“Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby and then think before they have sex. Think about the consequences … If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me. Nobody.”

Bristol Palin, discussing teenage motherhood with People magazine.

Got opinions? We’re talking about it over on Zelda Lily.

Earlier this week Marin talked over on Zelda Lily about Bristol Palin’s new abstinence initiative.  She has joined with the Candie’s Foundation along with, and prepare for hysterical laughter here, Hayden Panettiere to talk about the only 100% effective form of birth control:  abstinence.

I started reading up on this Candie’s Foundation and I must tell you, I’m more confused than ever.  I think they promote abstinence but then Hayden was quoted as saying, “There’s a lot of different viewpoints on sex, and I’m not someone who will ever boo-hoo anything or say, ‘This is not right,’ or, ‘This is wrong.  You’re going to do what you’re going to do, but at the end of the day, it’s okay as long as you educate yourself, as long as you’re safe, as long as you’re smart.  It’s a topic that’s not talked about enough.”

So there you are ladies!  Straight from the mouth of Hayden Pantyline.  Do whatever you want, it’s okay!  I’m so relieved…I wouldn’t want Hayden boo-hooing my choices.  What an idiot!  Oh, and speaking of faking abstinence, Hayden was recently overheard talking about David Duchovny’s sex addiction woes and said to a friend, “Well if I had to be addicted to something, it would be sex!”

Oh, man. That Palin family. I thought they’d stop entertaining us after this last Presidential election wrapped up, but I should have known better.

Here’s a clip of Levi whining to Tyra Banks about how Bristol is mean to him and won’t let him take the baby anywhere. Poor Levi. He really has that “pathetic” act down pat right now. I almost feel bad for him. Almost. And I love how Tyra is just coaxing out every sob-story word of it, letting every little drop of mock-tragedy fall like water down her silly, silly extensions.

So what does Sarah Palin’s camp have to say about all this? “We’re disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship,” her rep said in a statement. Dude. That’s a really poorly written statement. It’s not clear what “their relationship” and its corresponding “distortion” refers to. The Palins can’t even get a publicist who can write?

Star magazine is reporting that the love affair of the century has come to an end.  No, not Ginger Twat and her billionaire-more serious than that.

Bristol Palin and baby daddy Levi Johnston are ovah!  I’m sure Sarah is thrilled that her daughter has split with the sperm donating high school dropout.  This gives her time.  Specifically, this gives her three years to find a respectable young man to hook her daughter up with-you know, before election 2012!

Levi’s sister, Mercede, told Star that Bristol refuses to let Levi visit, in an effort to keep baby Tripp way from the “white trash” that is his father.  Trash Sis also said that former veep wannabe, Sarah, supports her daughter’s actions.  Of course she does!  It’s a dream come true.

I found this picture of Levi’s finger when I was researching this story.  It seemed like such a romantic notion to have the name of the love of your life tattooed on your finger.  Until I realized that he also has his own last name tattooed on his forearm in large block print.  Not only could he not remember to wear a condom, he can’t remember his own surname?  Odd.

People magazine won the bidding war for the first pics of Bristol Palin’s baby — for a $300K price tag, reportedly.

According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.

The price didn’t soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn’t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.

“Sarah was on the cover of People, Us Weekly, and OK! the same week, and really only People saw a bump in sales,” says a source.

The drug-related arrest of Johnston’s mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.

“The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi’s mom was arrested — well, then you had a story,” says one editor.

What do you guys think Bristol and Levi will do with the cash? I mean, you can’t buy class, and I have a feeling this kid ain’t going to college, so they’ll probably just buy a bunch of cars.

Congratulations to Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, who on Sunday welcomed a son named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.

Bristol is currently residing in Wasilla and completing her high-school diploma through correspondence courses. Levi is studying to become an electrician.

And, with that, hopefully we can now close the book on all Palins everywhere and never have to talk about this family ever again.

Levi Johnston has a “Bristol” tat on his ring finger.

I mean, a little white trashy, but in that endearing white trashy sort of way.

A spokesperson for Petit Tresor is reporting that teen mom Jamie-Lynn Spears wanted to give Bristol Palin a little support while she’s taking heat these days.

The 17-year-old “Zoey 101” star and new mom sent a gift of $60 pink burp cloths to the pregnant, unwed, 17-year-old daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin — and along with it, a message of teen mom solidarity.

A spokesperson for Petit Tresor, the Los Angeles baby boutique from which the gift was bought, told ABCNews.com that Spears included a card with the package that read “Dear Bristol, Hang in there! XXOO, Jamie Lynn Spears.”

Spears’ rep did not confirm the story, but didn’t deny it either.

You guys think this is true?

Or just a really smart PR stunt by Petit Tresor?

John McCain heartily greets Levi Johnston (pictured with Bristol Palin) as he arrives in Minneapolis for the RNC.

What a dashing young lad!

Ya know, this is the problem with pulling a VP candidate out of thin fucking air. I mean, choosing a chick who touts family values after being the mayor of a town with a population under 10,000 before putting in a year and a half as the governor of a state with less than a million people: her kids don’t know early enough to cover their asses.

You’d better believe Meghan McCain’s been keeping tabs on exactly who’s taking pictures of her doing what and if they’re being tagged on Facebook since she was 12 years old.

Bristol Palin?

Not so forward-thinking.

Not that she had any reason to be.

Who’d've thunk she’d be the biggest story in the country at any point in her life?

Hi, Bristol.

Isn’t this fun?

Lindsay Lohan’s latest MySpace blog?

Is about Bristol Palin, of course.

THERE IS NO OTHER NEWS THIS WEEK.

Says Lindsay:

I’ve been watching the news all morning, like everyone else – and i keep hearing about the issues related to ‘teen pregnancy’- It’s all related to Sarah Palin and her 17 year old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place. Its distracting from the real issues, the real everyday problems that this country experiences.

I am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter’s pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them-if elected. I get Sarah Palin’s views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what.

Maybe focus on delivering some words and policy with stronger impact like Joe Biden.
See below for Barack Obama’s thoughts:
From Alexander Marquardt
CNN
MONROE, Michigan (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama said firmly that families are off-limits in the campaign for president, reacting to news that GOP running mate Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

“Let me be as clear as possible,” Obama said. “I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”

Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother.

“How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits.” »

On another note-the last note- i heard a woman say on TODAY on NBC that teens are feeling as if they have to grow up faster. Really? Because, i think that girls that are CHOOSING to be sexually active and are making a conscious decision to grow up faster….. I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren’t protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)

So-those are my thoughts for the day. Enjoy the music :) xoxo

OMG.

Lindsay Lohan knows who Joe Biden is.

My head just exploded a little.

Thanks Anna!

Despite rumors that Sarah Palin’s youngest child is actually her grandchild, Sarah Palin today admitted that her 17-year-old unwed daughter, Bristol, is five months preggers.

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family,” they added.

Um, anyone know this girl’s birthday?

Was she technically sixteen when she got knocked up?

Look how well your abstinence-only model of sex education worked out, governor!

And now you’re forcing her to marry this dude to save some face? How very progressive of you. I’m sure little Bristol is having no second thoughts about that. That kind of thinking is exactly why Hillary’s supporters wanted a woman in the White House. Jesus.

Anyway, congratulations to Bristol and good luck with all this.
