Yet they ran with the SAME COVER as Us Weekly. Connections? Hard to say, OK! is a UK publication owned by www.northernandshell.com (see Richard Desmond - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Desmond ) And seems the US Managing director, Vince Ohanyan, has ties to TV Guide! Imagine that! Lots of digging to be done here folks, Google away.

oh my... UK laws are less permissive when it comes to outright smears and propaganda. I should think a UK magazine might be open to libel charges.

Let them go there. They will be marching to an even steeper defeat.

Why do the libs keep calling this a scandal?

They seem to support the right of young people of a certain age to engage in sex. Is it 14 in Britain?

So what makes this different by their standards?

Surely not the mere fact that Bristol is pregnant.

We really do need a mental health facility for these liberals-—to protect them from harming themselves or others.

Rather than deal with their handover to the muslims, the UK would rather attack America, because we’re not out to slice their chicken necks off.

The French have more testicular fortitude.

Idiot vapid pop culture MSM. Guess it’s transcontiental - that Soros has some loooong arms.

Btw, if the twit who wrote the article you posted is reading this, you say “speculative theory”, I say moonbat lie.

I beg to differ with your assessment... The cover on OK! Magazine is hardly the same as US Weekly. It is the same PR photo (although flipped) - yes. However, the cover title is much, much different - and the article is as well.

As for the photo - PR shots are routinely “shopped” to many different news and media outlets. So, just because two different publications used the same photo in no way means they are related...

If someone finds hard info. that there is some kind of a connection it may be interesting. However, the OK! article doesn’t make the same slanderous charges of “Lies, and Scandal” as the US Weekly cover, and article did.

I am disgusted how Barry and Mickey are dressing their daughters. In the OK rag the little girls look like tarts. What the hell is wrong with these people?

The media, all of them, including GB, are immature rumor mongers. Having a feeding frenzy, that is like watching a train wreck that they have been warned/told was going to happen.

These people need to be stopped. Cut down to size. The media actually feels slighted because Gov. Palin wasn't vetted...........by THEM. They were not given the scoop before McCain picked her, they were thrown when he did, and now they are angry she hasn't sat down with the Gods of the written word so that they can tell us what to think. Temper tantrums of children!

I wish a famous person would let leak a false story about themselves and let them find out they were duped. Doubt they would get it though. The only way is to hurt them in the pocketbook, which I can't do since I don't subscribe to trash.

Ridicule works for those who think they have power, when they don't. May be a way to give them that.

What happened to the purported scandal story on Sarah's baby that Drudge was supposed to be coming out with today?

It was all over a long FR thread yesterday.

If I read correctly, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson announced their engagement before knowing of the pregnancy. So, this is not by definition a shotgun wedding. I have seen a gift registry in JC Penny's listing November 4th, 2008 as the wedding date.

The amount of hateful comments on the blogosphere about this loving couple is despicable. Just Google “Bristol and Levi” and you will think you opened the Gates of Hell.

I think McCain/Palin wrote off the UK electoral votes long ago. I forget how many do they have?

I urge everyone to do what I have decided to do to counter all of the Palin smears. Whenever I see a new smear of Mrs. Palin, I do a drinking trick. Instead of downing a beer, I go to the RNC.com site and donate. The more egregious the smear, the higher the donation. Its up to you all what you feel is egregious-but to me, little Trig brings out the beast in me, so, if it involves Trig, its at least a $25 donation, belittling religion gets you $25-$50, and bashing anyone in the family is minimum $15. Criticizing Piper and her hair styling, for example, net the RNC another $50. Decide for yourself. I love this game......the Palin family wins. The RNC wins. McCain/Palin combo wins. BTW-This is the first time I have ever given to a political campaign and I love it!

The headline doesn’t seem to point to a hit piece inside, unlike US Magazine’s using ‘lies’ and ‘scandal’. The Palins’ probably only sat for a limited number of baby photos which the media has to share.

Barbra Streisand. Yes OK! is sensationalist; that's the nature of supermarket mags.

But there is a qualitative difference between
"A Mother's Painful Choice. How she's standing by her teenage daughter" and
"Babies, Lies, and Scandal. Under attack admits daughter 17 is pregnant."
