re: #133 The Shadow Do

I think it is really unpleasant to see folks unload on Bristol Palin. She is a kid. She screwed up, astonishing I know. As for being a hypocrite that only applies if she continues to lead her life in a way contrary to her message now. Oh, and it is not a crime to make a buck. Really.

However:

Report: Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin Were Paid $100,000 For Cover Story

After the news broke that Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin were engaged, many began to speculate what sort of compensation they got for their cover and exclusive story.

Sources at the NY Post estimate Us Weekly paid $100,000 for the story, but a rep for the mag rep said in a statement, “We were approached by Bristol and Levi to break the news, and we didn’t pay $100,000.”

Hmm, what do you think they were paid? Levi wasn’t naked so we’re sure he didn’t demand THAT much money, but it sounds like he did his homework with Bristol, as she did another interview with People right before the the Us Weekly cover came out, and she wouldn’t admit whether or not they were back together! So sneaky, these kids…

I just ran across this. Looks like I was wrong about this one.
