Opportunistic Publicity Whores


Levi Johnston, that bastion of responsibility and reliability, is once again capitalizing on his hanger-on notoriety. And of course, the mainstream media are all over this important story:
A spokeswoman for Gov. Sarah Palin is scoffing at comments by Bristol Palin's former fiance, who says he thinks Palin resigned to cash in on her fame.

(...)

"She had talked about how nice it would be to take some of this money people had been offering us and you know just run with it, say 'forget everything else,'" he said.

He said he thinks book deals were really what appealed to Palin.

"I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars," said Johnston, who has had a strained relationship with the family but now says things have improved.


In other news, LaToya Jackson, that bastion of responsibility and reliability, is once again capitalizing on her hanger-on notoriety. And of course, the mainstream media are all over this important story, too:
Michael Jackson was killed by a band of greedy hangers-on, his sister La Toya alleges in interviews with British Sunday newspapers.

"I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start,'' the 53-year-old said.

"Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that."

"Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn't have his best interests at heart."

La Toya said she had ordered a private autopsy.
