Levi Johnston appears topless in GQ with his baby
Bristol Palin may be done with him, but someone thinks Levi Johnston is GQ.
Johnston appears in next month’s GQ magazine topless with the baby he shares with Palin, now an advocate against teen pregnancy.
The magazine piece also includes photos of Johnston’s family and of him carrying for baby Tripp.
See them here and read the profile of Johnston.
Bristol Palin is the daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate.
It was learned during last year’s election season that Johnston impregnated then underage Bristol Palin. The teenagers were to marry.
There has been nothing but bad blood and public name calling since Palin and Johnston abandoned their engagement earlier this year.
Johnston told GQ that Bristol’s family never liked him. Todd Palin offered his daughter a car several times if she would leave Johnston, the article says.

Area students suspended after ‘mass’ flip-flop prank
Wearing flip-flops can be dangerous to a high school career.
Several Jefferson Township High School students were suspended Wednesday, May 27, after participating in a suspected mass flip-flop prank, school principal Mattie White said Thursday, May 28.
White said the students wore the flip-flops to school, violating district policy and ignoring repeated warnings. Each student was suspended for two days.
“It was mass defiance,” White said, adding that it is believed the students spread the word about the prank through text messages.
She declined to confirm rumors that as many as 15 high school students were suspended, saying only that fewer than 20 students were involved.
White said the school district set the ‘no flip-flop” rule long ago in the interest of safety. It also reduces classroom distractions, she added.
This is the first time White has suspended a student for violating the rule. In the past, students comply when told to change shoes.
Dress codes vary among Ohio school districts. Each Ohio school district sets its own policy.
June 2 is the last day for classes at the high school.
Flip-flops apparently have the ability to drive people crazy. Read about how they caused fights and frenzy at Old Navy stores.

Bitterness may be a mental syndrome
Wonder why typically nice, loving people all of a sudden flip out and do something crazy?
Some psychiatrists suggest they may have a disorder.
An increasing number of psychiatrists consider bitterness a mental disorder, according to a Los Angeles Times article published May 25.
They call it post-traumatic embitterment disorder and it is akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.
But unlike PTSD suffers who feel fearful and anxious, embittered people seethe with angry and want red hot revenge after a traumatic situation.
Nice, loving people who all of a sudden snap and kill their families may have the syndrome, the article says.
The American Psychiatric Association is considering applying the term to those so bitter they can barely function, the Times article says.
“They feel the world has treated them unfairly. It’s one step more complex than anger. They’re angry plus helpless,” Dr. Michael Linden, a German psychiatrist who named the behavior, told the newspaper.
