Poor Tripp Palin, born in to the Palin Crime Family:
Levi Johnston says ex-fiance Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, allows him to visit their 3-month-old son but won't let him take the baby out.
In an interview to air Monday with talk show host Tyra Banks, Johnston, 19, said he and 18-year-old Bristol don't always get along.
"Some days we can have regular conversations without fighting," Johnston said. "Most of the times, I don't know what's wrong with her. She's in a pretty bad mood, she's short, she doesn't want me around, I don't think. She says that I can come see the baby and that kind of thing, but won't let me take him anywhere."
The two are the parents of an infant son, Tripp, born on Dec. 27.
Palin family spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said Bristol Palin was unaware Johnston would be appearing on "The Tyra Banks Show," along with his mother, Sherry, and sister, Mercede.
"We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," Stapleton said in a statement Friday.
Whew. That spokeswoman told them! I mean, working for Sarah Palin, I'll bet she knows whereof she speaks.
In the interview with Banks, Johnston said the Alaska governor probably knew he and Bristol were having sex. "Moms are pretty smart," he said.
Well, Levi's mom wasn't smart enough to avoid getting busted for (allegedly) selling "hillbilly heroin" to an undercover cop in the Target parking lot.
In other news, Todd Palin's sister—Tripp Palin's great aunt—was busted on Thursday for burglary:
Todd Palin's half-sister was arrested Thursday after police say she broke into a Wasilla home to steal money for the second time this week but ended up getting caught by the armed homeowner with her 4-year-old daughter nearby.
[…]
Police arrested 35-year-old Diana Palin at a house on West Mill Site Circle near Wasilla's Multi-Use Sports Complex.
Homeowner Theodore Turcott told police an unfamiliar gray 1993 Toyota Camry pulled into his driveway Thursday morning, according to a affidavit filed Friday at Palmer courthouse. Turcott told police he'd been burglarized twice in the last week: Someone stole $2,200 on March 26, leaving $400 behind; after another apparent break-in Tuesday all but $9 was gone.
So, Turcott told police, when he didn't recognize the woman getting out of the Camry, he grabbed a gun and hid in the bathroom to see what happened, said Wasilla police Deputy Chief Greg Wood.
Palin made straight for the bedroom cabinet where Turcott kept his cash, Wood said.
Turcott confronted her, detaining her until police arrived, he said.
But before officers got there, Palin's 4-year-old daughter came in the house, the prosecutor handling the case said during a Palmer District Court hearing Friday afternoon.
"There was a significant safety issue regarding this 4-year-old child," prosecutor Mike Walsh told Judge John Wolfe.
The girl told police she'd been to the house a couple of days earlier, the affidavit stated. Palin, however, said she had never been there before, and mistakenly thought it was a friend's house.
How Palin chose Turcott's house to enter remains unclear. Palin and her husband, Scott McLean, live in a completely different neighborhood on the other side of Wasilla.
McLean was not at the Friday hearing. Earlier in the day, he said he learned of his wife's arrest when police called him Thursday morning to come pick up their daughter. He'd assumed Palin was arrested for driving on a suspended license due to a series of traffic offenses including speeding and expired registration.
Remember, Sarah Palin is a family values candidate.
