First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes … a Gosselin-esque bit of child exploitation? Granted, it’s TMZ that’s reporting it, but this isn’t the only data out there pointing towards a show of some kind. Ricky Hollywood’s lawyer was conspicuously noncommittal when asked about it by the NYT, saying ominously, “I can’t talk about that until the end of the week.”
What could go wrong?
Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are already looking to bring outsiders into their upcoming marriage — in the form of a reality TV crew … this according to a source very familiar with the negotiations.
TMZ has learned the couple has been shopping “multiple reality shows” around town — some of the ideas involve the couple AND their two-year-old son, Tripp.
We’re told the leading concept involves all three people — and will focus on “parenting issues.”
I’ll give you three possibilities. One: Palin’s gone mad and has secretly blessed this freak show on the assumption that the buzz will somehow help her politically.

I’m really hoping it’s not true.
Embarrassing for the whole Palin family.
Good grief, haven’t seen you here in ages. All is well, I hope.
I get this feeling that they are somewhat estranged from their daughter.
No substance? You obviously haven’t seen what passes for programming on VH1, E!, MTV, Style, Bravo these days have you?
18 is the age for voting, being drafted and living on your own, which means they’re both adults.
Yep, and you can get free contraception in grade school and have legal sex at 14 in some states. Meaningless for determining adulthood
I dont watch any of those networks so I guess not LOL. Bravo, that is the channel with that idiot Kathy Griffin..I guess if that dufus could get a show anyone can, but will they even bother watching..that is the question..no ratings, means epic fail
I get the feeling they are estranged as well. No way is Sarah happy about her daughter dating that prick..no one would want a guy like that being with their daughter but she is of legal age, can do whatever she pleases..I dont think Bristol is a bad kid, just making bad choices. I think she got a little too addicted to the celebrity and is trying to milk her 15 minutes of fame
Good points all, Vet.
As opposed to the other highly conceptualized and substantive reality shows, like Jersey Shore and The Hills?
Isn't that the point?
Almost 20 years ago, a guy named Seinfeld made a show about people trying to make a show that was about "nothing". Today, that concept is fully realized in reality television. For the studios, they make money hand over fist. I'm sure this one would do just as well, perhaps even much better.
It's gonna happen.
Hard to imagine the restraint it would take to not beat the sh*t out of Levi
Next thing I am going to hear is that she is pregnant again.
Little doubt
I do agree with you.
18 year olds can sign a contract, buy a home, use a firearm, buy a car, etc. thanks to MADD, they can’t drink, but otherwise, they’re adults.
That fool should have been taken to the wood shed a long time ago..but I still don’t see how this will affect Sarah’s chances if she wants to run in 2012, I said IF since I have no clue if she wants to even run(Now I know you dont want her to win but would still like your opinion) I Mean so what, she has a daughter who is making bad choices..heck Reagan had two kids who smeared the family..Patty posed for Playboy for goodness sake and smeared the family..she grew up and realized what she did was wrong..and Ron Reagan is still running his trap..so if those two did not affect Ronald Reagan, then Bristol’s stupidity and immaturity should not affect her mother
Me too. I’m amazed that as bright as Sarah is, none of her kids so far have chosen college.
I’m by no means rich, but all three of mine have chosen to get a higher education.
A bit spoiled maybe?
You reap what you sow.
yet they can’t rent a car, run for office, go to a casino, get a concealed weapons permit in some states, or take a cruise.
BTW, it wasn’t MADD. It was that dingbat Liddy Dole.
I hope “reality” smacks them both in the head REALLY HARD!
