Bristol Palin admits it’s tough raising a son at the young age of 19!
“The lack of sleep definitely surprised me,” she said on The Oprah Winfrey Show Friday. “A typical day starts at 4, 4:30 [a.m.].”
She continued to describe an incident when she couldn’t help but cry while trying to rock her screaming baby to sleep.
“I have this big supportive family and stuff, but I just felt so alone,” she said. “[It] felt just like a breaking point where reality sunk in that, yeah, I have a kid. This is my life. This is my full-time job now.”
Bristol, who demands $1,750 a month in child support from her ex, Levi Johnston does wish she was at college with friends, but she’s not too upset. “I have a beautiful baby boy, and he’s awesome.”
And while she is in the process of gaining full custody over her son Tripp, she says she hopes young girls will learn from her story and wait to have sex until they’re married. Additionally, she claims she will not have sex again until she is married.
“I just think it’s a goal to have, and I think other young women should have that goal,” she said.
And her mom, Sarah Pailn, who appeared alongside Bristol via satellite says she wishes she “had had more candid talks about having unprotected sex, about having sex before marriage.”
Regardless though, she is still proud of her daughter.
“She’s handled this so well,” she told Winfrey. “She’s very strong, quite independent. And she has taken full responsibility for her actions. She’s raising Tripp just splendidly, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
Too bad she’s got a loser/nude-model as her baby’s daddy… that’s the real tragedy in this story.
Sarah Palin appeared on today’s Oprah Winfrey Show where she was not afraid to share her opinion of Levi Johnston’s “aspiring porn” career, referring to it as “a bit heartbreaking.”
The former Alaska governor continued, saying “I believe he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now… He’s quite busy with the media tours.. That’s Levi’s gig right now.”
However, she did lighten up a bit when she noted that Johnston will “forever be the father of this beautiful baby [grandson Tripp],” reports ETOnline.
Additionally, Palin had said that Johnston would be welcome to the Palin table for Thanksgiving, but he was having nothing of it.
“You could tell by her laugh she was full of it,” he reportedly told Playgirl on Friday. The idea was “a nice gesture but she didn’t mean it,” he added, saying that Thanksgiving day with the family would be “awkward.”
Also in the interview, Palin noted how “devastated” and “embarrassed” daughter Bristol was by the media coverage of her teenage pregnancy. “I was naive to think that the media would leave my kids alone,” she admitted to Winfrey.
Well we don’t know what’s more embarrassing… the fact that she was pregnant at such a young age and it was all over the media, or the fact that her baby’s daddy is an aspiring nude model! Yikes… that poor poor girl.
Oprah Winfrey is bringing out the big guns this season!
The talk show queen finally booked Sarah Palin on her show.
The outspoken Barack Obama supporter tried to get Palin on the show during the 2008 election season with no success. However, there’s nothing like releasing a book to change a person’s heart.
Palin is slated to go on the show on Nov. 16, which is the week her autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life hits bookstores.
Block party shmock party - now that’s the O party The Boots Girls want to crash! We foresee the claws coming out for this match and we can’t wait!
Sarah Palin released a statement this morning saying she accepts David Letterman’s second apology regarding the offensive joke about her daughter.
In a statement issued today, Palin said the apology was accepted “on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.”
However, a group of protesters in the “Fire David Letterman” movement believe last night’s apology was not enough and they held a protest rally this afternoon in front of Ed Sullivan Studios.
Palin proved to be the bigger person by accepting the pathetic agenda-driven comedian!
A week after David Letterman made a distasteful joke about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter, he’s apologizing again!
During the taping of Monday’s Late Show, Letterman explains that the tacky joke referencing Sarah Palins’s 14 year-old daughter, Willow, got “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York’s Yankee Stadium, was intended for Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol.
“It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood,” he said on his show. “It’s my fault.”
Letterman concluded his second attempt at apologizing by saying he will try to do better in the future.
Critics thought Letterman’s first apology last week was insincere. Letterman smirked during the initial apology and downplayed the lewd joke by saying that most of the jokes he says are in bad taste and he regrets almost all of them.
Letterman has received criticism from all sorts of public figures ranging from the women of The View and the Alaska governor herself. Palin said he owes an apology to “young women across the country” on the Today show Friday.
Letterman’s second apology is too little too late. If he would’ve issued a genuine apology the first time around, the public would’ve found it way easier to forgive him. He’s not sorry - he’s just sorry he’s getting such bad press for his despicable comment. The bottom line is that no joke - especially ones insinuating the rape of a teenage girl - should be made about ANY politician’s child no matter what their political affiliations are. Period!
Just days before her daughter Bristol is set to give birth, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is dealing with other issues at hand involving drug charges!
The mother of Levi Johnston, the boy who got the teenage Palin pregnant, was arrested Thursday in an undercover drug sting according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Sherry Johnston has been charged six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.
“No other details, including the kind or amount of drugs, were released because it is an ongoing investigation,” police said.
Sherry was served the warrant around noon at her home in Wasilla, Alaska, at the “conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation,” a police statement read. She was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
As for the Palin family, the governors office issued this statement:
“This is not a state government matter. Therefore the governor’s communications staff will not be providing comment or scheduling interview opportunities.”
Sarah Palin is blowing off Oprah Winfrey and she’s pissed!
“I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over…I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King],” Winfrey told Extra. “But she didn’t talk to me.”
A bitter Winfrey went on to make a catty remark about Palin since she hasn’t gone on her show.
“Maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal,” she said.
Oprah is clearly freaking out, because for once someone hasn’t come running to her after she’s snapped her fingers.
Can you blame Sarah for not jumping at the opportunity to go on Oprah when she was an outspoken supporter of the ticket she ran against in the presidential election? It’s not like the interview would be necessarily fair or objective.
There has been much discussion about how fair or unfairly Sarah Palin was treated by the media as opposed to Barack Obama.
I’m in the media so I am fully aware of the bias that exists. However, I don’t see how people, who don’t seek out several outlets for their news, could see that without examples such as this video.
I think it’s pretty ridiculous that the media harped on the fact that the Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska (which is true!) and that the campaign had her allegedly spend $150,000 on her wardrobe. Meanwhile, Obama talked about how he campaigned in 57 states in America; yet, NO ONE KNEW THIS!
Sorry, but it’s a very scary day in America when the media is so blatantly brainwashing and pushing people toward one agenda!!! The media is supposed to be trustworthy and objective. We have ALWAYS believed in high ethics for journalism and ALWAYS will. However, we have seen how very few share our thoughts in the business these days and it makes us sad and extremely concerned!
Newsweek is reporting that Sarah Palin once greeted John McCain’s male campaign staffers wearing nothing but a towel.
At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, two campaign workers went to Palin’s room to brief her, according to the magazine. After a minute, Palin came into the room with a towel wrapped around her body, and another on her wet hair.
Palin told them to chat with her husband, Todd, and said, “I’ll just be a minute.”
Uh, so???
As a former intern for the White House Press Corps, let me tell you that’s nothing compared to the ways I heard former President Bill Clinton greeted people in the Oval Office.
Tina Fey says that she is retiring her role as Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live for good!
“I have to retire just because I have to do my day job,” Fey, the creator and star of 30 Rock, told Entertainment Weekly.
Yeah that and perhaps because Palin’s ticket didn’t win! Now we can only hope that Ben Affleck will return to SNL on a weekly basis to impersonate Keith Olbermann.
