Bristol and Levi: Not getting their own reality showAs soon as Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston (commonly known as Listol) announced their engagement, rumors began to fly that they also had a reality show in the works. But, said a representative for 19-year-old Palin, the young couple’s embark into matrimony won’t be part of your regularly scheduled viewing. “There is a lot of public speculation that Bristol and Levi have signed up for a reality show about their relationship. They have not," Palin’s rep told Us Weekly. Although several networks have approached Palin with concepts, the rep added, she hasn’t signed up for any of them. “Her focus remains on doing what is best for Tripp and her family,” Palin’s rep said.

Levi has recently formalized his campaign to run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska as a part of a reality TV show deal. Just when I thought that no one could bring more shame to the once-noble profession of public service...
puhRAYse the lord, HALLELUJAH!!
The main reason, "Dumb and Dumber" has already been done.
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston Are Gross Baboons!! I am going to have to submit them for the IMeanWhat Gross Baboon of the Year contest! Find out more here: http://imeanwhat.com/lastfiveminutesoffame/bristol-palin-and-levi-johnston-are-gross-baboons#ixzz0uKKwgl5l
Darn|! Was eagerly waiting for the premier of "Stupid White Trailer Trash"!
I would prefer a reality show based on obama's long list of whacky anti-semetic, racist, anti-American friends from the dirtiest political city in America- the chicago machine. You could call it the Chicago Machine Playas! Whether it be terrorist bill ayers, poverty pimp rev wright, mulitple felon tony rezko, or know anti-semite louie farrakhan I'm sure all of the idiots who voted for obama would love to see all of those lovable characters exposed in a reality show because the media certainly refused to do so during the election.
Your tinfoil hat is showing. So are your herpes. Put some pants on.
Man, I would have loved to see Palin Vs. Polar Bear for a reality show.
"One family, one endangered arctic omnivore, no guns, see who gets eaten...Thursdays at 8/7c on Fox."
That would be the greatest show ever made.
Well aside from the fact that Polar Bears are carnivores, not omnivores, and are listed as vulnerable, not endangered, it would still be a fine show.
The two were actually turned down by every major network because they have no personalities. This report has it back to front.
Maybe if their mother Sarah ShakesPalin had written the script: "To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous liberals, or to quit halfterm, and by opposing, rake in speaking fees..."
How can this be? I heard Joy Behar announce that Levi and Bristol were getting their own show on The View! She said it was a done deal.
Hello Mate! Call me..I can offer some very substantial relationship advice...watch out for the Teeth.., stick with Kidney blows and for Gosh sakes, Make her put the baby down before you wail on her...No phone Calls! Only in person conversations!
And remember...always get a @(*$*!#@ Job before the Jacuzzi! Soo Relaxing! What's that Bristol? Gurgle Gurgle?..I love you too baby..
There already is one!
Mama Palin talked to Bristol about the opportunity she saw; call it "Bristol and Levi Too my Pregnancy Test Turned Blue."
Mama Palin talked to Bristol about the opportunity she saw, "they coud be the next Jon and Kate plus 8," but instead call it "Bristol and Levi Too my Pregnancy Test Turned Blue."
love that smirk on levi. bet that palin p * ssy tastes real good too.
Pond? Hey moron, it's a fu$king ocean.
"Across the Pond" is a phrase used to describe the trans-oceanic relationship between the UK and the US...idiot.
I don't like "Listol" I think they should be called "Brevi"
Well, I'm glad they refudiated that.
Before she moved home with her baby, Bristol was refreshingly honest in her comments about the realities of teen life. Then, suddenly she was spouting GOP bull about abstinence only, something she once said was not realistic. Now that she has moved out and found her own voice and reclaimed her life, maybe she can write a column about her thoughts on being a newlywed, raising an active little boy, and teenage motherhood and marriage. Maybe she can get some work from Planned Parenthood promoting the idea of using birthcontrol and planning motherhood, and why. She'd be an excellent spokesperson, and dispite the polarity of her mother's politics, everybody likes Bristol and wishes her the best.
I agree! If she'd stay out of politics and just live, her life would be much better. She has enough money already to put her kid through college, and enough visibility to do an interview anytime she needs more cash. She didn't deserve this awful media attention anymore than her mom did. I keep hearing that McCain was supposed to say "Pawlenty" and blurted "Palin" in front of the cameras.
Buster Bloodvessel. Your harvard grad has our country in the middle of a trillion dollar defecit not to mention our unemployment numbers continue to rise along with a shrinking economy all based on the principles of socialism. If you shall haveth I shall taketh away. A distribution of wealth and a high taxing of the middle class is killing this country. I don't care what school you went to I just want someone with commonsense who understands the American people, and if you understand the American people then you know we want the government out of our lives.
Nice quote from FOX. Remember how we got in this mess? I guess it's true, conservatives require simple answers while the rest of us realize nothing is simple. Easy to spend money like Cheney and Bush did, hard to earn it back like the new guy's doing. Social support programs are the usual go-to when the economy begins to fail; if you are up to American History yet in your education you will be learning about Roosevelt and LBJ. Neither was especially socialist, and neither am I, but they both used these methods to pull us out of slumps. Not much has survived from either administration's programs except welfare and social security; figure out how to do away with either one of them without hurting a lot of poor people and we might be electing YOU president. I thought Hillary would do a better job because of her experience, but the party went with the new kid and it was imperative to get President Cheney out of office right away. Remember that "NO NO NO" is not a plan, ok?
Let me add that I don't know why anyone would consider taking their government very far in a socialist direction with the horrible example of England right across the pond. Social support is like a cast on a broken leg and has to come off after a while. I'm going to be offline for a while, maybe later, but this is an argument that has been going on for centuries under the name of "guns vs butter." If you've never heard that, google it and decide which side you are on!
I guess Sara can refutiate this claim!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! And it's ok to be stupid an make up your own words so the Palin clan is redumbtarded.
She's no dummy that Bristol. She's like Momma, holding out for the highest bid.
Imagine that: a reality show about two people completely void of any signs of personality.
Well that's good news! It would have been like some very bad episodes of the Squidbillies. Why are these two of interest again? She's named after a city in Tennessee and he doesn't even look Jewish.
Ssshhhhhhh! Judge Judy is on! Somebody bring me a beer! And some of Dat Moose Jerkey!
The whole family is a freak show.
Remember...Leave the children out of the Commentary....Let these kids grow up in Sunny Wasilla!
Sarah cut them off. That's why they are doing their new show. "Extreme Gnome Makeover".!
Another lie/rumor started about the Palin's by "journalists" meant to demean Sarah Palin to distract us all from the lunacy running rampant in Washington DC right now. Wake up liberal lemmings, when the liberal media attacks Sarah Palin as "white trash", "hillbillie", "hick" what they are revealing is their thoughts about ALL Americans who don't live on the coasts. Only when one goes to Harvard (regardless of the fact that obama got in basically because his dead-beat daddy was from kenya and he was "diverse") are they worthy of leading us little people. Nevermind that obama speaks like a drunken sailor when his beloved teleprompter goes down, or that he claimed eurpoe was a country or that he had been to all 57 states. Just keep following the media's "honest reporting" about Palin.
Do you go to a doctor who flunked over and over? Mine went to Harvard. Sorry that you feel that you are one of the "little people," maybe you should talk to a therapist or something. BTW is it a lie that there will be no reality show? How do you know?
Question: What Magazine did Sarah Palin read pertaining to Bristol and Levi.
Answer: ALL OF THEM!
What does Levi know that he is not telling...hmmmm I'll bet it's the results of their IQ Tests!
Some of the things said on here are very hurtful and just wrong. What did Sarah ever do to you? She is not in congress or the White House. She has a right to her opinions and so do you, but the things some of you post scare me. They scare me for your offspring that you may have.
If Palin is a no name then why do you all keep talking about her? Exactly, you are jealous and your pea sized brain's can't handle the fact that is she loved by millions. Just love Obama and move on with your life.
You KNOW 'Mommy Dearest' had everything to do with this! Wonder how much the republican establishment is paying for a reality show not to happen?......I say this and I'M a republican!
all i can say is THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM A SHOW!!!!!!! IF THIS HAPPENS, THEN TV REALLY WILL BE SHOT TO HELL!! I AM SURE THAT NETWORK STATIONS CAN COME UP WITH SOME BETTER!!!!!! WE HAVE ENOUGH REALITY SHOWS ON THE AIR AS IT IS.... IT'S TIME FOR THE NETWORKS TO GET IT TOGETHER, AND COME UP WITH SOME REAL SHOWS! NOW IF THEY WANNA DO A SHOW WITH THEM, THEN GET TINA FAYE TO PLAY THE MOTHER AND MAKE IT A COMDEY!! NOW THAT WOULD BE TV!!!!
Wasn't there already a show about them? "My Name is Earl".? Let the Trash stay in the Trailer Park...Puhleeeezz..Keep your Mouth Shut and your legs closed Bristol...
oooh you are to funnnnny!
This is honestly the best news that I've heard all day.
Palin is smug and stupid. Or as Shakespeare would say, Smoopid.
The Palins are smarter then any Democratic. President Obama is the worst President we ever had period.
Yes, the person who can't even write a coherent sentence is an authority on intelligence. Right.
I don't have to watch it, I live in an ultra blue area so I witness these types of Democrats each and every day.
Now, go blow out your hair Buster and don't forget to pray toward Washington 4 times a day to your god.
How lib doin!!! lol
Man you are easy to troll. Also, God doesn't live in the DC area but somewhere in the sky. He's doing a good job of stopping the Palin show IMHO.
I agree that the news shows have to generate something to talk about to make people watch them, too bad it is Palin. Wish they would stop mentioning her as it is just contributing to her wealth. On the other hand, she is furthur destroying the republican party who is so disjoint it is pitiful. As for Obama, read his accomplishments. He has done more for america than any president in a loooong time. Tell me what Bush did other than start two wars, blow a lot of money, lie to the public. Tell me what McCain and Palin would have done if they had been voted in instead of Obama....drill baby drill...
A Palin reality show would bring ballence.
They already have a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT REALITY SHOW ON TV, its called JERSEY SHORE!!!
In fact you can call those mindless girls who screw every guy and have hippie professors tell them what and how to think, they are called SNOOKIECRATS!!!
I refudiate your ballence with extrome projuduce. Also, you actually watch Jersey Shore? Wow.
Actually, most of the cast of Jersey Shore has said they're Republican because of Obama's tax on tanning. Nice try though.
The reality show will be President Palin January 2013. Ratings will be sky high.
Seriously, not a chance after the ethics bill she wrote herself removed her from office. You can survive a lot of political gaffes but not making a bad law. She's never going to be a GOP candidate; she'll run as a tea bagger or have to return a lot of PAC money. I feel sorry for her in a way; McCain put a spotlight on her that has ruined what seemed to be an enjoyable little lifestyle.
Thanks to their decision to not be a part of a reality show, we get to preserve our intelligence for a while longer.
Go away ALL Palins...loser kid
When are we going to give up this obsession for Reality TV... If i wanted a dose of Reality all i have to do is look outside my window and thats Reality... I dont watch TV anymore because of the all reality Shows.. America lets get over this phase of Reality Shows... I don't even Watch MTV because It has nothing to do with music anymore.. I was a teen when MTV first came out and It was cool and now 20 years later MTV has sold out.. I really Dont care about Bristol and Levi Johnson....Lets get back to solving out country's problems Like jobs, Economy, oil spill just to name a few..
you know what is so amusing to me. It is the far left Liberals that have put the Palin family in the news. You just can't seem to let it go. Just turn on Joy Behar and see. She can't go one night without mentioning Palin. That's because she has nothing interesting to say. What is it with Palin and you Dems? She is not even in office for anything. She is making no government decisions at all. This was how Obama got elected. There was really nothing good going for him so the best way for him to look good was to put the focus on someone else, that being Palin. It basically worked. Except for the fact that we have not seen one bit of any change, but hey, you made Palin a millionaire. Get over her You got what you asked for.
She amuses us. She is funny like a clown. Also, to be serious, her best political advice post-election was to disappear and stop dangling herself as troll-bait, stay gone for a year or two and do some serious studying so that she could actually do interviews without notes on her hand and have answers to the hard questions thought out in advance instead of becoming a conservative mainstay just the way she is and reminding everyone that she's dumb. Since she hasn't done that, she's an easy target. It's like shooting wolves from a helicopter, or making up words.
Trash. Plain and simple.
Only trash would watch trash.
These two are trash ... bumpin' uglies while praising Jeebus and dropping out of school.
Her mother is trash and nuts to boot (remember the video of her having demons / witches cast out of her?).
Proof positive that people are stupid ... that they would watch this show or condider that unqualified bimbo Sarah fit for office.
What has happened to Greta Van Sustern? She used to be an alternative to Nancy Grace, who I can't stand, for reports on criminal investigations. Now, she seems to have fallen in love with Sarah Palin. Oh, well, I don't watch Fox anyway. Without a show, guess there won't be a marriage? Personally I don't care. Would love to never hear the name Palin again, but Levi is cute. Maybe Kathy Griffin can get him a job!
Bummer!!!! :'-(
An 'easy' high school girl gets pregnant! THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT?
Yes, it's entertainment. . .haven't you heard of MTV's "16 and Pregnant?" Most of the girls say they weren't using birth control, and then they express shock at getting pregnant.
Thank God, we have enough stupid hillbilly's on TV
Well thank you for small miracles!
Actually this story has it mixed up. They contacted several networks pitching the idea to them... All the networks they called turned them away, one even said that they're too boring to be on TV and that they have no real personalities.
Cmon CNN, show off that Palin rack...nobody wants to see him
There IS A GOD! It's bad enough that we have to step over their shallow gene pool....
Good, GREAT! This type of garbage programming isn’t needed!
I'm humbled by the way that this article has brought so many people to a new religious awakening. Thank you all for this spontaneous outpouring of praise, and may the God of your choice smile benevolently upon you all. Gotta go.
Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't we have more important stuff to deal with than these snot nosed brats? Thanks John Mc Can't for bringing this hideous parasite into the limelite. There are so many other important things with real people that need addressing
Who would watch such a show anyway, and why?!
Best news ever!! What Levi did you get sick of Kathy Griffin? Cant understand why! But then again id rather deal with Griffin than with Ms. I can see Russia from my house
Why would they need to sign up for a reality tv show when the "news" media sees fit to shove them up Amurika's collective a$$ on a daily basis?
The reality shows are a medium to de-sensitize Americans to morals. If they view invading peoples' lives for enjoyment and curiosity sake then we are closer to becoming an immoral society. That's the goal of those who control what is on TV.
That's because their lives are not reality. PUt them on TV all you want and it would still be a misnomer.
I agree, we don't want or need a Palin / Johnston reality show, but leave the kids alone. They'll screw up on their own they don't need the news channels following them around praying for a slip up.
GW had a hard time putting 3 consecutive sentences together....he should have used teleprompters then he may have sounded as smooth as Obama!
reality show???? These two slimy toads don't live in reality
no one calls them listol. i hate fluff authors so much.
You poor man. We will all pray for you.
I wish my fat kid would just FO and die..
Fat? She's hot!
But Mommie Dearest!!! Does this mean you also want to get rid of my "mentally challenged" brother?
Don't you get it? The so called denial of a reality tv show is to raise the offer price from the networks and to get the reality tv trash couch potatoes salivating. It's so sad that mamma Palin already damaged Bristol, now we have to watch Bristol inflict the same pain upon her son just to satisfy the average welfare state American.
Bravo!
Fats, we've all got religion today, so pray that doesn't happen. Does Alaska have a Dept of Family and Children Services? Someone should call them.
Barf! The whole extended "family" is excrement.
Sarah Palin really loves her daughter and what she is doing for her shows it.
Lib Democrats hate Palin in a way that can only be compared to how the Nazis hated Jews. This is the first time America has seen this kind of hate in our 234 year history.
Now Bristol can pretend to turn on Sarah, trash her in the lib media, and immeidately she will get billions from the Soros libs and be worshiped in ways that Obama could never even dream of by every Democrat who really is just a being guided by hate. The libs are the way they are and now Bristol is in prime position to become their Jesus.
Sarah has the dems foaming at the mouth now, Bristol as a lib savior trashing her mom will be handed the nomination without needed to do anything other than attack the Democrats #1 enemy of all time.
Watch, say Sarah Palin to a Democrat, it is like giving a bird an alka seltzer.
Anyway it will be the first time a woman has given the lib a thrill running up their leg, their shaking and eyed rolled into the back of their head when Bristol speaks will be pure comedy gold.
you're stupid, and so is your us vs them political outlook.
Doug, get yourself off the drugs man! You sound like an infatuated schoolboy. The Palin clan is a joke, and certainly not deserving of a political office, let alone a reality show. Sounds to me like you're the one with HATE!!!! Even the Palin family isn't safe from your irrationality, you assume Bristol will turn on Sarah even before any show airs. You really do need to get a grip dude.
doug, nj is well-known as a hateful troll on these comment boards. He ascribes all sorts of hatred to others while spewing disturbingly hateful epithets himself. He's obviously mentally ill or he could see how ironic it is. There's no reasoning with him and he has no sense of humor or proportion.
Obviously this is from Palin . . . through a ghost writer of course because you can't type and read your palm at the same time.
I think a fairer comparison would be that liberals hate Palin like the Jews hated the Nazis before they rose to power. Let's not forget what fascism means and who really represents it's ideals.
Your nurse forgot your meds
Spoken like a true Tea Partier and 5-year old. The folks in the Tea Party like Palin because they don't have a brain and they'd rather belive lies and distortion that supported their own twisted hatred of others and jealousies. You can just see ignorant bigoted people like you staring at the TV with jaw dropped open and believing everything Fox tells them. The Fox news is owned by a man who doesn't care about the truth. Grow up and get an independent view of things.
This is a bit of a "non-denial denial". The news reports were that Levi and Bristol were "shopping" a reality show,not that anyone has yet agreed to give them such a show. So the statement that she "hasn't signed up" for a show doesn't mean that they're not still negotiating for one.
There IS a GOD!!!!!
Thank 'God'.. Mike in Montana
Not so fast – have they asked Mama if it is ok not to do a reality show – she might say NO or else refudiate the article
PRAISE THE LORD!
If the couple is "commonly known as Listol" then why is Google not aware of this important item of information. Could it be that we are trying to invent news here?
They are commonly known as "Bristard" around here.
HA Ha!!! What are you talking about..? Sarah is going to be our next president, after all America has shown little brain when picking their presidents...
I hope you are talking about Bush and Co. and not this President -
i agree with you. They did vote for a socialist president. America deserves its mediocre entertainment and its president as an actor. Hope the tea party does something soon. Power to the people!!!
Now let's pray that Palin is struck dumb. Thank you, Jesus, for sparing us this trial.
She's already been struck dumb . . . but just like a decapitated chicken, she doesn't have the sense to stop running around and trying to squawk.
I would like to see the whole Palin clan get a reality show wherein they explore a black hole somewhere in space.
That made me laugh. hahaha I needed one today. Thanks!
Fox channel or what we call Rupert Murdoch's personal megaphone would gladly put tripe like that on TV. Rupert came over from Australia to help the Republicans out in exchange for leniency when it comes to foreign ownership of our previously free news outlets.
What Cheney learned from Nixon's demise is: If you want to be corrupt and stay in power you need to control "what people say" on TV. It was honest reporting that forced a criminal like Nixon to resign. It was dishonesty and ownership of the news media bussiness that kept Bush in office despite all the lies and conduct.
thank God! Deliver us from Palin's!!!
Now if she'd just keep her mom out of the public eye as well, the world would be a much better place.....
And this is what it takes to bring religion to a comment board? Praise God from whom all blessing flow, then.
There is a God after all!
Aw, too bad. I was looking forward to playing "Guess the Real Father" considering they both of them have brown hair and the kid's an obvious blonde.
ever heard of recessive genes? Check out Biology 101 in your local school.
Wow, talk about an ignorant comment. Did you take 7th grade science? You know, where they teach about dominant and recessive genes? My child, the product of two brown haired people, is a red head. We are 100% certain who her father is.
Why are people so hostile toward Bristol Palin? Seems to me she is doing a fine job of raising her son as a single teenage mother. Teen pregnancy is certainly not something we wish for in our families, but it happens everyday at all socio-economic levels. So why the name calling and vicious comments about her and her child?
Byrd, I think it is great that you are paying tribute to the "grand" father of the modern Democrat party who dreamed in his boy "hood" of finding a way to make his dreams come true and ended up making a poltical party carry out his wishes.
That kid's hair will darken like his father's. I bet Levi was blond as a little boy. Tripp is adorable. I hope they'll all be okay.
Byrd, are you serious?? What a putz!!
My spouse was a blondie as a child – now his hair is dark brown. I was also a blondie as a young child, and my hair darkened up in around 3rd grade. Our young child, what do you know, is blonde – and I'm just as sure as anything, that it will darken up over time, as ours did.
Smarten up. MANY children are blonde as babies/toddlers/young gradeschoolers, then their hair darkens up. Not in any way a reflection of "looking like their parents". Good grief.
Please! My husband has black hair, I have dark brown hair, and our youngest is a beautiful little blond. Maybe you should join the Palin staff, with your obvious brilliance.
(Insert eye rolling)
You mean I won't be ablr to see more of them? I can't come home hopping to see them live their negative IQ life style on TV? Thank the Lord!
THANK GOD! Is it just me.. or are more and more no talent (explicative) are getting tv and movie deals because of just random strikes of luck? NO BODY CARES ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS WHEN WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS WE DEAL WITH!
You are so right. Like it takes a lot of talent and knowledge to do what Levi did in the first place. If Sarah had really wanted America to go back to the Bible basics, then unwed Bristol would have been in for a lot of trouble. Anyone want to cast the first stone?
This is sad news indeed. The Palin family has been a prime source of laughter since John picked her out of the woods now we won't get to see the life of Bristol and Levi in prime time. Hmm somehow I think we'll see more than I want to see anyway.
They should have one. As long as Palin is on as well to keep proving how stupid republicans are. She can refudiate herself
Palin is an ignoromnibus.
I love the Palin speak, it reminds me of Ebonics LOL
Look for #shakespalin on twitter – great stuff.
That 'palin rep' – is that a rep for Mama, cuz if so, they would have no idea what Listol have planned. The mama bear didn't even know they were back together, did she? Some family values – when you have a grown daughter, who is already a mother herself, afraid to tell her mother that she is getting married, you have a serious lack family anything....
Cuz?
Cuz?
the word is ""because""
What are you Bob – the forum police? If dippy sarah can make up words, so can I!
They can have their reality show as long as it is on Fox with the rest of the Palin crap.
Everybody that watches FOX ,doesn't like Palin.Or her family.Palin is the worst person the GOP could run.She's a no name clown.Just like the one who's now running this circus.
Actually, what I should have said is that the Palin family already has a reality show. Its called Fox News.
I agree hahahaha.
IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for that
Oh, thank goodness for that!
Not thank goodness, if they have a trashy reality show then Palin's career in politics is as good as dead
They need to do this for the sake of america
The reality show is called "The Jerry Springer Show"
Mama Pali, aka Shakspear, talked to Bristol about the opportunity she saw, "they coud be the next Jon and Kate plus 8," but instead call it "Bristol and Levi Too my Pregnancy Test Turned Blue."
"Thank god" was my thought exactly. Because we need another show about an overweight girl with an overactive libido and an illiterate? Jersey Shores is already on the air.
This is great! Sorts of like a wild boar run wild in the middle of an election campaign.
I hope the show happens.
It's sad that I clicked on the link to this article, sadder that I read it and totally devastating that I took the time to make a comment. I can't beleive what a loser I am.
New study shows that each Sarah Palin Tweet causes decrease in reader’s IQ. Hope Bristol is not reading what mom is tweeting.
Read this article, it is HYSTERICAL.
http://www.dailygoat.com/?p=1821
@Jeffrey – Excuse me, I don't like Bristol Palin in the least, but in what universe is she overweight? She's a normal teenage girl and if you think that is overweight, you need to get a grip.
Troll
