Bristol Palin Memoir: From 'Dancing With the Stars' to Author
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsWe have minimum ages for drinking, voting and buying tobacco products. Maybe we should have one for writing a memoir, too. At the ripe young age of 20, Bristol Palin is writing her first memoir, to be published in June. The Amazon page for "Not Afraid of Life" went up today, announcing a release date of June 21. It will be published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins. William Morrow, says its website, has an "80-year legacy of bringing the highest quality fiction and nonfiction to the broadest possible audience." Whether Palin's new book will live up to the publisher's promise of ...
Sarah Palin Book Rips Levi Johnston, 'American Idol'
By not in system - AOL News
NEW YORK (Nov. 18) -- Sarah Palin isn't done with Levi Johnston. And she isn't crazy about "American Idol," either. HarperCollins / AP "America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag," is Sarah Palin's second book. The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate writes in her new book that it was "disgusting" to watch Johnston, the estranged father of her grandson, exploit his sudden fame after she was chosen as U.S. Sen. John McCain's running mate in the 2008 election. She alleges that he was absent when her daughter Bristol Palin gave birth to Tripp and that he ...
Palin Book Knocks Levi Johnston, 'American Idol'
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Nov. 17) -- Sarah Palin isn't done with Levi Johnston. And she isn't crazy about "American Idol," either. The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate writes in her new book that it was "disgusting" to watch Johnston, the estranged father of her grandson, exploit his sudden fame after she was chosen as U.S. Sen. John McCain's running mate in the 2008 election. She alleges that he was absent when her daughter Bristol Palin gave birth to Tripp and that he disgraced himself by repeatedly criticizing the Palins. "Of course, we all had to bite our tongues - more than ...
Critics: Reality Show Is Great for Palin, Not Viewers
By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Nov. 10) -- She may cozy up to grizzlies in the wild, but Sarah Palin is no Snooki. She could be, critics say, but her new reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," just isn't as compelling as the maniacally watchable woman herself, a personality Americans are desperate to know. After previewing clips from the eight-week special, set to air on TLC at 10 p.m. Sunday, most critics are disappointed. They say the footage of the former Alaska governor scaling peaks with her husband, Todd, and icing cupcakes with her youngest daughter is great for the Palin brand but too scripted and polished to be ...
Levi Johnston's Platform: 'I Couldn't Tell You'
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Oct. 19) -- Levi Johnston made his campaign platform public for the first time on Monday during an appearance on ABC's "The View." It's impressive in its brevity, more so than its content. "What can you do that no one else can do? Why should they vote for you?" Whoopi Goldberg asked during an interview with the former fiance of Bristol Palin. "At this point in time, I couldn't tell you," Johnston answered to the collective disapproval of "The View" ladies. However, in Johnston's defense, he did say he "was running for mayor, what, a month ago?" Here is a short clip (with no platform, the ...
Levi Johnston Less Likeable Than John Edwards, According to New Poll
By Dana Chivvis - AOL News(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, ...

Sure, He's Running for Mayor, But What Is Levi Johnston's Political Platform?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(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 ...
