Us Weekly reports that — wait for it, wait for it — Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are engaged. Again!

Bristol and Levi, 20 — who famously called off their previous engagement two weeks after welcoming son Tripp in December 2008 — tell Us Weekly they reconnected three months ago while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son.

“I really thought we were over,” Levi tells Us Weekly. “So when I went, I had no hope. I think we both just started talking — and then we took Tripp for a walk.”

Says Bristol, “When he left that night, we didn’t hug or kiss, but I was thinking how different it was. He texted me: ‘I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again’ … I was in shock.”

And it’s funny, too, since Levi just released a statement as to how “sorry” he was to Sarah Palin and family for his prior indiscretions. Good timing, Lee. Good-assed timing. But not a good-assed reveal, because I’m gathering from the interview that the couple spoke to Us before they let Sarah know:

Says Bristol, “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board.”

Oh, snap, Bristol. Looks like you’re gonna be cut out of the political suicide family inheritance this time. No, but really. These two are just kids.  Kids! We can expect that they’ve made mistakes in their past (I’m lookin’ at you Mr. Playgirl Playmate), and I’m sure they’re trying to rectify whatever personal damage was done between the two of them (and Sarah Palin … and the media … and the eyes that saw Levi Johnston’s johnson), so I really think we should back off these guys, give them a little room and see what they can do.  They just better remember that they’re not the only ones at stake, here: there’s an adorable little baby involved, too, and that child doesn’t need the drama that having kids at a very young age can stir up.

What do you guys think? Will this little family be left alone, or do you think that Palin’s supporters are going to try and sabotage this reunion at any cost?

Best. Lede. Ever.

Not gonna try to top it.

So long, Faci Montage, Rager Pratt, Cokeface McGee, Other Cokeface McGee, Mutilated Ceiling Eyes, Choady Jenner, Justin Bobby Mumblehead and Blow Notworth. Have fun attempting to use cocaine and alcohol to fill the giant hole that not being on TV anymore will leave in your already-tenuous self-esteem. Catch ya on Celebrity Rehab! (No, actually I won’t, because I am fundamentally opposed to that show in so many ways.)

And I’ve got a myriad of photos to prove it!

Well, OK. No, not every celebrity known to man, but a bunch that allowed themselves to be photographed. I mean, it is New York City after all, right?

“[When] other actresses who aren’t thought of, maybe, as being quite as attractive do full-frontal, they’re called brave. Nobody has ever said, ‘Eva, you’re so brave for doing full-frontal nudity.’ Just because I’m attractive doesn’t mean it’s not still scary. Why am I not brave?”

Eva Mendes in a recent interview with Allure magazine on exposing her lady bits for the sake of thee-ah-tah. Or crap movies, dealer’s choice.

I, you know, knew that Kim Kardashian had a new boy-toy since getting dumped by breaking up with Reggie Bush, but because she’s kind of really not on my radar at all, I didn’t really pay attention to who the lucky dude was.

However. HOWEVER. I came across these photos today of Kim and new boyfriend, Miles Austin, and I have one thing to say: Yummy! Miles Austin, huh? I guess the new fad these days reverts back to high school behavior — trying to date the hottest football players, like, ever, right?

I can’t begrudge her, though. She’s smokin’ hot, and he is, too, so they’re clearly a match made in heaven, at least according to Hollywood standards. Right? Right.

PS – Blue looks good on you, girl. Just not as good as I bet this guy does, knowwhatImeanknowwhatImean?

But I heard she thinks I’m Santa Claus in a really good disguise, so her perception might be a bit, oh, skewed.

Goldberg spoke out in support of Gibson on a recent episode of The View, and claimed that Gibson had spent time in her home, and because of that, she’d know if he was a racially-motivated slimeball:

“I know Mel, and I know he’s not a racist,” Goldberg said. “He may be a bonehead … I can’t sit and say that he’s a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids.”

I mean, Whoopi, who is clearly African-American, speaking out on Mel’s behalf says a lot in more than just one way, but Joy Behar (a woman I generally don’t agree with much) claims otherwise. On the same episode, Behar blasted Gibson for his remarks stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest:

“Give me a break, you’re an anti-Semite, you’re a misogynist, and you’re a racist!”

So. Who are you siding with? A black woman who’s spent periods of personal time with the disgraced Patriot actor, or a sometimes-annoying, but outspoken woman that’s regrettably often right more than she’s not?

Should we even be debating this? What’s been said has been said, and there’s no “unsaying” it. I mean, it’s not as if he called people “poopyheads,” or “dumb morons” or something.
