Sarah Palin has opinions on the nude modeling stint of Levi Johnston, father to her grandson. On Monday's Oprah Winfrey Show, Palin refers to Johnston's "aspiring porn" career (he shot a Playgirl pictorial Nov. 12 and 13) as "a bit heartbreaking," reports ETOnline.

Alaska's former governor quips "I believe he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now . . . He's quite busy with the media tours . . . That's Levi's gig right now."
But she retracts the claws a bit to note that teenaged Johnston will "forever be the father of this beautiful baby [grandson Tripp]."
In Oprah interview snippets released late last week, Palin said that Johnston would be welcome at the Palin family table for Thanksgiving.
But Johnston isn't having any of it.
"You could tell by her laugh she was full of it," he reportedly told Playgirl on Friday. The olive branch was "a nice gesture but she didn't mean it," he added; turkey day with the clan would be "awkward."
Palin's appearance on Winfrey's show coincides with Tuesday's release of her memoir Going Rogue: An American Life.

The politician also notes how "devastated" and "embarrassed" daughter Bristol was by media coverage of her pregnancy. "I was naive to think that the media would leave my kids alone," she tells Winfrey.

35"aspiring porn" career (he shot a Playgirl pictorial Nov. 12 and 13) as "a bit heartbreaking," - says the girl who was "cat-walking" in bikini in front of judges and the public... LOL!!!
i agree with Lori A. Left wingers only deem something "wrong" when a Republican commits the act. Self righteous, intolerant and left wing!
Yes siree Bob. That moron, for lack of brains, (listen to his double negatives; the "me" and ...) only knows how to do one thing. Unfortunately "it" in conjunction with his body are yuck to look at! (Hate man boobs.) As for Sarah,I wonder who is going to read and explain the "big" words in her book to him. For sure, I can't believe that he can read, must less speak!
And the bigger question seems to be, how does any of this dysfunctional dynamic relate to the real world???
Yes Palin. You are very naive. Or rather stupid. When you struggle and fight to bring your children onstage and to every photo op you can, then you can't expect the media to ignore it. You wanted to use your kids to advance your career, but then pretended that you wanted the media to ignore them. You are disingenuous.
When some Bimbo spreads them for Playboy and then lament "itâ??s so I can put food on my childrenâ??s table." The female cougars stand unified in praise of the penniless Bimbo. However, not some albeit, not to bright, male trying to salt away enough money to hire lawyer power to take on the Palin legal gang. Annya
Jon Gosselin should be the model for Playgril in February. Show us the stick that made 8 babies.
u people need to get a life, its clear that there are alot of inmature dingdongs out there. levi is a self centered idiot, thinking nothing of what effect his actions are going to have on his son, you might not like sarah palin but i think she is awesome, down to earth and a true lady.
It is utterly amazing that bubble headed people pay attention to this complete and total scumbag. Levi Johnston is about two feet below whale turds. He is a vacuous cloud of flatulance.
I feel sorry for Levi. The most powerfuland vindictive shrew in Alaska is keeping him from his child. He is not a rocket scientist, I guess he is doing what he was led to do. HE WATCHED SARAH DO IT! Sarah is the REAL porn queen. Scarah VAIN & SIMPLE...
John McCain's people are going to have a field day with her.. let alone Levi, very stupid mistake Sarah. You should be reading newspapers instead of writing fictitious novels.
I truly don't think she would even talk about Levi is she wasn't asked to address it, FIRST OF ALL! Jealousy is reigning throughout all these "comments". Sad...Palin '12!!!
I'm completely agree with she's full of it when she had that laugh. She make the biggest mistake leaving Alaska in thought she would winning 2012.
6:31, that hasn't been confirmed.
Perry,you Republican, please cut the crap and leave the monica comments and left wing bs out of this. This immature young person,and he is not a teenager,under the legal age , butis a young person ,has chosen to be in and and is sucked into the fame 15min world.He is hanging with the big dogs in the fame world where it is dog eat dog ,reguritate and eat each other again.he is being used, looking like a fool by the media just like Monica,The Gosselins.Monica-asadfootnote in hisotry forever.the gosselins-results will be seen in the kids in a few years.I need not gone listing cases.
Sarah honey, you allowed LEVI to live in your house, and sleep with your teenage daughter in her bedroom. What kind of mother does that! A bad one!
Really, she can't stick with anything. 5 different colleges, couldn't/wouldn't finish her term as Alaskan governor. I can just see her as VP, "I'm done!" When she gets asked too hard a question.
Curse John McCain for exposing her to us? Isnt that a little much? It is one thing to disagree with her but seriously what did she ever do to you?..Something tells me you hate most people with that kind of an outlook...You are kind of sad!
Ditto to Morgan, took the words right outta my mouth...LOL
Palin is jealous that she did not get asked to do Playboy. Levi is using the money to file for joint custody of his son at the end of the month so he does not have to be controlled by the Palins. It is Levi's right to have his son for Thanksgiving where he wants to and not to be told that he is welcome at their house when he is not. She is pathetic and not one to be talking when she does not spend time to see her disabled son as she is galavanting all around the US and more.
