showed his butt in the shower. Boring!
Bristol says in her sworn statement, “I have received limited and sporadic financial assistance from Levi.” Bristol says Levi has forked over only $4,400 over the 13 months of Tripp’s life — $3,000 on September 9, 2009, $1,400 on December 19.
Regardless, she still wants her 20% because she says he made over $105,000. In other news, some morons paid Levi Johnston over $105,000 to show only his butt.
