In a feat that may have seemed impossible at the conclusion of 2009, Sarah Palin became an even more visible national personality in 2010. After she and Republican presidential nominee John McCain lost the 2008 election by some 8 million votes to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, it may have seemed that Palin would simply fade out of the national spotlight and return to Alaska politics. And when Palin abruptly announced in July 2009 that she was quitting her job as Alaska's governor, little more than two years after being elected, many ...
(Sept. 3) -- Reality-show producers Stone & Co. might want to rethink the name of their upcoming pilot, "Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office," because it turns out Alaskans really, really don't love Levi Johnston. A poll released Friday by Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that only 6 percent of Alaskans polled had a favorable view of the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild. And that could have a heavy impact on both his campaign for mayor of Wasilla and the reality show that sparked his campaign for mayor of Wasilla. As the polling organization put it (somewhat oddly) on its blog, ...
(Aug. 10) -- Levi Johnston, 20, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, confirms that he would be gunning for her old spot as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, in the next election. If successful, Johnston says he'll even venture onward and try to claim Palin's former position as governor. The stunt is reportedly as serious as it gets, though it will serve as the basis for the newly single young bachelor's forthcoming reality show, tentatively titled "Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office." The election's not until 2012, which gives Johnston a chance to take current mayor Verne E. Rupright up ...
(Aug. 3) -- Last month, Sarah Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol, shocked the world (and her mom) by announcing her (re)engagement to ex-boyfriend and baby-daddy Levi Johnston on the cover of Us Weekly. Now, she's turned to another celeb tabloid to break the news that she's breaking it all off, again. As People reports today: In an emotional phone interview with PEOPLE, Palin spoke through tears about feeling heartbroken, humiliated and trapped -- while Johnston acted cool. "There's been no remorse," she says, adding that she's seen him only once in the past three weeks. How did it all go ...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Dec. 29) -- Sarah Palin's oldest daughter appears to have lost her bid to keep a bitter legal dispute with her 1-year-old son's father confidential. An Alaska judge last week denied Bristol Palin's request to keep the legal proceedings of her custody dispute with Levi Johnston closed. Palin, 18, filed a petition in early November seeking sole custody of her son, Tripp, and child support payments. She had argued that the scrutiny the case could attract would turn it into a "media circus" that potentially could cause her son embarrassment as he grows older. "In this day and ...
Huffington Post now has additional video up of Levi Johnston, father of Sarah Palin's grandson, and his mother and sister as they appeared on The Tyra Banks Show today.While I rightfully chastised Levi for violating Bristol's privacy, and taking an unfounded shot at Governor Palin, the rest of this story just gets sadder.In the first clip, Levi talks about rumors that have spread about him, which is ironic considering his own dishing and his sister's reporting to Star magazine.The sad part is that Levi sees a mountain of heartache in his young family's future:Johnston also told Tyra that he ...
