    The media’s been pointing to the balloon boy story as the ne plus ultra of celebrity-seeking scumbaggery, but there’s an even better example around, isn’t there? Honestly, at this point, the most rational interpretation of his behavior is that he’s trying to get people to hate him. “Sounds like you really resent her now,” she asks Levi during the interview, which was taped in advance. “Well now I’ve heard all the things she’s said. You know, the Sarah Palin I knew before, it was — it was her putting on a front, it was her being fake to me and...

    Every day we hear more news about the sad state of the U.S. economy. I know things are really bad, having read about the millions of people looking for work and personally knowing some who have been laid off over the past year. Last week I learned just how terrible it truly is in human terms, though, when Ted Turner revealed he is down to his last billion, or two, dropping to number 196 on the most recent Forbes 400 list. There are thousands of stories across the country about Americans suffering the effects of layoffs, extended unemployment, and foreclosure....

    Just how is Levi Johnston gearing up for his big bare-it-all photo shoot for Playgirl mag? Johnston's trainer dishes to People mag how his client is prepping for his big photo spread: eating 3,500 calories a day and working out three hours a day, six days a week, along with a lot of cardio. And luckily for Johnston, his favorite food, moose meat, is quite nutritious. "Moose meat is very good for you, high in protein and very lean," his trainer, Marvin Jones, told the mag. "He's an avid hunter, so he has his own." Jones says the two will...

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Levi Johnston is going for the ultimate exposure — his bare body. Posing nude for Playgirl is next for the 19-year-old father of Sarah Palin's grandchild. Johnston's attorney, Rex Butler, said Wednesday that a formal agreement has not been reached with the online magazine but adds it's a "foregone conclusion" it will happen.

    ABC News’ Jacqueline Klingebiel and Lindsey Ellerson report: Levi Johnston discloses exclusive details about life behind the scenes at the Palin household in an upcoming October issue of Vanity Fair, which is set to hit stands today. In the exclusive interview, Johnston, who fathered Bristol Palin’s baby, revealed that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin asked the young parents to keep their pregnancy a secret during her unsuccessful bid for the 2008 vice presidency. “She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything,”...

    Last night Levi Johnston appeared on masturbatory Bravo exec and host Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live. Yeah, he's down with the gays. He better be, because in 10 years, he'll be a washed-up former pretty boy on VH1. His Skype chat with Cohen, who repeatedly refers to Johnston as his boyfriend, featured a question from popular gay blogger Andy Towle about if Johnston's down with the fact that he's a new gay icon. Johnston said he likes all his fans (cause there aren't many) no matter what, adding that there are gays in Wasilla, and it's not as backward...

    "Tell me when strangers start recognizing you," I whispered to Levi Johnston in the noisy foyer of Glacier BrewHouse last week. He lifted his chin and let it fall in agreement but didn't make eye contact. "Most of the time," he said, "they just stare." Levi was dressed up for dinner with me, photographer Marc Lester, and his advisors, criminal defense attorney Rex Butler and private investigator Tank Jones. He had on nice leather shoes, slacks and a designer T-shirt under a gray North Face jacket. Up close under the restaurant lights, I could see that his facial hair was...

    Here is video of Levi Johnston, former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, talking with reporters. He said he believes Gov. Palin is resigning as Alaska Governor because of the money she can make by writing a book once she is out of office. Johnston also said he could not vote for Palin if she runs for President after seeing "what she's done to Alaska," referring to her resignation before finishing her term. I post this pathetic interview, not because Johnston has one ounce of credibility or judgment when it comes to politics, but because it shows the kind...

    Just days after appearing on the Tyra Banks Show, Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's former fiancé and father to her son Tripp, talked more on CBS' The Early Show about his difficulties with the family of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. One point of disagreement: Whether Johnston, 18, ever lived at the Palin's home. "They said I didn't live there," he said. "[They say] I 'stayed' there. I was like, 'Okay, whatever you want to call it' – I had all my stuff there. So, if you wanna call it staying there, that's fine."

    (CNN) -- It didn't matter what officers said to him: The man was going to jump. The 51-year-old was spotted Tuesday morning by a Tampa, Florida, citizen, perched on the northbound side of the Howard Frankland Bridge, which carries Interstate 275 over Old Tampa Bay. The citizen called police. The story the man told was all too common, according to Tampa Police Department Officer Jeff Kritz. He said he was a carpenter by profession, earning $65 an hour at one time. But over the past three years, as the economy spiraled downward, he said he had lost his business, his...

    PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter was greeted with jeers at a press conference in Cranberry Township. Conservatives are fuming after Specter cast the deciding vote that led to the passage of President Barack Obama's stimulus plan. Specter, 79, acknowledges his run for re-election will be tough. He says he's not completely happy with Obama's plans but he points out that he was able to cut the price tag by over $100 billion and he says he was able to increase the amount of tax cuts. Even so, Specter acknowledges the Republican Party's conservative wing will attempt to unseat...
  • Bush Insiders Call Katrina 'Nail in the Coffin'

    In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, killing more than 1,800, leaving New Orleans a shell of its former self. Now two former advisers to President Bush are saying the deadly hurricane also derailed Bush's presidency, according to Vanity Fair's "oral history" of Bush's perceived missteps. Dan Bartlett, White House communications director and later counselor to the president, said: "Politically, it was the final nail in the coffin." Bartlett, once a trusted Bush adviser, has spoken out in recent years against some administration policies. A year after the hurricane, he told The Post that it "was a setback at...

    There it is. I have uttered those words so contemptible in modern society that the mere allusion to such a sentiment is beyond reproach. Please forgive me, but I no longer have the patience to deal with those who wish to remain mired in the lowest depths of the social order. Are there not means available to these people who perpetually contend for the scraps from the table of those of those who actually contribute to the betterment of our world? This is not to say that I have no compassion for those who are infirmed, whether it be in...

    WASHINGTON – No matter how careful he is, sooner or later President-elect Barack Obama is likely to make a bum nomination or two. "It's unavoidable," says Paul Light, a New York University professor and expert on presidential transitions. It may happen because a nominee has lied about his or her background to Obama's team, or because something that was dismissed as minor turns out to be a big deal. Whatever the reason, "These things are likely to pop up at any time — even though they are trying their darndest to make sure that doesn't happen," says George Mason University...

    Bush may have done a service to us all. The eight years gave us lay offs and unemployment not seen since the great depresion, wars and attrocities commited in the name of advancing american multi corporate agenda and white Christianity, we saw the rich get richer and the poor become even more poor, we heard slogans such as jobless recovery, strategery, modern economy, trickledown effect Ad nauseum. The values of Bush are the values of the capitalist system, another word for fascism. the eight years of Bush proves capitalism is a failed system. We see more debt, unemployment and 100...

    UNEMPLOYED immigrant Nawaz Sharif, 37, built a seven-bedroom mansion in Pakistan after scalping the UK for thousands in benefit fraud, credit card and passport scams. Police, immigration and benefits officials arrested Sharif, who came to the UK in the late 80s, at his home in Slough, Berks. They found more than 35 forged credit cards and 30 passports, numerous envelopes stuffed with hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and two copies of Home Office stamps used to allow immigrants permission to stay in Britain. The dad of three was jailed for five years at Reading in 2006.

    SAN FRANCISCO -- A man who was shot by a San Francisco police officer while fleeing to avoid a panhandling citation has died, authorities said today. The man died at 6:25 p.m. Sunday at San Francisco General Hospital, according to the medical examiner's office. His name wasn't released pending notification of his family. The shooting occurred about 3:20 p.m., after someone complained to police about a panhandler on the median strip of Van Ness Avenue at Greenwich. An officer responded and went onto the median to cite the man, who was uncooperative, said police Sgt. Steve Mannina. When the officer...

    When Christine Drake worked as a Starbucks barista, the Seattle woman with psychiatric disabilities said it was the first time in her life that she "felt a sense of accomplishment." But after two years on the job, a new manager at the Starbucks store at 425 Queen Anne Ave. N. in Seattle allegedly discriminated against Drake, decreased her hours and berated her in front of customers, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Lisa Cox, an EEOC lawyer, said the world's largest coffee retailer ignored Drake's requests for help and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not accommodating...
