    Bristol Palin selling her car via Craigslist ad

    By Bruna Nessif, E! Online

    Wanna cruise in Bristol Palin's old ride? Now you can! After deciding to part ways with her car, the two-time "Dancing With the Stars" alum posted a sales ad on none other than sell-your-stuff-site-extraordinaire Craigslist.

    Bristol's Blog

    Bristol Palin and her son Tripp and the car she is selling.

    And she included a picture of her and son Tripp standing in front of the car so that we would know the offer was legit! Smart.

    Levi Johnston marries Sunny Oglesby

    "Faithful readers know I love Craigslist!! So, when it came time to sell my car, that's exactly where I went! Here's the information about my car," she wrote on her website.

    Palin's 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T HEMI has 14,510 miles on it, and its famous owner had tinted windows and custom black and white leather seats installed. When not in use, it was housed in an air-conditioned garage.

    But do you know what it doesn't have? Any scratches or dings! (She also helpfully noted: "cute boy in above photo not included!")

    Bristol is asking $27,500 for her lightly used wheels.

    Levi Johnston marries Sunny Oglesby

    By Rebecca Macatee, E! Online

    Sad news for Mama Grizzlies everywhere: Levi Johnston is a married man. 

    Bristol Palin's ex-fiance said "I do" Sunday evening to Sunny Oglesby in Alaska in front of over 100 close friends and family members, Us Weekly reports.

    "Congrats to my Brother Levi and his lovely bride Sunny," Johnston's sister, Mercede, tweeted, and proceeded to post photos of the groom and new sister-in-law.

    Levi and Sunny, a 20-year-old teacher, welcomed daughter Breeze Beretta, named after the firearm, in September. Levi, 22, also has a 4-year-old son, Tripp, from his relationship with Bristol.

    Bristol eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars"

    And while Sarah Palin's "Dancing With the Stars" daughter and Levi have had a contentious relationship in the past, they seem to have patched things up. When Levi and Sunny welcomed baby Breeze, Bristol told E! News she "sent them some flowers today when I heard the news!"

    Bristol also said she "(wishes) them the best. Tripp will be excited to hold her!"

    Congratulations all around.

    Slimmer Bristol Palin tells how she lost weight

    "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" contestant Bristol Palin.

    By Us Weekly

    Bristol Palin's back on "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars" -- with a hot new bod! Returning to the ballroom alongside her season 11 pro partner Mark Ballas, Palin wowed "DWTS" judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli with her cha cha, but also impressed with her slimmer waistline.

    "I'm definitely in better shape than I was last time, definitely. I'm just more active and I cut all the crap out of my diet! It's that simple," Palin, 21, told Us Weekly backstage Monday after earning a score of 19 points out of 30 from the judges, including Inaba, who declared Palin the "most improved" returning contestant. "And my kid's a lot more rowdy, a lot more active. I'm running after him a lot! He's huge! He thinks he's a teenager already."

    PHOTOS: Meet Bristol's 'DWTS' competition

    Palin's mom, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and father, Todd, joined her son Tripp, 3, in the audience to watch the DWTS premiere, and the returning celeb dancer told Us her family remains a huge motivating factor in her ballroom success. "If I ever hear anything bad that's being said about me or my family, it just gives me motivation to do better, and that's what I do!" reasoned the reality TV veteran, who starred in Lifetime's "Life's a Tripp" after her first "DWTS" stint in 2010.

    As they face off against "DWTS: All-Stars" competition Kirstie Alley, Pamela Anderson and others this season, Palin and Ballas look forward to using her newfound confidence to their advantage in the rehearsal studio.

    "We picked up where we left off. We stayed in touch since last time and we just went back into it. We balance each other," Ballas, 26, explained. "I'm loud and obnoxious and she's quiet and chill."

    Added his partner: "Mark says he's like a chimpanzee and I'm like a turtle, poking out of my shell!"

    Man who heckled Bristol Palin in bar sues her for defamation

    By Jill Serjeant, Reuters

    LOS ANGELES -- A man who heckled Bristol Palin in a Los Angeles bar and insulted her conservative politician mother, Sarah Palin, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing the single mom of defamation.

    Talent manager Stephen Hanks also sued cable channel Lifetime, which includes film of the 2011 incident in Bristol Palin's upcoming reality TV show, claiming he had not given the program's makers his permission to be filmed.

    The lawsuit, filed in U.S. federal court in Los Angeles, stems from a widely publicized September 2011 incident at a bar and restaurant on the famous Sunset Strip.

    The amount of damages is not specified but Hank's lawyer, Los Angeles-based Michael Gulden, told Reuters the suit had been filed in federal court because the plaintiff was seeking more than $75,000.

    Representatives for Palin and Lifetime did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    Palin, who rose to fame because of a teen pregnancy when her mother was running for U.S. vice president in 2008 as a Republican, had just ridden a mechanical bull at the bar when Hanks, who was a customer there, shouted out that her mother was "a whore" and said she was "evil."

    Video of the exchange that was widely posted on the Internet shows Palin, 21, confronting Hanks, asking him if he was gay, and getting into a heated exchange with the man who heckled her.

    Palin later told celebrity magazine In Touch that the incident was one of the reasons she had decided to leave Los Angeles and return to her home in Wasilla, Alaska.

    Hanks claims in his lawsuit, however, that Palin had bought a new house in Alaska in July 2011, and that she had defamed him by publicly blaming their encounter for her decision to leave Los Angeles.

    Hanks also says he suffered emotional distress and invasion of privacy over Palin's questions about his sexuality, and the use of the incident in publicity for the TV reality show.

    "Bristol Palin's conduct was outrageous", states the lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.

    "Bristol Palin first accused Plaintiff off 'being a homosexual' in a degrading manner in front of others ... she then in a magazine article blamed Plaintiff for her decision to leave Los Angeles for Alaska even though she had purchased her home in Alaska ... more than two months before the encounter," the lawsuit adds.

    Palin's reality show "Life's a Tripp", which chronicles her stay in Los Angeles with her now 3-year-old son Tripp and her return to Alaska, is scheduled to premiere on the Lifetime cable channel on June 19.

    Gulden said Hanks had tried without success to solve the matter outside the courts with Lifetime and its parent company A&E Television Networks, which is owned by NBCUniversal, Disney-ABC Television, and the Hearst Corporation.

    "He has communicated with A&E regarding use of the footage, and they were non-responsive. He felt (filing the lawsuit) was all he could do to protects his rights," Gulden told Reuters.

    NBCUniversal is controlled by Comcast Corp. and Disney-ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.

    Source says Levi Johnston penniless, living with his mom

    By Us Weekly

    He's not the Thrilla From Wasilla anymore. Bristol Palin's baby-daddy, Levi Johnston, is now penniless and living in his mother's Alaska home, a source tells Us Weekly.

    "Levi made more than $1 million and squandered it on guns, boats and four-wheelers," the source says of Playgirl's winter 2010 cover model, 22.

    The cash certainly didn't go to Palin, 21, for their 3-year-old, Tripp. "Levi hasn't paid child support in nearly two years," says another insider. "And he has little contact with Tripp."

    Meanwhile, the onetime mayoral hopeful is expecting a daughter with girlfriend Sunny Oglesby. (They told Inside Edition they plan to name her Breeze Beretta, after the gun.) Says the first source, "Levi is confused about his life."

    PHOTOS: Bristol and Levi--the way they were

    Levi Johnston's former rep Tank Jones -- with whom he recently parted ways -- counters that Levi is doing great.

    "I wanted to work on other projects. This was a mutual decision," Jones tells Us of his decision to cease working with the Alaska native. "I would think he would want to do some different things too. I would never leave him at a low point."
