First, it was Brad and Jen. Then, it was Ryan and Reese. Now… you guessed it, Bristol and Levi.
Many sources (like this one) are reporting that the Biblical couple of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have broken God’s sacred covenant of marriage before even entering it. They “mutually” called it quits.
Here’s what I gather from my variety of sources:
- This story is good enough for Entertainment Weekly. Do you know who Chet Culver’s daughter is? Do you even know who Chet Culver is? He’s the governor of the great state of Iowa. His daughter is Clare. America should know Clare Culver as well as it does Bristol Palin, no?
- Bristol Palin allegedly called Levi’s family “white trash.” Burrrrn.
- The Palins are also allegedly limiting Levi’s visiting rights to Tripp (the name of their child…not to be confused with the verb).
Now, this of course means that Ms. Bristol Palin is up for grabs. But one must not lose sight of the fact that upon marriage to her, you also acquire the in-laws…

This room could be yours at the low price of — $1.
It’s a seemingly twisted plan by the Alexander Inn in at 12th and Spruce streets. Management says it hopes to bring more revenue to the city by allowing guests to stay over for only a buck while they spend their money elsewhere.
After all, Philly’s more fun when you sleep over.
They need a month’s notice. Get your room by calling 215.923.3535 or 877.ALEX.INN. It only works for one night — extended stays will cost you the same amount.

Jimmy Rollins is taking advantage of his World Series title.
On Thursday, he’ll appear on The Late Show with David Letterman. We’ll see if he makes any predictions on this season while in New York City.
But more importantly, he’s featured in this commercial from Dick’s Sporting Goods. It gives a good laugh.

I found this interesting article not too long ago about the obsession Philadelphia has with its newscasters.
Michael Schaffer, a former Inqy staff writer, says that local newscasters act as local celebrities, since many towns don’t have celebrities of their own.
It was a fun read until Page 3, where he gets into the future of local television news. Of course, we all know the situation. But it doesn’t make me feel any better when I keep reading it.

The Temple team who spent Spring Break 2007 sleeping on Fairfax Avenue just to see Bob Barker in 'The Price is Right.' From left, Kaitlyn Kurosky, Courtney Clarahan, Chris Stover, Amanda Laskoskie, Greg Nothstein.
Four years ago today, I experienced a life-altering moment.
I saw Bob Barker live.
So, to reminisce about this experience, my article about the experience which appeared in The Temple News is after the jump.
